No one outside the door asked about the falling flowers,
Green shade is rising all over the world.
The forest warbler cried into silence,
Grass pond solo listening frogs.
LiXia
Today is summer. At this point, spring is over, and the shade of green trees gradually replaces the flowers. At this time, "heaven and earth begin to intersect, all things are beautiful", wheat is filled with flowers, rapeseed is close to maturity, no matter north or south, nature quietly announces: "spring life" is over, "summer is long" coming.
Chinese has always attached great importance to Lixia. In ancient times, the emperor had the tradition of "welcoming the summer", and the folk had the custom of "weighing", all of which prayed for the peaceful summer. On this day, the literati prepare wine and dishes to "practice" for the spring to leave. After all, compared with the harmony of the spring breeze, summer always makes people feel the "bitter summer" of the scorching sun.
However, instead of cherishing the spring, it is better to welcome the summer, and the poet Qin Guan has found another way to give a new poem to the early summer, saying this--"Fang Fei Xie should hate it, and the yin and yin of Xia Mu are lovely." ”
Three summers
Li Xia waited for the "sound of the grasshoppers", sensed the grasshoppers of Xia Yi, and could not stop running to tell each other. LiXia waited for the second "earthworm out", the earthworm who lived deep underground and ended hibernating at the latest, picked a good day, and this was lazy and slow in people's vision. Sanhou "king melon", although it is said to be king melon, but generally refers to vines, from flowers, flowers and grasses, to branches and vines, from the green marks in early spring to the shade in early summer.
Lixia "Scale Man"
What is quite interesting about Lixia is the custom of "weighing people". "Lixia weighs people light and heavy, and laughs and noise on the scale overhang beam", the ancients took turns weighing on this day, watching the scale people loudly count and add auspicious words. For example, the old man of the scale will say, "The scale costs eighty-seven, and lives to ninety-one." The girl sat up and said, "One hundred and five pounds, and outsiders will come to the door." Under the scorching heat, sweating heavily, it is a good time to lose weight. Go to Liqiu and weigh again to see how much weight you have lost after the bitter summer.
LiXia exorcised
The ancients said: "April is the beginning of summer, the order of the qi is clear, and the day is long and the people are tired." "As the day goes on, people get tired, and this is just the beginning, a long summer, a hard work, sweating, and loss of appetite, it is difficult to sleep." Therefore, it is easy to suffer from "boils zhù summer". At this time, we must pay attention to adjusting the way of living and the rhythm of life, lie down at night and get up early, practice lunch break in the morning, keep our minds at ease, and pay attention to avoiding impatience and anger. Diet, avoid spicy, less greedy, eat more fruits, vegetables, grains and potatoes light food.
