Original Xiaoshu is coming, so is the heat

Pictures and Texts//Listening to the Snow

2022.7.7 Thursday? Sunny

As the saying goes, the wind and water take turns, and the northern sun in June is like fire. The temperature is all thirty-seven or eighty degrees, and in some places it has exceeded forty degrees, reaching new heights. Now the temperature is getting warmer in the south and cooler in the north. Today the temperature in southern Jiangsu is 35 to 28 degrees, and the temperature in northern Jiangsu is 32 to 25 degrees.

Time flies, the solar terms change, the summer solstice passes quietly, and the summer heat comes lightly.

Small Heat is the fifth solar term of summer and the eleventh of the twenty-four solar terms, marking the beginning of the summer season.

Shu means hot.

Some people say that Xiaoshu is a small heat. Is Great Heat a great heat?

It feels like this year is different from the past, with the heat reaching new heights in early summer.

"Small Heat is the June Festival. Summer is hot."

The symbol of Xiaoshu is the emergence of plum blossoms and the onset of winter. Slight summer heat begins and the rainy season ends in the Yangtze and Huaihe River basins.

As everyone knows, there was less rain this year, so there was no plum blossom at all, and there was no plum blossom at all.

It stands to reason that the temperature will gradually rise at this time, crops will grow vigorously, and the world will be a beautiful place.

It’s just generally a bit dry, and it’s really hot. During the Slight Summer Season, the most awaited thing is a timely rain.

In the past, I felt that the shade of green trees could cool down anyone's mood. Nowadays, no one cares about the shade of trees. They are all otakus in air-conditioned rooms, whether they work or live at home.

As the saying goes, if you cannot enjoy all the blessings, you cannot bear all the sins. In this season, everyone has to do what they should do.

Cyclists envy drivers for their speed, comfort and coolness, but drivers find the gas expensive and if they encounter traffic jams, they are not as good as cyclists. People on bikes looked around, and there were people on foot behind. People walking leisurely, basking in the sun, blowing the natural wind, the wind carrying heat waves, protecting the environment, but who wants to envy it?

As the saying goes: From small heat to big heat, steam the top and boil the bottom. It needs to be heated when it should be hot, it should be jointed when it should be jointed, and it should be matured when it should be mature. This is a normal phenomenon.

"The summer is long, and the heat is used to nourish food." "It is not hot in June, and the grains will not grow."

Just like human maturity, it may not be days, but experiences. It is also like Xiaoshu. The hot emotions in the heart are written into autumn stories.

In the story, there are morning glories blowing trumpets on the fence, big round watermelons in the melon patch, blinking stars, fireflies coming with lanterns, and the noisy chirping of cicadas. , a pond full of lotus flowers...

It’s so hot in midsummer, how can you relieve the heat? Sitting in a courtyard, there is nothing long in front of me, and there is a breeze under the window.

May the hustle and bustle of the past never disturb your inner peace.

In the summer season, I hope you will leave more free time for yourself, wait for the wind and rain, slowly cook the fireworks in the world, take good care of your body and emotions, and live a happier and happier self!
