Namely eel, lotus root and mung bean sprouts.

What are the traditional foods to eat during the Xiaoshu solar term: 1. Eat the Three Treasures.

"Small heat and big heat, steam up and boil down." The arrival of minor heat means that the dog days of summer are about to enter.

At this time, the weather is hot, and the human body sweats a lot and consumes a lot of energy. In health care, we must pay attention to replenishing physical strength, antipyretic and preventing heatstroke.

Folks have the custom of eating three treasures during this season - eel, honey lotus root and mung bean sprouts.

2. Eat dumplings.

Folk proverbs in Futian include "If you put radish on the head and vegetables on the other side, you can also grow buckwheat on the third day of the month."

It is a traditional custom to eat dumplings on the first day of the summer. People lose their appetite and tend to be thinner than usual on the first day of the summer. It is commonly known as the bitter summer. In traditional customs, dumplings are an appetizing food.

3. Face down.

The custom of eating noodles on Furi dates back to at least the Three Kingdoms period.

"Wei's Spring and Autumn Annals": "Soup cakes during the solar eclipse, take a towel to wipe the sweat, and your face will look bright and clear." The soup cakes here are hot soup noodles.

"The Chronicles of Jingchu" says: "Soup cakes with a solar eclipse in June are called to ward off evil." May is the evil month, and June is also on the edge of the evil month, so it should also be "to ward off evil."

You can also eat water noodles and fried noodles in Futian.

4. Eat mutton.

People in Xuzhou eat mutton in Fu, which is called "eating Fu Yang". This custom can be traced back to the Yao and Shun periods. There is a folk saying that "a bowl of soup from Fu Yang in Pengcheng does not require a prescription from a miracle doctor."

Xuzhou people’s favorite thing about eating Fuyang is the local folk song “Pick up the girl on June 6th and make new wheat cakes and mutton soup”.

5. Eat new foods.

In the past, there was a folk custom of "eating new rice" during Xiaoshu, that is, after Xiaoshu, farmers would grind the newly cut rice into rice, prepare rice to offer sacrifices to the Grain God and ancestors, and then everyone would eat and taste the new wine.
