Another name for the lotus from summer solstice.

On the solstice of summer, lotus is called lotus.

The summer solstice is the 10 of the 24 solar terms. Fighting means noon; The yellow meridian of the sun is 90 degrees; June 2 1~22 of Gregorian calendar. On the day of summer solstice, the position where the sun shines directly on the ground reaches the northernmost part of the year, almost directly on the tropic of cancer. At this time, the daylight hours in all parts of the northern hemisphere reach the longest in the whole year. For the Tropic of Cancer and its northern region, the summer solstice is also the highest day at noon in a year.

The solstice in summer is the turning point of the sun's northward movement. After the summer solstice, the direct point of the sun began to move south from the Tropic of Cancer, and the days in the northern hemisphere began to shorten gradually.

For China, which is located in the north of the Tropic of Cancer, after the summer solstice, the height of the noon sun begins to decrease day by day; For China, which is located in the south of the Tropic of Cancer, after the summer solstice, the height of the sun returned to the south at noon, and it began to decrease day by day after the sun shone again.

Phenological phenomenon

In some ancient Chinese literary works, the summer is divided into three periods: the first period is the staghorn solution, which means that the deer's horn is forward, so it belongs to yang, and it is believed that the antlers begin to fall off in summer, while the mi is yin, so it falls off in winter (Mi and deer belong to the same family, but the ancients thought it was yin and yang).

When the cicada starts to sing, it means that after the summer solstice, the male cicada will flap his wings and sing. Pinellia ternata was born in the third season, which means that Pinellia ternata is a shade-loving herb, named after it was born in swamps or paddy fields in midsummer. It can be seen that in the hot summer, some creatures that like yin begin to appear, while those that like yang begin to decline.
