Long summer, first appeared in the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, Suwen? In recent times, Yun Tieqiao, a famous doctor, said in his book “Qun Jing Zhi Lu”, “The Nei Jing says that the five elements are matched with the five organs, which come from the four seasons of the sky. Hidden there are five, but the time only four, so June for the long summer to match the spleen.” According to Chinese medicine, long summer is the season after summer, when the lunar calendar is in June, which is the end of summer and the beginning of autumn in July and August of the solar calendar, covering the four festivals of Xia Xia, Da Xia, Li Qiu, and Xi Xi Xi.
