Is April Fool's Day summer?

Division of four seasons

First kind

The traditional method of dividing the four seasons in China takes four solar terms as the starting point of the four seasons, and bisection and two to one as the midpoint. For example, in spring, the starting point is beginning of spring, the solar line is 3 15, the spring is divided into the midpoint, the long summer is the end point, the solar line becomes 45, and the sun runs 90 on the ecliptic. This is a traditional and commonly used method.

The second type

Astronomical classification (that is, western classification) emphasizes the climatic significance of the four seasons, with the vernal equinox of the sun as the starting point of the four seasons, such as spring as the starting point and summer solstice as the end point. These four seasons are one and a half months later than the traditional four seasons in China.

The third kind

In order to accurately reflect the actual climate situation in various places, climatology is often used to divide the four seasons, that is, the classification of modern scholar Zhang Baokun and the average climate temperature. It is also stipulated that the period when the average temperature is greater than or equal to 22℃ is summer, the period when it is less than or equal to 10℃ is winter, and the period between 10℃ and 22℃ is spring or autumn. According to this standard, the seasons in mid-latitude areas are consistent with the climate, while the temperature changes in low-latitude areas and near the polar regions are not obvious. At the same time, in mid-latitude areas, the length of each season is different. This is the four seasons. For example, Beijing has 55 days in spring, 0/03 days in summer, 50 days in autumn and 0/57 days in winter. This method can be combined with the specific climate and agriculture in various places, so it is widely used.

The fourth kind

According to climate statistics, since 65438+ 10 is generally the most Leng Yue, it is March, April and May in spring, June, July and August in summer, 9 10 in autumn, 165438+ 10 in winter.
