Customs of summer solstice: What are the customs of summer solstice solar terms and what are they?

Summer solstice welcomes representatives of typical custom foods from all over the world.

Northern region: Cold noodles are widely eaten in Beijing, Shandong and other places, commonly known as water, and there is a proverb that "the winter solstice is the day of the summer solstice". In Laiyang, Yantai, new wheat is recommended from summer to sun, while in Huangxian (now Longkou City, Yantai), new wheat grains are cooked and eaten. Children weave a delicate small hedge with wheat straw and fish it into their mouths again and again in soup. It is not only a game but also a game, which is very interesting for farm life.

Shaoxing: In the past, in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, people, regardless of wealth, would sacrifice their ancestors in the summer solstice, commonly known as "making the summer solstice". In addition to the regular offerings, they also added a plate of cookies. However, due to the climate, the dragon boat race in Shaoxing has not been held on the Dragon Boat Festival since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but on the solstice in summer, and this custom still exists.

Wuxi: On the solstice of summer, Wuxi people eat porridge in the morning and wonton at noon, which means chaos and harmony. There is a proverb: "Summer solstice wonton winter solstice reunion, four seasons Ankang people reunion." After eating wonton, I weigh the child, hoping that the child will gain weight and be healthy.

In Guangdong, people like to nourish and eat cold food in summer, so residents usually cook traditional and very sweet foods in summer, such as Qingbu Liangtang, herbal tea and sour plum soup. Moreover, in summer, the food is more vinegar, less salt, less ginger and less garlic, and the taste is light, mainly flour, lean meat, vegetables and fruits.
