On the second day, jiaozi is easy to eat Qiao Mai; on the second day, jiaozi stands for grain Man Cang; on the second day, it stands for relief and long-term; on the third day, it stands for the joy of autumn harvest.

Jiaozi is a traditional food in China. People in China eat jiaozi on New Year's Eve, jiaozi on New Year's Eve, jiaozi in the middle of autumn, jiaozi on Mid-Autumn Festival and jiaozi on the solstice in winter. Eating jiaozi in summer is because it is too hot, and people tend to lose appetite and lose weight because of lack of nutrition. Eating jiaozi can not only stimulate appetite, but also supplement nutrition.

After the summer solstice, the days are getting shorter and shorter. Yin Qi radiation and the afterglow of the sun suppress Yin Qi, and the weather is extremely sultry. "In summer, the third watch is scolded". Geng belongs to gold, and Geng day is taboo. Jiaozi is shaped like an ingot, which belongs to gold. Jin Bao is long and squatting, and "squatting" is homophonic with "blessing". Therefore, to eat jiaozi on the head is to dispel Yin Qi, and "Yuanbao is blessed".

People often say that "March 9 is cold and it is hot in dog days", but how is the date of "dog days" determined? "Three volts" is the expression of the hottest period in a year in China's old calendar. It is divided into initial (head volt), intermediate (two volts) and final (three volts). According to the ancient calendar of China, it is now determined that the first day of the first autumn is the third Geng day from summer to the future; The first day of the Mid-Autumn Festival is the fourth Geng Day from summer to the future; The last day is the first watch after beginning of autumn.
