Chang Xia San Hou Hua Xin

As we all know, our ancestors invented twenty-four solar terms to express the weather change according to the law of weather change, and each solar term is about 15 days. But few people know that they also divide 15 days into three sections, one of which is five days. According to the climate characteristics and some special phenomena at that time, the working people in China named the three phases of each solar term. So, what is Chang Xia's third waiting letter?

After the long summer break.

The so-called three waiting periods are: first, wait for the cockroach to make a sound, second, wait for the earthworm to come out, and third, wait for the melon king to be born. This means that in this solar term, you can first hear crickets chirping in the field, then you can see earthworms digging the ground, and then the vines of melon begin to climb and grow rapidly.

The three periods are the conclusions drawn by the working people in China through long-term observation and practical experience. They divided the long summer into three periods, namely, the initial period, the buzzing period, the second period, the emergence of earthworms and the third period, and the birth of king melons. In the early stage, the cricket in the sound of cricket is cricket, which is suitable for warm and humid environment. With the sound of cricket, the taste of summer is relatively strong. Second, the earthworm came out. Earthworms are real objects, living in wet and dark soil. When the sun was shining, earthworms got impatient and emerged from the soil in succession. The so-called "three seasons", Wang Guasheng, is a unique medicinal climber in northern China. It grows rapidly in the long summer and will bear red fruits in June and July. This is Chang Xia San Hou.
