Today is the Great Heat of the year according to the 24 solar terms.<\/p>\n
In China, this means that today is the hottest and sunniest day of the year. At this time, the combination of dampness and heat reaches its peak.<\/p>\n
It’s true. Even yesterday, the day before the Great Heat, was very humid. At night, when I cleared my coffee cup from the morning, it seemed to have mold on it.<\/p>\n
Even though it’s one of the most unbearable days for Chinese people,\u00a0our\u00a0culture honours it\u00a0since\u00a0it’s also the time when crops grow the fastest. Different regions have different ways of celebrating it.<\/p>\n
