Today is the summer solstice丨The day is the longest, the shadow is the shortest, and midsummer is coming

The cool breeze from the north pavilion blows open the sparse bamboos, and I lie down to watch the white clouds moving across the blue sky.

—— Excerpt from "Miscellaneous Poems in Summer" by Su Shunqin (Song Dynasty)

Summer Solstice

What is your impression?

Scorching sun and cool watermelon

Or the gorgeous summer flowers and the cicadas that refuse to rest?

Dragonflies fly over the ten-mile lotus pond

Over the water

Create ripples

The aroma that fills your nose

It makes people unconsciously start looking for

Deep in the lotus leaf, a touch of pink

The most beautiful and bright

Good times

Lotus breeze brings fragrance

The sound of bamboo dew drops

There is movement in stillness, and stillness in movement

It is the philosophy of nature.

Look

Feel the breeze in silence

You can feel the coolness

Flowing mountain spring dew

It's just a cool

Combination of static and dynamic

The heat is not that unbearable

The fireworks are late in the rainy forest

Steaming Quinoa and Cooking Millet to Feed the Eastern Region

After a rain

In the ethereal mountains

The fireworks of the people rise

Sweet air

The aroma of wheat rice

Family around

One chopstick down

Taste the best

Reflection of Lake Light

New Makeup

Summer Solstice

But it’s a beautiful time

The water is bright and the weather is fine

The lake is like a mirror

The beautiful mountains and rivers are reflected

Reflecting the beautiful you

A boy was sleeping under the willow tree, and a cow was eating food under the willow tree.

Summer Solstice

Hot weather

People sweat and struggle on the road

At this time, you also need

A calm and composed

Like the rainbow after the rain

Like the sound of a shepherd boy's flute in the woods

Like the cool breeze from afar

Just like the sweetness of the first bite of ice watermelon

Calm

In the changing times

Stick to yourself and stand facing the sun

Find the right direction and rhythm

The state of mind is good, the summer is leisurely

Fitness Class

In daily life

Often in front of a computer or mobile phone

Many people tend to have hunched backs and forward necks.

Summer Solstice

We recommend a shoulder-opening exercise

Only one wall is needed

This action is very simple

Face the wall and tighten your abs

Arms and chest against the wall

Bend your elbows and press them down behind you

Chin and chest looking for the wall

Beginners can put their forehead on the wall first

Gradually deepen
