"Is the Spring Festival cold? Look at the sky in early summer. " Tomorrow is summer. Is it cold this Spring Festival? Look at what the agricultural proverb says.
This proverb means that if it often rains during the summer solar term, it indicates that there will be a lot of rain and snow in winter. Summer solar terms indicate that the summer heat fades, the chill begins to rise, and the coolness of autumn gradually arrives. If it rains often, the cold will come early.
As the saying goes: "One autumn rain brings a cold, and ten autumn rains bring cotton." Summer and solar terms last about half a month. If it rains for ten days in a row, autumn cold will come, and people need to wear cotton-padded clothes to keep warm. This means that it will be very cold in winter, and it will definitely be cold in the Spring Festival.
If the weather is warm in summer and solar terms, it means that the cold has not yet arrived and autumn is not strong, then winter will not be too cold, and the Spring Festival will naturally not be too cold.
Summer customs:
1, Eat Duck: The ancients thought that ducks in the middle of July in the lunar calendar were the fattest and most nutritious. So on this day in summer, old Beijingers will buy lily ducks to cool off, while Jiangsu people will cook duck dishes for their neighbors, which means "send ducks in summer, and no one gets sick."
2. Drink bitter tea: Cantonese people often drink bitter herbal tea in summer customs, which symbolizes that they want to eat something "bitter" in autumn.
3. River lanterns: River lanterns are another custom in summer. Before and after the summer vacation, people will hold activities to celebrate the Central Plains, one of which is to put river lanterns in the water and let them drift.
4. Have a fishing festival. For coastal fishermen, the high temperature in summer marks the beginning of fishery harvest. At this time, the water temperature in the sea area is still high, fish will stay around the fishing ground, and fish, shrimp and shellfish will mature. Therefore, a grand fishing festival will be held in the coastal areas of Zhejiang to send fishermen out to sea to celebrate the harvest of fisheries.
