四、阅读理解
The traditional Chinese calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. In China, the 24 solar terms were created thousands of years ago to guide farming. But solar term culture is still useful today to guide people's lives through cultural activities.
Dashu, the 12th solar term of year, began this year on July 22 and ended on August 7. During dashu, most parts of China enter the hottest season of the year. Here is something you should know about dashu.
Dashu is a season of harvesting and planting. During this time, the sunshine, high temperatures, and heavy rainfall are good for the plants. But many natural disasters also happen. So, it's important to harvest and plant in time.
Sending the dashu ship is a tradition in Taizhou. The ship is full of all kinds of meat. More than 50 fishermen take turns carrying the ship as they walk through the streets. The ship will finally be pulled out of the port and burned at sea. People do it for the wish of good harvests and health.
Dashu is a season with most crickets (蟋蟀) in the countryside. Cricket fighting is popular for some people in China during this period. The tradition dates back over 1000 years ago.
People in different places enjoy different food. For example, in southern Shandong, people would like to have mutton soup. Grass jelly (仙草) is very popular in Guangdong because there is a saying "Eating grass jelly in dashu will make you stay young."
