What are the customs of the Summer Solstice?Offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors <br /> The summer solstice is the time of wheat harvest. Since ancient times, people have celebrated the harvest and offered sacrifices to ancestors at this time to pray for disaster relief and a good harvest. Therefore, the summer solstice was incorporated into the ancient rituals of worshiping gods as a festival. Nowadays, some places still hold a grand "Summer Wheat Festival" around the summer solstice, which is a relic of the ancient "Summer Festival" activity.Eliminate the summer heat and avoid the dog days<br /> On the summer solstice, women give each other folding fans, cosmetics and other gifts. "Fan" is used to create wind; "powder and rouge" are used for application to disperse the turbid air generated by body heat and prevent prickly heat. In ancient times, in the imperial court, after the summer solstice, the royal family would take out the ice that was “stored in winter for use in summer” to “cool off the summer heat and avoid the dog days”. This practice began in the Zhou Dynasty and was followed by successive dynasties until it became an institutional system. Eat "wheat dumplings" and "summer solstice cakes" Jiangnan food customs. The "Wujiang County Chronicles" records: "On the summer solstice, wheat dumplings are made and given to each other after the sacrifice is completed." People not only eat "wheat dumplings", but also give them as gifts to each other. Farmers also roll dough into thin pancakes, bake them, and fill them with vegetables, beans, tofu, and bacon. They eat them after offering sacrifices to the ancestors or give them to relatives and friends. They are commonly called "Summer Solstice Pancakes." Wontons at the Winter Solstice and Noodles at the Summer Solstice <br /> Since ancient times, there has been a saying among the Chinese people that "Wontons at the Winter Solstice and Noodles at the Summer Solstice" and "After eating noodles at the Summer Solstice, the day will be one line shorter." There are many varieties of noodles in the south, such as Yangchun noodles, dry soup noodles, shredded pork noodles, three fresh noodles, Guoqiao noodles, sesame oil cold noodles, etc., while in the north there are noodles with gravy and noodles with soybean paste. "Because the new wheat has already arrived during the summer solstice, eating noodles during the summer solstice also means trying something new." |
