Why do you eat pears? Why do you want to eat pears in solar terms?

The ancestors of the Qu family of Shanxi merchants used the hemp and pears of the Party to mix cloth and red dates in Qixian County, thus making a fortune. His descendants went to the west, and the elders at home invited him to eat a pear before he set out, and told him that his ancestors made a fortune by selling pears. After eating pears, don't forget your ancestors and try to honor them. That day happened to be a shock. Later, all rivers in the canal made a fortune in the west and opened a famous firm "Changyuan Hou". Later, it was said that "starting a business at home" was a surprise to eat pears, and later it was extended to "glorifying ancestors".

The reason for eating pears in shock is said to be because the weather is dry and irritable in shock season. Pears have the functions of calming the five internal organs, resolving phlegm and relieving cough, and can enhance people's immunity. The people developed the custom of eating pears, squeezing pear juice and cooking pears at this time, so eating pears in shock was preserved.

It is also said that it is because of this season, all kinds of insects wake up and will soon infringe on the human body and crops. Pear is homophonic with "Li". Eating pears on this day means that they will have no pests, be healthy and have a good harvest in the future. This is a homophonic and auspicious statement, but it is also the sustenance of people's good wishes.
