Brief introduction of summer solstice

The summer solstice is the 10 of the 24 solar terms, and it is also a turning point for the sun to move northward. After the summer solstice, the ground is heated strongly and the air convection is strong. Thunderstorms are often easy to form in the afternoon to evening. People call it "dividing fields in summer and rain".

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, precipitation has a great influence on agricultural output, and there is a saying that "raindrops from summer to the sun are worth thousands of dollars".

Summer solstice is one of the eight seasons. Since ancient times, people have celebrated the harvest and offered sacrifices to their ancestors in order to pray for a good year. People in ancient farming society will hold ancestor worship on this day, and gradually form some established ways of celebration, that is, the so-called festival folklore.
