li Xia–The beginning of summer

     The seventh of China’s 24 solar terms, or the start of summer, normally occurs around May 5th on the Gregorian calendar.

     With temperatures gradually rising and nature taking center stage, it officially ushers in summer. Everything enters a phase of intense growth and reproduction at the start of the summer.

     To adjust to temperature variations during this time, people should also be mindful of their diet and lifestyle choices. For instance, to maintain physical health, eat more foods that are light and simple to digest while simultaneously paying attention to heatstroke prevention and cooling.

     In addition, in Chinese traditional culture, the beginning of summer is also an important solar term, according to which people will carry out different customs and celebrations, such as flower appreciation, ancestor worship, eating new Rice dumplings, etc.
