The difference between midsummer and early summer

Early summer, the first month of summer. Also known as Xia Meng.

Midsummer is the hottest time in summer.

Midsummer, the term of solar terms, is actually midsummer. In ancient times, it was divided into Meng, Zhong and Ji. One of these three months is the hottest time in summer. At this time, many fruits and vegetables are ripe. In midsummer, the weather is hot, and old people and children are prone to heatstroke. Therefore, in life, we should adopt a scientific diet, reasonably relieve summer heat and keep healthy.

It's early summer, and the rapidly rising temperature makes people feel the heat of summer. Young people wearing cool clothes can be seen everywhere in the street, and cold drinks and ice cream are also selling well. In this regard, from the perspective of health care, although the weather is getting hotter and hotter, people should not regard early summer as midsummer, especially the elderly and children, and should not cut down on clothes and covet cold drinks and food.

Suggestion: In early summer, pay special attention to the warmth of the neck and waist when sleeping. Don't put the mat on too early. It's not too late to lay a mat when the weather gets hot again and the temperature rises to a certain extent at night.
