1. Summer in the mountains
Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
Lazily shaking his 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.

I am too lazy to shake the white feather fan to dispel the heat, so I stay naked in the green woods. He took off his turban and hung it on the stone wall, letting the cool breeze among the pine trees blow over his head.
2. The meaning of summer
Song Dynasty: Su Shunqin
The courtyard is deep in summer and the pomegranates are blooming all over the curtain. (Xia Xiqing's first work: Xia Jingqing)
At noon in the shade of the trees, I heard the sound of a wandering warbler in my dream.
Translation
The small courtyard is deep and quiet. I lie on the bamboo mat and feel cool all over. The pomegranate flowers outside the window are in full bloom, and through the hanging bamboo curtains, the empty hall is reflected in red. The dense shade of trees cut off the heat. It was exactly noon. When I woke up, I could hear the intermittent singing of oriole in my ears.
3. Summer Pavilion
Tang Dynasty: Gao Pian
The green trees are dense and the summer is long, and the tower is reflected in the pond.
The crystal curtain moves, the breeze rises, and the roses fill the courtyard with incense.

The green trees are lush and the summer is long, and the reflection of the balcony is reflected in the pond. The water curtains were shaking in the breeze, and the roses on the shelves filled the courtyard with fragrance.
4. Early summer on the pond
Tang Dynasty: Bai Juyi
The water accumulates in the spring pond late, and the trees grow thick in summer.
The boats are like wild ferries, and the fences are like river villages.
Quiet music blows on the bed mat, and the fragrance opens the wine cellar door.
I have nothing to do and spend time with my little grandson.
Translation
One night in late spring and early summer, it had just rained. The water in the pond was very deep. When I looked up, I looked up and saw that leaves were already growing on the branches above my head. In the distance, a few boats were lined up scatteredly like unorganized ferry boats, and the nearby villages were scattered with fences, as if they were just a small river village.
I was stroking the piano bed quietly with nothing to do, and suddenly I remembered to open the wine cellar and get a bottle of good wine to taste alone. I have nothing to do all day long, I can only tease my little grandson who is not yet sensible from time to time.
