1. "Spring rain shocks the spring and clears the valley. Summer is full of awns and summer heat is connected. Autumn is exposed, autumn is cold and frost falls, winter is snowy and winter is cold..." I believe everyone knows the twenty-four solar terms! The twenty-four solar terms refer to the 24 specific seasons in the Ganzhi calendar (solar calendar) that represent seasonal changes. It is one of my country's five great inventions.
2. Do you know what my favorite solar term is? Let me tell you! It's "the beginning of summer". What is the reason? Let me tell you slowly.
3. Hanging eggs, eating eggs, and fighting eggs. As the saying goes: "If you eat eggs at the beginning of summer, the summer will not be hot." It is said that Nuwa Empress told the people to hang goose eggs on the chests of children at the beginning of summer. Or eggs, duck eggs, can prevent children from getting sick in summer, so hanging eggs, eating eggs, and fighting eggs in the Beginning of Summer have been passed down to this day.
4. Beginning of summer rice is a custom in northern and southern my country and is eaten at the beginning of summer. However, different regions have different characteristics. In the south, five-color rice is mostly made from red beans, soybeans, black beans, green beans, mung beans and other five-color beans, also known as "Beginning of Summer Rice." Of course, there is also black rice...
5. Drunken Summer Wheat Cake. There is a saying in Taizhou: "Drunken Summer Wheat Cake, Bai Lu is the world's best." In Taizhou, Zuixia is also called Drunken Summer. People who don't know how to drink on this day can still drink. A little, or glutinous rice wine. People will eat wheat cakes, which are pancakes. When cooked, they can be rolled into various dishes. They are very delicious!
6. Look, there are so many delicacies in the Beginning of Summer, how can I not like it as a "snackie"?
