Reading guide: As the saying goes: "Cold is in Sanjiu, hot is in Sanfu". Why does it feel so hot on dog days, because the southeast wind blows on dog days, and the water vapor evaporates relatively strongly, so it feels unusually hot. In the past, there were no air conditioners, popsicles and other foods to relieve the heat, so how did people spend their lives? In fact, the older generation mainly eats some food that is good for the body, and also resists the heat, because the Yellow Emperor Neijing says: "Don't eat from time to time, eat with the time", as long as you eat according to the season, the next days will be smooth. For example, the elderly in my family, every year when the ambush, will remind us: "4 things do not go to the table, blessing does not enter the door", these 4 things are the most important food to eat when the ambush, as long as you don't forget the old tradition, I believe everyone can smoothly get through the hot dog days.
First: dumplings
As the saying goes: "the head of the dumplings two noodles", after the ambush, the most important thing to eat is the dumplings, because the dumplings resemble ingots, and at the same time the "Fu" and "Fu" in the "Fu dumplings" are homophones, so the ambush to eat dumplings has the saying of "Yuan Treasure Fu", people who eat dumplings on this day will be very happy throughout the dog days. And the head of the dumplings, it is best to choose cabbage filling, cabbage and "Baicai" are homonyms, into the ambush to eat cabbage dumplings, the next days will be richer.
