Long summer customs

In agricultural proverbs, there is a saying that "see summer in the long summer", which means that the crops to be harvested in summer have entered the late growth stage, and the overall situation has been set, so the harvest can be seen in the long summer.

In ancient times, China, as an agricultural society, attached great importance to the solar terms in the long summer. In the long summer, every day the monarch and ministers put on a scarlet dress decorated with Yu Pei, a horse and a car flag. Under the leadership of the emperor, they will go down to the southern suburbs of Beijing to hold a summer welcoming ceremony to express their prayers and expectations for a bumper harvest. After the ceremony, many officials will be appointed to rush to various places to encourage farmers to pay close attention to farming and exchange their efforts and labor for a bumper harvest year, so that people can also eat and wear warm clothes.
