Festival introduction
Summer solar terms are in the period of short-term high-temperature weather (autumn tiger), which generally occurs between August and September in the Gregorian calendar. The duration of autumn tigers generally ranges from half a month to two months.
The significance of summer heat in daily life is to remind people that the summer heat is gradually disappearing and the weather is turning from hot to cold, so we should pay attention to preventing "autumn dryness". There are many folk activities in summer, such as eating ducks, setting off river lanterns, opening fishing festivals, decocting medicinal tea and offering sacrifices to the land.
