According to the climate laws of the Chinese lunar calendar, our ancestors had long ago stipulated that "the third Geng day after the summer solstice is the first Fu (first Fu), the fourth Geng day is the middle Fu (second Fu), and the first Geng day after the beginning of autumn is the last Fu (summer Fu). The first and last Fu are ten days each, the middle Fu is ten or twenty days, and the summer Fu is thirty or forty days in total.
Therefore, according to the lunar calendar, the hottest days of 2019 are from July 12 to August 20, a total of 40 days.

The bioalkali contained in bitter foods has pharmacological effects such as relieving heat, promoting blood circulation, and dilating blood vessels. They are natural health products for the hottest days of summer.
2. “Eating Immortal Grass”:
Grass jelly, also known as jelly grass and fairy grass, is an herbaceous plant of the genus Grass jelly in the family Lamiaceae and is an important plant resource for both medicinal and edible purposes. Because of its magical effect of relieving heat, it is known as "immortal grass". The stems and leaves can be dried and made into grass jelly, which is called jelly in Guangdong and is a summer dessert.
3. Eat fresh lychees:
Lychees contain glucose and multiple vitamins and are rich in nutritional value. First, soak the fresh lychees in cold well water, and then take them out and taste them when the Great Heat arrives. Eating lychees at this moment is the most comfortable and nourishing. Therefore, some people say that eating lychees during the Great Heat has the same nutritional value as eating ginseng.
