Lixia is the solar term that marks the start of summer. It's a tradition for kids to wear egg pouches and eat dog-shaped sticky rice buns for good luck. Many Chinese people also keep up the tradition of weighing using ancient methods: where an iron weight is hung from one side of a plank while a person sits in a bamboo basket hanging from the other side. This tradition is especially popular with children as parents find out if they are in good health for the coming summer.
