老外聊节气|二十四节气之立夏

大家好，我是杜兰，我们又见面啦！今天一起聊聊夏天里的第一个节气——立夏。

这位24节气家族里的“夏日队长”，带着38℃的热情和甜酸多汁的水果走来。立夏一到，树叶从“清新绿”变成“深墨绿”；水稻秧苗在田间开启“疯长模式”；王瓜藤蔓也开始两倍速攀爬。

立夏的“仪式感”不能少，青梅煮酒、斗蛋玄学、五色饭“三件套”都安排上。在这里，提醒一下“朋克养生”党，立夏后，15分钟午休能让你满血复活，酸梅汤比冰美式更防脱发。

朋友们，你们准备好迎接这个热辣滚烫的夏天了吗？

Hi everyone, I’m Duran — great to see you again! Today, let’s talk about the first solar term of summer: Lixia.

Known as the "Captain Summer" among the 24 Solar Terms, Lixia arrives with 38°C enthusiasm and a bounty of juicy, sweet-and-sour fruits. Once it begins, leaves shift from fresh green to deep emerald, rice seedlings kick into hyper-growth mode in the fields, and snakegourd vines start climbing at double speed.

Of course, you can’t have Lixia without a little ritual-sipping plum wine, egg-fighting games, and colorful five- hued rice-the full trio is ready to go. And a quick tip for the “punk wellness” fans out there: after Lixia, a 15-minute power nap can totally recharge you, and a chilled sour plum drink is way better than an iced Americano when it comes to fighting hair loss.

Alright friends! Ready to dive into this sizzling, vibrant summer?
