Do summer heat and summer heat mean a day?

Summer heat and summer heat don't happen in one day. Summer is one of the twenty-four solar terms. The summer heat, also called dog days, is the hottest period of the year.

The ancient summer heat was divided into three periods: "The rotten grass in the first period was firefly; Second, wait for the soil to moisten and cool off the heat; It will be fine when it rains. " During the heat, fireflies come out of their eggs. During the limited period of scientific and technological development, people thought that fireflies were made of rotten grass. In five days, the weather will be hotter and the land will be very wet; There will often be thunderstorms in five days, and the heavy rain will weaken the heat and humidity, and the weather will begin to transition to beginning of autumn.

According to whether it is hot or not, there are many agricultural proverbs to predict the weather trend, such as "it is very hot in summer and the fields are closed;" It's cool in summer and the pond is full of water. It's hot in summer and cool after autumn. It is very hot in summer and there is no frost for four months. It is not hot in summer and not cold in winter. Summer is not hot, and winter is not good.

In midsummer, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are in a hot and rainy season, and the rain drops like gold, so there are "small summer rain like silver, big summer rain like gold", "rainy day, abundant Ridomi", "rainy day, abundant grain, abundant cotton" and "don't worry about drought, increase an acre". It doesn't rain in summer, and it seldom rains. The water is very worried.

In midsummer, there is a "summer boat" activity along the coast of Taizhou, Zhejiang Province. Fishermen take turns carrying "summer boats" to drum in the street, firecrackers are ringing, and people stand on both sides of the street to pray. The "Summer Boat" was finally transported to the dock for a series of blessing ceremonies. Subsequently, this "summer boat" was dragged out of the fishing port by fishing boats, lit at sea and went with the water to wish people a bumper harvest and a safe life.
