Time flies, unconsciously
Ushered in the first festival of summer - Lixia
At this time, everything is on display
The sky is getting longer, and Mengxia is beginning
It's the beginning of a new season again.
summer;······
"The grasshoppers sing, the earthworms come out, the king melons are born", the frogs begin to make noise about the arrival of this summer day in the summer, the earthworms are also busy helping the farmers to loosen the soil, and the wild vegetables in the countryside are also competing to sprout and grow day by day.
All year round, each has a different beauty. If spring is gentle, autumn is refreshing, and winter is idyllic, then summer is full of enthusiasm.
The summer breeze blows, carrying the last hint of spring laziness, and drapes the earth with a new green coat. Summer harvest crops into the late growth stage, winter wheat flowers grouting, rapeseed is close to maturity, summer harvest crops are basically determined, so the agricultural proverb has the saying of "standing summer and looking at summer".
Li Xia, "stand up"
Lixia eggs, thrown all over the street: In the folk, there is a saying that "Lixia eats eggs, and the stones are trampled", and when Lixia eats eggs, people will be energetic. The children hung egg sets made of silk thread around their necks, filled with hard-boiled eggs, duck eggs, and some also drew patterns on the eggs and competed with each other. As a kind of nutrition, eggs are used to prevent the "supplement" of summer heat in advance, which is a good choice, in order to match the children's mentality, eating and playing together.
Yingxia taste new: Jiangnan region has the custom of tasting "three new" in lixia, and the traditional "three new" is cherry, green plum and anchovy.
Lixia called people: Lixia also has the custom of calling people, people hang a large wooden scale at the entrance of the village or in the gate, and the scale hook hangs a stool, and everyone takes turns to sit on the stool. The scale man weighs flowers on the one hand and speaks auspicious words on the other.
Eating Lixia Rice: On this day, according to the traditional customs of Chinese. Five-colored beans such as red beans, soybeans, black beans, green beans, and mung beans are mixed with white japonica rice to cook into "five-color rice" and then evolved into glutinous rice cooked with bean meat, called "Lixia rice".
Turn around and meet Xia
A lot of people love summer.
Although it is sweaty, leaving the air-conditioned room is like losing half a life.
But think about it, that sweet watermelon, blue sky, noisy cicada chirping always seems to have an unfinished story, under the scorching sun, half is the surging vigorous vitality, half is lazy, slow and tired time.
It is true that the four seasons have their own beauty, but summer is the only warm scene, and the memories associated with it are always deep and strong.
The adolescent years run east and west in the summer sun, and the spring and adolescence are honestly spent in the autumn, and the prime-aged years are sent away together with the cold, and the spring turns into old age.
The watermelon is hung in the well with a rope, and in the afternoon it is dissected, and it goes down with a knife, and it clicks and sounds, and the cool air is overflowing, and even the eyes are cold.
The low-brow spring has passed, and the beginning of the summer is looking up
From today on, say goodbye to spring and officially enter summer.
Pack your thoughts and set off again, are you ready?
