What does it mean to beat eggs in the long summer?

It means that eating eggs can be full of energy in this solar term.

Eating long summer eggs is a custom that many people know. On festivals, many people will boil eggs, add salt and tea. But after cooking, children are not in a hurry to eat first, but compare first and fight first. Each of them carries a red woven bag filled with heavy eggs. Everyone in groups of three or five, all rubbing their hands, began to compete for eggs. According to the rules, the last broken eggshell will win. As for the reason why we play this game, people think it can prevent children from heatstroke and spend the whole summer healthily.

We can know its meaning from this custom-related proverb, which is called: "If you eat eggs in long summer, it will not be summer in hot weather." It means that eating eggs can be full of energy in this solar term. Because it represents the beginning of summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and many people will have symptoms of physical fatigue, weakness of limbs and loss of appetite, which is called "summer" by Chinese medicine. In ancient times, people thought that eggs were round, symbolizing a complete life. Eating eggs in summer, praying for peace in summer and enduring the test of "summer" is also an important moral.
