What did summer in long summer mean in ancient times?

Summer means growing up in ancient times.

It is of great significance to say that "summer" is connected with "falsehood" in Shuo Wen Jie Zi. According to historical records, "Long summer, April Festival. Summer, holidays. At this time, everything is fake and big. " The word "stand" here means "start" and "false" means "big", which means that the plants sown in spring have grown upright, so it is called long summer. < br> Long summer is the seventh of the 24 solar terms and the first solar term in summer, which indicates the official start of summer. The bucket refers to the southeast, and the dimension is long in summer. Everything has grown to this day, hence the name Long Summer. The "constant gas method" takes the long summer solar term when the sun reaches 45 degrees of the yellow meridian. The ancients paid great attention to the etiquette and customs of "Long Summer". In the past, people held a "welcoming summer" ceremony in the long summer to express their prayers and good wishes for a bumper harvest.
