(Comics) Good Season for the Beginning of Summer (Horizontal Version) Xinhua News Agency released Cao Yi's work "Rapid winds drive away the rain, residual heat clears the air." At 17:01 Beijing time on August 23, the Chinese New Year will usher in the season of the beginning of summer, marking the gradual entry of autumn in a meteorological sense. At this time, the weather is often "hot at noon and cool in the morning and evening", coupled with occasional rain or two, it can be said that "there is gradually a new cool passing autumn". Tianjin folklore expert and columnist introduced by National Day that Chushu is the 14th solar term among the 24 solar terms and also the second solar term in autumn. Wu Cheng, a scholar of the Yuan Dynasty, wrote in his book "Explanation of the Seventy Two Seasons of the Moon Order": "At this point, the heat energy stops." This means that from the beginning of the heat stroke, the hot summer is about to pass. Chushu can be understood as' one out, one in ', and' out 'is' out'. At this point, the dog days have passed or are approaching the end. This year's heat stroke coincided with the third day after the onset of the ambush; 'Entering' refers to the beginning of autumn. Some people suffer from the scorching heat. For them, although the weather is still hot during the heat season, there are refreshing cool winds blowing in the morning and evening, indicating that autumn is about to come. Tang Dynasty resident Bai Juyi said, "When the clouds disperse in the summer, a cool breeze rises." Song Dynasty resident Su Yi said, "There are no three days to overcome the heat, and the new cool is straight and golden." Song Dynasty resident Xu Ji also said, "Even the yellow warbler loves the new cool, flying over the green mountains to sing in the shadows. The refreshing and refreshing atmosphere brought by this refreshing "new coolness" is particularly vivid. The sky is tiled blue, the light clouds are rolling, the sunlight is transparent, the autumn water is like a mirror, and the atmosphere of heaven and earth is comfortable and pleasant. The great beauty of autumn is slowly spreading out on the northern land. When the wind is still, the grass and insects sing. As the season deepens step by step, the grains ripen day by day, and the land of China is filled with the joy of abundant harvests. Many agricultural proverbs vividly summarize and depict such situations, such as "the sorghum is everywhere red in the summer", "the yellow grain is cut in the three days of summer", "the rice (late rice) is pregnant in the three days of summer, and the cold dew arrives to store the rice", and so on. According to the National Day, as the time is close to Zhongyuan Festival, the folk custom of summer vacation is mostly related to ancestor worship, autumn celebration and harvest, such as setting off river lanterns and worshiping the locust god. Chushu is still a good time for fishing harvest. Coastal areas often hold fishing festivals before and after Chushu to celebrate the end of the fishing ban, and fishermen can go out to sea to catch fish. The four seasons are delightful, and it is best to have a new autumn season. During the summer season, the autumn light is light, the autumn water is clear, and the autumn clouds are elegant. The autumn wind gradually rises, and the charming autumn colors begin to diffuse. It is a good time for autumn outings. It is best to meet family and friends, go outdoors, go to the countryside, climb high and overlook, relax and feel the beauty of the new autumn. (New News Agency)
