1. Proverb:
"The sun is in full swing and the heat is suffocating, so I sit idle and watch the flies and mosquitoes. Even when war drums rise in the clouds, arrows shot into the lotus pond are like sprinkling gold." If there is a severe summer heat, If there is rain before and after, it indicates that there will be more rain in the future.
There is a farmer's proverb that "when there is rain in the summer, there will be plenty of water in autumn; when there is no rain and little rain in the summer, there will be no water". According to whether the heat is hot or not, there are many farmers' proverbs that predict the weather in the later period: for example, the short-term prediction is "The big summer is hot, and the fields are resting; the big summer is cool, and the ponds are full of water."; the mid-term prediction is "The big summer is hot, and the autumn is cool." "; long-term predictions include "the summer will be extremely hot but there will be no frost for four months", "the summer will not be hot but the winter will not be cold" and "the winter will be rotten if the heat is not hot".
2. Poems:
"Late Summer" Xu Mian of the Southern Dynasties
The summer scene is tired of the house, and I rush to sit and play with flowers.
The lotus shadow is slanting towards the green, and the lotus shadow is divided into red.
To avoid the heat at this time, the clear bottle is not empty.
"Summer in the Mountain Pavilion" Tang Dynasty Gao Pian
The shade of green trees is thick and the summer is long, and the reflection of the tower is into the pond.
The crystal curtain moves and the breeze rises, filling the courtyard with roses and incense.
"Summer in the Mountains" Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty
Lazy swinging a white feather fan, naked in the green forest.
Take off your towel and hang it on the stone wall, exposing the top to let in the pine breeze.
"Relieving Heat" by Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty
Why do you sit in a courtyard to relieve the heat?
There is nothing growing in front of me, but there is a breeze under the window.
Dissipating heat makes the mind calm, and coolness makes the room empty.
It is difficult to protect yourself at this time and be like others.
"Zhuli Pavilion" Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty
Sitting alone in the secluded bamboo, playing the piano and whistling loudly.
People in the deep forest don’t know that the bright moon comes to shine.
"Wandering on the Lotus Pond in the Evening Hot" by Yang Wanli in the Song Dynasty
The thin grass shakes its head and suddenly reports to the farmer, and the draped lapel catches the west wind.
The lotus flowers are still sad and hot in the dusk, and their lower faces are hidden deep in the green umbrellas.
Great Heat is one of the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar. The sun is located at 120° of the celestial longitude. During the Great Heat, Chinese people have customs such as drinking Fu tea, drying Fu ginger, burning Fu incense, and drinking mutton soup.
The "Collection of the Seventy-Two Hours of the Monthly Order" says: "The great heat is in the middle of June. Heat means heat, and heat is divided into large and small. The small at the beginning of the month and the big in the middle of the month. Today The weather is very hot. "The climate characteristics are as follows: "Dou Zhi B is the Great Heat, and the weather is much more severe than the Little Heat, so it is called the Great Heat."
The working people of China divide the Great Heat into three periods: " In the first period, the rotten grass becomes firefly; in the second period, the soil is moist and the heat is flowing; in the third period, it is used when it rains heavily.
