Does the summer solstice mean the arrival of summer? Is it the first day of the dog days?
The word "zhi" itself means arrival, so does the arrival of the summer solstice mean the arrival of summer? The fifth month of the lunar calendar in 2022 is a long month, so this month has thirty days. Shuimo.com has compiled the do’s and don’ts for each day of this month. Let’s take a look.Does the summer solstice mean the arrival of summer?The summer solstice does not mean that summer is coming, but that the hottest summer has arrived. The "xia" in "summer solstice" means summer, and "zhi" means extreme, which here means hot. After the summer solstice, the temperature will gradually rise and become hotter day by day. The summer solstice is the day with the longest daylight in the year, but after this day, the daylight hours in the Northern Hemisphere will gradually shorten.The summer solstice is in the middle of summer, which is noon, and noon is yang. Although the yang energy is stronger and the daytime is the longest at the summer solstice, it is not necessarily the hottest day of the year because the heat close to the surface is still accumulating and has not reached its peak. After the summer solstice, the ground heats up strongly, air convection is vigorous, and thunderstorms are prone to form. The summer solstice is one of the 24 solar terms and in ancient times was also a folk festival among the "four seasons and eight festivals". Since ancient times, people have had the custom of worshiping gods and ancestors during the summer solstice. In addition, after the summer solstice, people generally consume refreshing soup, herbal tea, sour plum soup, etc. to avoid the heat. Is it the first day of the dog days?The period after the summer solstice is not the three hottest days of the year, and the summer solstice is not the first day of the first hottest days of the year. It will take some time after the summer solstice before the hottest days of the year begin. The specific time of the beginning of the hottest days of the year should be calculated from the third Geng day after the summer solstice. The temperature begins to rise after the summer solstice. Moreover, the summer solstice is the time of the year when the day is the longest and the night is the shortest. From the summer solstice, the daytime begins to get longer, the ground absorbs more solar energy than usual, the temperature near the ground will become higher and higher, and we will gradually enter the dog days of summer.When do the dog days of summer begin and end?The dog days occur between the Lesser Heat and the End of Heat, and are the hottest, most humid and stuffy days of the year. That is to say, it starts with the Lesser Heat solar term. The climate characteristics of the "dog days" are high temperature, low air pressure, high humidity and low wind speed. It is the hottest time of the year. This is because the days in summer are longer than the nights, and the daytime hours are long, and the sunshine time is also long. The heat absorbed by the surface is much greater than the expenditure, which makes the heat accumulated in the ground increase day by day, and the temperature continues to rise. In midsummer, that is, during the dog days of summer, the accumulation of surface heat reaches its peak. There is a lot of rain in summer and the air humidity is high. The heat capacity of water is much greater than that of dry air, which is also one of the major reasons for the hot weather. |
