The summer solstice is the 10 of the 24 solar terms. Fighting means noon; The yellow meridian of the sun is 90 degrees; June 2 1~22 of Gregorian calendar. On the day of summer solstice, the position where the sun shines directly on the ground reaches the northernmost part of the year, almost directly on the tropic of cancer. At this time, the daylight hours in all parts of the northern hemisphere reach the longest in the whole year. For the Tropic of Cancer and its northern region, the summer solstice is also the highest day at noon in a year.

For China, which is located in the north of the Tropic of Cancer, after the summer solstice, the height of the noon sun begins to decrease day by day; For China, which is located in the south of the Tropic of Cancer, after the summer solstice, the height of the noon sun returned to the south, and it began to decrease day by day after the sun shone again.
