In Suzhou, people drink "Qijia Tea" during the Beginning of Summer Festival, and children eat "cat and dog food". At the same time, eat more jelly, sour plum soup, and take ice cubes. Watermelon and bitter melon are both foods that clear away heat and relieve summer heat, and are important delicacies during the summer solstice. In addition, mosquitoes multiply in summer, there is a lot of rain, and it is easy to get intestinal diseases such as dysentery. Therefore, there is a custom of eating green onions and garlic in the summer diet. Ming Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" believes that garlic has the effect of "opening the five internal organs, reaching all orifices, removing cold and dampness, avoiding evil, reducing swelling and pain, and dissolving lumps and meat accumulations." In addition, enjoying the summer in the pavilion is also an activity for people to prevent heatstroke in midsummer. What traditional foods are eaten in different regions during the summer solstice?Beijing: Dumplings at the Winter Solstice and Noodles at the Summer Solstice"Dumplings on the Winter Solstice and noodles on the Summer Solstice", Beijingers love eating noodles on the Summer Solstice. As folk customs return, all food related to the summer solstice festival sells well. According to old Beijing customs, people would feast on raw vegetables and cold noodles during the summer solstice, because the weather is hot at this time and eating raw and cold food can reduce internal heat and stimulate appetite without damaging health due to the coldness. Lingnan region: Eat the dog on the summer solstice, and the west wind will take a detour Eating dog meat and lychees during the summer solstice is a "patent" of people in the Lingnan area who want to eat it under the name of borrowing. People in the Cantonese-speaking areas of Guangzhou and Qinzhou, Yulin and other areas of Guangxi also like to eat dog meat and lychees during the summer solstice. It is said that dog meat and lychees are not hot when eaten together on the Summer Solstice. There is a saying that "fish is eaten on the Winter Solstice and dog is eaten on the Summer Solstice". Therefore, the custom of eating dog meat and lychees on the Summer Solstice continues to this day. Shandong: People usually eat cold noodles, commonly known as "Guo Shui Mian" On the day of the Summer Solstice, people in all parts of Shandong Province generally eat cold noodles, commonly known as "guoshui noodles". In Laiyang, new wheat is offered on the day of the Summer Solstice, while in Huangxian (now Longkou City), new wheat grains are boiled and eaten. Children use wheat straw to weave an exquisite small strainer and scoop the soup into their mouths again and again. It is not only a way to eat the wheat grains, but also a game, which is very interesting in the life of farmers. Shaoxing, Zhejiang: Eating Yuanhujiao on the Summer Solstice makes the stones creak when stepped on The summer solstice has the longest daylight, so there is a saying in Shaoxing, China: "If you want to have fun, you should have fun on the summer solstice." In the old days, people, regardless of their wealth, would offer sacrifices to their ancestors on the summer solstice, commonly known as "Summer Solstice". In addition to the regular offerings, a plate of Pu Si cakes is added. At that time, the summer harvest was completed and the new wheat was on the market. Because there was a custom of eating noodles on this day to taste the new wheat, the proverb goes "Eat wontons at the Winter Solstice and noodles at the Summer Solstice". There is also wheat paste cake, which is made by mixing wheat flour into paste, spreading it into thin pancakes and baking it, which also represents the meaning of trying something new. Wuxi, Jiangsu: Summer Solstice wontons and winter solstice dumplings, family reunion and health all year round On the day of the summer solstice, people in Wuxi eat oatmeal porridge in the morning and wontons at noon, which symbolizes chaos and harmony. There is a proverb that goes: "Eat wontons at the summer solstice and dumplings at the winter solstice, and the family will be reunited in all seasons." After eating wontons, I weighed my child, hoping that he would gain weight in a healthier way. The new year of 2019 has already begun. Will you be able to find your soulmate this year?
