Extended data:
First, the meaning analysis of the new characters
The characters are from the inverse province, from the moon. "Inverse" means "going to newcomers". "Inverse" province and "Moon" unite to mean "Welcome the New Moon". Original meaning: new moon. The first day of each month in the agricultural (summer) calendar.
extended meaning: freshman. Born. The starting point (in time and space). Explanation: "New Moon" is the day at the beginning of each month in the summer calendar, which is extended to "birth" and "beginning". For example, "new moon" can refer to early morning, which is the beginning of the day. "Shuofang" means the north, because the north is the place where the sun be the spirit begins and the starting point where the sun be the spirit runs.)
II. Diachronic division
1. Ancient calendar
In the ancient calendar, the twelve months of a year are: Meng Chun, Midspring, Ji Chun, Meng Xia, Midsummer, The Last Month Of Summer, Mengqiu, Midautumn, Jiqiu.
2. Gregorian calendar
According to the Gregorian calendar, it is probably May in Meng Xia, June in midsummer and July in The Last Month Of Summer. Because the direct point of the sun on the day of the summer solstice is in the Tropic of Cancer, and the summer solstice always falls on June 21st or 22nd of the Gregorian calendar, so June of the Gregorian calendar is midsummer.
