Summer introduction:

Summer vacation refers to the school holiday time from July to August or 1 month, about one to two months, and the holiday time varies from hemisphere to hemisphere.

In China, schools usually divide each school year into two semesters. Last semester started in mid-August or early September, and ended around the end of the following year 1 month (or 1 mid-month, mostly 65438+1early October in Northeast China). At this time, the school began to have a holiday. This holiday is a cold winter in China, and it is called winter vacation. Winter vacation usually ends on the fifteenth day of the first month.

The next semester begins in mid-February in spring (the 16th day of the first lunar month) and ends in early or mid-July, and the school begins to have a holiday again. This holiday coincides with the hottest summer in China, and the heat is pressing, so it is called summer vacation. At present, the summer vacation in most schools ends at the end of August, and in some places it ends in mid-August.
