Around Great Heat are the hottest times of the year and the fastest growing crops. Agricultural production is closely related to geographical and climatic conditions. The monsoon climate is the main characteristic of China‘s climate. The monsoon climate is a mixed type of continental climate and maritime climate. The monsoon climate is characterized by the rainy and hot period, which is conducive to the growth of crops. Judging from the seasonal distribution of precipitation, the precipitation in China is mainly concentrated in summer, especially Great Heat, which is a season of extreme heat and abundant rainfall. In the high temperature season, crops grow vigorously and need a lot of water, while summer is the season with the most precipitation and concentration in China. The high temperature period is consistent with the rainy period, and the good combination of water and heat is very beneficial to the growth of crops. As the precipitation in China is mainly formed by the water vapor brought by the southeast monsoon, the precipitation gradually decreases from the southeast coast to the northwest inland due to the influence of the summer monsoon. According to the seasonal distribution of precipitation, the southern tropical and subtropical areas of China are typical of the same period of rain and heat. The precipitation in North China, Northeast China and other regions is mainly concentrated at the turn of summer and autumn. Although the rainy season is short and the rainfall is low, it is also characterized by "rain and heat period". Therefore, the climate in North China, Northeast China and other regions also belongs to "rain and heat period". Abundant light, abundant precipitation, high temperature and humid rain and heat are very superior climatic resources in China, which is very suitable for crop growth.
