How is the Beginning of Summer solar term calculated?

The recommended calculation method for the beginning of summer is as follows
[Y*D+C]-L
Formula interpretation: Y = the last two digits of the year, D = 0.2422, L = the number of leap years, 21st century C = 5.52, 20th century = 6.318
For example: The date of the beginning of summer in 2088 = [88×0.2422+5.52]-[88/4]=26-22=4, so May 4th is the beginning of summer.
Exception: For the year 1911, add 1 day to the result.

Around the beginning of summer is the season for planting early rice across the country. "It is better to plant seedlings in a full moon than to pull out the weeds in a full moon." The temperature is still relatively low at this time, so management should be strengthened immediately after planting the seedlings, with early top dressing, early weeding, early treatment of diseases and insects, and early development of the seedlings. The sowing of mid-season rice should be completed as soon as possible. The spring shoots of tea trees develop fastest at this time. If you are not careful, the tea leaves will age. As the saying goes, "You can rarely pick tea leaves during Grain Rain, but you can pick them continuously during Beginning of Summer." You must concentrate all your efforts and pick the tea leaves in batches. Dry atmosphere and soil in North China and Northwest China often seriously affect the normal growth of crops. In particular, the dry and hot winds before and after wheat filling and milk maturity are important disastrous weather that lead to reduced production. Timely irrigation is a key measure to combat drought and prevent disasters.
At the beginning of summer, everything flourishes. Summer crops have entered the late growth stage, winter wheat is flowering and filling with grain, and rapeseed is approaching maturity. The harvest of summer crops for the year is basically determined, so there is a saying in the folk saying "The beginning of summer determines the summer." Rice planting and the management of other spring-sown crops have also entered a busy season. During the Beginning of Summer, the main diseases to be prevented and controlled are tomato early blight, gray mold, leaf mold, cucumber downy mildew, bacterial angular leaf spot, eggplant brown streak disease, cotton blight, cowpea rust, root rot, etc. The main pests are cutworms, aphids, cabbage loopers, flea beetles, leaf miners, etc.
