What does midsummer night mean?

Midsummer night is a midsummer night, the night in May of the lunar calendar.

In the ancient calendar, the twelve months of a year are: Meng Chun, Midspring, Ji Chun, Xia Meng, Midsummer, Late Summer, Qiu Meng, Midautumn, Qiu Ji, Mengdong, Midwinter and Jidong.

If the year is divided into four stages on average-spring, summer, autumn and winter, then summer is 1/4 years before and after the midday sun shines directly on the earth; If summer is divided into three unified parts, then Xia Meng, midsummer and the last month of summer are the names of these three parts in chronological order, so midsummer is midsummer.

Extended data:

The second month of summer is called midsummer, that is, May in the lunar calendar and June in the solar calendar, which includes two solar terms, namely, awn seed and summer solstice.

"Ear seed" (June 5th, or 6th and 7th every year) indicates that the summer season with high temperature and high fever is coming. The awn seed is a symbol of the maturity of awned crops such as wheat and a solar term reflecting agricultural phenology.

"Summer" (June 20th, or 2 1 22nd) begins in midsummer and enters the peak of yang. On the solstice of summer, the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Cancer, which is the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, and it takes about 14 hours from sunrise to sunset in the southern region.
