Eat lotus rootThere has always been a custom among the people to eat lotus roots during the Lesser Heat. Lotus roots have the effects of clearing away heat, nourishing blood and relieving restlessness. They are suitable for consumption in summer. Fresh lotus roots can be simmered over low heat, sliced and added with appropriate amount of honey. They can be eaten at will. They have the effect of calming the mind and promoting sleep, and can cure insomnia due to blood deficiency. 2. Drying paintings, calligraphy and clothes During the Lesser Heat season, people have the custom of drying paintings, calligraphy and clothes. There is a folk saying: "On June 6th, people dry their clothes and dragons dry their robes" and "On June 6th, every family dry red and green clothes." "Red and green" refers to all kinds of colorful clothes. This is the day with the highest temperature, longest sunshine time and strongest solar radiation in the year, so every household will choose this day to "dry the clothes" by hanging them outside in the sun to remove moisture, prevent mildew and moth damage. 3. Eat eels during the Lesser Heat Common saying: Yellow eel in Lesser Heat is better than ginseng. Yellow eels live in mud caves on water banks. Summer eels caught one month before and after the beginning of the summer heat are the most nutritious and delicious. Summer is often the remission period for diseases such as chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, and rheumatoid arthritis. The eel is warm in nature and sweet in taste, and has the effects of tonifying the middle and replenishing qi, nourishing the liver and spleen, eliminating rheumatism, and strengthening the muscles and bones. 4. Eat new food during the Lesser Heat The arrival of Lesser Heat means that hot summer weather is about to begin. In order to cope with the upcoming hot weather and express gratitude for the earliest round of grain harvest, Chinese society has gradually formed customs such as "eating new food" and "worshiping the god of grains" over thousands of years. "Eating new rice" means tasting new rice after the Lesser Heat. Farmers grind the newly harvested rice into rice, make rice and offer it to the grain god and ancestors to express their gratitude to nature and the ancestors. Then everyone tastes the new wine. It is said that "eating new" means "eating spicy food", and it is the first spicy day after the Lesser Heat Festival. People in cities usually buy a small amount of new rice and cook it together with old rice, and add newly-coming vegetables. Therefore, there is a saying among the people that millet should be eaten during the Lesser Heat and grain should be eaten during the Greater Heat. 5. Drink mutton soup People in the north drink mutton soup during the Lesser Heat and Greater Heat periods. First, it can nourish the body. Second, "mutton" and "yang" are homophones, and the ancients believed that more yang energy is lost in summer, so drinking mutton soup can increase yang energy.
