What day is August 7th?

August 7th is the Swedish Lobster Festival (Boys' Day).

Lobster Festival is one of the traditional festivals in Sweden, also known as Boys' Day. From August 7th every year, men take their little boys out to sea to catch lobsters. It is hoped that through this fast-moving activity, little boys all over the country will be encouraged to learn the courage, delicacy and wisdom of lobsters, and the children will be trained to be hardworking and persistent. If they can go home with a full load, it will indicate that the little boy is smart, diligent and has good luck in the year.

During the lobster festival, people will also hold various lobster parties. Colored paper and special aprons, lace tablecloths and lobster-shaped red lanterns were lit. The family sat around the dining table and tasted lobster. While drinking, adults eat lobster while guessing at the bridge, and at the same time loudly praise the little boys at home, give them encouragement and hope that they will grow up healthily.

The origin of calendar

Lunar calendar is a traditional calendar in China. According to the cycle of the moon phase, each moon phase changes to one month, and a tropical year is divided into 24 segments, forming 24 solar terms. By referring to the tropic year of the sun, leap months are set to adapt their average calendar year to the tropic year. The lunar calendar combines the lunar calendar with the solar calendar to form a method of combining yin and yang.

The lunar calendar is also called summer calendar, lunar calendar, old calendar, middle calendar and lunar calendar. Because of the use of "Xia Zheng", it used to be called "Li Xia" every day, and it was renamed "Lunar Calendar" after 1970. The lunar calendar is a combination of yin and yang, and the years are divided into flat years and leap years. An average year is twelve months; A leap year is thirteen months. A month is divided into a big month and a small month, with 30 days in the big month and 29 days in the small month, and its average calendar month is equal to the full moon.
