Enjoy the beautiful time! Stand Summer is the seventh lunar month of the twenty-four solar terms in Chinese culture. It is the first day of summer and represents the formal beginning of the warmest season of the year. The sun reaches a latitude of 45 degrees on this day, symbolizing the arrival of summer. As the weather warms up, people often associate Stand Summer with increased humidity, heatwaves, and rainy days. In Chinese culture, Stand Summer is considered a time for relaxation and rejuvenation. With the start of summer comes a range of dietary recommendations to help maintain physical health and well-being during the hot season. The ideal summer diet should focus on replenishing fluids, clearing heat and fire, nurturing the digestive system, avoiding cold and spicy foods, and stimulating saliva to prevent thirst.
