What season is summer usually in?

Summer is the fourteenth of the twenty-four solar terms. "Out" means termination, and the summer heat means the end of the summer heat. The dog days have passed or will soon end. Due to the influence of short-term reheating weather (commonly known as "autumn tiger"), there is still continuous high temperature after the summer heat, and it will feel sultry. The weather will change from hot to sultry, and it will generally be cool around the Millennium.

Although it feels like autumn, the summer heat has not weakened, especially in the south, it will still feel very hot during the midsummer solar term, and it may even experience disturbing high temperature again. The ancients divided the summer solar terms into three periods, one of which was an eagle offering sacrifices to birds; Second, wait for the beginning of heaven and earth; Three Hou he naideng.

Introduce the traditional customs of summer vacation;

1, ancestor worship to welcome autumn

The folk customs around the summer solar terms are mostly related to ancestor worship and welcoming autumn. Around the summer vacation, there will be folk activities to celebrate "July 30th", commonly known as "July 30th" or "Mid-Autumn Festival". July and a half is a folk festival to celebrate the harvest and repay the earth in early autumn. Some crops are ripe, so according to the law, people should worship their ancestors, offer new rice and other sacrifices, and report Qiu Cheng to their ancestors.

2. Worship the land god

The summer solar term coincides with the harvest season of crops, and farmers hold various ceremonies to thank the land god. Some killed animals to worship in the land temple, some planted flags in the middle of the field to express their gratitude, and some didn't wash their feet when they came home from work in the field on this day, for fear of washing away the harvest. On July 15th, offering sacrifices to land and crops is still a folk custom. Scatter sacrifices in the fields. After burning the paper, wrap it on the ears of crops with cut five-color paper.
