"Suddenly the wind is warm, and it comes according to the small summer." Bamboo noise first feels the rain, the mountain darkness has heard the thunder", this poem by Tang Yuanshu's "Little Summer June Festival" describes the small summer in the twenty-four solar terms, that is, the fifth solar term of summer, and its arrival means that the hot summer officially begins.
Summer means hot, and small summer refers to small heat, which means that the weather is beginning to be hot, but it is not yet the hottest. Folk have the saying that "small summer, steaming and cooking", the weather will become more and more hot and humid. In southern China, there are droughts in the east and floods in the west, and the stormy weather is often accompanied by hot summer, and the crops have entered the stage of growth and growth.
In the past, people had many customs on the day of the summer, such as "eating new food", "drying clothes" and so on. No matter what the weather is behind, we should make up for the diet when the summer comes, eat more bitter, salty and cool food, eat according to the season, and smoothly and smoothly pass the day.
