July, the first month of the second half of the year, has the most summer days, the hottest weather, the most intense heart, is "the shade of green trees, the wind on the water, the cicadas singing", but also "forever, the golden season".
In July, I think of July, like a high and low poem, like a shadowy dream.
5 poems of July, 5 midsummer dreams
01
In the earliest days of July
Thinking of you, I ran through this empty street tonight
Tomorrow I'm going to be human again when I get up tomorrow
I want to be a child of the universe and a child of the century
Squander my own youth
Then give up the throne of love
Be the captain of the stone heart
Haizi "Looking North"
02
Your July
Just withered away
Can't see your straight pride
How to drown in the sunset and struggle
The lights along the river are brilliant
It was all boiling tears
My July
In the farewell
Shu Ting, "That July of that year"
03
July answered
Where are the bees
Where is red
Where is the hay
Ah July said
Where are the seeds
Where is the bud
I'll let you answer
Emily Dickinson, "July Answer"
04
In July, the green trees are thick
The wind on the surface of the water comes and the cicadas chirp
The neighbor also fished for the fishing rod and the yun in the depths of the willow shade
At sunset climb the Earth Mountain
Watch the sunset and sunset light and chant at will
There is a sentence that "the beast swallows the sunset, and the bow moon bullets meteor"
Shen Fu's "Six Notes of Floating Life"
05
On that July afternoon
Before the lotus of the new rain if
If you don't look back
I could have taken any kind of subject
Could have been drawn as one
A completely different sketch or watercolor
My whole life could have been
Different encounters if
In front of the lotus of the new rain
You just walk silently
On that July afternoon if
If you don't turn back
Xi Murong,"An Afternoon of Painting Lotus"

In July, when "small summer and summer are connected",
The heat is inevitable,
But we still have countless ways to be happy:
Cut out the middle piece of ice watermelon,
Connect to Wi-Fi in air-conditioned rooms;
Take a sip of osmanthus-flavored sour plum soup,
Feel the fragrance of August in advance;
Eat a large bowl of Eight Treasures Lotus Leaf Porridge,
Appetite and body and mind together become comfortable;
And the unexpected,
A cool rainy night, a gentle evening wind,
A thrilling encounter...
The coolness of these midsummers,
It's all moving evidence of the passage of time.
Some summer cool things
Eat Guana Cool
The watermelon is hung in the well with a rope, and in the afternoon it is dissected, and it goes down with a knife, and it clicks and sounds, and the cool air is overflowing, and even the eyes are cold. ...... Move a large bamboo bed and put it in the patio, lie horizontally and vertically, full of freshness, and the heat will be completely gone. (Wang Zengqi," "Summer")
Temple stargazing
That's where my grandmother used to take me, and the temple was very large, and the pine was forested. No matter how hot and unbearable the summer evening is, as soon as I enter the temple, I immediately feel cool, and my grandmother and I sit side by side on the stone steps of the temple, enjoying the evening breeze and moonlight, watching the stars light up one by one. (Shi Tiesheng's "Memories of the Temple")
Looking for the wind under the moon
The night heat is still the same as the afternoon heat, and the door is opened in the middle of the moon. Bamboo deep tree dense insect song, sometimes there is a slight cool is not the wind. (Yang Wanli, "Chasing The Cool on a Summer Night")
Stroll through the mountains
The night breeze was cool, and we climbed toward the sky for a whole day, which was the home of the Cloud Mountain that we had admired for a long time. The air was so fresh and sweet, and every breath was like a gift from Heaven. (John Muir, "Summer Walks Through the Mountains")
Eat ice and listen to cicadas
In the three volts, regardless of whether it is day or night, you only teach a vine bed, move to the grape trellis in the yard or the shade of the vine flowers to lie down, eat iced tea and snow lotus, listen to the blind drums and the cicadas on the trees, and you can not feel the heat and lavender at all. (Yu Dafu, "The Four Seasons of Peiping")
06
Showers of rain fell
When the summer showers come, the children like to run and jump in the rain and look at the lightning with their faces on their backs, but the adults are not allowed, "Come to the house!" "The children were locked in a cavernous house as the wooden windows closed; at this time, the little skylight was the only consolation. From that little glass, you will see raindrops falling and jumping there, you will see a lightning stroke like a belt; you will imagine how this rain, this wind, this thunder, this electricity, how violently sweeping the world... (Mao Dun," Skylight)
07
Lovers are by the side
Cool summer nights. The windows were open and the lights were on. Fruit in a bowl. Your head is on my shoulder. These are the most enjoyable moments of the day. (Raymond Carver, "The Best time of day")

In the July heat,
We started the second half of the year with determination.
"July in the wild, August in the universe,
September is in the house, October crickets under my bed",
Some of the time starts in July.
If it is a new starting point,
You can --
Rejoice and not sorrow,
"Through the dewdrops, I came and greeted another day of summer."
