The Twenty-Four Solar Terms at the Soup House | Minor Heat

Every year, from July 6 to 8, when the Sun reaches a celestial longitude of 105°, the solar term “Xiaoshu” (Minor Heat) begins. Xiaoshu is the eleventh of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms. According to the “Collection and Explanation of the Seventy-Two Hou in the Monthly Ordinances,” “Xiaoshu falls in the sixth month; ‘shu’ means heat, and within this heat we distinguish between ‘small’ and ‘great.’ At the beginning of the month it is ‘small,’ but now the heat is still mild.” With the onset of Xiaoshu, the “plum rain” season in the Jianghuai region draws to a close—marking the end of the plum rains. Meanwhile, on July 11, the first period of the Dog Days begins, heralding the height of summer’s intense heat.
