What is the date of the summer heat in 2023?

The hot summer time in 2023 is Friday, May 20th and July 7th of the lunar calendar.

Summer is the eleventh of the twenty-four solar terms, at the end of the afternoon and the beginning of the month. The sun reaches longitude 105 degrees, and the festival is held on July 6-8 of the Gregorian calendar every year. Summer means hot, a little hot, not very hot.

Phenological phenomenon

Wu Cheng, a scholar in Yuan Dynasty, edited Twenty-four Solar Terms. According to the scenery around the Yellow River Basin and the characteristics of the twenty-four solar terms, he divided the twenty-four solar terms into "seventy-two periods", and each solar term was divided into three periods.

The third phase of the summer heat is: "When the wind is warm; Second, wait for crickets to live in space; The third waiting eagle began to crow. " In summer, there is no cool wind on the earth, and all the winds carry heat waves.

The words describing crickets in the Book of Songs in July are "Wild July, August, September at home, October in bed." The August mentioned in this article is June in the summer calendar, which is June in the summer solstice solar terms. Because of the heat, the crickets left the field and went to the corner of the yard for the summer. In this solar term, the eagle is in the cool high air movement, because the ground temperature is too high.
