Summer Solstice

The Summer Solstice, or Xiazhi, falls on June 21 this year. On this day, the Northern Hemisphere sees the longest day of the year. At this time, all things flourish, and, according to Chinese folklore, male sika deer shed their old antlers to begin a new growth cycle. Farmers in northern China get busy with summer sowing and field management, while the south enters the plum rain season. Midsummer thus arrives, filling the world with warmth and vitality.
