Introduction to the origin of solar terms in summer.

1, because summer heat is relative to summer heat, the ancients thought that summer vacation was not the hottest time of the year, so it was called summer heat. "Summer heat" means heat, and a little summer heat means a little summer heat, not very hot.

In addition, in some ancient areas, in order to cool off the heat, people would chop up seasonal fruits such as bayberry and peach and put them in ice to make ice porridge. In many agricultural areas of our country, there used to be the custom of eating new things and offering sacrifices to ancestors in summer to pray for their good weather.
