The fang qiu mythology originated from the ancient ceremony of offering sacrifice to the earth at the Summer Solstice and reflects customs of love, marriage and child-birth in the ancient times.
Tomorrow will be the Summer Solstice.
In east China's Shandong Province, there is a traditional saying like this: "eat dumplings on the Winter Solstice and eat noodles on the Summer Solstice."
The days get shorter after the Summer Solstice.
