What is the best drink from summer solstice to the first day?

Is there any custom in Fu? It's better to eat noodles in rainy days. There is a saying in the north that "jiaozi lies on his head and pancakes stand on his feet". The custom of eating noodles on Furi Festival began at least in the Three Kingdoms period. According to Wei's Spring and Autumn Annals, "Lie in the sun, wipe your sweat with a towel and look at Jiao Ran" makes people realize that white skin is white, not covered with powder. The "soup cake" here is hot soup noodles. Why eat hot noodles on a hot day? In the Southern Dynasties, Liang Zonggu said in the record of Jingchu Chunqiu:

"June eclipse soup cake, named evil."

May is an evil month, and June also touches the edge of the evil month, so it should also be "evil". This is superstition. Grinding new wheat into flour and cooking soup will make you sweat. The new grain is rich in nutrition, and sweating can drive away diseases. It is scientific to eat soup cakes in June.

In dog days, you can drink water besides hot noodle soup. Cooked noodles are cooked in cold water, mixed with garlic paste and watered with halogen seeds, which not only stimulates appetite, but also "defeats the heart".

Welfare can also eat "fried noodles". The so-called fried noodles are fried and cooked in a pot, and then mixed with water and sugar to eat. This way of eating has existed since the Han Dynasty. It was more common in the Tang and Song Dynasties, but at that time, the wheat was cooked first, and then the pasta was ground. Su Gong, a medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty, said that fried noodles can "clear away heat and stop diarrhea and strengthen the intestines".

It is a traditional custom to eat jiaozi on the head, because when it rains, people have a bad appetite and can't eat anything, while jiaozi is a food that stimulates and satisfies the appetite in the traditional customs of China people.

dog days

"crouching" means being forced to hide underground, which is the hottest season in a year.

Starting from the summer, according to the arrangement of dry and branch days, the third Geng Day is the first month. The fourth Geng Day was in the middle, and the first Geng Day after beginning of autumn was the last. The word "Geng" on Geng Day is the seventh word in ten days of "A, B, C, D, E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren and Gui", and Geng Day is repeated every ten days.

The start and end time of the dog days is different every year, roughly from mid-July to mid-August. How exactly is it worked out? China's popular "Ganzhi Diri method" records dates with 60 groups of different names, and each day with the word Gengzi is called Gengri.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, there was a popular saying that "the five elements are mutually reinforcing". People think that the hottest day in summer belongs to fire, while Geng belongs to gold. Gold is afraid of being melted by fire, so on Geng Day, gold will be hidden. Therefore, it is stipulated that from summer to the third Geng day in the future, it is the initial lodging (with 10 day), and from summer to the fourth Geng day in the future, it is the intermediate lodging (with 10 day in some years and 20 days in some years), and the first Geng day after beginning of autumn is the final lodging, also known as the final lodging (with 10 day).

When there are four Geng days between summer solstice and the beginning of autumn, the middle part is 65,438+00 days, and when there are five Geng days, the middle part is 20 days. So sometimes it is ten days from the middle to the end, sometimes it is twenty days, and both "head" and "tail" are 65,438+00 days.

In the China lunar calendar, "Nine" is a habitual miscellaneous festival, including "Nine in Winter" and "Nine in Summer". Among them, "Winter 99" is widely spread. It starts from the winter solstice, and every nine days is a nine. Eighty-one days a year. March 9 and April 9 are the coldest seasons of the year.

"Summer 99" starts from the summer solstice, every nine days is September 19th, and there are nine September * * * eighty-one days in a year. Similarly, March 9 and April 9 are the hottest seasons of the year. In sharp contrast to Winter 99, it is a pity that it is not widely circulated. In fact, Summer of 1999 does vividly reflect the relationship between date and phenology. For example, on the elm beam in the main hall of a Wang Yu temple in Laohe City, Hubei Province recently, 99 songs from summer solstice were written, which can best reflect the climate characteristics of most parts of China. Its full text is:

Summer solstice into the top nine, feather fan in hand;

In 29 18, I took off my crown and put on a scarf;

On March 27, I went out to sweat;

Four, nine, thirty-six, open-air rolling seats;

In 5945, autumn was like a tiger;

6954, enter the temple to enjoy the cool;

7963, touching the sheets at the bedside;

8972, looking for a quilt in the middle of the night;

998 1, open the cupboard to get cotton-padded clothes.
