小暑习俗
Minor Heat Customs
民间相传农历六月六是龙宫晒龙袍的日子。小暑时节，梅雨季节刚过。这一天，人们都会不约而同“晒伏”，把久存箱柜里的衣服晾出来暴晒，以去潮去湿、防霉防蛀。
According to folk legend, the sixth day of the sixth lunar month is the day when the dragon robes are dried in the Dragon Palace. On this day, people will unanimously “bake in the sun” by airing the clothes in the long-storage cabinets to expose them.
民间有小暑“食新”习俗，人们将新割的稻谷碾成米做成饭，祭祀五谷大神和祖先，然后人人吃尝新酒。
There is a folk custom of ” new food ” during Minor Heat . People make rice, offering sacrifices to the five grain gods and ancestors, and then everyone eats and tastes the new wine.

Little summer fun
记忆中的夏日，有竹椅、有蒲扇，还有可口的西瓜、清爽的绿豆汤。
人们惧怕炎热，于是昼伏夜出。白天都待在房间里不出去，到了晚间，摇着扇子，出去纳凉。
During summer we can see bamboo chairs, fans; eat delicious watermelon and refreshing green bean soup.
People are afraid of the heat, so they go out at night. At night, we can shook our fans, go for a walk and enjoy the cool evening.
