What are the customs of the Summer Solstice?Summer Solstice Customs: Worshipping Gods and AncestorsThe summer solstice is the time of wheat harvest. Since ancient times, people have celebrated the harvest and worshipped their ancestors at this time to pray for the elimination of disasters and a good harvest. Therefore, the summer solstice was incorporated into the ancient rituals of worshiping gods as a festival. "The Book of Zhou: Spring Officials" states: "When the summer solstice comes, bring local animals and demons." In the Zhou Dynasty, offering sacrifices to gods at the summer solstice was meant to eliminate famine, hunger and death. The summer solstice falls after the wheat harvest, and farmers thank God for the good harvest and pray for "autumn rewards." Around the summer solstice, some places hold a grand "summer wheat harvest" ceremony, which is a remnant of the ancient "summer sacrifice" activity. Summer Solstice Customs: Eliminate Summer Heat and Avoid the Dog Days On the summer solstice, women give each other folding fans, cosmetics and other gifts. "Youyang Zazu·Liyi" says: "On the summer solstice, fans and powder bags are presented, and there are words for them." "Fan" is used to create wind; "powder and rouge" are used for application to disperse the turbid air generated by body heat and prevent prickly heat. In the imperial court, after the "summer solstice", the royal family would take out the ice that was "stored in winter for use in summer" to "cool off the summer heat and avoid the dog days". This practice began in the Zhou Dynasty and was followed by successive dynasties, eventually becoming an institutional practice.
