立夏，是二十四节气中的第7个节气，时间在每年公历5月05-07日。立夏后，日照增加，逐渐升温，雷雨增多，农作物进入茁壮成长阶段。

在这个时刻，可以写一封介绍中国传统节气的回访信给国外的客户，用一种非商业的口吻拉近彼此的距离, 下面就分享一些跟立夏有关的英语素材~

01 立夏用英语怎么说

中国的 24 节气中的“立春、立夏、立秋、立冬”，英语大多称为Start of Spring/Summer/Autumn/Winter，也就是，四个季节的“开始”。英语中的“开始”这个概念，除了称为start、还可以用beginning来表示。把节气中的“立”称为start，似乎主要是追求形态上的简洁，所以选择了5个字母的start, 而不是9个字母的beginning。

02 立夏的由来

立夏始于每年格列高里历（即阳历）的5月5日前后。太阳黄经达45°，立夏标志着季节的转换，是农历夏季开始的日子。此时，我国大部分地区气温明显升高，农作物进入生长旺季。

The Start of Summer usually begins around May 5 in the Gregorian calendar. It marks the transition of seasons and is the day when summer starts in lunar calendar. During that time, the temperature in most places in China has an obvious increase. It is the best time for grains and crops to grow.

在周朝，帝王会率领群臣举行迎夏仪式，并激励他的子民们抓住关键时期干农活。据说庆典仪式多以朱色装饰，帝王和文武百官着朱色礼服，戴朱色玉佩，乘朱色马匹，举朱色旗帜，恭敬虔诚，向夏神祈求丰收。

In the Zhou Dynasty (1050-221 BC), the emperor led his officials to stage a welcome rite for the Start of Summer and encouraged his residents to seize the key time to do farm work. It’s said that most of the decorations were arranged in the color red, including the emperor and the officials’ dress, the jade pendants, the horses and the flags, in order to show respect to the god of summer and pray for a good harvest.

03 立夏趣味习俗

在古代中国，人们相信圆圆的鸡蛋象征着幸福的生活。立夏吃鸡蛋是一种对健康、幸福的祈愿。人们把用剩的茶叶和鸡蛋放在一起煮熟，这就做出了最初的“茶叶蛋”。后来人们改进了烹调方式，加入香料使鸡蛋更加美味。如今茶叶蛋已成为中国的一种传统小吃。鸡蛋也是一种有趣的装饰。立夏节气，家长会准备一个小编织袋，把鸡蛋装进去挂在孩子胸前，以求保佑孩子身体健康。

They put leftover tea into boiled water together with eggs and the original “tea egg” was created. Later people improved cooking methods and added spices to the eggs to make them taste delicious. Today tea egg has become a traditional snack in China. Egg is also something interesting at the Start of Summer. The parents will prepare a bag, put the egg into it, and then hang the bag on their child’s chest to bless the child with health.

在学校里，孩子们聚在一起玩“斗蛋”游戏，即用自己的蛋与他人的蛋碰撞，蛋没破即取得胜利.

When at school, children gather together to play egg competitions by colliding each other’s eggs in pairs and the one whose egg is not broken wins.

这天，人们会挂起一杆大秤，秤钩悬上一条凳子，老人和孩子们轮流坐上去称重。司秤人一面打秤花，一面说吉祥话。

After lunch on the day of Start of Summer, people would suspend a stool. The young and old took turns to get weighed while the person calculating the weight would offer good wishes and auspicious words. It is said those who were weighed would stay healthy in the hot summer
