Lixia means the coming of summer, but the real hot timecomes from Xiaoshu. Xiaoshu, the 11th solar term beforeDashu, starts this year on July 7th and finishes after 15 days.The weather gets hot but not very hot in Xiaoshu. The following are some thingsyou must know about Xiaoshu.
Chinese people in old times enjoyed playing the game of Go(围棋) indoors to spend these hot summer months. Outdoor activities like fishing and keeping fireflies were popular for children in ancient China. There was a student in Jin Dynasty(朝代).He was so poor that he couldn't buy any lamp oil(油灯),so he had the idea to store fireflies in a bag for his nighttime study. People also used jasmine flowers(茉莉)to make their bodies and rooms smell(闻)good.
To cool down the body,people usually drink green bean(绿豆)soup or lotus roots(莲藕) soup.The eel(黄鳝) is a must-have food too. Eating eels around Xiaoshu is helpful to the health.
Are you ready to welcome Xiaoshu?
