First, eat jiaozi's "Yuan Bao Fu Bao"

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 the first time to stipulate from long summer to the third Geng Day in the future; From midsummer to the fourth Geng day in the future, it is medium; After beginning of autumn, the first Geng Day is the last day, also known as the last day, and is usually called the third day.

Because jiaozi is shaped like an ingot and belongs to gold, "Fu" and "Fu" are homonyms, therefore, the homonym for eating jiaozi's head is "Yuanbao Fu".

Second, eat noodles "evil"

Southern dynasties? Liang Zonggu's Chronicle of Jingchu said: "The soup cake eaten in June is called evil." The ancients thought that the May of the lunar calendar was an evil month, and June was touched by the evil month, so it was necessary to "break".

Autumn is just after the wheat harvest. Grinding nutritious new wheat into flour to cook soup, sweating after eating can dispel the moisture and summer heat in the body, so it is scientific to eat hot noodles in dog days.

In dog days, you can not only drink hot noodle soup, but also drink water. 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".

Third, pancakes and eggs are sent to the dog days.

After the dog days in beginning of autumn, the weather began to get cold. At this time, if you eat "hot noodle soup" by sweating, it is easy to catch a cold. At this time, those hens who "rested" for twenty or thirty days also began to "work", just to provide people with some nutritious eggs. So for people in the past, it was delicious to eat pancakes and eggs in summer, and the dog days also meant to send them away.
