Common sense of solar terms: what does summer mean?

Place, stop. So much for the summer heat.

Being in summer is not only different from mild summer heat and severe summer heat, but also different from mild cold and severe cold solar terms. This is a solar term representing the transition from hot to cold.

China divided the summer heat into three periods: "The eagle is a sacrificial bird; Second, wait for the beginning of heaven and earth; Three Hou Wonaideng. " In this solar term, eagles began to prey on birds in large numbers; Everything between heaven and earth began to wither; "Henaideng" refers to millet, millet, rice and sorghum crops, and "Deng" means maturity.

After the summer, except for South China and Southwest China, the rainy season is coming to an end in most parts of China, and the precipitation is gradually decreasing, and rice is ripe and harvested. Especially in North China, Northeast China and Northwest China, we must pay close attention to water storage and moisture conservation. If there is drought during autumn sowing, the sowing date of winter crops will be postponed.
