Before long, Wanderers will set foot upon new lands, encounter new faces, and follow new stories. And yet… some memories refuse to leave.

🍃🌸Many will still remember riding through Qinchuan beneath spring skies, becoming a tiny firefly in the summer rain, listening to old tales under lantern-lit autumn nights, or walking alone through snow-covered mountain paths with only the sound of the wind for company.🍂❄️

Before the next journey begins, come sit for a while — and share with fellow Wanderers the moments in Qinchuan that still linger in your heart.

🪿 Honk—! Goose Classroom is now in session—no dozing off.

Jianghu has quietly stepped into summer. Your goose just finished a patrol and brought back a little knowledge: this day called 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 is not as simple as you think.

🍃 The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Start of Summer (Chinese: 立夏), the 7th term of the year, begins on May 5 and ends on May 21 this year. Start of Summer signals the transition of seasons. On this day, the sun's rays reach an angle of 45 degrees to the earth. The temperature will rise quickly during this period, yet in northern China weather remains mild, not tropical.

Here are five things to learn about the Start of Summer.

🌞 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫

The term Start of Summer originated at the end of the Warring States Period (around 239BC). Since it is a crucial time for the harvest of summer crops such as wheat and canola, ancient Chinese emperors in different dynasties attached great importance to the Start of Summer. 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.

⚖️ 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧𝐞'𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭

The custom of weighing people at the Start of Summer originated from the Three Kingdoms Period (220-280) and prevails in South China today. It was believed that this practice would bring health and good luck to the people weighed. After lunch on the day of Start of Summer, people would suspend a stool or basket from a beam. 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 and those who weren't might fall ill.

🥚 𝐄𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐠𝐠𝐬

In ancient China, people believed a round egg symbolized a happy life and 𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐠𝐠𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡. 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 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬

As an old Chinese saying goes "hanging an egg on children's chest can prevent them from getting summer diseases", parents will prepare boiled eggs and put them in a knitted bag before hanging them on their child's chest. When at school, children gather together to 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐞𝐠𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐛𝐲 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐞𝐠𝐠𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐞𝐠𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐬.

❤️ 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭

According to Chinese traditional medicine, Start of Summer is a key time to moisten the heart. When the weather grows hotter, dampness and heat can affect human health. 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝. Vegetables, such as cucumber, tomato, watercress and celery and fruits that include watermelon, pear and strawberry are top recommendations.

🪿 Honk! Class dismissed.

As summer settles in, take care of yourselves—and don’t forget to try some Start of Summer traditions… maybe start with an egg. For practice.

𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 (𝐲𝐞𝐬, 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐭 👀):

What new ideas did today’s lesson give you for welcoming summer? Drop them in the comments—and tell your goose how you’re kicking off your season. No skipping assignments.

Word’s going around there’s a top-tier matchmaker in Qinchuan—No checking your gear, no judging your combat power, only fate decides who’s meant for you.

Whether you’re looking for a boss-fighting partner, a sightseeing buddy, someone to discuss the story with, or just not to roam the Jianghu alone... Come try her legendary matchmaker magic!

📅 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐃𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: May 3rd – May 9th

📜 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬:

1. Head to the new Qinchuan map and interact with the matchmaker NPC.

2. Generate your own “Match Notice” (friends, partners, or whatever fate decides), and share the image in the comments—your next reply might just be your new Jianghu duo!

3. Feel free to drop hints about where to find the Matchmaker to help fellow Wanderers.

🎁 𝐑𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬:

10 lucky players will be randomly selected to receive a $5 Steam Gift Card!

The Jianghu is vast—wandering it alone can get a little lonely. But it’s also surprisingly small… your kindred spirit could be hiding the comments. A great story often starts with something as simple as “hey” in the comments.

So go on—find the Matchmaker in Qinchuan and get yourself a custom notice. You never know… what if? What if this is the one? 😏

(𝐏𝐬𝐬𝐭… 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐮𝐬)

Ahem, purely for “event purposes,” of course—the image above is actually OP’s own notice.

So… anyone feel like they might be a match? 👀
