Long summer is the seventh solar term among the twenty-four solar terms and the first solar term in summer. Long summer bid farewell to spring, which is the beginning of summer. With the increase of sunshine, the temperature rises gradually, thunderstorms increase, and crops enter a vigorous growth stage.

Entering the long summer, people's metabolism is accelerated, and blood supply to the heart and brain is insufficient, which often makes people fidgety, tired and lazy. It is necessary to arrange work and rest time reasonably, supplement nutrition and adopt correct health care methods.

There is a custom of eating "foot bone bamboo shoots" in the long summer. "Foot bone bamboo shoots" are actually wild bamboo shoots. There are many kinds of wild bamboo shoots, such as black bamboo shoots and arrow bamboo. People buy bamboo shoots, peel and flatten them, and then cut them into small pieces of about 4 cm, which look like the shape of foot bones. From the long summer to the beginning of the busy farming season, people eat "bamboo shoots with feet and bones" to show "healthy feet and bones", that is, good health.
