According to the Kezun Xiandu Manuscript, "When the sun reaches its northernmost point, the day is at its longest and the shadow is at its shortest, so it is called the Summer Solstice. 'Zhi' means 'extreme'. In other words, the name Summer Solstice only represents the day of the Summer Solstice and the solar term, indicating that the hot summer is coming.2. On the summer solstice, the sun reaches its northernmost point in the year, almost directly above the Tropic of Cancer. The daylight in the Northern Hemisphere is longest, and the further north you go, the longer the daylight becomes. 3. The summer solstice every year starts on June 21st (or 22nd) and ends on July 7th (or 8th). Summer Solstice, also known as "Summer Festival" or "Summer Solstice Festival". In ancient times, on the summer solstice, people offered sacrifices to gods and prayed for the elimination of disasters and a good harvest. 4.

In the seventh century BC, our ancestors used a gnomon to measure the sun's shadow and determined the summer solstice. According to the Kezun Xiandu Manuscript, "When the sun reaches its northernmost point, the day is at its longest and the shadow is at its shortest, so it is called the summer solstice. 'Zhi' means the extreme."On the summer solstice, the sun reaches its northernmost point of the year, almost directly above the Tropic of Cancer (23°26' north latitude). This is the day with the longest daylight throughout the year in the northern hemisphere, and the higher the latitude, the longer the daylight. For example, the day length in Haikou, Hainan is a little over 13 hours, in Hangzhou it is 14 hours, in Beijing it is about 15 hours, and in Mohe, Heilongjiang it can reach more than 17 hours. North of the Arctic Circle, the sun stays above the horizon all day, making it the day with the longest polar day in the Northern Hemisphere. At the same time, 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. In the Beijing area, the sun's altitude at noon on the summer solstice reaches 73°32′. On this day, the Northern Hemisphere receives the most solar radiation, nearly twice as much as the Southern Hemisphere. It is midwinter in the Southern Hemisphere at this time.
