"There are three nine in cold, and there are three ambusions." In July, when people talked about the weather, it seemed that there was only one keyword left- "hot". After the solar terms, the weather was hot for one day, and in the "Sanfu Sky", it opened the model of "steaming and cooking".

When it comes to the "Sanfu Sky" with a damp and long stuffy and humid and long, it is estimated that most people will change their faces, thinking of the hot and aggressive summer heat. On July 16th, the "first volume" in Sanfu Tianzhong came with high temperatures. Next is the "three volts" for 40 days.

"It is the time when the sky, the weather is as hot as soup"

"San Fu" is a collective name of the beginning, middle, and the end. Sanfu Tian usually appears between the heat of the solar terms and the summer heat, which is the highest and humid and sultry period of the year. You know, the time when you enter the year is not fixed, and the length of the midfish is different.

According to the traditional calculation method, the third Geng Day after the summer solstice is the beginning of the beginning, the fourth Geng Day is the beginning of the middle, and the first Gengri after the autumn is the beginning of the end of the Geng Day. And because each Geng Day is separated by 10 days, the time specified in the beginning and end of the volume is 10 days, and the long time is long and short. It may be 10 days, or it may be 20 days. In 2022, the mid -voltage time was 20 days, and the entire "three volts" had 40 days.

Sanfu Tian is the highest and humid and sultry period in the middle of the year. In the poems left by many ancient Wenhao, you can see the description of the hot three -volt. For example, Liu Yuxi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote that "the gold has been three volts, and Mars is flowing west." At the same time, in Bai Juyi's writing, I also wrote "it is the time of the time, the weather is as hot as the soup".

"Summer solstice San Geng counts the head" to eat a good way to go over

It is difficult to suffer in summer. People are easy to feel weak and tired, and they will lose their appetite and do not think about their diet. Because of this, at the beginning of the long bitter summer, naturally you have to eat a good one to survive the hot summer heat. "The head of the dumplings of the head, the two -volt pancake stalls of the egg", from the spread of the folk proverbs, can see that in the summer, people like to eat pasta.

It is reported that since ancient times, the folk summer soil has customs such as "eating dumplings" and "fried noodles". Dumplings are delicious foods in traditional customs. The ancient book "Wei Shi Spring and Autumn" contains: "Fushen soup cakes, scalpel sweat, look bright", the soup cake here is hot soup noodles. "Jing Chu Shi Ji" during the Northern and Southern Dynasties also wrote: "In June, the day cakes were eaten with soup cakes, named to dispel evil." In the eyes of the ancients, sweating can drive disease, that is, "dispel evil."

At the same time, ancient folks had the custom of "eating new", that is, after the summer heat, it tasted new rice. After the farmers crush the new rice into rice, make a good meal for worship the Great Grand Gods and ancestors, and then everyone eats new wine. In addition, the folk has the food custom of eating crickets in summer. The ingredients clear the heat, which is very suitable for hot summer to eat. The Song Dynasty writer Tao Yan wrote in the poem "Yongyu": "It is cool to the king, guessing melon."

Even if the weather is hot, in ancient times, people also paid attention to "hot heat", paying attention to eating some warm ingredients to make up for a large number of weak bodies after sweating. As a result, ginger, drinking tea, and eating sheep ... The diet of "hot heat" is more favored by the ancients. Eating warm ingredients such as mutton and ginger has become the choice of "three volt sky". There is a saying in folk saying "eating radish in winter and eating ginger", and people think that eating ginger can help to emit the heat of the body. The custom of "eating Sheep" has been inherited for thousands of years in Xuzhou, Jiangsu, and Xiaoxian County, Anhui also has the custom of "Fa Yang Ban".

"Little summer, three points in a day." Xiaoshu has passed, but after that, it is a hotter summer heat. Although the time is still long, as long as you have been under the "three volts" of the seemingly infinite summer heat, the cool autumn day is near you.
