What is the moral of the summer solstice solar terms?

Summer solstice means that most areas are sunny, the temperature is high, and crops grow rapidly. For agriculture, the summer solstice precipitation is very important. There is a proverb that "the rain from summer solstice is worth a thousand dollars". The summer solstice coincides with the wheat harvest season, and weeds and pests grow rapidly. It is necessary to do a good job in the prevention and control of pests and diseases in the field.

During the summer solstice, the temperature is high, the sunshine is sufficient, the crops grow rapidly, and the physiological and ecological water demand is high in most parts of China. At this time, the precipitation has a great influence on agricultural output, and there is a saying that "raindrops are worth tens of millions in summer solstice". At this time, the precipitation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River can generally meet the needs of crop growth.

After the summer solstice, the ground is heated strongly and the air convection is strong, which is easy to form thunderstorms. This kind of hot thunderstorm comes and goes, and the rainfall range is small. Heavy rains may occur in some areas, which may easily lead to floods and even threaten people's lives and property. Attention should be paid to strengthening flood control.

Summer solstice phenomenon

In some ancient Chinese literary works, the summer is divided into three periods: the first period is the staghorn solution, which means that the deer's horn is forward, so it belongs to yang, and it is believed that the antlers begin to fall off in summer, while the mi is yin, so it falls off in winter (Mi and deer belong to the same family, but the ancients thought it was yin and yang).

When the cicada starts to sing, it means that after the summer solstice, the male cicada will flap his wings and sing. Pinellia ternata was born in the third season, which means that Pinellia ternata is a shade-loving herb, named after it was born in swamps or paddy fields in midsummer. It can be seen that in the hot summer, some creatures that like yin begin to appear, while those that like yang begin to decline.
