Why do we eat mutton during the Great Heat?

The reason for eating mutton during the Great Heat
When suffering from hot weather, people would like to think of something cooler as possible to cool down. However, during the hottest season of the year, when the human body consumes the most nutrients, eating mutton can also have health-promoting effects.
Eating a lot of hot food on the day of Great Heat is the highlight of the festival for people in Putian. On the day of the Great Heat Festival, there is a custom of eating lychees, mutton and rice troughs, which is called "Guo Dashu" and is the most classic combination.
The Origin of Eating Mutton During the Great Heat
It is understood that the habit of eating mutton is related to local farming and climate. In the past, Zaozhuang was a famous wheat-producing area. The beginning of the dog days was when the wheat harvest was over and the new wheat was put on the market. It was a short farming off-season and people wanted to take a break at this time.
The only delicious food available in the countryside at that time was some new wheat steamed buns. Some families are so cruel as to kill a sheep. He couldn't bear to eat it himself, so he brought his married daughter back home to eat new wheat buns and drink mutton soup. Over time, the custom of drinking Fuyang was formed.
The benefits of eating mutton during the Great Heat
According to health preservation, although the weather is hot during the Great Heat period, the human body is easily invaded by heat, dampness and evil. Nutritionists have also conducted in-depth research on this, and the results show that mutton is most nutritious when eaten during the dog days of summer.
During the dog days of summer, heat accumulates in the human body. If you drink mutton soup and chili oil, vinegar and garlic at this time, you will sweat profusely all over. This sweat can take away the accumulated heat in the five internal organs and expel toxins from the body, which is extremely beneficial to your health.
