It is summer, not you.

July 22, 2020, the great summer solar term.

As the saying goes, "In the heat of summer, when cooking, nature can feel it best, and the extremely hot summer is the hottest time of the year." At this time, if you pay attention to observation, you can see the wonders of sunrise in the east and rain in the west, and you can also hear the wonderful sound of "frogs flying ten miles out of the mountain spring". In summer, the temperature is the highest, the crops grow the fastest, and the fields are pregnant with a bumper harvest. People who didn't have air conditioning before had their own ways to enjoy the cool: they could shake the cattail leaf fan under the big tree, drink yellow wine at the door and look up at the stars on the hillside. To escape from summer, we naturally rely on the cool breeze in Xu Lai. What we need is calmness, such as Bai Juyi's poem: "There is nothing in front of us, but a cool breeze under the window. The heat dissipates from a calm mind, and the cool life is empty. " There is also his bitter poem about the meditation room of Heng Ji Shi: "Everyone is crazy in summer, but the Zen master does not leave the room." But the Zen room is not hot enough? But when you are calm, it will become cool. "

In summer, many places in Guangdong have the custom of "eating fairy grass" in summer. Cao Xian, also known as Xiancao and Cao Xian, is an important medicinal and edible plant resource. It is known as "Cao Xian" because of its magical effect of relieving summer heat. After the stems and leaves are dried in the sun, they can be made into fairy grass, which is called bean jelly in Guangdong and is a summer dessert. You can also drink more mung bean porridge.

The heat is the last solar term in summer.

Happy summer vacation to everyone, not you!
