So what time is the summer solstice in 2020, and how many days are there in the summer solstice? The fifth month of the lunar calendar belongs to midsummer, when everything is growing at its peak. What should we pay attention to in the fifth month of the lunar calendar in 2020? Let’s take a look at the special topic of May 2020 on the Shuimoxiansheng website.What time is the summer solstice in 2020?2020 Summer Solstice starts at 05:43:33 on Sunday, June 21, 2020The summer solstice was also called "Summer Festival" or "Summer Solstice Festival" in ancient times. The ancients said: "The day is at its longest and the shadow is at its shortest. 'Summer Solstice' means the extreme, so it is called the summer solstice." The summer solstice occurs when the sun reaches 90° of the ecliptic longitude, which usually occurs on June 21-22 of the Gregorian calendar. On the summer solstice, the sun shines directly over the Tropic of Cancer, and the daylight hours in all parts of the Northern Hemisphere are the longest of the year. For areas on and north of the Tropic of Cancer, the summer solstice is also the day when the sun is highest at noon in the year. The Summer Solstice is one of the 24 solar terms and is also a festival among the “Four Seasons and Eight Festivals” among the ancient people. Since ancient times, there has been a custom of worshiping gods and ancestors during the Summer Solstice. "Heaven and earth are the basis of life; ancestors are the basis of mankind." Heaven and earth are the basis of life, ancestors are the basis of mankind, and ancestor worship is a custom that passes on filial piety. In addition, there are folk customs such as "eliminating the summer heat and avoiding the dog days" and "clearing and nourishing the body" during the summer solstice. How many days are there in the summer solstice?The so-called "Geng Day" is a method of using the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches to record days, which is similar to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches calendar. "Geng" is one of the 10 Heavenly Stems, and the date beginning with Geng is a "Geng Day", for example, Geng Yin Day is exactly 10 days away from the next "Geng Day".The "Three Fu" seasons have a long history, dating back to the Qin and Han Dynasties. From 776 BC to the present, the "ganzhi calendar" has been popular in my country, that is, one character is taken from each of the heavenly stems (jia, yi, bing, ding, wu, ji, geng, xin, ren, and gui); and one character is taken from each of the earthly branches (zi, chou, yin, mao, chen, si, wu, wei, shen, you, xu, and hai) to get sixty groups of different names such as jiazi, yichou, bingyin, etc. to record the days, and any day with the character "geng" is called "geng day". Summary: The summer solstice is 10 days long! Summer Solstice Customs: Eating Wontons“Eating wontons will keep you from getting prickly heat.” People in the Jiangnan region pay attention to eating wontons on the summer solstice. It is said that eating wontons can make the summer less bitter and help people spend a healthy life. According to legend, every year during the summer solstice, the imperial chefs in the Song Dynasty court would make summer solstice wontons for the emperor, empress, and concubines to eat. There was even a famous noodle dish called "Mangzhong Wontons" in the Song Dynasty court.Although wontons are a snack, they have great significance. In some parts of the south, wontons are used to entertain distinguished guests. When a mother-in-law gets married, marries off a daughter, celebrates an elder’s birthday, or a child’s full moon, she always eats wontons when entertaining the new son-in-law. Especially during Chinese New Year, every household eats wontons. The eight characters not only affect your fortune, but also have a clear direction for your marriage.
