What does it mean to welcome summer in the long summer?

Long summer is one of the 24 solar terms in China, representing the end of spring and the beginning of summer. Welcoming summer means welcoming the arrival of summer, which means that the temperature begins to rise gradually, and people's clothes and diet will also change slowly. Welcoming summer also means that farmers begin to plant and cultivate summer crops to prepare for summer harvest. For ordinary people, welcoming summer represents a brand-new beginning. Everything is revived and everything is full of vitality and hope.

Welcoming summer is a kind of awe and gratitude to nature in China traditional culture. Historically, people will make sacrifices on long summer days and pray for a bumper harvest from God. At the same time, welcoming summer also expresses love and joy for summer, and people can enjoy more opportunities for sunshine, beaches and outdoor activities in this season.

In modern society, it is still meaningful to welcome summer. With the development of economy and the increase of people's leisure time, welcoming summer becomes more colorful. People can take advantage of this season to carry out various sports and tourism activities, such as hiking, camping, skating, swimming and diving, and at the same time, they can taste various delicious summer foods, such as watermelon, ice cream and seafood. Summer is also a good time for people to relax and enjoy life.
