When is it not hot? Thank you for your questions.

According to the traditional lunar calendar in China, it is the hottest time of the year. Even in beginning of autumn (August 8th), there will be twenty-four "autumn tigers". After the summer heat (August 23rd), the temperature will drop slowly, but there may be a high temperature above 35 degrees. Only after early September, the temperature difference between day and night will increase, and even the occasional high temperature will not be as unbearable as it is now. To really say that the weather is not hot, it will be past the autumnal equinox (September 23rd).

Lunar calendar is a traditional calendar in China, also known as lunar calendar, Chinese calendar, summer calendar, Han calendar and national calendar. It is a kind of yin-yang calendar, with the cycle of the moon phase as the month length and the year of the return of the sun as the age. By setting 24 solar terms and leap months, the average calendar year adapts to the tropic year. According to the fact that Emperor Xuanyuan, the ancestor of China, ascended the throne for the first year, this year is the Year of the Rooster (Gregorian calendar 2017.1.28 ~ 2018.02.15). The traditional calendar in China is 2698 years earlier than the western calendar, and the year is +2699.

There are many records about the lunar calendar in ancient books and Oracle Bone Inscriptions, and a large number of historical records record that the lunar calendar began in the era of the Yellow Emperor. It is generally believed that the calendar rule of the integration of yin and yang in the lunar calendar originated from the Shang Dynasty. 19 12 years, China began to adopt the western calendar and the traditional calendar of China. As China people attach importance to traditional culture, the Gregorian calendar year is of great significance to a country and a nation, and more and more people in China support it. During the Republic of China, the People's Daily founded by the League adopted the calendar of the Yellow Emperor. After Wuchang Uprising, Hubei military government also adopted calendar year system. Provincial governments have followed suit. After Sun Wen became the interim president of the Republic of China, he promulgated regulations: the Republic of China changed to the solar calendar, and the first year of the lunar calendar was 4609, that is, 19 1 1 year1month 13, and both calendars were used. As an important carrier of China culture, the lunar calendar has had a far-reaching impact. In 20 15, the National People's Congress proposed to improve the status of China's traditional calendar again, which caused heated discussion in society.

Traditional festivals in China and ethnic minority areas are calculated according to the lunar calendar. Today, most countries and nationalities in the Chinese character cultural circle still follow the traditional festivals of the lunar calendar, such as Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Qixi Festival.
