Traditional custom of summer vacation

For coastal fishermen, the summer heat is the harvest season. During the summer vacation every year, the annual grand fishing festival will be held in the coastal areas of Zhejiang. It was decided to hold a grand fishing ceremony on the day of the fishing moratorium in the East China Sea to see the fishermen off to sea. Because the water temperature in the sea area is still high at this time, fish will still stay around the sea area and fish, shrimp and shellfish will mature. Therefore, from this time on, people can often enjoy all kinds of seafood.

2. Tourism welcomes autumn.

The folk customs around the summer solar terms are mostly related to ancestor worship and welcoming autumn. There will be folk activities to celebrate "July 30th" around the summer vacation. In addition, after summer, autumn is getting stronger, which is a good time for people to go swimming in the suburbs to meet autumn scenery. After the heat, even the clouds in the sky seem to be evacuated and free, unlike the thick clouds in the heat. There has always been a saying among the people that "seeing a clever cloud in July and August" means "going out to welcome autumn".

3. worship the earth god.

Summer solar terms coincide with the harvest season of crops. In ancient times, people held various ceremonies to worship their ancestors and thank the landowners.
