The Summer Solstice The Summer Solstice is one of the traditional 24 solar terms in China. After the Summer Solstice, it is often sunny then rainy because of strong air convection. Yuxi Liu, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, used a metonymy of this kind of weather in a romantic poesy saying”Sunny in the east while rainy in the west, just like my feelings to you.” When the summer solstice is approaching, the horns fall off from the head of deer; the cicadas are singing; waxberriy and litchi fruit become mature. And people usually enjoy watching stars outside at night, sitting in a cane chair with a fan and chatting. The Summer Solstice is coming, what are the customs in your city? Original:夏至是中国传统的二十四节气之一。夏至以后，空气对流旺盛，天气阴晴不定。中国唐代诗人刘禹锡有一首爱情诗，借喻了这种天气，诗里说：“东边日出西边雨，道是无晴却有情。” 夏至时，鹿的角会脱落，蝉也会开始鸣叫。杨梅和荔枝也成熟了。人们晚上在屋外，坐在藤椅上，摇着蒲扇，一边聊天，一边看星星。 夏至马上就要到了。你们的城市又是怎样的习俗呢？
