What does Xiao Shu mean? What is the meaning of Xiao Shu?

Brief introduction: Slight summer heat is the eleventh solar term among the twenty-four solar terms, and the end of the afternoon month and the beginning of the previous month are the main calendar. The sun reaches longitude 105 degrees, and the festival is held on July 6-8 of the Gregorian calendar every year. So what is the moral of the summer heat? What does high temperature mean in summer? Come and have a look with me.

What is the moral of the heat?

Slight summer heat is "slight heat", which means that although we can already feel the heat of the weather at this time, it has not reached the hottest time of the year, just the beginning of a hot summer day. Monsoon climate is the main feature of China climate. Monsoon climate is a mixture of continental climate and maritime climate. Summer is affected by the warm and humid air flow from the ocean, which is hot, humid and rainy. The high temperature in monsoon climate is basically the same as that in rainy season, and the rain and heat are in the same period, which is beneficial to crop growth. In summer, the weather is hot and thunderstorms are frequent, which is the season when everything is crazy.

Although the summer heat is not the hottest season in a year, it is followed by the hottest summer heat in a year. There is a folk saying that "this is a hot summer, steaming hot", the weather will become more and more hot and humid, and people will have nowhere to hide. Speaking of summer heat, there will be no cool wind on the earth, and there will be heat waves in the wind. During the shallow summer, it is midsummer in southern China, and some places have entered the season with the most thunderstorms, often accompanied by strong winds and heavy rains. As summer is light, people are ready for the heat.

Summer custom

1, the custom of "eating new things"

In the past, southern China had the custom of "eating fresh food" in summer. "Eating fresh food" means grinding newly beaten rice and wheat into powder and making various cakes and noodles, which are shared by neighbors and villagers to express their wishes for a bumper harvest. At the same time, these new products should also be prepared as sacrifices to ancestors, and please bless the good weather.

Step 2 Eat jiaozi

In northern China, there is a saying that "jiaozi's face lies on his head, and pancakes lie on his face.". Eating jiaozi on the head is a traditional custom. Fukui people have poor appetite and are often thinner than usual, which is called bitter summer. In traditional customs, jiaozi is a food to stimulate appetite. Jiaozi has always been the favorite food of people in the vast northern areas. As the saying goes, "You can't taste jiaozi".

Summer agricultural activities

Since the long summer solar term, the rainy season in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River has ended one after another, and the southeast monsoon rainy season from the Pacific Ocean began in the vast northern areas of the Huaihe River north and the Qinling Mountains east. Since then, precipitation has increased significantly and rainfall is relatively concentrated. South China, Southwest China and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are also in the southwest monsoon rainy season from Indian Ocean and South China Sea of China. However, under the control of subtropical high, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are generally hot and rainy, with frequent droughts in summer, which has a great impact on agricultural production. It is very important to store water as soon as possible to prevent drought.

Before and after the summer heat, agricultural production was mainly busy with field management except winter and spring wheat harvesting in Northeast China and Northwest China. Early rice is in the late filling stage, and early-maturing varieties should be harvested before the heat, and the field should be kept dry, moist and dry. Mid-season rice has entered booting stage at jointing stage, so it should be topdressing panicle fertilizer according to its growth situation to promote large panicle and more grains. The single-season late rice is tillering, so tillering fertilizer should be applied as soon as possible. Double-late seedlings should be protected against pests and diseases, and sufficient fertilizer should be applied 5 ~ 7 days before planting. High temperature in midsummer is the season when aphids, red spiders and other pests flourish, and timely prevention and control of pests and diseases is another important link in field management.

Early rice and spring corn are in the filling stage in summer solar terms, which is the key period of grain formation. Agricultural activities aim at preventing premature aging, promoting grain filling and increasing 1000-grain weight. Attention should be paid to prevent high temperature ripening and drought disasters in production. In case of high temperature or drought above 35℃, irrigation measures can be taken to improve the field microclimate, or foliar fertilizer can be sprayed to improve the stress resistance of crops. Mid-season rice and summer corn are in the transition period from vegetative growth to reproductive growth, which requires a lot of water. Premature water cut in middle rice field is not conducive to effective tillering formation and young ear differentiation, and neck drought may occur in summer maize, which will seriously reduce production. Cotton is in the flowering and bolling stage, and late rice is in the seedling stage. It is necessary to keep the ditches unobstructed to prevent waterlogging. In addition, good weather conditions in summer are also favorable opportunities for field operations such as pest control.
