Different regions have different ideas about what to eat in summer. In the north, it has become a traditional custom to eat noodles and wrap jiaozi on your head in dog days. However, what southerners eat when they are asleep is not as uniform as that in the north, but different, just to name a few: Wonton Er Fu Tea in Shanghai, Ham Er Fu Chicken in Hangzhou, and Chicken Er Fu Duck in Nanchang. Hunan is adjacent to Jiangxi, and Fu Tou also eats chicken. Shanghainese usually like to eat big wonton, but they still eat big wonton when they are asleep, which shows their frugal folk customs. It makes sense for Hangzhou people to eat the famous Zhejiang Jinhua ham.

The principle of sleeping diet
When it comes to dog days, what people think most is: dog days, what to eat? There is an old saying: "jiaozi lies on his head and pancakes roll eggs on his feet." . Eating jiaozi, pancakes and noodles in dog days not only means the joy of abundant food after harvesting wheat in summer, but also reminds people that their diet in summer should not be too fragmentary, and they should always comfort themselves and eat more foods rich in protein and B vitamins. Because of the high temperature and sweating in summer, a lot of protein amino acids will be lost, as well as a lot of B vitamins and minerals such as potassium and sodium. Eating noodles is more conducive to supplementing nutrition. When it comes to what to eat, there are four main points: sour and sweet, invigorating qi and removing fire, fresh and clean, and replenishing water for health.
The more sour the sweeter.
Ancient scholars believed that "summer heat and dampness should be cleared and replenished". In hot summer, people like cold drinks and drink plenty of water, so that moisture invades the human body, while external moisture enters the body, making water wet and invigorating the spleen, lifting the spleen and stomach, causing digestive dysfunction, stagnant water and loss of appetite. According to the viewpoint of TCM health preservation, dryness and dampness in summer are very unfavorable to spleen, so it is appropriate to eat more sweet and cold or sweet and cold in daily diet. And in summer, you return to your heart, but your heart likes cold and wants to eat sour, so you should eat more sour in summer. Such as pineapple and watermelon.
Benefiting qi and reducing fire
The hot summer days not only bring us physical discomfort, but also easily lead to more and more people's anger rising, which is manifested as emotional irritability, anxiety, excitability, insomnia and so on. These symptoms are called "summer mood disorder" in medicine. Therefore, "removing fire" is also a compulsory course for summer food supplement. The best choice for summer food is bitter gourd, tomatoes and other cool fruits and vegetables. At the same time, milk is slightly cold, which can replenish water, nourish yin and reduce fever, and is also a good product for "dispelling fire". Dog meat and duck meat is the best way to make up for it in summer.
Fresh and clean
Chinese medicine believes that the stomach is the foundation of the day after tomorrow. In summer, people often feel loss of appetite, and the function of spleen and stomach is relatively slow. At this time, they might as well eat some fresh fruits and vegetables. The nutrients in fresh fruits and vegetables are generally half cellulose and half sugar, which can not only effectively supplement the necessary energy and water for human body, but also make people eat for a long time. Carrots, lemons and amaranth are the first choice. Eating more wild vegetables and fruits in season is of great benefit. But be careful not to eat cold or unclean food to avoid dysentery and diarrhea.
The custom of eating on the stomach
The "dog days" are the days with the highest temperature in a year, which is humid and sultry, and what people call "bitter summer" is at this time.
There is a proverb in dog days that "buckwheat can grow on radish" and "buckwheat can grow on jiaozi's head, and eggs can be spread on pancakes". Dog days are the days with the highest temperature, humidity and sultry weather in a year, and there are "dog days" in a year. It is at this time that the people say "bitter summer". When the wheat harvest is less than a month, every household is in Man Cang, and because every dog day, people are listless and lose appetite, and jiaozi is the best in traditional food to stimulate appetite, so people take this opportunity to have a rare sumptuous meal and eat white flour. jiaozi is a top grade that is hard to see at ordinary times, so there is a saying that "jiaozi lies on his head and pancakes spread eggs on his feet".
At least since the Three Kingdoms period, it has been a custom to eat pasta in rainy days. According to Wei Chunqiu, it is "lying in the sun, taking a towel to wipe the sweat and facing Jiao Ran". Only then did people know that fair skin is naturally white, not powdered. The "soup cake" here is hot soup noodles. Liang Zonggu of the Southern Dynasties wrote in the Chronicle of Jingchu Dream: "Soup cakes with an eclipse in June are evil." (Lunar calendar) May is an "evil month" (the weather is humid and sultry, mosquitoes breed and infectious diseases are prevalent), and June is also on the verge of an evil month, so it is also "evil". Of course this is superstition, but eating pasta in rainy days is really good for your health.
When it comes to lodging, it is also called "new wheat" when spring wheat is on the market. New wheat is ground into flour and eaten as hot noodle soup. After eating, you will sweat all over. Many "cold-damp-heat toxins" accumulated during the "bad month" (harmful substances produced by human body due to climatic reasons, such as summer-heat dampness toxins) can be excreted with sweat. At the same time, the new grain is rich in nutrition and can be used as a supplement.
In dog days, you can eat "boiled noodles" (that is, "cold noodles") in addition to hot noodles. Boil the cooked noodles with cold water (clear oil is used in the south), mix with garlic paste (to eliminate evil poison) and pour with marinade, which not only stimulates appetite, but also "defeats the heart".
And "fried noodles" (not fried noodles). Stir-fry the flour until it is dry, add water and sugar. This way of eating has existed since the Han Dynasty. It was popular in the Tang and Song Dynasties, but at that time, wheat was fried first, and then pasta was ground. Su Gong, a medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty, said that fried noodles can "clear away heat, stop diarrhea and strengthen the intestines."
In a word, eating pasta in dog days is good for your health.
