What does Tangshan eat with his head down?

In Tangshan, people eat jiaozi on their heads, and Tangshan has the custom of "eating jiaozi on their heads". Many citizens are used to eating jiaozi on this day, and jiaozi will be sold in major hotels on that day. Guests who come to dinner will order several plates of solar terms in jiaozi.

According to China's calendar, this is the beginning of a real summer. Eating jiaozi on the head is a traditional custom, because people have a bad appetite in dog days and can't eat anything, while jiaozi is the food that satisfies their appetite in the traditional customs of China, so people eat jiaozi on their heads, hoping to spend the summer safely.

Dog days are the days with the highest temperature, humidity and sultry weather in a year, and there are "dog days" in a year. It is at this time that the people say "bitter summer". When the wheat harvest is less than one month, people will take this opportunity to have a rare meal in Man Cang. jiaozi is the top grade that is rarely seen at ordinary times. Therefore, there is a saying that "you can eat jiaozi's negative while lying down, and you can spread your eggs while lying down".

In addition, "Fu Tou" eats jiaozi's homonym of "Yuan Baofu", which means praying for the summer. More importantly, eating jiaozi, drinking hot soup, sweating all over, can dispel the "poisonous fire" in midsummer and supplement the physical exertion in muggy weather.
