The summer solar term is the hottest time of the year, just before and after the "midsection" of the "dog days". In summer, the sun is like fire, the temperature is high, the humidity is high, and there is much rain. Although it is inevitable to suffer from high temperature and humidity, it is very beneficial to the growth of crops, and crops grow fastest during this period. ?
Since ancient times, there has been a folk custom of drinking herbal tea (tea) in the dog days of midsummer; Fucha, as its name implies, is a kind of tea to drink in dog days. This kind of tea boiled with Chinese herbal medicine has the function of cooling and dispelling summer heat. In addition, there are customs such as burning incense and drying ginger. "Great Summer" is the hottest and wettest season of the year, and the focus of health care at this time is "heatstroke prevention" and "dampness elimination".
The summer heat is the twelfth of the twenty-four solar terms. The weather in Sri Lanka is much stronger than the slight summer heat, so it is called the great summer heat. "Summer heat" is heat, and summer heat is extremely hot. Yi Zhoushu said: "The earth is humid and hot (hot, which means humid and sultry). In five days, when it rains "; He also said, "Heavy rain comes from time to time, and the country is ungrateful." The summer heat is the solar term with the strongest sunshine, the highest temperature and the most thunderstorms in a year. Summer solar terms, high temperature and heat, frequent thunderstorms and abundant rainfall are the seasons when everything grows wildly. "Twenty-four solar terms" said: "Summer heat can be divided into different sizes, with the beginning of the month small and the middle of the month large, which is still hot today." "Tongwei Filial Piety Helps the Gods" said: "The fifteenth day of Xia Hou is not summer, but mid-June. The small ones and the big ones are extremely hot, and they are divided into sizes. It was small at first, and it became big after reading it. "
