The origin of July

The current Gregorian calendar evolved from the Roman calendar.

July was named after Julius Caesar, the Roman ruler, who set his birth month as 3 1 day. August is the birth month of the Roman emperor, named after him. When he came to power to revise the calendar, he took a day off in February (when February was the month of trial of criminals) and added it to his birth month to become 3 1 day.

Therefore, the uneven number of calendar months we see today is due to the will of the rulers and has no scientific significance.

July is the seventh month of the Gregorian calendar year, and it is a big month. * * * There is 3 1 day. In the northern hemisphere, July is the second month of summer. Solar terms of this month: light summer, great summer. In July of 1 year, the Gregorian calendar is the founding day, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month is Tanabata, and July 14 or 15 is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The nicknames of July in the lunar calendar are Xiangyue, Blue Moon, Liang Yue, Guayue, Qiao Yue, Frosty Moon, Qiu Meng, Early Autumn, Early Autumn and Early Autumn.
