大家好，我是来自马来西亚的楚楚。今天，我们迎来了太阳“北漂”的巅峰时刻——夏至。
这一天，我们居住的北半球，昼最长、夜最短。黑龙江漠河的老铁喜提17小时“超长待机”日光浴；北回归线上的汕头、蒙自等地，正午上演“立竿无影”的隐身术。
这些神奇的现象，可都是夏至“限定”。今日过后，太阳开始南移，每天白昼“缩水”2分半，正如古语所云，“吃过夏至面，一天短一线”。
说到古人过夏至，那也是分外讲究，皇帝要“地坛祭日”，百姓也会祭祀祖先。它如同一把丈量光阴的尺子，一头是对天地自然的敬畏，一头是对三餐四季的郑重。
朋友们，夏至已至，愿我们都心怀热望地去追逐光热、向阳而生。
Hey everyone, I’m Chuchu from Malaysia. Today marks a pretty epic moment in the sun’s journey northward—it’s the Summer Solstice!
That means it’s the longest day and the shortest night of the year for those of us living in the Northern Hemisphere. Up in Mohe, Heilongjiang，people are enjoying 17 hours of non-stop sunshine；Along the Tropic of Cancer, places like Shantou and Mengzi stage a no-shadow magic trick at noon—objects seem to disappear.
These amazing phenomena? Totally exclusive to the Summer Solstice. Starting tomorrow, the sun begins its slow trek southward again, and our daylight shrinks by about two and a half minutes a day. Just like the old Chinese saying goes: “After eating Summer Solstice noodles, each day gets a little shorter.”
Back in ancient times, people took this day pretty seriously. The emperor would perform rituals at the Temple of Earth to honor the sun, and regular folks paid respect to their ancestors. The Summer Solstice was like a ruler for time—on one end, a deep respect for nature and the universe; on the other, a quiet reverence for daily life, meals, and the changing seasons.
So, friends, Summer Solstice is here. May we all chase the light with hopeful hearts and keep growing toward the sun.
