Three stages of the great summer heat

The ancients in China divided the Great Summer into three periods: "Rotten grass is firefly; Second, wait for the soil to moisten and cool off the heat; It clears up when it rains. "

Every summer, due to high temperature and rainy weather, bacteria are easy to breed, and many dead plants are wet and corrupt. At night, fireflies can often be seen flying around, looking for food on rotten grass and leaves. In addition, the soil is hot and humid, which is very suitable for the growth of water-loving crops such as rice. The third kind of weather means that rain will fall in the sky at any time in this hot and humid weather in the same season.
