Solar terms are usually in that season.

Summer is one of the 24 solar terms. Because of the "summer heat", many people will think that summer heat is summer, but it is actually autumn. Midsummer falls on August 23rd or 24th every year, which is a solar term reflecting the temperature change.

After the summer heat, only the northeast and northwest regions really enter autumn. But whenever cold air affects our country, if the air is dry, it will often bring windy weather, and if there is warm and humid airflow in the atmosphere, it will often form a decent autumn rain. After every storm, people will feel more obvious cooling. But in general, the climate in summer is characterized by hot in the daytime, cool in the morning and evening, large temperature difference between day and night, less precipitation and low air humidity.

The custom of summer solar terms:

1, eat duck

"July and a half duck, August and a half duck", the ancients thought that ducks in the middle of July in the lunar calendar were the most fat and nutritious. In summer, old Beijingers will buy lily ducks to cool off the summer, but in Jiangsu, it's so-called "sending ducks to cool off the summer makes everyone sick" to serve a bowl of duck dishes to their neighbors.

2. Worship the land god

The summer solar term coincides with the harvest season of crops, and farmers hold various ceremonies to thank the land god. Some killed animals to worship in the land temple, some planted flags in the middle of the field to express their gratitude, and some didn't wash their feet when they came home from work in the field on this day, for fear of washing away the harvest. On July 15, offering sacrifices to land and crops is still a folk custom. Scatter sacrifices in the fields. After burning the paper, wrap it on the ears of crops with cut five-color paper.
