According to the climate and temperature, the lunar May has another name: midsummer, midsummer, steamy and rainy month. In the understanding of the ancients, the first year was divided into four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter, and then the December of the lunar calendar was divided into "Shangmeng, Zhongzhong and Xiaji" in order. Xia Meng, midsummer, the last month of summer; Qiu Meng, Zhong Qiu, Qiu Ji; Meng Dong, Winter Solstice and Dong Jicheng are the corresponding month names commonly used by the ancients. The ancients took April, May and June of the lunar calendar as summer, and May came second, so it was called midsummer and midsummer. Therefore, May is called "no month with many steam" because of the hot weather, low air pressure, high humidity and high temperature in summer. Du Fu once complained in Sigh on a Summer Night: the bitter nights in midsummer are short and the porch is cold.
