Three summers

In the eyes of the ancients

There are three iconic phenology of Lixia

Wait for the grasshoppers to chirp

This time of year

The caddisflies all arrived as promised

The sound is chirping

Report the news of summer to people

Second earthworm out

The rain is abundant and the atmosphere is hot and hot

Earthworms dig out of the earth

Attend this grand ceremony of life

The Third Waiting King Gua Sheng

The vines of the king melon climb and grow rapidly

Just wait for the fruits of midsummer

Tired of hanging branches

Lixia poetry

The beauty of early summer, the beauty is in the comfort and leisure

Yang Wanli of the Song Dynasty was like this

Describe life in early summer

Plums leave sour soft teeth, plantains divided into green and window screens.

Day long sleeps up and thinks ruthlessly, idly watching children catch willow flowers.

And in Lu You's pen

The beauty of summer, the feeling of beauty in the heart

The red banner was inserted into the city, and the Eastern Jun returned to the whole house.

Mud new nest swallows noisy, flowers are rare bees.

The willows are first dense, and the curtains are still faint.

Day oblique soup mu, skilled to try on single clothes.

In the summer, in the eyes of the literati and inkers, it is still like this

Li Xia remembers the brothers of the Kyoshi

Don Wei Yingwu

Change the order to read Fangchen, tired of the day forever.

The summer wood has become yin, and the public gate is constant and quiet.

The long wind began to drift, and the clouds were piled up before the mountains were thrown.

Sit and want to leave the people, but also be sorry for the scenery.

Early summer immediate

Song Wang Anshi

The stone beam hut has a curved pillar,

Running water splashed in Xipi.

Sunny day warm wind raw wheat gas,

When the green shade grass wins the flower.

Excerpt from Bodhisattva Man Palindrome

Song SuShi

Hand red ice bowl lotus, lotus bowl ice red hand.

Lang laughs at the lotus silk long, long silk lotus laughs at lang.

Legend of Lixia

Uchiha rice

With the arrival of summer, the custom in some places is to eat black rice. There are many legends about the origin of Uchiha. The most popular is the story of Sun Zhen during the Warring States period.

During the Warring States period, Sun Bin was persecuted and locked up in a pig house, and the old jailer used black leaves to cook black sticky rice, and then kneaded it into dirty rice balls and secretly gave it to Sun Bin to eat. Sun Bin not only survived by this method, but was still very healthy and eventually escaped from prison. The first time Sun Bing ate black rice was on the day of Lixia.

Hanging egg bags

In the Nantong area of Jiangsu Province, the summer is happy to hang eggs on the chest of children. Legend has it that the plague god was sleepy until he woke up on the day of the summer, and when he woke up, he spread the plague, and children were particularly affected. Nuwa smelled it and argued with the plague god. The plague god reluctantly agreed, with the egg hanging on his chest as a symbol, and on the day of the summer, all children who hung eggs on their chests would not be harmed. Although the legend is that there is no way to examine, but on the day of Lixia, the mothers of Nantong always have to choose larger goose eggs, duck eggs, and eggs, which are cooked and hung on the chest of their children, which is still popular to this day.
