Stay in a courtyard. There is nothing in front of me, and there is a breeze under the window. Heat dissipates when the mind is calm, and coolness arises when the room is empty. I am so happy at this moment, it’s hard to share the same feeling with others. Summer leisure Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty did not go out during the hot summer, and no guests came. The curtains are drawn in the quiet room, and the floor in the small courtyard has just been swept. He lifted his skirt and put on his hat, feeling free and unrestrained. The pillow and mat are cool in the morning, and I take a nice sleep in the cool breeze. What's for lunch? Just a few dishes of fish. There are not many summer clothes, just three or five pieces of banana yarn. If you have enough provisions for your own life, there is no need to waste money on expensive things. Compared with people with only a basket and a gourd, I am too rich now. firefly Tang Dynasty - Xu You The moon falls behind the west tower, casting a shadow on the night sky, penetrating through the curtains and reaching the room. The flowing light can be ranked among pearls, but the fire cannot be generated among elms and willows. The light shines through the yellow scroll words, gently turning into green weeds. If you want to know when to expect the Great Heat, you should wait until early June. Dengshu Pavilion Tang Yuanjie It is the hottest time of the year, so come and climb the Shuting.

When will the heat of autumn sky be washed away and the wind dissipate the fallen leaves into frost? What activities did the ancients do during the Great Heat?Food: "Stick to the fat" is popular in the north, while in Suzhou in the south, people enjoy cold ice"The Book of the Later Zhou Dynasty·Explanation of the Months of Zhou" clearly points out that "the middle solar terms in the three summer months are Grain Full, Summer Solstice, and Great Heat." The system of 24 solar terms should have appeared by the Zhou and Qin dynasties. The Huainanzi, compiled by Liu An in the Han Dynasty, has a complete record of the 24 solar terms, and Great Heat is among them. "The 'Shi Xun Jie' in the book records the meteorological and phenological conditions of the Great Heat season, stating that 'on the day of the Great Heat, rotten grass turns into fireflies. Five days later, the soil is moist and hot. Five days later, heavy rains come.' It means that if these phenological and meteorological conditions do not appear according to the solar terms, it will be detrimental to farming, the environment and society." The so-called 'rotten grass does not turn into fireflies, and the fruits fall young. The soil is moist but not hot, and things are not punished. Heavy rains do not come on time, and the country has no blessings.' This means that the Great Heat season will be humid and hot, which is good for the harvest of rice farming. Precisely because it is closely related to farming, in the long process of social development, agricultural proverbs have gradually emerged: "The rain in Lesser Heat is like silver, and the rain in Greater Heat is like gold" and "It rains continuously in Greater Heat, and the ground is covered with gold", which also indicates that the period before and after the Greater Heat is the hottest, the fastest growing and the most critical period of the year. Since it is a very hot season, people pay much attention to their diet during the hot days of dog days, which is called "putting on fat in the dog days" in the north. At this time, people in the north eat noodles, dumplings, eggs, etc. There is a Beijing saying that goes "The first dog days eat steamed buns, the second dog days eat noodles, and the third dog days eat pancakes and eggs." Beijingers also make iced sour plum soup and sell it on the streets. In the south, in addition to enjoying cold ice, Suzhou people also have many other ways to cool down. Kind-hearted people give out medicines at the door and "make friends through tea." Ice tickets, lotus viewing, summer cruise Due to the hot climate, people mainly stay at home and rest during the dog days of summer, represented by the Great Heat. In order to relieve the heat, various folk customs were invented, which were particularly popular in ancient times. In ancient times, there was a ceremony of distributing ice on the day of the dog days. That is, on the day of the dog days, the ice stored in the cellar in the twelfth month of the previous year would be taken out for people to cool down. "In the capitals of Tang and Song Dynasties, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the royal family would give ice to their close ministers as soon as summer came. In the Song Dynasty, the court would give four boxes of ice to each of its close ministers starting from the first day of the dog days. In the Ming Dynasty, ice would be given to civil and military ministers on the day of the beginning of summer. The work "Summer Ice" by Ming Dynasty writer Zhong Xing is a record of this." At that time, there were hawkers in the capital who beat ice cups and sold ice cream on the streets, which continued until the Qing Dynasty. "The sound of the ice cups was crisp and pleasant, and historical records show that it was "cool and pleasant to hear, and it was also the sound of peace." In the late Qing Dynasty, Beijing still gave ice. From the dog days to the beginning of autumn, each government office would give ice as a rule, and "ice tickets" would be issued according to the rank of officials. People would collect the ice by themselves with the ice tickets." Admiring lotus flowers along the lake was also a great way for ancient people to cool off. In midsummer June, lotus flowers are in full bloom. Whether in Beijing, Hangzhou or Nanjing, people go out in the evening to admire the newly opened lotus flowers. In comparison, the lotus flowers are most abundant in Shichahai, Beijing. In the old days, every June, men and women would gather there. Green lotus has been planted in Hangzhou's West Lake since the Tang Dynasty, and scholars and literati go boating on it in summer. Nanjing's Mochou Lake and Xuanwu Lake are popular places to enjoy lotus in midsummer. "Cruising in the hot summer months was also a folk custom at the time. In the old days, Nanjing people would take a boat to cruise along the Qinhuai River at night during the hot summer months, drinking tea and chatting, appreciating the moon and the scenery, and enjoying the endless scenery."
