What are the traditional customs of the summer solstice solar terms? Are the 24 solar terms only available in China?

During the summer solstice, some people will eat noodles and send folding fans, which gradually becomes the traditional custom of the summer solstice solar terms. In addition, there are no 24 solar terms in other countries, and the 24 solar terms are unique customs handed down by the Chinese nation from ancient times to the present.

A year is divided into 12 months, and the average number of days in each month is about 30 days. Because the ancient people depended on the sky for food and needed to complete farming according to different solar terms, which made the ancient people calculate 24 solar terms according to the growth status of different crops. It is equivalent to re-entering a brand-new solar term every half month. For example, the solar term from summer to the day before is Mang, which is separated by 15 days.

When we gradually understand the traditional culture of China and the importance that China residents attach to crops, we will fully understand the influence of the 24 solar terms. Whenever we buy a calendar, the custom and specific date of each solar term are recorded in detail on the calendar.

Eating noodles on the solstice in summer has become a major custom in northern China. On the solstice of summer, the weather is hot, and hot noodles have become unattainable food for many people. On the other hand, residents south of the Yangtze River regard eating noodles from summer solstice as one of the holiday customs. With the development of the times, eating noodles in the summer solstice has become the cognition of many young people on major solar terms.

In fact, in summer solstice, people not only eat noodles, but also make folding fans with special substances. They will give the finished folding fans to people around them. Folding fans can not only bring cool and warm air to friends, but also give off fragrance from special substances in folding fans. This folding fan can dispel mosquitoes around and achieve the goal of safe summer.

Sometimes, we have to admire the wisdom of the ancients. Through long-term research, the ancients have long been familiar with the specific temperature and changing law of each solar term. 24 solar terms not only appears in the daily busy farming period, but also has 24 solar terms in the Beijing Winter Olympics. Since then, the world drama names have learned the 24 solar terms and further promoted Chinese culture. In addition, young people may not pay much attention to solar terms, but we still need to understand traditional solar terms and effectively avoid the disappearance of culture.
