Have you ever seen two children having a dry fight with eggs? This is a kind of Chinese traditional culture and custom-the Beginning of Summer fighting for eggs. Why do you fight for eggs? You may not know.

The ancients believed that summer was the root cause of all diseases, because of the hot weather in summer and the breeding of mosquitoes. At that time, due to the limitation of medical conditions, many people would get sick in summer. The ancients felt that they needed to replenish the body at the beginning of summer, especially when children could resist foreign diseases, and eggs were undoubtedly the most common food supplement.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the best way to eat eggs is to boil eggs in plain water, which will not lose nutrition. But children generally like to eat flavored eggs and are not interested in boiled egg. So, on the Beginning of Summer's day, the ancients used games to make children eat boiled eggs.

The day before the Beginning of Summer, parents prepared a small egg bag woven with red rope, soaked the boiled eggs in cold water and put them into the bag. The shells should be intact, and then let the children fight with each other with eggs. Whoever broke the shell of the egg would eat it. The children thought it was very interesting, so they ate boiled egg, which they did not like.

The inheritance of national culture and customs is not only written, but it is easier to pass on interesting things like this kind of life, don't you think?

Welcome to discuss the customs of the Beginning of Summer in your hometown.
