📖 Excerpt from the Wikipedia article
The Fu Yang Festival is a traditional festival celebrated by local residents in Xuzhou, an ancient city located in the northwest of Jiangsu province. The festival starts on the day of Chufu which is around mid-July according to the lunar calendar and lasts for nearly one month. In China, "Fu" refers to the hottest days in summer. As is known to us all, mutton is a kind of hot food which may make people sweat when they are eating——that's why in most parts of China people choose to eat mutton in cold winter day rather than in summer. However, in Xuzhou, people act in a diametrically opposite way, they enjoy being bathed in sweat as well as tasting the delicious dishes made from mutton under the burning hot sun.
