What does slightly cool mean?

"Military" means: a slightly cool feeling

Source: "Chasing Coolness on Summer Nights" - Song Dynasty Yang Wanli

The night heat is still the afternoon heat Same, open the door and stand in the middle of the small moonlight.

Where the bamboos are deep and the trees are densely buzzing with insects, there is sometimes a slight coolness that is not the wind.

The night is still as hot as noon, so I open the door and stand for a while under the moonlight. ?In the dense bamboo forest where insects are constantly chirping, there are waves of coolness coming from time to time, but it is not the wind.

2. Appreciation of "Chasing the Cold on a Summer Night"

Obviously, the coolness in silence is the author's intention, but this intention is not directly stated. Without the words "not wind", readers are likely to associate "cool" with "wind". Chen Yan's "Shi Shi Shi Shi Hua" has long pointed out: "If you cover up the last three characters, you will guess what the wind is, and you don't know what it is." However, the beauty of this poem lies precisely in this.

The author deliberately does not give the reader any clues that reveal his original intention until the end - since it is clearly stated that "it is not the wind", readers who are good at divine understanding should naturally think of the causal relationship between tranquility and coolness; And when you think about it, the moonlight, the bamboo forest, the shade of the trees, and the chirping of insects that appear in front of you are just the preparation for revealing the principle of coolness in silence. In this way, it is naturally more poetic than simply stating the original intention.
