Why do we eat eggs on the beginning of summer?

There are two main explanations for eating eggs at the beginning of summer.
1. There is a custom of "egg fighting" on the day of the Beginning of Summer. On this day, children will soak boiled eggs (with intact shells) in cold water, then put them in a net bag woven with colorful silk or wool threads and hang it around their necks.
If you meet other children who have eggs, you can play the egg fighting game together. Each person holds an egg, the pointed part is the head, and the round part is the tail. The egg heads hit each other, and the egg tails hit each other, one by one. The one whose eggshell is broken loses, and then the loser has to eat the egg. The one whose egg is still intact is the winner.
2. The ancients believed that round eggs symbolize a fulfilling life, and eating eggs on the Beginning of Summer can help you pray for a peaceful summer. There is also a saying that "If you eat eggs on the Beginning of Summer, you won't suffer from summer fever in hot weather", so many places have the custom of eating "Beginning of Summer eggs".
Because summer comes after the Beginning of Summer and the temperature gradually rises, some old, young and weak people are prone to symptoms such as loss of appetite, fatigue, irritability and qi deficiency, which is called "summer sickness". Eggs, as a simple and readily available nutritional supplement, can be used to "tonic" the body in advance to prevent summer heatstroke. According to traditional Chinese medical theory, it is good to nourish the heart in summer. People believe that "the heart is like a stag egg", so eating eggs when summer comes can help "support the heart".

What does summer heat mean?

Summer sickness, also known as summer bitterness, is a common disease in summer. Patients suffer from abdominal distension, anorexia, fatigue and weight loss. Children are particularly susceptible to summer sickness.
Summer sickness is mainly caused by the hot weather and physical weakness, that is, it is caused by physical weakness and repeated exposure to the hot weather. In summer, the heat from the sky is pressing down, the ground is steaming up, and the body is too damp and hot, so the spleen, stomach, heart and lungs cannot adapt and adjust for a while. In addition, the summer climate is hot, and people sweat a lot. Sweat takes away a lot of water and salt, causing the body's electrolytes to lose balance. The secretion of gastric juice and gastric acid also decreases, which will affect appetite and digestion.
