1, long summer custom in Shengzhou: peas and glutinous rice.

The long summer lunch in Shengzhou is glutinous rice with peas. There must be boiled eggs, whole bamboo shoots, peas with shells and other special dishes on the dining table. Eat double eggs and bamboo shoots in pairs, no matter how many peas. According to folklore, eating eggs in long summer depends on the heart.

. Because eggs are shaped like a heart, people think that eating eggs can keep the spirit from losing money. It will be a hot summer after a long summer. In order not to lose weight in hot summer, Chang Xia should take supplements.

With a thriving life, people's legs are as strong as bamboo shoots, and they can travel long distances by their legs. Peas with shells are shaped like eyes. Eye diseases were common in ancient times. In order to eliminate eye diseases, people pray that their eyes will be as clear as fresh peas for one year by eating peas.

2, Minnan long summer custom: eat shrimp noodles

Every household in southern Fujian often mixes red distiller's grains with noodles and cooks them for the whole family. Because the red distiller's grains are auspicious in color, they also have the function of fermentation, thus making people rich. Red distiller's grains are also helpful for digestion and health.

Later, this custom evolved, and the red distiller's grains were replaced by sea shrimp, which was called "eating shrimp (homophonic with shrimp in Minnan dialect in summer)". Shrimp will turn red when cooked, the same color as red grain, as a wish for summer.

On the long summer day, many married daughters will prepare pork, pork belly, pork loin and egg noodles for their parents to eat, which is called "summer tonic" to express their filial piety to their parents.
