Read Summer in June by Yuan Zhen, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, who recited the 24 solar terms.

Mid-June in summer

? Don

The summer heat in Sanqiu is approaching, and the forest clock moves in nine summers.

When the laurel ring opens at midnight, fireflies glow hollowly.

Guo invited Confucian scholars to meet with Pu Chang Mochi.

The crimson yarn is muddy, and history is waiting for the wind to blow.

Reading:

Whenever the summer heat comes, it is not so far away from autumn; It's like every time we hear the rhythm of Lin Zhong, it's like hearing the music of' nine summers' floating in the air. At this time, the round moon will rise at midnight, and fireflies will fly up and down out of thin air at night, drawing bright, flashing and fleeting light marks.

At this time, we entertain distinguished guests from afar with glutinous rice, because glutinous rice always grows on the quiet and cool Shui Bo. Although the weather is hot, the humidity is dignified and people are exhausted, we must never just hide in the sheets and fall asleep, let alone wait for the breeze to read the classic subset.

Appendix I My Twenty-four Solar Terms Poems

intense heat of summer

Fireflies fly in the sky,

It is as good as gold when it rains.

Lightning tore through the night sky,

The wind is high and the moon is high, tearing the clouds.

Opportunities are everywhere,

Four Seasons God listens to Kunlun Mountain.

Have no desire, pay attention to autumn.

Grasslands and trees welcome guests.
