The south of the green Huaimen Lane is fine, and I listen to the first sound of the new cicada. As April comes to an end, it's time to wave goodbye to spring, get in good shape, and welcome the arrival of summer. In ancient times, when the beginning of summer coincided, people would celebrate it as a traditional festival to welcome the arrival of summer, and also pray for the safe growth of crops and a good harvest.
The beginning of summer is the first solar term of summer, and it is not officially summer, and from the meteorological point of view, it still needs to go through a transition period before it can be regarded as summer in the real sense. And this period is very important for us, during this period, we can make more adjustments, on the one hand, we must seize the time to take supplements, prepare for the hot summer, and at the same time, gradually adapt to the summer climate, so that the body does not suffer from the rapid changes in the environment.
