Four ancient poems of the summer festival, understand the three summer weather, fireflies flying, the summer solstice, the rainstorm coming
When is the hottest, geographical meteorological knowledge tells you that the northern hemisphere is the Seventh and August of the Gregorian calendar, when the sun is moving south, but the temperature and heat accumulated by the earth reach the highest value in the air at this time. The ancient Chinese also had a set of precision calculation methods, that is, to calculate the movement of the sun, dividing the four seasons, and the yellow longitude was 120 degrees, marked as the summer of the solar terms, which corresponded to the hottest July in the Gregorian calendar. The summer solstice is 15 days, usually in June in the lunar calendar and at the end of July and the beginning of August in the Gregorian calendar.
Although the summer is the solar terms of the lunar calendar, spanning fifteen days, but the ancient solar terms are the crystallization of thousands of years of agricultural social experience, the so-called summer, is the hottest weather period, and this hot day is naturally different from other periods of change in the phenomenon, called the three weather, is three objective phenomena.

On July 31, 2019, lotus flowers bloomed in a lotus pond in Xidi Ancient Village, Yi County, Huangshan City.
First, the rotting grass is a firefly.
Some people say that this is typical ignorance, fireflies are fireflies, are insects, how can they be grassy?
It is true that the ancients did not understand fireflies, but this sentence is not necessarily all wrong. Because of this season, high temperature and high humidity, many grasses and trees will grow and rot rapidly due to exposure and rain, and the water is moist, breeding mosquitoes and other small insects. Among them are fireflies.
Fireflies often appear in the late summer and early autumn nights, and often flock to lush swamps as a habitat for breeding, so rotting grass and fireflies have become an animal and plant phenomenon different from other periods.
"Fortunately, with the steaming power of the fire, the grass was moved."
The night can take self-illumination, and the dark room can be compatible.
The rain lane is obscure, and the wind curtain is chaotic.
Linshu Fang Rulai, lest there be a singing leech. "The Song Dynasty is strong enough to "Firefly"
The poem is written as a firefly. Because of the hot weather, there are flocks of fireflies on the rotting grass. The most beautiful thing about fireflies is that they can glow on their own at night, fly to a dark place, and can also become a small light source. It's just that if it rains, the light will dim, and if there is wind, the fireflies will fly around.
Some people collect fireflies to study in books, which is pure fun, because the light of fireflies does not last long, and it is easy to be eaten by other insects.
The poem is actually quite realistic, and does not emphasize that fireflies are grassy, but only says that they can only be seen in times and places where there is steaming and grass in the heat.
Hot steaming is the time when fireflies appear. This period of time is often the summer heat.
Second, the second phenology of the summer is the soil moist summer.
How to interpret these four words? The focus is on "溽".
Soil is moist land, soil moist. The summer season is hot and rainy, this humidity is very thorough, the soil itself is wet, most suitable for medium and large grass and tree crops to grow. Summer is the most abundant time for vegetables and fruits.
Summer, we know, is the heat.
So what is the summer heat? Originally "humiliation", the "humiliation" refers to the repeated cultivation of the summer, and later evolved into the meaning of repeatedly exerting negative forces, such as humiliation. Then add three points of water, that is, the kind of wetness that is repeatedly soaked.
The connection between hot and humidity is high temperature and high humidity.
The characteristics of the summer festival are not only high temperature but also high humidity. The air is saturated with humidity, as in a steamer.
"The east wind blows the wind, and the swimming fish haunt the world."
With the soup up and down yu xinxin, do not know the river Han Qingliangjin.
The old knows not to plant new skills, and the blossoms and fruits should have a tasty.
After a cold and summer chat, there is a way and not a god. "Song Suru's "Summer Fever"
Su Shi's younger brother Su Rui was also a famous poet and writer, so he had a precise description of the summer heat.
The wind blew the big soup pot and began to blow fire under the soup pot, and the people of the world were like fish in the soup pot, swimming around with the heat wave and could not escape. In such a state, people can only remain optimistic, because you can't experience the other cool world, and even if you know, you can't swim out.
