The origin of summer solstice

Since the Zhou Dynasty, there has been a ritual of offering sacrifices to the gods in the summer solstice, and people eat noodles in the summer solstice on this day. In summer, noodles eaten on the solstice are mainly noodles with gravy in the north and Zhajiang Noodles. On the solstice of summer, new wheat has appeared, so eating noodles also means tasting new things. The weather is sultry, a bowl of water served with refreshing side dishes will not only increase appetite, but also relieve summer heat.
