Summer solstice rain

Rainy days in summer are like an award-winning scholar.

Outside the window, it began to rain. The rain from the summer solstice comes as scheduled in people's prayers.

Today is the summer solstice in the 24 solar terms. The position where the sun shines directly on the ground reaches the northernmost point of the year, almost directly on the tropic of cancer, and the sunshine time in the northern hemisphere is the longest.

In ancient times, the summer solstice was divided into three periods: one was when antlers were released, the other was when cicadas began to sing, and the third was when Pinellia ternata was born. The arrival of the third stage means that Yin and Yang are changing.

Summer is great and extreme. Everything grows luxuriantly here to the extreme, and Yang also to the extreme. After the summer solstice, Yin begins to grow and Yang begins to decline. The solstice in summer is the shortest night and longest day in a year, and it is also the most poetic day.

There is an idiom called "immediate effect", but in summer solstice, due to direct sunlight, there will be a strange phenomenon that the Tropic of Cancer is "extremely shadowless".

"It rains on the solstice in summer, and there is rice in the barn", "It is sunny on the solstice in summer, and it rains in autumn". According to the experience of the ancients, there will be more rain in summer solstice; If the weather is fine and there is less rain in the future, there will be drought. It rains on the solstice of summer, and farmers' harvest is in sight.

The solstice in summer is the season when rice blooms and bears fruit in southern China. Because of the abundant food, frogs, eels and snails in rice fields are plentiful and fat, and strong flower fish are ready to move in the dry ditch, and there are only a handful of them to fish with their hands.

In the past, when guests came home to walk around the field, screws, eels, flower fish and the like were packed home, which was much more convenient than picking vegetables in vegetable fields.

Frogs are much smarter. I remember when I was a child, giant frogs lined up like guards on the ridge after the rain. Just as I was approaching, I "plopped, plopped" into the rice field and disappeared without a trace.

The cunning fox can't escape from the hunter's palm, but the little frog. Prepare more than six flashlights and long net bags at night, and illuminate the frogs with the strong light of flashlights, so that they can be arrested and brought to justice, and only a few frogs can escape from the net.

Frogs burst and cicadas burst. Frogs are still croaking in the fields in the evening, but fat and big frogs are hard to find. Only cicadas in the trees are singing tirelessly.

There are abundant years in the fragrant rice, and the rain from summer to the sun is worth thousands of dollars. May this year be another bumper harvest year!

Summer is here, and the scorching sun is burning. I wish you health and happiness!
