sheep, as one of the earliest domestic animals successfully domesticated by human beings, people's contribution is prominent in food, clothing, housing and even sacrifice, and the most important thing is diet. The tradition of eating sheep has existed since ancient times. Our ancestors hunted wild sheep for food very early. After sheep were domesticated as livestock, they provided a stable food source for people. There is a record in "Zhou Li Tian Guan": "Lambs and dolphins travel in spring, and the food paste is fragrant"; The Book of Rites also records: "Mid-spring Moon" and "Eating Wheat and Sheep"; "The homology of medicine and food" is an important tradition of China's food culture. While our ancestors used sheep to meet the needs of their mouths and stomachs, they also constantly discovered the medicinal effects of mutton. Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor in the Eastern Han Dynasty, recorded in his Treatise on Febrile Diseases that "Danggui Mutton Ginger Decoction" can treat diseases such as blood deficiency and cold hernia; Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty said in Compendium of Materia Medica that "mutton is sweet and hot, but nontoxic. Eating fat is soft and beneficial to people, treating bones and muscles, and benefiting qi. " The effect of expelling wind and driving cold of mutton seems to be incompatible with the summer heat in dog days. In fact, it is hot and humid in summer, and people lose their appetite and accumulate heat in their bodies. Eating a bowl of spicy and delicious mutton at this time not only makes people's appetite increase, but also promotes people to sweat, heat up with heat, dispel dampness and toxin in their bodies, replenish deficiency and strengthen their health, which is very beneficial to improve people's physical fitness and disease resistance in high temperature days. Eating sheep on the "Fu Yang Festival" is not only the pursuit of the delicious taste of mutton itself, but also the full use of the medicinal efficacy of mutton. The custom of Fu Yang Festival
