Why does Chang Xia eat eggs? What is the origin?

Eat eggs in long summer to avoid summer. According to legend, since the day of long summer, the weather is sunny and warm, and it is getting hotter and hotter. Children will feel tired and weak, which is called "summer". Nu Wa Niangniang told the people that every year in the long summer, hard-boiled eggs would be hung on their children's chests to escape the heat. Therefore, the custom of eating eggs in the long summer festival has continued to this day.

"Summer" in long summer means "big", which means that plants sown in spring have grown upright. When the temperature rises obviously, the summer heat comes, thunderstorms increase and crops enter the peak season, people are used to taking long summer as an important solar term. There are three times in the long summer, the first time is the sound of insects, the second time is the appearance of earthworms, and the third time is the birth of melons. The main customs are welcoming the summer ceremony, tasting new things, playing egg games, and "weighing people" in the long summer.
