Analysis of the Three Signs of Great Heat:

The ancients divided the Great Heat into three phases: "The first phase is when rotten grass turns into fireflies; the second phase is when the soil becomes moist and the heat becomes sultry; the third phase is when heavy rains come."
1. The first phase is when rotten grass turns into fireflies: During the Great Heat, fireflies hatch from eggs. The ancients believed that fireflies were transformed from rotten grass. Fireflies are also known as "candle night" and "yao ye". They are poetic insects that welcome the beginning of autumn during the Great Heat. When you use a light silk fan to catch fireflies and see fireflies flying through the quiet night, the cool autumn is actually not far away.
2. The second phase is moist soil and hot weather: the weather starts to become hot and humid, and the land is also very humid. Sultry means wet. During the Great Heat, the humidity is heavy and the heat is unbearable. Liu Xi of the Eastern Han Dynasty said: "Summer is like boiling, with fire below and scorching sun above, steaming the air in between into damp heat. People are like being in a steamer, with extremely dirty air, which is also called 'dirty heat'."
3. The third sign is heavy rain: During the Great Heat season, heavy rain often occurs due to the accumulation of moisture, and there are often big thunderstorms.
