What are the solar terms behind the long summer? Introduction to the solar terms behind the long summer.

1, the solar term after the long summer is Xiaoman, which is the second solar term in summer. Every year between May 20th and 22nd of the Gregorian calendar, the sun is at its peak when it reaches 60 degrees. Xiaoman means that the seeds of summer crops are full, but not yet mature.

2. Xiaoman has three waiting periods: "the first bitter vegetable show, the second grass death, and the third hot summer." The arrival of Xiaoman means that it has entered the season of heavy rainfall, and the rain has begun to increase, and there will often be continuous and large-scale heavy rainfall. Therefore, it is extremely important to prevent heat and moisture, and attention should be paid to mildew prevention in food, clothing, housing and transportation. In Xiaoman season, there is a custom of offering sacrifices to the car god. People will put fish, incense sticks and other items on the waterwheel for worship. And pour white water into the ground, meaning to bless the prosperity of inkstone.
