Chang Xia is used to weighing himself.

Long summer is used to weighing and praying.

Changxia wants to weigh herself on the day of Changxia. People will use scales to weigh people, mainly the elderly and children, to remind people to pay attention to their health and avoid being bitten by various mosquitoes in summer. After weighing, if you lose weight, it means you have lost meat, and if you gain weight, it means you have gained weight. When weighing, if the weight is nine, the person weighing will add another catty to get a lucky number when declaring, because nine is the last number.

The origin of weighing custom in long summer

The custom of weighing in the long summer originated from the legend of the Three Kingdoms. Adou was raised by Mrs. Sun, and she would weigh Adou in front of Zhao Zilong. Every cycle is assessed according to the long summer, and then she writes to Zhuge Liang to report the situation. People believe that after the long summer is called the sky, they are not afraid of being emaciated by the summer heat, and they can stay away from illness and increase their life span.
