Which solar term is heavier in 24 solar terms?

Among the 24 solar terms, the weighted solar term is Long Summer.

"At the time of the fantasy story in the long summer, the giant scale hung high and sat in the bamboo basket. All ages are on the scale, and the new rope is the most embarrassing. " Today is the long summer among the 24 solar terms. When the long summer begins, when people are working hard, they often sweat, lose appetite, find it difficult to sleep and become thinner. This is what the ancients called "summer".

There is a custom of "weighing people" in the long summer since ancient times, that is, weighing people once in the long summer and weighing them again in beginning of autumn, so that people can observe the physical changes in the summer, prevent the summer attacks and keep healthy.

Chang Xia's The Weigher has a lot to pay attention to.

For example, the weigher can only "hit inside" but not "hit inside", that is, the weight can only move outward, not inward, that is, it can only be aggravated, but not lightened, otherwise it will be considered unlucky.

Scales generally say auspicious words when weighing flowers-when weighing old people, they should say "weigh 87 flowers and live to 9 1 year"; According to the child, "it takes a dozen or twenty-three to grow up." Seven county officials should not be guilty, and three public officials and nine ministers should climb. "

It is worth mentioning that what people report and write down in the "scale" is not necessarily the real weight, but often a lucky number is chosen, and accuracy is second. This also shows that people hope to bring good luck by "weighing people".

On hearing the weighing, many modern people who are losing weight are embarrassed: "If you don't lose weight in April, you will be sad in May." In fact, the custom of "weighing people" in the long summer has no clear connection with whether they are overweight or not, so we don't have to avoid it because our weight is not ideal.
