It is said that eating them can prevent summer heatstroke and weight loss. The shape of the Lixia cake is similar to the current fermented glutinous rice cake. A long time ago, the Lixia cake was made of malt, with white sugar filling and some red and green silk added in it. The Lixia cakes made now are actually the kind of puff pastry cakes with fillings, usually red bean paste or various fruits. They have a crispy and fragrant taste, and four or five are wrapped into a tube. During the Beginning of Summer, people give such traditional foods to their relatives and friends to express their best wishes. The gift may be small but the sentiment is profound. What to eat on the Beginning of Summer: Bamboo Shoot Rice . The Bamboo Rice Festival is also called Bamboo Shoot Rice. During the period from Grain Rain to the Beginning of Summer when bamboo shoots grow, the Dong people pick spotted bamboo shoots, stuff glutinous rice into the bamboo shoot tubes and cook them for consumption. This not only preserves the original flavor of the rice, but also has the fragrance of bamboo shoots, and it is also convenient to carry to the fields for consumption. Over time, the Dong people would celebrate the Bamboo Rice Festival during the farming season between spring and summer, slaughtering pigs and sheep to sacrifice to their ancestors, singing and dancing, and praying for a good harvest. What to eat on the Beginning of Summer: Beginning of Summer eggs. Folk saying: "Eat eggs on the Beginning of Summer and you won’t suffer from heatstroke in hot weather." The beginning of summer usually occurs in the fourth month of the lunar calendar, and this year it falls on May 5th. On the day of the Beginning of Summer, people cook tea eggs and eat salted duck eggs. Why do we eat eggs on the beginning of summer? One theory is that the ancients believed that round eggs symbolize a fulfilling life, and eating eggs on the Beginning of Summer can help one pray for a peaceful summer. Another way of saying it is that eating eggs at the beginning of summer is called "summer tonic", which prevents people from becoming thinner and losing weight in the summer, and makes them more energetic and able to work with strength. What to eat on the Beginning of Summer: Lixia Guo , also known as Lixia Kueh, is a kind of Kueh and Glutinous Rice Balls eaten on the Beginning of Summer Festival. The rice is steamed, mashed and made into small balls, and then cooked into a soup with bean sprouts, dried tofu, shrimp skin, peas and other ingredients. The cooked Lixia cake is delicious and fragrant, with the aroma of rice, smooth and not greasy. According to legend, eating "Lixia Bao" means bidding farewell to spring and welcoming summer, and celebrating the spring harvest. Many vegetables, fruits and melons are on the market. All that can be added will be added to the "Lixia Bao". The more varieties there are, the more abundant the spring harvest and the more joy there is. What to eat on the Beginning of Summer: Rice Gluten Cake Rice Gluten Cake, also known as rice gluten fruit or rice paste fruit, is a special snack eaten on the Beginning of Summer in Shangrao, Jiangxi Province. In Shangrao, there is not only the custom of eating glutinous rice cakes during the Beginning of Summer, but also an interesting game of weighing people. It is said that the Beginning of Summer can make people strong and healthy and support the midsummer. In addition, Shangrao people often say "you can only gamble on strength, not food". At the beginning of summer, young and middle-aged people will eat rice and bran cakes and then meet up with their friends to do one-on-one activities such as arm wrestling or squeezing shoulder poles to see who has more strength. What to eat on the Beginning of Summer: black rice, "Summer cakes, river fish, black rice cakes, sour plums, broad beans and cherries, bacon, roast goose, salted duck eggs, sea lion, amaranth and fermented rice dregs." This well-known folk song talks about the custom of eating black rice on the Beginning of Summer, which is generally popular in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas.
