Eat ice cream in summer.

There is a folk proverb called "Little summer is big summer, steaming on top and cooking on the bottom", which means that when it comes to the two solar terms, the sun is scorching on top and the moisture is transpiration on the bottom. The world is like a big steamer, which makes people feel "steaming on top and cooking on the bottom". This proverb is figuratively expressed, which shows that slight summer heat and great summer heat are the hottest seasons in summer.

Indeed, the two solar terms, Little Summer and Big Summer, are the hottest seasons of the year, just as the ancient poem said-the sun is like fire.

First, the meaning of "small summer heat and great summer heat"

The names of the two solar terms, Little Summer and Big Summer, both mean "heat".

The ancients vividly said: "Summer heat, cooking, hot as cooking." The meaning of this sentence is: "Summer" means "cooking". The heat is coming, and the weather is as hot as cooking.

This statement still uses an image metaphor, comparing "summer heat" to "cooking". The real meaning of "summer heat" is "heat". Therefore, a little summer heat is a little summer heat and a big summer heat is a big summer heat. Therefore, in comparison, the hottest thing is the great summer heat. Of course, it's already very hot in the summer.

For this reason, there are folk sayings that "there is a little summer on the top, a big summer on the bottom, steaming on the top and cooking on the bottom" and "there is nowhere to hide from the heat after the little summer", all of which explain the degree of heat in this period.
