Today marks Rufu, the beginning of the traditional Sanfu period (the “dog days of summer”) — a time recognized in Chinese seasonal traditions for its intense heat and humidity. Unlike the 30-day Sanfu period in 2025, this year’s Sanfu season lasts 40 days.
Sanfu Calendar
Early Fu (Chufu): July 15 – July 24 (10 days)
Middle Fu (Zhongfu): July 25 – August 13 (20 days)
Late Fu (Mofu): August 14 – August 23 (10 days)
In traditional Chinese culture, Sanfu is a seasonal period when people often pay attention to daily habits, food choices, and lifestyle practices that align with the rhythms of summer.
One traditional ingredient associated with wellness traditions is Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum). Reishi has been used for generations in East Asian traditional practices and is commonly enjoyed as part of a balanced lifestyle.
Early Fu: Embracing Summer Traditions
During the early Sanfu period, many people enjoy light, seasonal foods and beverages as part of their summer routines. Reishi can be paired with traditional ingredients such as chrysanthemum flowers for a flavorful tea experience.
Recipe Idea: Reishi Chrysanthemum Tea
Simmer Reishi slices with chrysanthemum flowers to create a traditional tea. Chrysanthemum adds a light floral character, while Reishi contributes a distinctive earthy flavor.
Middle Fu: Traditional Seasonal Foods
The middle period of Sanfu is often associated with the hottest and most humid days of summer. During this time, traditional food practices often emphasize nourishing meals, hydration, and enjoyable seasonal ingredients.
Recipe Idea: Reishi, Coix Seed & Red Bean Congee
Combine red beans, coix seeds, and Reishi slices to prepare a comforting traditional-style congee enjoyed as part of seasonal cuisine.
Recipe Idea: Reishi Old Duck Soup
Slow-cook duck with Reishi slices, aged tangerine peel, and dried dates to create a traditional soup featuring a combination of classic ingredients.
Late Fu: Seasonal Lifestyle Transition
As summer gradually moves toward autumn, many people adjust their daily routines and continue enjoying seasonal foods and traditional ingredients.
Recipe Idea: Reishi Tremella Soup
Combine Reishi slices with tremella (snow fungus) to create a traditional dessert-style soup enjoyed in many Asian cuisines.
Daily Reishi Spore Powder
Reishi spore powder can be conveniently incorporated into everyday foods and beverages, such as warm drinks, breakfast cereals, porridge, or smoothies, as part of a balanced lifestyle.
Enjoy Seasonal Traditions Naturally
Sanfu is a time to appreciate seasonal traditions, mindful eating, and everyday lifestyle choices. By combining traditional ingredients such as Reishi with seasonal foods, you can explore a thoughtful approach to enjoying summer traditions and culinary experiences.
