In ancient times, on the summer solstice, people offered sacrifices to gods and prayed for the elimination of disasters and a good harvest. "The Book of Zhou: Spring Officials" states: "When the summer solstice comes, bring local animals and demons." In the Zhou Dynasty, offering sacrifices to gods at the summer solstice was meant to eliminate epidemics, famines, and deaths from starvation. The "Book of Fengshan" in the "Records of the Grand Historian" records: "On the summer solstice, sacrifices are made to the earth, and music and dance are performed." The summer solstice is an ancient festival. In the Song Dynasty, it began on the summer solstice, and all officials had three days off. In the Liao Dynasty, "the summer solstice was called the 'Chao Festival', and women presented colorful fans and powder bags to each other as gifts." The Summer Solstice is the earliest festival in China. The whole country has a day off on the summer solstice, and people go home to reunite with their families and drink. The "Book of Rites" also recorded the obvious phenomena related to the summer solstice in nature: "When the summer solstice arrives, deer antlers fall off, cicadas begin to chirp, pinellia grows, and hibiscus blooms." This means that at this time of year you can start cutting deer antlers, cicadas start to chirp, and pinellia and hibiscus gradually flourish and bloom. According to TCM theory, the summer solstice is the time when Yang energy is at its peak. To maintain good health, one must conform to the characteristics of summer when Yang is more abundant outside, pay attention to protecting Yang energy, and focus on the word "long". Will it be hot during the summer solstice in 2019?Although the summer solstice has the longest daylight and the highest sun angle, it is not the hottest time of the year. This is because the heat close to the surface is still accumulating and has not yet reached its peak. As the saying goes, "The heat is in the dog days." The real hot weather is calculated based on the summer solstice and the beginning of autumn. Around mid-July to mid-August, temperatures across China are at their highest, with some areas reaching around 40 degrees.“It’s not hot though at the summer solstice” and “The first day of the dog days is counted three days after the summer solstice.” Although the summer solstice indicates that the hot summer has arrived, the temperature will continue to rise for a period of time after the summer solstice. After about another 20 to 30 days, it will generally be the hottest weather. After the summer solstice, the ground is heated strongly and the air convection is vigorous, so thunderstorms are often formed in the afternoon and evening. This kind of hot thunderstorm comes and goes suddenly, and the rainfall range is small, so people call it summer rain across the fields. As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing that can be controlled is his or her "luck."
