Characteristics of climate change during the summer heat.

During the hot summer, the climate changes little and the temperature is still high. As the poem says, "The sky is boiling, watching the rain and wind, and occasionally getting a thunderstorm and rainbow". There is always a lotus pond with the same color and taste. "(Heshui Zuo) The average temperature in southern China is generally around 33℃ in the light summer season; In the low-altitude valley area of southeastern South China, the average daily temperature in mid-July is higher than 30℃, and the maximum daily temperature is higher than 35℃.

The custom of hot summer

Eat dumplings

There is a folk saying that "buckwheat can grow on radish head and buckwheat can grow on feet" and "buckwheat can grow on jiaozi head and eggs can be spread on pancake feet". Eating jiaozi on the head is a traditional custom. Fukui people have poor appetite and are often thinner than usual, which is called bitter summer. In traditional customs, jiaozi is a food to stimulate appetite.

Shi Xin

It is said that "eating new things" means "eating new things", which is the first new day after the "light summer" festival. Generally, buy a small amount of new rice and cook it with old rice, and add the newly listed vegetables, so there is a saying that "millet is eaten in summer and grain is eaten in summer".

Eat three treasures

"Little summer heat, steaming on the top and cooking on the bottom", and the arrival of "Little summer heat" means that it is about to enter the dog days. In this season, there is the custom of eating three treasures-Monopterus albus, honey lotus root and mung bean sprouts.

sunbath

In summer, people also have the custom of drying pictures, calligraphy and clothes. There is a saying in the folk proverb: "On June 6th, people dry their clothes.". Before and after the summer heat, the sunshine time is the longest, so every household will choose this day to "bask in the sun" and hang the clothes stored in the cupboard outside to receive the sun exposure to remove moisture, humidity, mildew and moths.
