What food should we eat on the beginning of summer?

1. Beginning of Summer Eggs As the saying goes, "Eating eggs on the Beginning of Summer will prevent you from getting summer sickness in hot weather." This means that when summer comes and the temperature rises, children will feel tired and weak in their limbs, and their appetite will decrease and they will gradually become thin. This is called "summer sickness." However, if you feed children cooked chicken, duck, goose eggs, etc. on the day of the Beginning of Summer, you can avoid "summer sickness." Therefore, the custom of eating eggs on the Beginning of Summer has been passed down to this day. Later, people put eggs into the leftover Qijia tea and cooked them into tea eggs. 2. Glutinous rice is eaten for lunch. Peas are mixed in the rice. Boiled eggs, whole bamboo shoots, shelled peas and other special dishes are also served on the table. In the countryside, eggs are eaten in pairs, bamboo shoots are eaten in pairs, and peas are eaten in any number. According to folk legend, eating eggs on the Beginning of Summer can nourish the heart, because eggs are shaped like a heart, and people believe that eating eggs can protect the heart and spirit from being damaged in the hot summer. There is a Sheng proverb that says "wang sheng", which means that people's legs are as strong and powerful as spring bamboo shoots and can travel long distances, implying the use of leg support. The shelled peas are shaped like eyes. Eye diseases were common among the ancients. In order to eliminate them, people ate peas and prayed that their eyes would be as clear as fresh peas and free from disease and disaster throughout the year.