Heaven and earth oven, air like hot water, people like hot fish. This is the somatosensory characteristic of the summer.
Poor me, I haven't been far away for ten years, this summer is still hovering on the line of life and death, waiting for this summer to pass, I will definitely teach you the experience of surviving.
Then this kind of high temperature and high humidity weather is the biggest test for the old, weak, sick and disabled. Many people have a decline in physical resistance, and in this weather, they are prone to heat stroke, and even aggravate the underlying disease, resulting in incurable diseases.
Therefore, it is particularly important to maintain the heart and health during the summer festival.
The characteristics of this poem are written with an appropriate sense of body, the hot water swimming fish in the hot summer life.
Fish eat lotus flowers
Third, the third phenology is heavy rain. Even heavy rainstorms.
On the one hand, the water vapor cyclone entrained from the ocean, under such high temperature weather, goes deep inland, forming a strong summer rainfall, with rapid and abundant rainfall, which is beneficial to summer plant crops, but it is also prone to floods and waterlogging.
Second, near the city, because of the high temperature, it is easy to form a short and strong convective rain.
"There was a thunder at the bottom of the tourist's feet, and the stubborn clouds could not be lifted.
The black wind outside the sky blows the sea, and the rain in eastern Zhejiang comes across the river.
Very delicate and convex, a thousand rods beating the drum of karma.
Arouse who immortal spring sprinkles noodles, pour the fish room to pour qiong gems. "Song Dynasty Su Shi "Youmeitang Rainstorm"
Su Shi's song is in the summer in Wushan, Zhejiang, youmeitang, experienced a typhoon rain. Zhejiang is near the sea, the clouds on the sea press against the mainland, the black wind blows the sea, the waves stand upright, and then the clouds fly across the river with rain. In this process, there is still a sun in the sky, but because the clouds are huge, the sunlight has set a golden edge on the clouds, some of which are briefly bright, and then a heavy rain like a dense drum beat pours down.
This rainstorm was so great that the people standing near the door washed their faces like spring water, and the rain flowed down like qiong yao beautiful jade in the sky.
Rain only has a white color until it is heavy. Of course, in open places, there may be intermittent sun rain in the clouds.
In terms of the visual breadth of the poem, this is the forward of the typhoon cyclone at sea, pushing inland across the sea and across the river.
But another poem by Su Shi is written about the convective rain of the Summer Festival in the West Lake, which is very famous.
"The black clouds turned over the ink and did not cover the mountains, and the white rain jumped into the boat randomly."
The wind blows away suddenly, and the water under the lake is like the sky. Su Shi's "June 27th Wanghulou Drunken Book · Part I"
This is a strong thunderstorm caused by temperature convection during the summer season in the West Lake, and the scope is concentrated in the West Lake and near the West Lake. Su Shi was on the boat in the West Lake, when he suddenly saw a huge black cloud rising from the top of the mountain, and then the cloud quickly pressed overhead and turned into a white rainstorm, and the torrential rain hit the boat, as if white beads jumped into the boat.
But the rain came and went quickly, and when a gust of wind came, the convective clouds had already relieved their pressure, the wind blew the clouds, and the rain passed through the sky. Such rain tends to occur in fixed places, with fixed time periods.
For example, cities are mostly at dusk, which is the heat island effect.
The rain in the summer season is certainly credit for alleviating the heat, but excessive rain also tends to form flood disasters.
Often July and August are also close to the river and the sea, a difficult period of drought and flood resistance. So the summer is solar, the water and fire are merciless, and the water is deep and hot. It is necessary to maintain a good sense of optimism to avoid the heat, but also to prevent drought and flood disasters, and we must not take it lightly.
However, there are changes in the year, and after the summer, the cool autumn is not far away. At this time, we must maintain enough endurance and good mood to spend this hot summer and hot summer safely!
