What does Chang Xia say about eating watermelon?

Eating watermelon in the long summer comes from an allusion, mainly to taste it early and welcome the arrival of summer, which means farewell and can cool off the heat. Long summer is one of the 24 solar terms.

First, the custom of eating watermelon in long summer comes from an allusion:

Women in western countries go to the fields to touch melons in the early autumn night. If they can touch the ripe melon, it means that this woman can have a son.

Second, because before and after the long summer, it happens to be the ripe season of watermelon. People eat watermelon in the long summer on this day, mainly for early taste, and it has gradually evolved into a custom.

Third, many old people think that eating watermelon in long summer can cool off the heat, so people gradually start eating watermelon in long summer.

With the arrival of the long summer, the weather began to get hot. Watermelon is cool, which can relieve summer heat and also means farewell. This is probably why people like to eat watermelon in the long summer. Long summer is also a very important day, especially for farmers, so in order to meet this day, people will choose to eat watermelon in long summer.
