Today is the summer solstice. The summer solstice during the fifth month of the lunar calendar every year is the longest day of the year. In the Zhou Dynasty, there were rituals to worship gods, believing that they could eliminate epidemics, famine years and people's hunger in the country.
The custom of eating cold noodles on the Summer Solstice Festival is a custom of the Han nationality. Qing Dynasty Pan Rongbi's "Ji Sheng in the Year of the Emperor's Capital":"On this day, the furniture at home ate cold and washed noodles, even if it is said that the water is on the water...
The saying goes: 'Winter solstice wonton summer solstice noodles.'"
Historical records show that my country has had the custom of celebrating the Summer Solstice since the Han Dynasty. Although there are differences in food customs during the summer solstice in various places,"eating noodles" is common. For example, Beijing's "Toufu Dumplings, Erfu Noodles, Sanfu Pancakes and Egg Scrambled", Shandong's "Crossing the Water", Guangdong's "Winter Solstice Wonton and Summer Solstice Noodles", Hubei's "Bao Noodles", etc., each has its own characteristics.
