What is the saying about the Summer Solstice?

1. It is taboo to get a haircut or shave during the summer solstice. According to the "Qing Jia Lu", "The summer solstice is the intersection of the time, the first time, the second time and the last time, which are called the 'three times'. People should be careful in their daily life, refrain from cursing, and avoid getting a haircut. There are many taboos." The custom of not shaving on the Summer Solstice originated in the Qing Dynasty. It is said that not only should people get up and go to bed on time and not lie or swear on this day, but also that shaving one's head or getting a haircut on this day will affect one's fortune.
2. People fear thunderstorms most on the Summer Solstice. An old saying goes, "If there is thunder on the Summer Solstice, there will be drought in June. If there is rain on the Summer Solstice, there will be heatwaves in the dog days." For farmers, the most feared thing is thunderstorms on the Summer Solstice, because both drought and heatwaves will affect the harvest of crops. Therefore, in ancient times, people were superstitious about thunder and rain on the summer solstice.
3. Eating wontons on the Summer Solstice : A proverb goes, "Eat wontons on the Summer Solstice and dumplings on the Winter Solstice, and the family will be reunited and healthy all year round." In the Jiangnan region, eating wontons is a must on the Summer Solstice. It is said that eating wontons can make the summer less bitter and help you spend a healthy life. Another saying is that eating wontons during the summer solstice makes people smarter and gives them the ability to create the world. And after eating wontons, adults will weigh the children, hoping that the children will gain weight and be healthier.
4. Summer Solstice noodles are indispensable. On the summer solstice, the day is the longest and the yang energy is at its peak. There is a Chinese saying that goes "Dumplings on the Winter Solstice and noodles on the Summer Solstice", which refers to the two indispensable foods during the Winter Solstice and Summer Solstice: dumplings and noodles. In ancient times when worshiping gods during the summer solstice was very popular, people had to eat pasta to show their respect to the gods.
