What are the characteristics of the long summer in 2022 and the historical origin of the long summer solar terms?

Characteristics of long summer

Long summer is the first solar term in summer, and its most obvious characteristics are: the temperature rises obviously, the summer heat comes, the thunderstorm increases, and the crops grow in the peak season. In the long summer, everything is thriving. Because China has a vast territory and a large span from north to south, natural rhythms vary from place to place. In the long summer season, only the area south of Fuzhou-Nanling line in China is the real summer of "the trees are dark and the day is long, and the balcony reflects into the pond", while some areas in the northeast and northwest just have the breath of spring at this time. In the long summer, the temperature in the south and the north is very different.

Is there much precipitation in the long summer?

In the long summer season, precipitation generally increases. After the long summer, the south officially entered the rainy season, and the rainfall and rainy days increased significantly. The north has not entered the rainy season of long summer, and the rainy season in the north is at the turn of summer and autumn. After the long summer, sunshine, temperature and precipitation increase. Judging from the seasonal distribution of precipitation, precipitation in China is mainly concentrated in summer, that is, when the southeast monsoon prevails, so the climate characteristic of China is "the same period of rain and heat". In high temperature season, crops grow vigorously and need a lot of water, and summer is the season with the most precipitation and concentration in China. The high temperature period coincides with the rainy season, and the water and heat are well coordinated, which is very beneficial to crop growth. So this stage is also a critical moment for crop growth.

The Historical Origin of Long Summer

Long summer is one of the 24 solar terms with a long history. Regarding the long summer, the 24 solar terms of Yuan Dynasty poet Wu Cheng are interpreted as: "Summer is false, and everything is false at this time." "False" or "big" here means that the plants in spring have grown up by this time. Therefore, there is a so-called "seeing three innovations" in the custom of long summer in the south of the Yangtze River, which means eating some fresh and tender things that grow in this season, such as cherries, broad beans, bamboo shoots and other typical "three innovations", or replacing them with plums, wheat and peas according to local conditions. Besides eating, of course, there is also playing, even playing while eating, which is the most famous game in summer: breaking eggs. This game is still widely circulated in many areas.
