Analysis: midsummer is a seasonal solar term, but it is actually midsummer. In ancient times, it was divided into Meng, Zhong and Ji. One of these three months is the hottest time in summer. At this time, many fruits and vegetables are ripe.
Custom: In midsummer, every household should cook some eggs, duck eggs or goose eggs, soak them in cold water, put them in woven bags and hang them around the children's necks. The children nearby get together in small groups to play egg-beating games. Eggs have two ends, the pointed one is the head and the round one is the tail.
When you beat eggs, the head of the egg hits the head of the egg and the tail of the egg hits the tail of the egg. One by one, the loser gave up and finally separated the high and low. He who doesn't break the head of an egg is the first, called the king, and he who doesn't break the tail of an egg is the second, called the second king or Xiao Wang. This kind of competition is called beating eggs.
