What do people eat during the Beginning of Summer in different places? What's the difference
The Beginning of Summer can be said to be one of the solar terms with a relatively long history in my country. The customs and eating habits that have been passed down have also become somewhat different due to the vast territory of my country. So let’s take a look at what differences there are in the diet during the Beginning of Summer in several places. The third month of the lunar calendar is the last month of spring and it is also a time full of vitality. If you want to know more about the third month of the lunar calendar in 2018, please pay attention to our Fortune Teller website!What do people eat during the beginning of summer?1. Suzhou There is a local proverb in Suzhou that "three new things happen at the beginning of summer". The "three new things" refer to newly ripe cherries, green plums and wheat. People first offer these "three new things" to their ancestors, and then let the living taste them. In Su customs, people also eat sea snails, gluten, white bamboo shoots, shepherd's purse, salted duck eggs and green broad beans at the beginning of summer. 2. Changshu: There is a saying that Lixia in Changshu should include "nine meat dishes and thirteen vegetarian dishes". The "nine meats" refer to shad, anchovy, salted fish, salted eggs, sea snails, elk duck, pickled fish, braised shrimp, cherry meat and pomfret.

Zhejiang There is a folk song in Zhejiang that goes "Green plum summer cakes and cherries, cured meat, river fish, and black rice cakes. Amaranth, sea snails, salted duck eggs, roast goose, broad beans, and fermented rice lees." It includes the food that Zhejiang people eat during the Beginning of Summer. 4. Changsha: Farmers in Changsha believe that it should rain on the day of the Beginning of Summer, otherwise there will be drought in summer and autumn. An agricultural proverb says: "If it doesn't rain at the beginning of summer, hang up the plow and harrow"; if it doesn't rain at the beginning of summer, cook shrimps and fine fish in the same pot. 5. Wuxi: The most popular dish among the people of Wuxi is the three fresh delicacies. In some places, there is a custom of eating moldy tofu on the beginning of summer, saying that eating moldy tofu will bring good luck. 6.
