This passage comes from the ancient classic "Book of Rites", which is full of childlike fun like a children's song, and mothers may wish to teach their babies to recite it. The ancients divided the summer solstice into three waits, every 5 days is one wait, one waits for the antlers to be solved, the second waits for the cicadas to start singing, and the third waits for the summer to be born.
1. Antler solution. The antlers of the deer are born forward, so they are yang. On the summer solstice, the yang qi is extremely weak, and the masculine antlers begin to fall off.
2. The cicadas start to chirp. At this time, the cicadas are drumming and singing, the shadows of the trees in the cicadas are extinguished, and the summer days become longer.
3. Half summer life. Half-summer is a wild Herb, and almost halfway through the summer, it is most suitable for collecting tubers underground. Half summer life means that summer has arrived, the sun is like fire, and the shade is difficult to find.
