Why do you want to eat long summer porridge in long summer?

Eating long summer porridge in long summer means a year of peace, no disease and no disaster.

According to historical records, the custom of cooking long summer porridge began in Leiyang, Hunan Province in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Cooking long summer porridge pays attention to digging a hole on the spot at the end of the village street, installing a large iron pot and ordering porridge to make the smoke curl up, which is a veritable picnic.

With the development of society, the custom activities in the long summer, in addition to retaining the traditional activities in the long summer, such as eating porridge, hanging eggs, weighing children and hanging summer buns, have been given new significance of the times. The main content of the activity is to show the intangible cultural heritage at the city and district levels, such as Song Wudapu, Dragon and Lion Dance, Butterfly Beating and so on. At the same time, the academicians of Beijing Homesickness Painting and Calligraphy Institute splashed ink and wrote folk messages for the villagers, and the ingenious villagers also brought vivid paper-cut works for everyone.
