"Summer Solstice" is one of the 24 solar terms and belongs to the summer solar term. Do you know what the characteristics of the summer solstice are? Let’s take a look! Time always flows by us like a stream. In the blink of an eye, the fifth month of the lunar calendar is about to arrive. If you want to know more about the fifth month of the lunar calendar, please visit Mr. Shui Mo's website!What are the characteristics of the summer solstice?Convective weather <br /> After the summer solstice, the ground heats up strongly, air convection is strong, and thunderstorms are likely to form in the afternoon and evening. This type of hot thunderstorm comes and goes suddenly, and the rainfall range is small, so people call it "summer rain across the fields." Liu Yuxi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once cleverly used this kind of weather as a metaphor to write the famous lines "The sun rises in the east and it rains in the west, it says there is no sunshine but there is sunshine." The heavy rainfall brought by convective weather is not always as beautiful as described in poems, and often brings local disasters. The poet Xu Shuxin also gave an apt description of summer thunderstorm weather in his poem "In Summer Rain": "I sit on the stage in the hot summer breeze, frogs croak and cicadas chirp in the dust. Thunderbolts in the blue sky and golden gongs sound, and cold rain falls on my face like money."Heavy rain <br /> In most cases, during the "Summer Solstice", the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Jianghuai River Basin are in the plum rain season, and heavy rain frequently occurs, which is easy to cause flood disasters and even threaten people's lives and property. Attention should be paid to strengthening flood prevention work. Plum Rain in Jianghuai <br /> The summer solstice is the "plum rain" season in the Jianghuai area. This is the time when the plums in the south of the Yangtze River are ripe. The air is very humid. Cold and warm air masses meet here and form a low-pressure trough, resulting in continuous rainy weather. In such weather, objects will become moldy, people will feel uncomfortable, some mosquitoes will reproduce very quickly, and some intestinal pathogens will easily breed. At this time, you should pay attention to the hygiene of drinking water, try not to eat raw or cold food, and prevent the occurrence and spread of infectious diseases. Hot weather <br /> The summer solstice, like the winter solstice, is a solar term that reflects the change of seasons. Astronomically speaking, the summer solstice marks the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. After the summer solstice, although the sun's direct point begins to move gradually southward from the Tropic of Cancer, the daytime in the Northern Hemisphere begins to gradually shorten, and the altitude of the sun at noon also begins to decrease day by day for the Tropic of Cancer and the areas to its north, the temperature will continue to rise for a period of time in the future because the heat radiated by the sun to the ground is still greater than the heat dissipated by the ground to the air. Therefore, there is a saying that "the summer solstice will not be hot unless it is too late." Characteristics of the Summer SolsticeIn ancient China, the summer solstice was divided into three stages: "The first stage is when the deer's antlers fall off; the second stage is when the cicadas start to sing; the third stage is when the summer solstice grows." Although elk and deer belong to the same family, the ancients believed that one is yin and the other is yang. A deer's horns grow forward, so they are yang. On the summer solstice, yin energy is born and yang energy begins to decline, so the yang antlers begin to fall off. The elk belongs to the Yin element, so their horns fall off on the winter solstice. Male cicadas begin to flap their wings and chirp after the summer solstice because they feel the growth of Yin energy. Pinellia ternata is a shade-loving herb, and it gets its name because it grows in swamps or paddy fields in midsummer. It can be seen that in the hot midsummer, some shade-loving organisms begin to appear, while positive organisms begin to decline. |
