Solar terms and customs
On the day of the Beginning of Summer, ancient emperors would lead all civil and military officials to the southern suburbs of the capital to welcome the summer and hold a summer welcoming ceremony. Both monarchs and ministers wear vermilion formal attires and vermilion jade pendants. Even the horses and carriage flags must be vermilion to express their prayers for a good harvest and good wishes. In the palace, "it was the beginning of summer and the ice was given to ministers of civil and military affairs." The ice was stored in the previous winter and given to officials by the emperor.
In Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, people feel sad about cherishing the spring because the beautiful spring has passed, so they prepare wine and food for fun, as if they are sending people away, which is called farewell to spring. Cui Xiang said in his poem: "The first thing to welcome summer is the end of spring."
