How to read in summer? This is a common question, because there are two ways to pronounce the solar term: chǔshǔ and chùshǔ. Below we will introduce the origin and correct pronunciation of these two pronunciations in detail.

I. chǔshǔ

Chǔshǔ means 15 days after beginning of autumn, starting when the sun reaches 150 degrees, and continuing until the sun reaches 165 degrees. The name of this solar term comes from "twenty-four solar term": "The summer retreat and chill, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, hence the name." It can be understood that the hot summer gradually passed and the cool autumn began to come.

The correct pronunciation method is: the tone of chǔ is the third tone, which reads like "chu" with a falling tone, and the pronunciation is similar to "Chu" in Chinese pinyin; The tone of sh incarnation is the fourth tone, which reads like "shu" with a falling tone, and its pronunciation is similar to "tree" in Chinese pinyin.

Second, chùshǔ

Chùshǔ means 15 days after beginning of autumn, starting when the sun reaches 150 degrees, and continuing until the sun reaches 165 degrees. The name of this solar term comes from the "Three Rites and Moon Orders": "The summer is warm and the wind is warm, and it is also summer." It can be understood that the hot summer reaches its peak and the warm wind begins to blow.

The correct pronunciation method is: chù' s tone is the fourth tone, which reads like "chu" with a falling tone, and the pronunciation is similar to "Chu" in Chinese Pinyin; The tone of sh incarnation is the fourth tone, which reads like "shu" with a falling tone, and its pronunciation is similar to "tree" in Chinese pinyin.
