“The Beginning of Summer” (May 5, 2020), the seventh of the 24 solar terms, is the first solar term in summer. It means we say farewell to spring, and hello to the beginning of the summer, when everything grows very fast.

In the rotation of the 24 solar terms, the rules of the four seasons’ changes are clear. Chinese traditional culture can be better inherited, which inspires children's patience to observe nature and the ability to discover the beauty of nature. Newton encourages children, while experiencing the changes of the natural world in the solar terms, can further understand the spread of Chinese traditional culture in the form of games.

What customs do you know people would do on the beginning of summer?

Chinese people stress eating according to the season, and have the custom of eating eggs at “the beginning of Summer”. The round eggs symbolize the perfection of life. By eating eggs on the day, people pray for their family to be safe in summer.

Besides eating, you can also play.

The old saying goes "Hanging egg on the chest, children do not have spasm." Children can put the egg into a colorful woven egg case and hang it on their chest, so as to wish the healthy growth of children in summer.

If you meet someone who is also hanging an egg, you can play an egg game. Hit the egg against another one. If one egg breaks, he will need to eat it. If your egg can remain unbroken after fighting with three eggs, you win the title of "egg king". Ms. Zhang gives us a tip that duck eggs will be stronger.
