What is the meaning of the custom of calling people in the long summer solar terms? Where did this custom originate?

? The day of long summer symbolizes that the new spring has passed and the hot summer is coming. At the beginning of the long summer, the branches and buds of trees have grown into lush leaves, the grass has become greener and everything has become lush. ? Less than half a month after the long summer, it started to rain in Grain Rain today? With the arrival of summer, the rainy season also increases with the arrival of thunderstorm. In addition, the temperature rises in summer, the weather is hot, the days are long and the nights are short, and it is easy to get heatstroke.

Every festival has its own customs. Long summer is one of the 24 solar terms, and this alternate day of spring and summer is no exception. Black rice, eating eggs, hanging eggs, beating eggs, eating black bamboo shoots and eating long summer rice are all special customs in long summer. Besides eating, there is a special custom of weighing. Because in summer, people often lose their appetite, and eating less is easy to lose weight and lose fat, but the ancients all like round bodies, thinking that it is good to be round and full, and losing weight will affect their health. So people should weigh themselves once in the long summer, which means staying away from emaciation, being healthy and being happy forever.

? The custom of weighing originated in the Three Kingdoms period, when Liu Chan's Changxia Kingdom was destroyed by Si Mazhao. In order to reassure people, Si Mazhao didn't hurt Liu Chan, but named him An Le Gong. To show sincerity, Si Mazhao weighed Liu Chan in public to show that he wouldn't mistreat him. Therefore, the tradition of weighing himself on this day has been passed down, which means that in summer, he is healthy, eats a lot and is full. ?
