Entering summer is one of the twenty-four solar terms in China lunar calendar, which indicates the change of temperature and the adjustment of people's life. In summer, the temperature began to drop, but it was still hot for a while. During this period, the heat on the earth gradually decreased, and the growth of plants entered the harvest season. Summer is the second solar term in autumn and the fourteenth solar term among the twenty-four solar terms.

After the summer heat, the direct point of the sun continued to move southward, the solar radiation weakened, the subtropical high retreated southward, and the summer heat gradually disappeared. Thunderstorm activity is not as active as summer, and the general trend of rainstorm in all parts of the country is weakened. There are many folk activities in summer, such as eating ducks, setting off river lanterns, opening fishing festivals, decocting medicinal tea and offering sacrifices to the land.

Agricultural activities in summer

In summer, most parts of southern China are in the busy season of harvesting mid-season rice. Generally, during the summer solar term, the sunshine in South China is still abundant. Except for the western part of South China, there are not many rainy days, which is beneficial to mid-season rice cutting cotton and spitting. During the summer season, fruits and crops in most areas of China gradually entered the mature stage, and farmers stepped up their picking, seized the farming season, and carried out field management such as rice fertilization and weeding.

"The summer valley is getting yellow, be careful of the strong wind." After summer, the temperature difference between day and night increases. Because the night is cold and the day is warm, the nutrients absorbed by the crops during the day are stored at night, so the crops mature quickly. "The fields change overnight in summer", "There is no valley for three days in summer", "Three Dynasties of rice in summer" and "Summer rice is full of fields, and everyone repairs warehouses", all of which indicate that the crops will be harvested soon after the summer solar term.
