Today's summer is the last solar term in summer. "Going out" means stopping and hiding, which means the end of the hot summer. As an exchange in summer and autumn, summer vacation has its unique significance. Going out to welcome autumn, putting on lights and opening fishing festivals are all traditional activities in midsummer. Moreover, the weather has appeared such phenomena as "autumn tiger" and "thunderstorm" that only exist at this time of the year. China divided the customs of the 24 solar terms very carefully. Besides weather phenomena and traditional activities, the most important thing is "eating". The Chinese nation's food culture has a long history, and each solar term will be celebrated by eating different foods. So that before a solar term, most people will ask the classic line: "What to eat today?" Then, we look here-duck meat, sweet and sour lotus root, pomegranate, longan, white meatballs, corn, herbal tea, sour plum soup and so on. All of them are "What to eat in summer?" Standard answer. In ancient China, due to the characteristics of small-scale peasant economy, a year was divided according to 24 solar terms, which was convenient for farming, and the "agricultural proverb" was passed down from generation to generation. The agricultural proverb in summer is: Summer is like a tiger in autumn. It's not hot in summer, but hot at noon. Hot cooked grain, solid grain barrel. In summer rain, every grain is rice. Rain in early summer, rice in the barn. If it doesn't rain in summer, even if it bears fruit, it is difficult to protect rice. Long summer three days, rice (late rice) pregnant, cold dew to rice.

In summer, sorghum will cut all the sickles. Summer sorghum Bailu Valley. Cut the Yellow Valley for three days in summer. Busy mowing the grain on the first 10 day in summer. ..... It is catchy to read and easy to remember, which is the wisdom of the ancients. Of course, ancient poets who love literature and culture will not fall behind. Poetry about the summer heat has also been passed down to this day. Such as: "Two Poems on the Yangtze River" (Song) Su Su spent three days in summer, and Xin Liang went straight to Jin. Baishi is more secular, and the grass prints Zen. Let the crane dance and listen to the intermittent singing.
