Popular science in the era of college entrance examination

Starting from 1979, the annual college entrance examination date is fixed on July 7 (except 1983). Why is the annual college entrance examination scheduled for July 7th? There is a saying that 1977 resumed the college entrance examination, and the college entrance examination on July 7 commemorated the year when the college entrance examination was resumed (1977). There is also a saying that the college entrance examination on July 7th commemorates the Marco Polo Bridge Incident on July 7th, 1937.

The weather in China is hot and changeable in July every year, and the southern region is often harassed by typhoons. If the college entrance examination in a certain area happens to encounter a flood or typhoon, it will be inconvenient for candidates, parents and teachers, and extreme weather will occur frequently, which will easily affect the normal performance of candidates.

Because of this, the Ministry of Education found that July every year, especially July 5-15, is the highest temperature, and extreme weather occurs frequently everywhere, while the temperature difference between day and night in June is large, and the probability of extreme weather is much less than that in July.

Therefore, since 2003, the date of the annual college entrance examination will be advanced by one month, from July 7 to June 7 and 8.
