What are the taboos during the summer solstice?

Avoid thunderstorms
A folk proverb says: "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." Among the folks, especially farmers, the most feared thing is thunderstorm on the Summer Solstice. Because for farmers who depend on the weather for their livelihood, whether it is drought or hot summer weather, it will affect the harvest of crops.
Therefore, thunderstorms are taboo during the summer solstice.
Avoid shaving or haircut
According to "Qing Jia Lu", "The summer solstice is the intersection of the time, the sun time, the second time, and the last time are called the 'three times'. People should be careful in their daily life, refrain from cursing, and avoid shaving their heads. There are many taboos..." This means that on the summer solstice people should get up and go to bed on time, not tell lies or curse, and not shave their heads.
People believe that getting a haircut on the summer solstice will lead to financial loss. Therefore, it is taboo to shave your head or get a haircut during the summer solstice.
Avoid eating raw or cold food at night
The summer solstice has arrived, which means the weather is getting hotter and hotter. At this time, everyone prefers raw and cold food. Some people with weak constitution or the elderly may easily suffer from abdominal bloating, vomiting and diarrhea if they eat raw or cold food.
Avoid taking cold showers
The weather is hot during the summer solstice, and many people like to turn on the air conditioner and take cold showers, but they don’t know that this can easily cause symptoms such as cold hands and feet and calf cramps. Because the sweat glands of the human body are in an open state at this time, the cold air can easily invade the human body and cause damage to the yang energy. Even when taking a bath with hot water, you should be careful to avoid wind after bathing, especially for children.
