Among the 24 solar terms, the summer solstice is the first solar term.

On this day, the sun is the closest and the day is the longest. Judging from the gossip in the Book of Changes, the summer at this time should be in the middle of deviation, which is the so-called "midsummer". On this day, the sun be the spirit reaches the extreme, and the yin begin to pick up. Yin and Yang, both qi, began to rise and fall here.

Corresponding to the change of everything, the poet first noticed it from the cicada.

This kind of elf is always in the C position in midsummer, and they can be found everywhere, whether on the branches or in the grass. In the afternoon, cicadas sang almost throughout the nap time.

So the poet came up with the word "everywhere". In this world, there are people who love the loveliness of summer more than they do.

With a cicada singing, the solstice of summer comes in mid-May. This is a good way to distinguish the arrival of the summer solstice easily. In ancient times, the summer solstice was divided into three phases: "The first phase of staghorn dissolution; Second, wait for cicadas to start singing; Third-class Pinellia ternata. "

In couplets, the poet prefers to write, but also wants to keep the antithesis beauty of "Dew Cave" and "Sun Palace", telling the contrast beauty of a cool summer and a hot summer.

You have your "sun palace", spewing blazing flames, and I have my "backwater cave", living happily.

The avenue of this world, the harmony of Yin and Yang, and the harmony of life do not all exist in this set of duality. Seeing this, if you are a poet, you are afraid that you can't change a word.

Necklace, "flying electricity" and "rainbow" are all beautiful natural landscapes in summer. No wonder the poet didn't choose "Antlers" and "Pinellia ternata" to write.

What is more enjoyable than a rainstorm between heaven and earth? The world is so dirty that it is washed away by heavy rain, innovated by lightning and dreamed by rainbows. Up to now, the most unforgettable childhood is still the rainbow after the rain in summer dusk.

The ending of the couplet "Yan Bin" evokes the poet's understanding of life. As time goes by, Yin and Yang begin to change again.

The world is constantly changing, and we humans should adapt to such changes and adjust our mood in time.

In summer, if you nourish your heart, listen to cicadas and watch rainbows, your inner coolness will surely come as promised.
