Eating rooster
As the weather in Changsha, capital of Hunan province, is hot with heavy rainfall in summer, people there eat rooster during Sanfu, especially during Toufu. They believe that it can clear the damp. There is an old saying that goes “A rooster at the start of Sanfu, a healthy body the whole year.”
