Summer heat is nowhere to be found
The green trees are singing with insects
Sit and read the bibliography of poems without slanting
Listen to the silk bamboo heart gradually calm
If there is no one next to the pear jujube
I don't know if I fell asleep

Every year around June 21, the sun reaches 90 degrees of ecliptic longitude, which is the summer solstice.
In ancient times, the summer solstice was divided into three seasons:
One wait, the antlers are solved
Second wait, the worm begins to sound
Three weather, half summer
The "Explanation of the Seventy-two Waiting Episodes of the Moon Order" said: "In the middle of May. Summer, false also; to, extreme also; all things are false and great and extreme. "On the day of the summer solstice, the sun's direct position on the ground reaches the northernmost point of the year, almost directly hitting the Tropic of Cancer (latitude 23° 26\'N), and the northern hemisphere has the longest days, and the longer the day goes norther. After the summer solstice, the position of the sun directly on the ground gradually shifts south, and the days in the northern hemisphere are getting shorter and shorter.
The ancient Chinese believed in the theory of yin and yang, and all things have yin and yang. On the day of the summer solstice, the sunshine reaches the maximum of the year, and then it turns to prosperity and decline, the yang declines, the yin rises, in order to harmonize the yin and yang, the positive creatures begin to decay, and the yin creatures gradually become active.
The antlers of the deer are born forward, so they are yang. On the day of the summer solstice, the positive antlers begin to fall off; the male knows that he feels the yin on the summer solstice, so he runs to the shade of the tree to drum his belly and sing; the half summer begins to grow, it is a yin-loving herb, poisonous, but if it is stung by a scorpion, take the root of the half summer and mash it and apply it to the wound, that is, it can poison the poison and can quickly relieve the pain.
When the moon is full, it is lost, too late, things will be reversed, everything is like a tide, there is a tide, there is a tide, the way of life of the ancients lies in the balance between yin and yang and things, victory is not arrogant, defeat is not discouraged, to be consistent.
The summer solstice is the beginning of midsummer, and soon after the summer solstice, the hottest time of the year arrives. The third day after the summer solstice will enter the hottest "three-volt day" of the year.
In the hot afternoon, the air is full of fluctuating heat waves, naps are the best way to avoid heat waves, poet Yang Wanli's poem "Idle Early Summer Nap Up Two Absolute Sentences (Part I)" has clouds, "The day long sleeps up and thinks ruthlessly, idly watching children catch willow flowers." "It was as if all emotions were suppressed by the heat, making people unable to move."
In his early short film The Tale of the Summer Solstice, Shunji Iwai depicts a long summer afternoon in the room, a girl in pajamas is bored, flipping through the newspaper, playing with the water tank, gazing at her body, the old fan is illuminated by the blazing sun, the sound of nourishment, the sound of clear water flowing, the sound of the fan whining, everything is hypnotizing.
Summer naps, it is inevitable to wake up due to heat, fortunately now that air conditioning has been used, sleep has become much more comfortable. But things must be reversed, "air conditioning disease" has also become a major problem for modern people, a large number of ice drinks are only drinking ducks to quench thirst. As the saying goes, "The mind is quiet and naturally cool." It refers to the way of not relying on external objects, but obtaining coolness from the inside of the body. Bai Juyi gave the world the best hint in this regard, and he once wrote a poem "Cooling off" Yun: "How to cool off the heat and sit in a courtyard." There is nothing long in front of you, and there is a breeze under the window. Heat dissipation by the heart, cool life for the room empty. At this time, it is difficult to protect yourself, and it is difficult to be more with others. ”
The summer solstice is also a bright and sad season. After the college entrance examination, I was relaxed, the grades were not out, and the brows were locked; the sweltering heat could not stop the joy of graduation, and the kapok set off the sadness of separation.
In "The Summer Solstice Has Not Arrived", the young boys and girls wearing white shirts and their speeding bicycles are as brilliant as the strong sun on a summer afternoon, and the time is stuck in the pale yellow drawing board and the indifferent voice of the boys in the classroom under the afterglow of the sunset, but even the strongest youth can not withstand the reality and cruelty of growth, and can only become fragments left in the memory.....
In the West, the Greek myth of Icarus was very proud of his ability to spread his wings and fly high, did not listen to his father's persuasion, followed the sun's rays and melted his wings and fell into the sea; China also has the same legend, Kwa father wanted to race with the sun, but died of thirst in the road, known as "inadequacy". Is it to burn oneself to chase youth and dreams, or to protect oneself and not let the hot sun burn its feathers?
Thinking about it, Su Shi, who is still optimistic and open-minded, said well, "People have sorrows and joys, and the moon has clouds and sunshine, and this matter is difficult to complete in ancient times." May people be long-lasting, and thousands of miles will be cherished together. ”
