Characteristics of summer solar terms in Shaoxing

Shaoxing's summer solar terms are characterized by being in a hot and rainy season, and the rain drops like gold. There are some sayings, such as "Summer rain is as light as silver, and summer rain is as heavy as gold", "It rains a lot, and many meters are hoarded every day", "It rains a lot, and grain and cotton are abundant", "Autumn is not early, and an acre adds a load". As Heshui Zuo said in his poem, "The sun is shining and the weather is hot, but doing nothing and worrying about flies and mosquitoes. When you rise in the clouds of war, if you shoot an arrow at the lotus pond, it is golden. " If it rains around the summer heat, it indicates that there will be more rain in the future. There is a proverb in agriculture that "it rains in summer and water is enough in autumn;" It doesn't rain in summer, and I'm worried that I won't be able to eat water.

In addition, during the summer solar term, except the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Northeast China, the weather is hot in most areas. High temperature of 35℃ is a common occurrence, while high temperature of 40℃ is not uncommon. Nanjing, Wuhan and Chongqing, three famous stoves, are also the most popular during the high temperature in summer.
