Is the long summer summer?

Long summer is not long summer, but one of the 24 solar terms.

Every year around May 5th. According to the traditional Chinese calendar in China, Long Summer is the first solar term in summer, which marks the end of spring and the beginning of summer. But in the modern sense, summer often begins in June and ends in August or September. Therefore, although Changxia is long summer, it does not represent long summer.
