The meaning and representation of summer time

The meaning and representative of summer time:

On July 6th, 7th or 8th, every year, when the sun reaches 105 degrees, it is called the summer solar term. Slight summer heat is one of the twenty-four solar terms and the eleventh solar term among the twenty-four solar terms. Slight summer heat means that the weather begins to get hot, but it is not the hottest time yet. Before and after the summer heat, the northeast and northwest regions will not only harvest crops such as winter and spring wheat, but also do a good job in preventing and controlling diseases and pests of field seedlings.

During the summer heat, the western part of South China enters the season with the most heavy rain, and mountain torrents often occur in places with large relief. Drought and flood control measures must be taken as soon as possible to minimize the harm. In ancient times, in order to cool off the heat, people in some areas would chop up seasonal fruits such as bayberry and peach and put them in ice to make ice porridge. In many agricultural areas of our country, there used to be the custom of eating new things and offering sacrifices to ancestors in summer to pray for their good weather.
