As the saying goes: "In midsummer, the sun is blazing, the cicadas are noisy, and you are sweating all the time." So, just don't move. But even if I don't move, it's very hot. Don't worry, I have a solution. Recently, I fell in love with poetry. I read Tang poetry, Song poetry and so on. While reading, I discovered that reading poetry can relieve the heat. Reading it can make people calm. Especially when I read poems about relieving the summer heat, I feel refreshed. .
"Poems for Relieving Summer Heat"
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.
Heat is dissipated by calming the mind, and coolness makes the room empty.
At this time, it is difficult to protect yourself and others.
I think this poem is perfect for how to beat the heat.
Bai Juyi's summer vacation has a vulgar taste and some philosophical thoughts. Facing the high temperature, Bai Juyi chose to find an open yard to maintain ventilation, balance his mentality, and reduce exercise. Through his poems, we seem to see the image of an old man sitting calmly in the courtyard enjoying the cool breeze in the gentle breeze.
"Summer in the Mountains"
Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty
Lazy shaking 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.
Compared with the poet Bai Juyi, Li Bai's way is as uninhibited as his character, showing his own style.
Li Bai is world-famous for his bohemian style. Especially in the hot summer, he indulges in landscapes and is naturally unconventional. Bare-chested and topless, living in the forest is a great way to relieve the burden of dust and return to nature. The image of being unrestrained in the mountains and forests, broad-minded and unrestrained, and not restricted by etiquette and law is a legacy of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The poet is intoxicated, and the indulgence and catharsis of personal emotions can be said to have reached the extreme.
"Wandering on the Lotus Pond in the Evening Hot" (Part 3)
Yang Wanli of the Song Dynasty
The thin grass shakes its head and suddenly reports to the farmer, and the west wind is caught by the drape.
The lotus flowers are still sad and hot in the dusk, and their lower faces are hidden deep in the green umbrellas.
When I first saw this poem, I thought it was very interesting. I thought it was because the weather was so hot that I had to swim in the lotus pond, but it was not the case.
The poet uses lotus flowers to "hide deeply" to describe the heat of the weather, turning stillness into movement, making the whole poem full of life, fresh and relaxed, writing about the heat of summer, and revealing a refreshing feeling. Fresh, lively, light and playful, it expresses the appreciation for the beauty of summer evenings and the love for nature.
