The meaning of summer solar terms

"Summer heat" means heat, and great summer heat, as its name implies, is very hot. The summer heat is the twelfth of the twenty-four solar terms. Every year from July 22nd to 24th in the Gregorian calendar, the sun reaches the yellow meridian120th, indicating that the weather is extremely hot and the hottest period is coming. At this time, the temperature is the highest and there are many thunderstorms. In many areas of China, high temperature of 40 degrees Celsius often occurs. There are folk customs such as drinking tea, drying ginger and burning incense.

The ancient summer heat in China is divided into three periods: "Rotten grass is firefly; Second, wait for the soil to moisten and cool off the heat; It will be fine when it rains. " There are more than 2000 species of fireflies in the world, which are divided into aquatic and terrestrial species. Terrestrial fireflies lay eggs on hay, and when it is hot, fireflies ovulate, so the ancients thought fireflies were made of rotten grass. The second weather is that the weather becomes sultry and the land is wet. The third kind of weather is frequent thunderstorm, which weakens the heat and humidity, and the weather begins to transition to beginning of autumn.

Characteristics of solar terms in summer heat

Summer solar terms are in the "three volts", which is the period with the most sunshine and the highest temperature in China. Most parts of the country are dry and lack of rain, and the temperature in many areas is above 35 degrees, so the so-called "three stoves" are also the most prosperous.

From the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other places north of South China, it is hot and rainy, 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", "Rain in rain, Ridomi hoards it", "Rain in rainy days, abundant grain and cotton", and "One acre is added with one load without drought".

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. The cloud swells and the arrow scatters gold on the lotus pond. " 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 the western part of South China, although the high temperature appears most frequently, the rain is the most abundant and the thunderstorm is the most common, which is the season with the most thunderstorms. There is a proverb here: "If the east flash doesn't fall, the west flash can't go." It means that in the summer afternoon, if there is lightning in the east, the rain will not come here. If lightning is in the west, the rain will come soon, and it's too late to hide.

According to whether it is hot or not, there are many agricultural proverbs to predict the weather in the later period: for example, in the short term, there will be a "great summer, and the fields will rest;" It is cool in summer and the pond is full of water "; Mid-term means "great heat, cool after autumn"; Long-term predictions include "the heat is unbearable, and there will be no frost for four months", "the heat is not hot, the winter is not cold" and "the heat is not hot, and the winter will rot".
