Climatic characteristics of long summer solar terms
After the long summer, Jiangnan officially entered the rainy season, and the rainfall and rainy days increased significantly. Continuous rainy days not only caused wet damage to crops, but also caused the prevalence of many diseases. The heading and flowering period of wheat is the most susceptible period to scab. If warm but rainy weather is expected in the future, close attention should be paid to spraying chemicals from the early flowering period to the full flowering period. Cotton in southern China often causes outbreaks of anthracnose, damping-off and other diseases under the weather conditions of continuous rain or sudden warming and cold, resulting in large-scale dead seedlings and lack of seedlings. Necessary measures to increase temperature and reduce humidity should be taken in time, combined with chemical control to protect seedlings and strive for strong seedlings. "There are many kinds of seedlings in the long summer, and more millet is harvested in Man Cang", and it is the red season of early rice transplanting in the north and south of the Yangtze River before and after the long summer. Full-moon seedlings can be planted, but full-moon grass can't be planted. At this time, the temperature is still low. Immediately after planting seedlings, we should strengthen management, topdressing early, ploughing early, controlling pests early and promoting development early. Pay close attention to tail sweeping when sowing mid-season rice. At this time, the spring shoots of tea trees develop fastest. If we ignore them, tea leaves will get old. As the saying goes, "Grain Rain picks less, but doesn't pick it in the long summer", so we should concentrate our efforts and harvest it by surprise in batches.
Before and after the long summer, the temperature in North China and Northwest China rose rapidly, but the precipitation was still not much. In addition, the wind is strong and evaporation is strong in spring. Atmospheric dryness and soil drought often seriously affect the normal growth of crops. Especially, the dry hot wind before and after wheat filling and milk ripening is an important disastrous weather that leads to yield reduction, and timely irrigation is the key measure for drought resistance and disaster prevention. "hoes are everywhere for three days in the long summer", when weeds grow rapidly. "Don't mow the grass for one day, and don't mow it for three days." Intertillage weeding can not only weed, resist drought and prevent waterlogging, but also increase the ground temperature and accelerate the decomposition of soil nutrients, which is of great significance to promote the robust growth of crops such as cotton, corn, sorghum and peanuts at seedling stage.
After the long summer, it is the key period for planting early rice in a large area, and the arrival and amount of rain during this period are closely related to the future harvest. The farmer's proverb says well: "If it doesn't last long in summer, the plow will hang high." "There is no rain in the long summer, and there is no rice in the head." There is also a folk custom, saying that weight is afraid of summer heat. It is said that after weighing this day, you will not be afraid of the heat and lose weight, otherwise you will be troubled by the disease. Jiangxi also has the custom of drinking tea in the long summer, saying that if you don't drink tea in the long summer, you will suffer all summer. As early as ancient times, kings often went out of the city to welcome summer on the first day of summer, and the day to welcome summer was long summer.
"The Book of Rites and the Moon Order" explains the saying of Chang Xia: "When insects come out, melons grow long, and bitter vegetables are obvious." Explain that at this time, frogs began to clamor for the coming of summer, earthworms were busy helping farmers to loosen the soil, and wild vegetables on the ridge were also scrambling to be unearthed. In the morning, when people walk in the countryside, fields and beaches in the early summer sunshine, you will feel the deep affection of nature from this mild sunshine. When you are in the countryside, fields and beaches, you will feel the deep affection of nature from this gentle sunshine.
How does Long Summer nourish his heart?
1, be careful with your life
Huangdi Neijing said: "Xia San Moon is a beautiful month, where heaven and earth are in harmony, everything is flashy, people lie down at night and get up early, and they are insatiable for the sun." After the long summer, the climate changes obviously, so we should go to bed late and get up early to adapt to the changes of yin and yang. At the same time, people should form the habit of taking a nap after a long summer. The nap time varies from person to person. Generally, half an hour to 1 hour is appropriate. Too long will make people listless. Don't be greedy during lunch break, avoid sleeping in the air, and prevent catching a cold and getting sick.
2, clear diet
In summer, the yang is rising, and eating too much greasy and easy-to-get-angry food can cause acne, oral ulcer, constipation and other diseases. It is suggested to drink more milk and eat more soy products, chicken and lean meat, which can not only supplement nutrition, but also achieve the function of strengthening the heart. Usually eat more vegetables, fruits and coarse grains, increase the supply of cellulose, vitamin C and vitamin B, and prevent arteriosclerosis.
3. Slow motion
After the long summer, the temperature rises gradually and it is easy to sweat. Sweat is the liquid of the heart. If you exercise vigorously at this time, it is easy to cause water shortage. Therefore, we should choose slow-paced aerobic exercise such as walking, jogging, playing Tai Ji Chuan, and drink warm water properly after exercise to replenish body fluids. The intensity of activity should not be too tired, and the time should not exceed 1 hour, so as to reduce the heart load and prevent myocardial ischemic attack.
