Today is the Lesser Heat. Suddenly, the warm wind arrives.

No need to drink from Heshuo, just brew tea and forget about going home.

—— Excerpt from "Accompanying the Second Magistrate to Miaojue Temple to Escape the Summer Heat on the Day of the Mid-Summer" by Mei Yaochen (Song Dynasty)

Lesser Heat Season

In the quiet mountains

Hiding beautiful creatures

Pond

There is always a refreshing lotus fragrance

Under the big tree

People fan themselves with palm-leaf fans to enjoy the cool air

The early summer breeze hasn't blown enough

The weather has turned cold

The hottest time of the year is here

The sunset is red and broken

The light of the pond flies up to the curtain

Sunset Red Drunk

Decorating the city with lights on

Brilliant colors light up the sky

A break from the busyness

It is the romance in triviality

Snow lotus root and ice peach

Take care and taste the green tube

The lotus root is crisp and tender, the watermelon is refreshing, and the new rice is fresh and fragrant

Take a bite

Sweet and cool

Hot summer day

The taste of summer

Early rice is about to bloom and bear fruit

Late-seasoned grass leaves have not yet developed

Rain and heat at the same time

Lesser Heat is when crops grow fastest

It is also the most difficult time for farmers.

On the hot ridges of the field

All the efforts

All for the joy of harvest

I got up from the tall building in the middle of the night, wrapped my clothes around me, and sat in front of the curtain to watch the movement of the Milky Way.

——Excerpt from "The Summer Nights Are Too Hot to Sleep" by Xue Hui (Ming Dynasty)

The weather is getting hotter

Don’t lose your interest in nature.

Get out of the house

Walking into the summer night dream

You will be in the woods where fireflies are flying

Rediscover the joy of childhood

Also under the gentle touch of the moonlight

Calm down anxious emotions

Unbearable heat

But it also tells us a truth

Keep thinking

Don't stop

Every day

There will be happiness in the harvest
