What are the customs of worshipping ancestors during the summer solstice?

The summer solstice is the time of wheat harvest. Since ancient times, people have celebrated the harvest and worshipped their ancestors at this time to pray for the elimination of disasters and a good harvest. Therefore, the summer solstice was incorporated into the ancient rituals of worshiping gods as a festival. In ancient times, the Summer Solstice Festival was as grand as the Dragon Boat Festival. Since the Zhou Dynasty, the imperial court has held grand sacrificial ceremonies on every summer solstice to pray for the elimination of disasters and a good harvest. In addition to sacrifices, the court also used singing, dancing, rituals and music to pray for peace and prosperity for the country and the people. In the Song Dynasty, starting from the summer solstice, all officials in the court would have three days off. During the Liao Dynasty, women gave each other powder sacs to remove the smell of sweat on their bodies.
