Because the summer solstice is when the sun is at 90° longitude. That is to say, on the summer solstice, the sun is directly above the Tropic of Cancer. In the Northern Hemisphere, the sun reaches its highest position of the year at noon. Therefore, on the day of the summer solstice, the days are longest and the nights are short in the Northern Hemisphere, with the longest day and the shortest night. From this day on, the hot season begins, and all things in the world grow most vigorously at this time. What does the summer solstice mean?The meaning of the summer solstice is that the heat is coming, which means that the hot summer is about to come.The summer solstice was also called "Summer Festival" or "Summer Solstice Festival" in ancient times. In the seventh century BC, our ancestors used a gnomon to measure the sun's shadow and determined the summer solstice. The summer solstice is the earliest solar term to be determined among the 24 solar terms. The summer solstice begins on June 21st (or 22nd) every year and ends on July 7th (or 8th). Do we worship our ancestors during the summer solstice?There is a custom of ancestor worship during the summer solstice, but not all regions require ancestor worship during the summer solstice.The summer solstice is the time of wheat harvest. Since ancient times, people have celebrated the harvest and worshipped their ancestors at this time to pray for the elimination of disasters and a good harvest. Therefore, the summer solstice was incorporated into the ancient rituals of worshiping gods as a festival. "The Book of Zhou: Spring Officials" states: "When the summer solstice comes, bring local animals and demons." In the Zhou Dynasty, offering sacrifices to gods at the summer solstice was meant to eliminate famine, hunger and death. The summer solstice falls after the wheat harvest, and farmers thank God for the good harvest and pray for "autumn rewards." Around the summer solstice, some places hold a grand "summer wheat harvest" ceremony, which is a remnant of the ancient "summer sacrifice" activity. So, there is a custom of ancestor worship during the summer solstice, but not all regions require ancestor worship during the summer solstice. |
