Beginning of Summer 立夏
When spring is over, the summer begins. Chinese ancestors found the regular rule and they treated the fifth or sixth of May as the Beginning of Summer. From that day, the weather will become hot and most people start to wash their winter clothes. Beginning of Summer is not an official day that will be celebrated by the public. It is just a sign to show the coming of hot weather, so as to let people pay attention to keep away from hot weather. The old people trend to make some food to keep their body from getting hot, while the young people don’t have much action, and they just get used to it, or when they feel bad, they will take a break. Our body changes with the weather, so we need to make some changes to stay healthy. |
