Xiaoman searches for Qinghuanzhi and handcrafts sweet and refreshing drinks

The summer breeze gradually warms up, and the plants and trees are lush, small and perfect. At Xiaoman, all things in the world are thriving, hiding the perfect perfection and the unique poetry and joy of early summer.

During the Xiaoman season, there has been a folk custom of "eating bitterness to clear heat" since ancient times. Bitter melon is refreshing and reduces fire, while lemon is sweet and sour, refreshing and refreshing. The two blend perfectly with the way of nourishing the body during the solar term. During the activity, children from Qingpingguo Xiaolong Kindergarten in Gaoping District, Nanchong City, got to know fresh ingredients, perceived their color, aroma, and texture. Under the careful guidance of their teachers, they completed the steps of cleaning, cutting, pressing, and mixing in an orderly manner, and personally brewed their own cool summer tea drinks.

Children savor and experience the unique taste of bitterness before sweetness, not only practicing the traditional custom of Xiaoman eating bitterness, but also learning to cherish natural gifts, perceive the joy of labor, and immerse themselves in the profound heritage of traditional solar terms through hands-on practice.

One tea, one taste, one section, one growth. This Xiaoman solar term activity allows children to experience nature and hands-on practice, gain growth, encounter beauty, and fully enjoy the comfort and warmth of Xiaoman season. (Shen Yinghong)
