For example, the day length in Haikou, Hainan is about 13 hours, while in Mohe, Heilongjiang it is as long as 17 hours, and in Beijing it is about 15 hours. Moreover, this day is the day when the sun shines the largest range in the Northern Hemisphere in a year, and it is also the day when the sun is highest from the earth. After the summer solstice, the position of the sun directly above the ground gradually moves southward, and the daylight hours in the northern hemisphere become shorter. "Kezun Xiandu Manuscript" records: "When the sun reaches its northernmost point, the day is at its longest, and the shadow is at its shortest, so it is called the summer solstice. 'Zhi' means "extreme." This shows that the phenomenon of the summer solstice had been discovered in ancient times, and this is also the origin of the name "summer solstice."
