Cricket is one of the three seasons in summer.

"The Book of Rites and the Moon Order" says: "Insects sound, earthworms come out, melons grow long, and bitter vegetables are obvious." There are three times in the long summer, the first time is the sound of insects, the second time is the appearance of earthworms, and the third time is the birth of melons. Zhong Ming is one of the Marquis of Xia San.

Worms and moles are suitable for warm and humid environments. With the chirping of the mole, it means that the taste of summer is strong.

Overview of Long Summer:

The concept of long summer is:

Summer is the seventh solar term among the twenty-four solar terms, and it is also the first solar term in summer. It is held every year from May 5 to 7 in the Gregorian calendar. At this time, the bucket handle of the Big Dipper points to the southeast, and the longitude of the sun reaches 45. After the long summer, the sunshine increased, gradually warming, and thunderstorms increased. Long summer is an important solar term, marking the peak season for the growth of all things.

Establishment means establishment and beginning. "Xia" means "big" in the old saying. Everything grew up and was named Changxia. Because China has a vast territory and a large span from north to south, natural rhythms vary from place to place.

Characteristics of solar terms in long summer:

1, showers and thunderstorms increased:

One of the climatic characteristics of the long summer solar terms is the obvious increase of showers and thunderstorms. The increase and intensity of precipitation are caused by the confrontation between cold and warm air and the convective weather caused by the rise of warm and humid air near the ground. Long summer is an important solar term, marking the peak season for the growth of all things. According to the standard of modern climatology in China, the daily average temperature rises above 22℃, starting in summer.

2. The spring amplitude reaches the peak:

Before the arrival of the long summer solar term, the scope of spring in China reached its peak. Except Hainan, Guangdong, Guangxi, south-central Jiangxi, southern Hunan and Fujian, it was summer, and most other areas were still spring. The arrival of the long summer symbolizes the beginning of the dormant summer, which begins to advance northward and reach North China.
