What does the summer solar term mean?

Summer solar terms mean the end of hot summer days. The "location" of the summer heat means the end, and the "summer heat" means the hot weather, which means that the hot weather is about to pass, the summer heat will end on this day, and the temperature in most areas will gradually drop.

Long summer is the 14th solar term among the 24 solar terms, which reflects the change of temperature. The node time is around August 23rd in Gregorian calendar, and the sun arrives at 150. "Chu" means "far away", which means that the summer heat gradually disappears and the summer heat stops here. The arrival of the summer heat means that the temperature will start to drop significantly. Since then, the autumn wind has gradually started, and people can enjoy the coolness of autumn.

In this season of summer, everyone should beware of "autumn dryness" hurting people. While strengthening physical exercise, we should pay attention to diet conditioning, eat less or no cold and spicy food, and eat more fruits, lilies, lotus roots, honey and some porridge soup that nourishes yin and moistens lungs, moistens dryness and promotes fluid production.

After the summer solstice solar terms, although the subtropical high strode south, it would never give up its dominant position easily and easily retreat into the sea of the western Pacific. In the southern areas under its control, it is often late summer, and hot weather is felt again. This is the short-term regenerative weather "autumn tiger".

The duration of autumn tigers varies from year to year, usually lasting from half a month to two months. The reason for the formation of the autumn tiger is that the western Pacific subtropical high that controls China in autumn gradually moves southward, but then moves northward. Controlled by subtropical high, it is cloudy locally, cloudy between sunny days, strong sunshine and rising temperature.
