Which season does this solar term belong to?

The solar term of summer vacation belongs to autumn.

Summer is the fourteenth solar term among the twenty-four solar terms and the second solar term in autumn. Summer has arrived, which is the "last summer" in the "three summers" of hot and hot weather, which means that the hot and difficult weather is coming to an end. After the summer heat, the direct point of the sun continued to move southward, the solar radiation weakened, the subtropical high retreated southward, and the summer heat gradually disappeared. Thunderstorm activity is not as active as summer, and the general trend of rainstorm in all parts of the country is weakened.

The bucket handle of the Big Dipper points southwest (position E). When the sun reaches longitude 150, the node time is around August 23rd in Gregorian calendar. In summer, the direct point of the sun has moved from 23 26' north latitude to1128' north latitude. At this time, if you watch the Big Dipper at night, you will find that the curved bucket handle still points southwest. The arrival of the hot summer also means entering the second half of the dry calendar.

Summer customs:

1, Eat duck: "Eat duck in July and half, and eat taro in August and half". The ancients thought that ducks in the middle of July in the lunar calendar were the fattest and most nutritious. In summer, old Beijingers will buy lily ducks to cool off the summer, but in Jiangsu, it's so-called "sending ducks to cool off the summer makes everyone sick" to serve a bowl of duck dishes to their neighbors.

2. River lanterns: River lanterns usually put lights or candles on the base. Before and after the summer vacation, there will be activities to celebrate the Central Plains, commonly known as "July 30" or "Central Plains Festival", in which river lanterns are put into the water to drift, to mourn the dead and pray for peace.

3. Fishing Festival: After summer, fishing harvest is a period. China coastal areas often hold various activities in this solar term to send fishermen out to sea and look forward to a bumper harvest. At this time, the water temperature in the sea area is still high, and the fish will still stay around the sea area, and the fish, shrimp and shellfish are mature. Therefore, from this time on, people can often enjoy all kinds of seafood.
