Xiao Shu's Life Implication

The meaning of life represented by Xiao Shu.

The hot summer represents the turning point of the solar terms and the beginning of a new life. It also tells us that we must learn to adjust in time to adapt.

According to the traditional solar terms, a * * * is divided into 24 solar terms, and the summer solar term is the 1 1 th solar term, which means the official start of the summer season, and the fifth solar term means the official start of the last month of the summer season; When the sun reaches longitude 15 degrees, it is called the solar term in summer.

According to the traditional folk customs, with the arrival of the summer solar terms, some places have the custom of eating lotus roots, because in ancient times, lotus roots were called imperial offerings. Lotus root is homophonic with "even", so people eat lotus root to wish a happy marriage.

Lotus root, like lotus flower, is not stained with mud, so it is also regarded as a symbol of pure and noble personality.

Different places have different customs. For example, in southern Shandong and northern Jiangsu, there is a custom of eating summer sheep, because it happens to be the third summer after the intense heat.

Before the arrival of the autumn harvest in summer, farmers who have been busy for half a year will eat summer sheep in groups of three or five households and seven or eight households.

At this time, the little goat who grew up drinking mountain spring water has been eating grass for several months, and it is tender and fragrant.
