This means that when the summer heat enters, there is no longer a trace of coolness on the earth, and the wind is full of heat waves. "Twenty-four solar terms": June is a midsummer festival, and it is hot, so it is divided into small and small, small at the beginning of the month, big in the month, and still small today. The words describing crickets in the Book of Songs in July include Wild July, Palace August, House September and Cricket in My Bed in October.

Agricultural activities during the summer solar term;

Since the beginning of the summer solar term, the rainy season in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River has ended, and frequent summer droughts have a great impact on agricultural production. It is very important to store water and prevent drought as soon as possible at this time. Before and after the summer heat, agricultural production was mainly busy with field management, except for harvesting crops in winter and spring in Northeast China and Northwest China. Early rice is in the late filling stage, and middle rice has been jointing. In the summer solar term, cotton has begun to blossom and boll, and its growth is the most vigorous. There has been an agricultural proverb since ancient times. Although it is hot in summer, cotton pruning can't stop.
