The summer solstice will be at 17:14 on June 21.
The summer solstice, the tenth of the twenty-four solar terms,
At this time, the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Cancer,
It is the longest day in the Northern Hemisphere.
The day is late, and the beauty of the day is also pulled long:
"Get up in the morning, lie down and wake up the shadows of the flowers, and walk on the mountains and streams."
In the afternoon, small lychees, pu fan light.
At dusk, the residual clouds collect the heat, and the moon reaches the heart of heaven.
Nothing to sit on, just in time for the child scoundrel,
Fluttering fireflies, a few days of stars. ”
A corner of the summer solstice
Hold a stroke of innocence, draw a corner of fireworks, and give you a fun side.

Excerpt from "The Whispering and Shouting of the Festivals"
In ancient times, the summer solstice day was revered as the "summer festival" or "summer solstice festival". Hundreds of officials take a holiday and enjoy themselves with the people. In addition to peach, plum, melon and cold powder, there are also noodles on the table, eat noodles for a long time, and the long noodles may also hint at the long day of the summer solstice. Women send each other some fans, sachets and green-shelled duck eggs or something, and there is no indemnity to each other.
In midsummer, green pervades all spaces. The branches of the big trees are luxuriant, the birds are clear, but it is difficult to find their figures when you look up. Those big trees grew too dense and lush, the sun was difficult to shine, and the trees were always moist. The cicadas began to make noise. Through the cracks in the leaves, you can find those cute little ones, all dark and shiny, bulging a pair of crab eyes, belly together, clinging to the branches, shouting hot and dry. But when the summer solstice is less than a year old, about twenty or thirty days later, it is the hottest barbecue day.
The small workshop for making noodles is busy all day, and the courtyard with good sunshine is lined with rows of noodle shelves, and the noodle shelves are inserted with long bamboo chopsticks, which hang and pull noodles as thin as strings, which look like a fluttering handmade cloth from a distance. The noodles with red paper heads are gifts that can be given to relatives and friends, congratulations on new homes, confinements, birthdays and many other festive occasions.
The summer solstice arbutus is full of red mountains. The arbutus is purple-red, the flesh is silky, and the core of the fruit is tightly wrapped radially, looking like a bloody dan, which is tempting. In particular, there is a wild arbutus, which is less than a little larger than the fingernail cover, and is full and dark due to overripe, emitting a feminine and feminine sweet smell. Only pick those purple but still hard to throw into the mouth, the teeth knock off the flesh, sip a mouthful of sweet and sour plum juice.
Although the plum is not a good fruit for the entrance, it is a good candied raw material, which can be made into a candied plum, and can also be made into bayberry bubble wine, the juice penetrates into the liquor, plus the effect of saccharification, the entrance is a little viscous, less intense, and a little more icing on the cake.
"The mango seeds burn the heavens, and the summer solstice fills the fields with water; The southeast wind of the summer solstice holds the boat on the flat ground. The air groups of the two camps of cold and warm are fighting over the Yangtze River Basin, you come and go, do not give in to each other, sometimes out of the sun, sometimes ticking rain. It was damp and stuffy, the utensils were moldy, and the sweat stuck to the body all day and could not dry. What makes many foreigners cry bitterly is the dream-like Huangmeitian of Jiangnan people, from "entering the plum" to "leaving the plum", about twenty days before and after.
The children were unusually excited and active because there were fish everywhere. There are fish jumping in the rice fields, and a big fish jumps up and flashes a silver light, falling here and jumping again there. Take the shrimp hoop to the gap in the flowing water, and after a few minutes, you will see the white and bright fish jumping vigorously. The old farmer with high trouser legs, wearing a bucket hat and a smock, walked on the smokey and rainy field with a polished shovel in his hand, sometimes opening a field here, and sometimes digging a hole in that place.
"Yellow plum season family rain, grass pond everywhere frogs", there is no summer solstice plum rain in Jiangnan, not the real Jiangnan.
The summer solstice is the earliest and longest
What is the earliest?
The summer solstice, one of the earliest of the twenty-four solar terms, was identified. In the 7th century BC, the ancients measured the shadow of the sun with Tugui and found that the day of the "summer solstice", the length of the day and the shortness of the shadow of the sun, all reached the limit of the year, so it was called "summer solstice".
What is the longest?
On the summer solstice, the noonday sun almost directly hits the Tropic of Cancer on The Earth, which is usually immediate, but this time it is immediate. On this day, the northern hemisphere has the longest days, and the further north the day, the longer the day. The amorous man said, "On this day, think of your day as the longest and dream of your night as shortest." ”
Summer Solstice
Summer Solstice Three Seasons: One waits for the "antler solution", the ancients believed that the deer was a mountain beast, belonging to the yang, sensing the germination of yin qi, and the antlers fell off; The second waiting "cicadas begin to sound", with cicadas as the summer sound; Sanhou "half summer life", half summer is a kind of yin herb, because it was born in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the time is "half of summer", so it is called half summer.
The name "half summer" is also a reminder: summer, the past half. Time is too late to bear, has the goal set at the beginning of the year been half achieved?
