前面我們已經(jīng)學(xué)了大暑的兩個(gè)習(xí)俗。

接下來小編給大家講講大暑的其他習(xí)俗吧。

3.斗蛐蛐兒

Cricket fighting

斗蟋蟀亦稱“秋興”、“斗促織”、“斗蛐蛐”。用蟋蟀相斗取樂的娛樂活動(dòng),每年秋末舉行。

斗蟋的壽命僅為百日左右,這就將斗蟋蟀的季節(jié)限定在了秋季。

而在古代漢字中,“秋”這個(gè)字正是蟋蟀的象形。蟋蟀體形雄而矯健。

蟋蟀相斗,要挑重量與大小差不多的,用蒸熟后特制的日菣草或馬尾鬃引斗,

讓他們互吹較量,幾經(jīng)交鋒,敗的退卻,勝的張翅長鳴。

Major Heat is a season with the largest number of crickets that can be found in the fields along the countryside. Cricket fighting is a popular pastime for some people in China during this period.

大暑是鄉(xiāng)村田野蟋蟀最多的季節(jié),中國有些地區(qū)的人們茶余飯后有以斗蟋蟀為樂的風(fēng)俗。


The custom dates back more than 1,000 years to the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907).

這個(gè)習(xí)俗最早可追溯到一千年前唐代(公元 618-907)的時(shí)候。

4.福建莆田:吃荔枝和米糟

Eating litchi and mizao

邑人宋比玉的《荔枝食譜》中載:“采摘荔枝要含露采摘,并浸在冷泉中,食時(shí)最好盛在白色的瓷盆上,

紅白相映,更能襯出荔枝色彩的嬌艷;晚間,浴罷,新月照人,是吠荔枝的最好時(shí)間。”

?

On the day of Major Heat, there is a custom of eating litchi, Mizao in Putian, Fujian province, as a celebration of Major Heat.

福建莆田在大暑時(shí)節(jié)有吃荔枝和米糟的習(xí)俗,叫做“過大暑”。

?

Litchi is a nutritious fruit containing glucose and vitamins. People usually soak litchi in cold well water first and eat it. It is said that litchi during Major Heat is as nourishing as ginseng.

荔枝含有葡萄糖和多種維生素,有豐富的營養(yǎng)價(jià)值。人們吃荔枝前,通常先將其浸泡在冰涼的井水之中。據(jù)說大暑吃荔枝,其營養(yǎng)價(jià)值和吃人參一樣高。

?

Mizao is made of fermented rice. On the day of Major Heat, people cook them with brown sugar. It can reinforce the vital energy of the human body.

米糟是將米飯拌和白米曲讓它發(fā)酵,透熟成糟。大暑那天,人們把米糟加些紅糖煮食,據(jù)說可以“大補(bǔ)元?dú)狻薄?
