Summer solstice into the top nine, feather fan in hand;

In 29 18, I took off my crown and put on a scarf;

On March 27, I went out to sweat;

Four, nine, thirty-six, open-air rolling seats;

In 5945, autumn was like a tiger;

6954, enter the temple to enjoy the cool;

7963, touching the sheets at the bedside;

8972, looking for a quilt in the middle of the night;

998 1, open the cupboard to get cotton-padded clothes.
