Great Heat (Da Shu) is the 12th solar term in China's 24-seasonal calendar, marking the peak of summer heat. For centuries, it has been a time when Chinese people savor specific seasonal foods—from juicy lychees to aromatic herbal teas—rooted in the wisdom of 'harmony with nature'.      As these traditional flavors gain global popularity, modern food producers face a challenge: how to scale production while preserving the authenticity of these seasonal treats. The answer lies in precision—specifically, the UUPAC's 20-Head Multihead Weigher.   What is "Great Heat" and Its Seasonal Flavors?     In Chinese culture, each solar term is tied to 'eating with the seasons'—a practice believed to balance health and nature. During Great Heat (Da Shu), the hottest period in the 24 solar terms, the focus shifts to cooling, nourishing foods and drinks that help the body adapt to sweltering temperatures. This wisdom of 'harmony with nature' is deeply rooted in daily life, especially in what we consume.   Lychees: Known as the 'king of fruits' in summer, lychees ripen during Great Heat. Their sweet, juicy flesh is a symbol of abundance, but their delicate texture makes them tricky to process in bulk. Tea, a beverage beloved worldwide, takes center stage in Great Heat. In Chinese tradition, certain teas—like longjing (dragon well), biluochun, or chrysanthemum tea—are considered 'cooling' for the body during hot weather. Whether loose-leaf, crushed, or blended into herbal infusions, these teas require precise portioning to maintain their distinct aroma and flavor, a tradition passed down for centuries. Mixed nuts & dried fruits: As a refreshing snack to beat the heat, mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts) and dried fruits (like dates or raisins) are popular during Great Heat. They're often packed into convenient portions, needing accurate weighing to ensure consistent quality for consumers.   The Challenge of Scaling Seasonal Flavors     For food manufacturers, bringing these seasonal flavors to global markets means balancing speed, accuracy, and consistency. Traditional weighing methods—slow, error-prone, and inconsistent—risk wasting delicate ingredients (like lychee pieces) or compromising flavor (by over/under-dosing herbal tea blends). Great Heat's high temperatures add another layer——ingredients spoil faster, so production lines need to be efficient to preserve freshness. This is where precision meets urgency.   How UUPAC's 20-Head Multihead Weighers Solve the Problem Precision for delicate ingredients: Lychee pieces, herbal tea granules, or small nuts—our 20-Head Multihead Weigher uses advanced algorithms to weigh even fragile or irregularly shaped items with 0.1g accuracy. No more crushed fruit or imbalanced tea blends—preserving the integrity of seasonal flavors. Speed for heat-sensitive production: With 20 heads w...

The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Duanwu Festival, is one of the most important traditional festivals in China.   Origins of the Dragon Boat Festival​   The Dragon Boat Festival's origin is tied to Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet-statesman in the Warring States period (475-221 BC). Loyal to the State of Chu, he was slandered and exiled. On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, in despair, he drowned himself in the Miluo River. Admiring Qu Yuan, locals raced boats to find his body and threw zongzi into the river to stop fish from eating it. This led to the traditions of dragon boat racing and eating zongzi during the festival.   Traditional customs​ 1. Dragon boat racing​     Dragon boat racing stands as the most iconic activity of the Dragon Boat Festival. Colorfully-adorned teams paddle dragon-shaped boats in unison to the drumbeat, with the elaborately decorated dragon heads and tails embodying Chinese cultural symbolism. This sport not only commemorates Qu Yuan but also showcases teamwork; today, it has transcended China's borders, captivating global audiences through international competitions. 2. Eating Zongzi​     Zongzi, an iconic food of the Dragon Boat Festival, is crafted from glutinous rice encased in bamboo or reed leaves, with fillings ranging from red beans to pork. A cherished family tradition, generations gather to make these triangular or rectangular treats, steaming or boiling them to unlock their unique flavors. Symbolizing togetherness, zongzi's distinct taste makes it a beloved staple during the festive celebrations. 3. Wearing sachets​     Sachets, or fragrant pouches filled with herbs, are colorful, embroidered bags. Popular among children, they're believed to ward off evil and keep wearers healthy. These handicrafts make great Dragon Boat Festival gifts symbolizing good wishes.   The significance of the Dragon Boat Festival​     The Dragon Boat Festival is not only a time for celebration and enjoyment but also a time to remember and honor the country's history and cultural traditions. It serves as a reminder of the values of patriotism, loyalty, and perseverance, as represented by Qu Yuan. The festival also plays an important role in strengthening family bonds and community spirit. Through the various traditional activities, people come together, share their experiences, and pass on the cultural heritage from one generation to the next. In addition, the Dragon Boat Festival has become an important part of Chinese cultural identity, and it is increasingly recognized and celebrated around the world, helping to promote cross-cultural understanding and communication.​
