What does Summer Solstice mean?

The 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.

About the Summer Solstice: The day is longest and the shadow is shortest

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. On the day of the summer solstice, the sun's direct position in the Northern Hemisphere reaches its northernmost point of the year, at the Tropic of Cancer (23°27' north latitude). On this day, the sun's altitude angle in the Northern Hemisphere is the largest, the shadow is the shortest, the day is the longest, and the night is the shortest. And the further north you go, the longer the days.
The summer solstice is the day when the sun is most northerly in the year, the day with the longest daylight hours in the northern hemisphere, and the day when the daylight hours exceed the night hours the most. However, the length of daylight in different places tends to decrease from north to south. This is the effect of longer days and shorter nights caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis of rotation, which is more obvious the closer to poles.
On the summer solstice, the sun's rays will be directly above the Tropic of Cancer. There are "sun-peeping holes" at the five Tropic of Cancer landmarks on the Chinese mainland. People can go there to verify whether the sunlight is shining vertically on the ground at noon on the summer solstice, and the strange sight of "a pole standing without a shadow" will appear. You can visit it in Shantou, Conghua, Fengkai, Guiping and Mojiang respectively.
