Why did the college entrance examination choose June 7th and 8th? Brief introduction of national college entrance examination time over the years

1In the winter of 977, China closed the "gate" of the college entrance examination for 1 1 year and opened it again. 1979, the college entrance examination was held from July 7 to 9, except 1983 from July 15 to June 17. Until 2002, the college entrance examination was held from July 7 to 9 every year.

200 1 1 1, a historic turning point appeared. At that time, the Ministry of Education officially announced that starting from 2003, the college entrance examination time was changed from July to June.

The decision to arrange the college entrance examination in July has been controversial in all walks of life for many years. Its main opinion is that the hot weather in July is very unfavorable to candidates' exams, teachers' marking and parents' care for candidates. Moreover, in many provinces in southern China, floods and typhoons occurred frequently in July, which brought a lot of inconvenience to the organization of the college entrance examination.

To this end, the Ministry of Education conducted an investigation and study on the rescheduling of the college entrance examination. China Meteorological Bureau provided the Ministry of Education with meteorological information such as maximum temperature, minimum temperature, average temperature, average precipitation, typhoon frequency, etc. in 3 1 provincial cities from 1995 to 2000. The data showed that the average temperature was 23.738℃ from June/kloc-0 to 20, while the average temperature was 25.326℃ from July 5 to June 15. The temperature difference between day and night in June is about 10℃, which is greater than 9℃ during the college entrance examination in July, and the average incidence of typhoons and floods is also less than that in July.

On the basis of information comparison and repeated argumentation, the Ministry of Education has decided that it is more appropriate to change the time of the college entrance examination to June every year for the national candidates and those related to the college entrance examination.

There is also a saying that taking the exam time is homophonic, 6, 7 and 8, which is equivalent to admission.
