The meaning and symbol of summer heat

The moral of solar terms is: the weather is getting hotter, but it is not the hottest, because it is a little hot. Although I can already feel the heat of the weather, it is not the hottest time of the year, just the beginning of a hot summer day. It symbolizes the official beginning of summer.

In ancient China, the summer heat was divided into three periods: "First, it was warm and windy; Second, wait for crickets to live in space; The third waiting eagle began to swallow. "

Waiting for the warm wind to come: on a mild summer day, it is warm wind, not hot air. However, in RoyceWong's Great Summer Fu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there is a saying that "the soil is moist and the wind is vigorous". Xi is roasting, and people are like steaming out the whole body dirt in a big steamer between heaven and earth; Another example is stretching in warm water. At this time, the warmth is like wine, and you can enjoy it to your heart's content-it's all because of your mood.

Second, crickets live in space: in the last five days, "crickets live in the wall", which means crickets still live in holes and can't fly out. It didn't come out of the hole until July of the lunar calendar and was active in courtship in the grass. When it is cold in August, it gathers in the yard, making the yard buzzing, and the colder it gets, the closer it gets to people. If you don't enter the house in September, you will freeze to death. In October, it will sing under the bed. It is called "promoting weaving" to urge women to knit, and "promoting weaving to surprise lazy women" as a warning.

The third waiting eagle begins to cluster: the eagle begins to cluster, which means that in five days, the eagle will move in the cool high air because the ground temperature is too high.
