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.

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".

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.
