Is the summer solstice the beginning of summer? Is the summer solstice the end of summer?
The summer solstice is one of the 24 solar terms, but not everyone knows whether it is a solar term in summer. So, let’s take a look at whether the summer solstice is the beginning of summer? There are spring, summer, autumn and winter in a year, and the fifth month of the lunar calendar is the peak of summer. If you want to know more about the fifth month of the lunar calendar, please pay attention to Mr. Shui Mo’s special topic on the fifth month of the lunar calendar!Is the summer solstice the beginning of summer?No, the summer solstice is not the beginning of summer. The summer solstice is the fourth solar term in summer.From the perspective of the 24 solar terms, the Beginning of Summer is the beginning of summer. The arrival of Beginning of Summer means the end of spring and the beginning of summer. It is the transition from one season to another. The summer solstice means that the hot summer has begun. So, the Beginning of Summer is the beginning of the Dragon Boat Festival, but the Summer Solstice is not. Is the summer solstice the end of summer?No, the arrival of the summer solstice does not mean the end of summer. The summer solstice is the fourth solar term in summer. After the summer solstice, there are Lesser Heat and Greater Heat. Lesser Heat and Greater Heat are also summer solar terms.Lesser Heat: Lesser Heat is the eleventh solar term of the twenty-four solar terms in the lunar calendar and the fifth solar term in summer, marking the official beginning of the midsummer season. The Lesser Heat occurs when the sun reaches 105° of the ecliptic longitude on July 7 or 8 every year. "Shu" means hot, and "Xiaoshu" means a slight heat, which means the weather is starting to get hot but has not reached its hottest point yet. This climate basically applies to most parts of China. Great Heat: Great Heat, one of the 24 solar terms, is the last solar term in summer. The Big Dipper points to Bing; the sun's ecliptic longitude is 120°; the solar term falls on July 22-24 of the Gregorian calendar. "Shu" means hot, and the Great Heat refers to extreme heat. Compared with Lesser Heat, Greater Heat is hotter and is the hottest solar term in the year with the most sunshine. The "intermixing of humidity and heat" reaches its peak at this time. Climate characteristics of the Great Heat season: extremely high temperatures, frequent thunderstorms and typhoons. Therefore, the summer solstice is not the end of summer. On the contrary, the arrival of the summer solstice means the arrival of hot summer. |
