Abstract： Late summer is an important term in Chinese medicine. Among the ancient medical scholars, only Gao Shizong was found to have clearly explained the pronunciation of the word "late" in late summer. In order to clarify the pronunciation of the character "Chang" of Changxia, we searched the ancient classical Chinese medical texts, sorted through the existing literature and analyzed the views of existing scholars, and on this basis, we proposed a new opinion that when the character "late" is pronounced zhǎng, it means that the elders are honored; when it is pronounced cháng, it means that the elders are honored. When pronounced cháng, it expresses the good wish of life and vitality for a long time and the long duration of time, and it also indicates the longest state of the yellow bell. The clarification of the pronunciation of late summer can help to further understand Changxia and help to further interpret and study Chinese medicine.
