At what time respectively?Summer solstice date: June 21 or 22 of the Gregorian calendar every year“It’s not hot though at the summer solstice” and “The first day of the dog days is counted three days after the summer solstice.” Although the summer solstice indicates that the hot summer has arrived, it is not the hottest time yet. The temperature will continue to rise for a period of time after the summer solstice. After about another 20 to 30 days, it will generally be the hottest weather. Autumnal Equinox Date: September 23 or 24 every year The Autumnal Equinox has some similar folk customs to the Qingming Festival, and there is also the custom of sweeping tombs and worshiping ancestors, which is called "Autumn Sacrifice." During the Autumnal Equinox, people in many places eat a kind of wild vegetable called "wild amaranth", and some villagers call it "autumn artemisia". In some areas, farmers send Autumn Ox Pictures to every household. The Autumn Ox Picture is made by printing the lunar calendar terms of the whole year and the picture of farmers plowing the fields on red or yellow paper. It is called the "Autumn Ox Picture". Winter Solstice Date: December 21-23 of the Gregorian calendar every year The Winter Solstice, which has both natural and humanistic connotations, is not only an important solar term among the 24 solar terms, but also a traditional festival for ancestor worship among the Chinese people. The Winter Solstice is one of the eight festivals of the four seasons and is regarded as a major festival in winter. In ancient times, people said that "the Winter Solstice is as important as New Year's Day." The customs of the Winter Solstice vary in content and details depending on the region. In southern China, there is a custom of worshiping ancestors and feasting during the winter solstice. In northern China, there is a custom of eating dumplings on the winter solstice every year. Spring Equinox Date Introduction: March 19 to 22 of the Gregorian calendar As soon as the vernal equinox arrives, the rainfall increases significantly and the average ground temperature in China has steadily exceeded 10 degrees, which is the spring temperature defined in climatology. After the Spring Equinox, the climate becomes mild, with abundant rainfall and bright sunshine. Winter crops in most parts of China enter the spring growth stage, which is also the sowing period for early rice. |
