Reading guide: Today's beginning of summer, "early summer is cold", is this year early or late summer? What is the basis? Is this summer hot or not?
The beginning of summer, the beginning of spring, the beginning of autumn, and the beginning of winter, this is the key moment or sign of the change of the four seasons of the year, representing the arrival of a new season.
"The beginning of summer sees summer, the beginning of autumn sees autumn", once these two solar terms are reached, the weather or the appearance characteristics of plants are particularly obvious. However, the beginning of spring or the beginning of winter has not seen spring coming, or winter has arrived, so people attach great importance to the two solar terms of the beginning of summer and the beginning of autumn.
The beginning of summer is the 7th solar term of the 244th solar term, and it is also the first solar term of summer, which is the 45 degrees of the yellow longitude of the sun's operation, and the bucket finger is in the southeast position, which arrives on May 5~7 every year, and the seasonal festival at the turn of spring and summer is carried out at this time.
The almanac says that "Dou refers to the southeast dimension, for the beginning of the summer, all things have grown up so far, so the name is the beginning of the summer." "When it comes to the beginning of summer, everything flourishes. After the beginning of summer, the light increases, photosynthesis increases, the temperature rises rapidly, the thunderstorms increase, the rainfall is abundant, and the rainy season begins. The arrival of the beginning of summer marks the beginning of the season of crazy growth, and the temperature of the lush plants is of course soaring to the scorching summer temperature.
In ancient times, Lixia was divided into three waitings, one waiting for the mole to sing, the second waiting for the earthworm to come out, and the third waiting for the king melon to grow. It means that in this solar term, you can first hear the chirping of moles in the field, some say that it is the chirping of frogs, and then you can see earthworms digging in the ground, and then the vines of the king gourd begin to climb and grow rapidly.
In the Lixia solar term, many places have folk customs such as welcoming summer, eating "Lixia rice", fighting eggs and eating eggs, Lixia weighing people, "tasting three new", and Lixia health preservation.
According to the law of the sun's movement, the beginning of summer is divided into early and late summer, what is the basis?
The ancients divided the beginning of summer into early and late beginning of summer on two main grounds:
There is an important point in time here, and that is 12 noon. If the beginning of summer comes between 0:00 a.m. and 12 noon, it is called early Lixia, and after 12 noon and 24:00 at night, it is called late Lixia. This is generally recognized by everyone!
Lixia talks about a solar term in the fourth month of the lunar calendar in the almanac, after all, there are two solar terms in a month, so the two solar terms in the fourth month of the lunar calendar are Lixia and Xiaoman.
However, due to the difference of 11 days per year between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar, the time of the beginning of summer in the lunar calendar is uncertain. After all, the 24 solar terms such as the beginning of summer are formulated according to the laws of the sun's movement, so the solar calendar time is basically fixed, but it is much worse for the lunar time.
The lunar time of the beginning of summer is in the late third month of the lunar calendar, and it is in the middle and early April of the lunar calendar, but the beginning of summer will never be postponed to the second half of the fourth lunar month.
Therefore, according to the month, the arrival of the beginning of summer in the late third month of the lunar calendar is called the early beginning of the summer, and the arrival of the fourth month of the lunar calendar is called the late beginning of the summer.
What time is the beginning of summer in 2024?
The beginning of summer in 2024 will be at 8:09:51 a.m. on May 5, 2024 in the solar calendar, and the time of the lunar calendar will be March 27.
According to the basis of the ancients' division of the beginning of summer into morning and evening beginning of summer, the beginning of summer in 2024 is before 12 noon, and it is the late third month of the lunar calendar, so 2024 is the early beginning of summer as the old man said, and this statement also has a certain basis.
The rural proverb: "The early autumn is cold, and the late autumn is hot and the cow dies", which means that the earlier the autumn becomes, the cooler the next dog days, that is, the summer comes earlier, and the autumn will come sooner. The later the beginning of autumn comes, the slower the cold air recedes, but every summer, so the later the temperature rises, and the less rain falls, which means that this dog day is hotter, that is, this summer is hotter.
What are the signs of early summer? What do you say about the proverb in the countryside?
The beginning of summer is at the beginning of the month, the sky is sauna, the beginning of summer is in the middle of the month, the three dogs wear the jacket, the beginning of summer is at the end of the month, and the fan is thrown away in June!
The beginning of summer is at the head of the moon, and the sky is sauna;
This proverb describes that the beginning of summer has a certain prediction at the time of the lunar month, mainly to predict the degree of cold and warm in the following summer.
The beginning of summer is in the middle of the month, and the three dogs wear the jacket;
The beginning of summer will arrive in the first half of April of the lunar calendar, which will indicate that the next three dog days will be very hot, sweating like a sauna. The feeling of a sauna is used here as a metaphor for how hot it will be this summer.
The beginning of summer arrives in the middle of April in the lunar calendar, indicating that the next dog days will become cooler. After all, the beginning of summer came too late, and the warm and humid airflow from the south directly met the cold airflow from the north, so that a wide range of effective rainfall was formed, and the long-term dog days rainfall would make the dog days cooler, after all, the rain evaporation would take away the heat from the surface, and it would be cool on dog days. Wearing a padded jacket is used here to represent the metaphor of dog days.
The beginning of summer is at the end of the month, and the fan is lost in June!
The beginning of summer will come in the second half of the third month of the lunar calendar, that is, at the end of the month of March, which will herald the dog days of June, and there is no need to use a fan, which is very cool.
Every year is the hottest time in the sixth month of the lunar calendar, and the coldest time in the lunar month, so the ancients were not in the sixth month of the lunar month!
In ancient times, there were no electric fans or air conditioners, so when it was particularly hot, you could only use a fan to fan it, which could make the air flow fast, bring a trace of coolness, take away the heat on the surface of the body, and feel a little cool.
What are the signs of early summer this year?
This year is the beginning of summer at the end of the third month of the lunar calendar, which belongs to the early beginning of summer, which indicates that this year's summer is relatively cool.
In fact, there is some truth in this statement. Because the El Niño phenomenon ends in April ~ May this year, La Niña will occur immediately afterward, which will bring a lot of rain to the mainland, and it will rain more in summer, which will make the summer cooler. Because the characteristics of pulling you are hurricanes, squalls, blizzards, and cold winters!
Some people also say that this year, from the beginning of summer to the southeast, the old dragon is trapped in the deep pool, and from the beginning of summer, from the northwest, the carp flies to the house. This year, the northwest wind starts in the summer, it is not hot, and there is a lot of rain!
This year belongs to the early beginning of summer, is it hot or not? Only after we have gone through it can we verify the predictions of the ancients! The final answer can only wait and see, and I hope that this year's summer will not be too hot, after all, the secondary disasters brought about by global warming are particularly serious!
But I don't want the summer to be particularly hot, but not hot is also not good for the growth of crops, as the saying goes, "the cold is not cold, the grains are not abundant, the heat is not hot, the grains are not fruitful", that is to say, when it is hot in the summer, it must be warmed up, which is conducive to the growth of crops, and is also conducive to the photosynthesis of crops.
