Click on Mr. Shui Mo to learn more.What does the Great Heat solar term mean?The "Shu" in Dashu means hot, so Dashu represents extremely hot weather.Like Lesser Heat, Greater Heat is a festival that reflects the degree of summer heat. But Lesser Heat represents a mild heat, while Greater Heat represents a severe heat. "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" says: "Summer means heat, which can be divided into small and large heat. The beginning of the month is small, the middle of the month is large, and the heat now is still large." This is also described in the phenological characteristics of the Great Heat. During this period of time, the temperature is high and humid, and even the speed at which plants decay increases. Is the Great Heat the hottest time of the year?The Great Heat usually falls in the middle stage of the dog days, which is the hottest period of the year.The ancient Chinese divided the Great Heat into three stages: "The first stage is when rotten grass turns into fireflies; the second stage is when the soil is moist and the heat is humid; the third stage is when heavy rains come." The Great Heat solar term falls around the middle of the "dog days" and is the hottest and warmest period of the year. During the Great Heat period, most parts of China enter the hottest period of the year. Except for the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the northern part of Northeast China, the weather in most areas is hot, generally reaching 35°C, and sometimes even exceeding 40°C, and the temperature difference across the country is not large. However, there are a few areas where the Lesser Heat is hotter than the Greater Heat, such as Shijiazhuang, Harbin, Yinchuan, Urumqi in the north, Kunming, Lhasa, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Haikou in the south, while the temperatures in Hohhot and Nanning are similar during the Lesser Heat and Greater Heat. Therefore, the Great Heat is not the absolute hottest time, but it is the hottest in most areas. Do you want to know your own Bazi? Want to figure out where your golden marriage is?
