《月令七十二候集解》
“立夏，四月节。
立字解见春。
夏，假也。
物至此时皆假大也。”
The Explanation of the
Seventy-Two Seasons of the Moon:
“Beginning of Summer, April Festival.
Beginning of the character means spring.
Summer is also a holiday.
Everything is fake until this time.
立夏是农历二十四节气中的第7个节气，夏季的第一个节气，表示孟夏时节的正式开始更是；太阳到达黄经45度时交立夏节气。斗指东南，维为立夏，万物至此皆长大，故名立夏也。
The beginning of summer is the seventh solar term among the twenty-four solar terms in the lunar calendar, and the first solar term of summer signifies the official beginning of the Mengxia season; When the sun reaches 45 degrees in the yellow meridian, it intersects with the summer solar term. Dou refers to the southeast, Wei is the beginning of summer, and all things grow up here, hence the name Lixia.
在天文学上，立夏表示即将告别春天，是夏天的开始。人们习惯上都把立夏当作是温度明显升高，炎暑将临，雷雨增多，农作物进入旺季生长的一个重要节气。
In astronomy, Lixia indicates that spring is about to bid farewell and is the beginning of summer. People habitually regard the beginning of summer as an important solar term for a significant increase in temperature, approaching scorching heat, increasing thunderstorms, and entering the peak season for crop growth.
实际上，若按气候学的标准，日平均气温稳定升达22度以上为夏季开始，“立夏”前后，我国只有福州到南岭一线以南地区是真正的“绿树浓阴夏日长，楼台倒影入池塘”的夏季，而东北和西北的部分地区这时则刚刚进入春季，全国大部分地区平均气温在18——20℃上下，正是“百般红紫斗芳菲”的仲春和暮春季节。进入了五月，很多地方槐花也正开。立夏时节，万物繁茂。
In fact, if according to climatology standards, the daily average temperature rises steadily above 22 degrees, it is the beginning of summer.Before and after, only the area south of the line from Fuzhou to the Nanling Mountain in China was the real summer of “thick overcast trees with long summer days, and the buildings reflected into the pond”, while some areas in the northeast and northwest had just entered spring by that time, and the average temperature in most areas of the country was around 18-20 ℃, which was the mid-spring and late-spring season of “all kinds of red and purple comparatively beautiful”. Entering May, many places are also experiencing locus blossoms. In the beginning of summer, everything flourishes.
在古代，人们非常重视立夏的礼俗。在立夏的这一天，古代帝王要率文武百官到京城南郊去迎夏，举行迎夏仪式。君臣一律穿朱色礼服，配朱色玉佩，连马匹、车旗都要朱红色的，以表达对丰收的祈求和美好的愿望。而今天，关于立夏的各种习俗仍在延续……
In ancient times, people attached great importance to the etiquette and traditions of the beginning of summer. On the day of the beginning of summer, ancient emperors would lead various officials, civil and military, to the southern suburbs of the capital to welcome summer and hold a welcoming ceremony. Jun and Chen are all dressed in vermilion robes, paired with vermilion jade pendants, and even horses and car flags are required to be vermilion red to express their prayers for a bountiful harvest and beautiful wishes. Today, various traditions related to the beginning of summer continues.
在民间，有“立夏吃蛋，石头踩烂”的说法，意思是立夏吃蛋，人就会劲头足。
In the folk culture, there is a saying that “if you eat eggs at the beginning of summer, the stones will rot”, which means that if you eat eggs at the beginning of summer, people will be full of energy.
立夏吃罢中饭，有秤人的习俗。古诗云：“立夏秤人轻重数，秤悬梁上笑喧闺。”人们挂起一杆大木秤，秤钩悬一根凳子，大家轮流坐到凳子上面秤人。
After eating lunch in the beginning of summer, there is a tradition of weighing people. As the ancient poem goes, “In the beginning of summer, weigh the weight of a person, and the beams of the scales make laughter and noise.” People hang a large wooden scale, hang a stool with a hook, and take turns sitting on the stool to weigh people.
根据当地史料记载，我国古时每年“立夏”节气，民间形成了吃粥、挂蛋等习俗。民间传说立夏这天喝立夏粥可保一年平平安安、无病无灾。
According to local historical records, in ancient China, the custom of eating Congee and hanging eggs was formed among the people during the “Beginning of Summer” solar term. It is said that drinking Congee at the beginning of summer can ensure a year of peace, health and disaster.
立夏这一天，按照中国人的传统习俗，要变着花样吃各种饭，乌米饭、豌豆糯米饭……主料都是最最平常的米饭，但因为加进了各种时令的料，变换出不同的颜色。
On the day of the beginning of summer, according to traditional Chinese customs, various types of rice are eaten in different ways, such as black rice, glutinous rice with peas… The main ingredients are the most ordinary rice, but due to the addition of various seasonal ingredients, different colors are changed.
很多地方有“立夏尝鲜”之俗。人们品尝时令食物，以求健康吉祥。
Many places have the custom of “tasting fresh food at the beginning of summer”. People taste seasonal food for well being.
