One of the twenty-four divisions. It is believed that the beginning of summer marks the beginning of the summer season. It is the fourth month of the lunisolar calendar (first half of April), which begins on the day when the sun's ecliptic longitude reaches 45° (May 5th or 6th in the solar calendar) and lasts for about 15 days until the day before Shoman (when the sun's ecliptic longitude reaches 60°, May 21st or 22nd), but in the current calendar it refers to the first day of this period. This is the so-called "green mountain nightingale in the eyes" period, which in ancient China was further divided into three periods (frogs singing, earthworms emerging, and king cucumbers growing), each of which lasts for five days. This refers to the period when green frogs (frogs) sing, earthworms emerge, and cucumbers ripen.

二十四節気の一つ。立夏を迎えて夏の季節が始るとした。太陰太陽暦の四月節 (4月前半) のことで,太陽の黄経が 45°に達した日 (太陽暦の5月5日か6日) に始り小満 (太陽の黄経が 60°,5月 21日か 22日) の前日までの約 15日間であるが,現行暦ではこの期間の第1日目をさす。その頃はいわゆる「目に青葉山ほととぎす」の時期で,昔中国ではこれをさらに5日を一候とする三候 (螻かく鳴,蚯蚓出,王瓜生) に区分した。それは,青がえる (螻かく) が鳴き,みみずがはい出し,からすうりができる時期の意味である。
