Origin of the Beginning of Summer

According to historical documents, the beginning of summer should have been established around the end of the Warring States Period (around 239 BC).

The Yi Zhou Shu Shi Xun Jie says: "On the day of the beginning of summer, katydids chirp. Five days later, earthworms come out. Five days later, melons grow." That is to say, if you hear katydids and other insects chirping in the ground first, and it is cloudy, thundering and raining, you will find earthworms digging holes in the ground and melon vines growing rapidly. This shows that everything starts to move freely and flourish in early summer, a thriving scene in early summer.