立夏季节，福州风俗流行煮鼎边“做夏”。鼎边糊(又称锅边糊)，用米浆涮锅边烧煮而成，配以虾米、虾油、葱菜、金针、黑木耳、蚬子，或少量香菇、蛏干等海鲜清汤，其味极为荤美可口。
During the beginning of summer, Fuzhou has a popular tradition of cooking tripods by the edge to make summer. Dingbian paste (also known as Guobian paste) is made by boiling rice slurry in a pot, accompanied by shrimp, shrimp oil, scallions, golden needles, black fungus, clams, or a small amount of seafood clear soup such as mushrooms and razor clams. Its taste is extremely meaty and delicious.
我国北方多种植小麦，立夏正是小麦上场时节，因此北方大部分地区立夏时有制作与食用面食的习俗，意在庆祝小麦丰收。立夏的面食主要有夏饼、面饼和春卷三种。
In northern China, wheat is often planted, and the beginning of summer is the season when wheat enters the market. Therefore, in most northern regions, there is a tradition of making and eating pasta during the beginning of summer, aimed at celebrating a bumper wheat harvest. There are three kinds of wheaten food at the beginning of summer, namely, summer cake, flour cake and Spring rolls.
我国江西、扬州等地有立夏饮茶的习俗。夏天酷暑炎热，经常喝茶，尤其是偏凉性的绿茶，可以让暑气顿消，起到清热解暑、利尿排毒的作用。
There is a tradition of drinking tea at the beginning of summer in places such as Jiangxi and Yangzhou in China. In the scorching heat of summer, drinking tea regularly, especially cool green tea, can help dissipate the heat and play a role in clearing heat, relieving heat, diuresis, and detoxification.
古代，人们非常重视立夏。还有习俗说立夏日不迎夏，会有病灾缠身。
In ancient times, people attached great importance to the beginning of summer. There is also a tradition that says that if summer is not welcomed, there will be illnesses and disasters lingering around.
立夏养生要注意预防感冒，避免因为各种原因受凉，其中多喝水无疑是最好的保健方法。此外立夏之后天气急剧上升，也勿因贪图过分凉快而猛吹空调或风扇，否则极易招来热感冒。
In summer health preservation, attention should be paid to preventing colds and avoiding getting cold due to various reasons, among which drinking plenty of water is undoubtedly the best health care method. In addition, if the weather rises sharply after the beginning of summer, do not blow the air conditioning or fan too hard for the sake of being too cool, otherwise it can easily cause a hot cold.
立夏以后天气转热，人们易感到烦躁不安，出现心神不宁。立夏养生要做到“戒躁戒怒”，切忌大喜大怒，要保持情志开怀、心情舒畅、安闲自乐。此外，还可多做偏静的文体活动，如绘画、钓鱼、书法、下棋、养花等。人们要格外重视精神的调养，加强对心脏的保养。
After the beginning of summer, the weather turns hot, and people tend to feel restless and restless. To maintain a healthy summer, it is necessary to “avoid irritability and anger”, avoid excessive joy and anger, and maintain a cheerful and happy mood. In addition, you can also engage in quieter cultural and sports activities, such as painting, fishing, calligraphy, playing chess, and raising flowers. People should pay special attention to mental health and strengthen the maintenance of the heart.
立夏之后昼长夜短，人们的睡眠时间也会随着天亮了而变得越来越早，这时候很多人就会出现睡眠不足的症状。人们晚睡早起，睡眠往往不足，再经过一上午的忙碌，体力和精力的消耗都比较大。因此中医提倡夏季午睡，可以起到“加油站”作用，促进身体健康、减少疾患发生。
After the beginning of summer, the days are long and the nights are short, and people’s sleep time will become earlier and earlier as the day breaks. At this time, many people will experience symptoms of insufficient sleep. People go to bed late and wake up early, often lacking sleep. After a busy morning, their physical and energy consumption is relatively high. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine advocates summer nap, which can serve as a “gas station”, promote physical health, and reduce the occurrence of diseases.

《四月十三日立夏呈安这》
宋·司马光
留春春不住，昨夜的然归。
欢趣何妨少，闲游勿怪稀。
林莺欣有吒，丛蝶怅无依。
窗下忘怀客，高眠正掩扉。
《On the 13th of April,
the summer brings peace》
Song Dynasty, Sima Guang
I can’t stay in spring,
but I returned last night.
Why not have less fun?
Don’t be strange and sparse
when wandering.
Lin Yingxin has a Zha,
while Cong Die feels lost and helpless.
Under the window,
I forget my guest,
and high sleep is closing my door.
”
明·蔡汝楠
蜀江云里唤钩釐，
几片残花万树稠。
未换征衣逢入夏，
一年春事在行舟。
Before Leaving the Gorge forSummer
Ming · Cai Runan
In the clouds of the Shu River,
there is a call for the hook,
A few scattered flowers and ten thousand trees thicken.
Every summer without
changing the uniform,
In the spring of the year,
one goes boating.
《立夏》
宋·陆游
赤帜插城扉，东君整驾归。
泥新巢燕闹，花尽蜜蜂稀。
槐柳阴初密，帘栊暑尚微。
日斜汤沐罢，熟练试单衣。
The Beginning of Summer
Song · Lu You
The red flag is inserted into the city gate, and the eastern ruler is driving back.
The new nest of mud is bustling with swallows, and the flowers
are sparse with bees.
The locust willows are
initially dense in shade,
and the curtain is long
and the summer is still slight.
Let’s take a dip in the sun and become proficient in trying on singles.
告别春天
拥抱夏天
让我们快乐一“夏”
Farewell to Spring
Embrace Summer
Let’s Have a Happy Summer
