[传统文化]Lixia, or Start of Summer, is the seventh of the 24 Chinese solar terms. It stands for the passing from spring to summer.
In summer, plants and crops will begin to grow much faster. So farmers are always happy to welcome the arrival of Lixia. This is the best time of the year to plant early rice in the southern part of China. Chinese has plenty of old sayings that are used to warn(提醒) people not to be lazy during this special time.
In China, people celebrate the day of Lixia in different ways. For example, in some
