The old nickname of June.

June is the sixth month of the Gregorian calendar year. It is a small month, and there are 30 days in a calendar year. In the northern hemisphere, June is the first month of summer, and the solar terms of this month are: awn seed and summer solstice. The weather is generally hot, which is the last month of the first half of the year.

In fact, in ancient times, June was called June, and there were many other nicknames. For example, in the Song of Picking Lotus in the Tang Dynasty, Wang Changling wrote: "The lotus leaf skirt is cut in one color, and the hibiscus opens on both sides." The sun is like fire in June, and many plants are listless under the scorching heat. Only the lotus in the lotus pond is graceful and full of vitality. This muddy lotus brings coolness to people in the summer months, so it is also called Lotus Moon.

In addition, the Book of Changes says: "The sun and the moon run, one is cold and the other is hot." So there is a saying that June is called Xia Yue; In the Book of Rites, there is a saying that "the moon stinks in summer dreams". "The moon is wet and hot in summer and season, and it will be fine if it rains heavily." Therefore, June is also called the scorching moon and the last month of summer.

Besides these, June usually has other names, such as Yue Ji, Fuyue, Jingyang, Tanshu and Ji Shu.
