Eating noodles during the Summer Solstice There is a custom of eating noodles during the Summer Solstice. In the Jiangnan area, eating noodles during the summer solstice is an important custom in many areas. There is a saying among the people that "after eating noodles during 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 and sesame oil cold noodles, while in the north there are noodles with gravy and noodles with soybean paste. This is probably because the new wheat has already appeared at the Summer Solstice, so eating noodles at the Summer Solstice also means trying something new.2. Eat "wheat palm" and "summer solstice cake" during the summer solstice The food customs in the south of the Yangtze River generally include wheat rice dumplings, glutinous rice dumplings, plums, wontons, and noodle soup. The "Wujiang County Chronicles" records: "On the summer solstice, wheat dumplings are made and given to each other after the sacrifice." People not only eat "wheat dumplings", but also give them as gifts to each other. On the summer solstice, farmers roll out dough to make pancakes, bake them, and fill them with vegetables, beans, tofu, and bacon. They are eaten after offering sacrifices to ancestors or given to relatives and friends. They are commonly known as "summer solstice pancakes." 3. Eat wontons on the Summer Solstice. On the Summer Solstice, people in Wuxi eat oatmeal porridge in the morning and wontons at noon, which means chaos and harmony. There is a saying that goes, "Eat wontons at the summer solstice and dumplings at the winter solstice, and the family will be reunited and healthy all year round." After eating wontons, weigh the children, hoping that they will gain weight and be healthier. What food is good to eat during the summer solstice?1. Eat "three-bean soup" during the summer solsticeEating "three-bean soup" during the summer solstice is a very good choice. The weather is hot and humid, with intermittent sunshine and rain, and high humidity. People are more susceptible to dampness. The dietary principles at this time should be light, less greasy, less sweets, and mainly warm food, not too cold. Drink some "three beans" at this time. "Three bean soup" refers to: mung beans, red beans and black beans. Mung beans: clear away heat, detoxify, relieve summer heat and quench thirst. Red beans: detoxify, remove dampness and prevent constipation. Black beans: nourish yin and strengthen the spleen, promote blood circulation and detoxify. 2. Eat bitter melon during the summer solstice Bitter foods are the natural enemies of fire. The reason why bitter foods are bitter is because they contain bitter substances such as alkaloids and urea. The best bitter food is bitter melon. No matter whether it is served cold, stir-fried or in soup, as long as the bitter melon is cooked well and retains its "green color", it can achieve the purpose of "removing heat". 3. You can eat duck meat during the summer solstice . Duck meat is cool in nature and rich in protein. And because it is a waterfowl, it can nourish the stomach, produce body fluids, and soften blood vessels whether it is cooked into porridge or soup. It is a rare cool and heat-relieving food among meats. In pursuit of cooling down and relieving the heat, many people eat too light a diet, resulting in insufficient protein intake and weak constitution. Will the weather get hotter after the summer solstice?Yes. After the summer solstice, although the sun's direct point begins to move gradually southward from the Tropic of Cancer and the days in the Northern Hemisphere begin to gradually shorten, the altitude of the sun at noon also begins to decrease day by day for the Tropic of Cancer and the areas to its north. However, the heat radiated by the sun to the ground is still greater than the heat dissipated by the ground to the air. Therefore, the temperature will continue to rise for a period of time in the future. Hence the saying "The summer solstice is not too hot unless it is too late." Although the summer solstice has the longest daylight hours, it is not the hottest time of the year.From ancient times to the present, everyone’s destiny is different.
