In midsummer, the sun is blazing, the cicadas are noisy, and you are sweating profusely at every turn. There were no fans or air conditioners in ancient times, but judging from the many poems left by literati and poets to cool down and cool down, the ancients also had their own ways to cool down and cool down. The poems were like a breeze, chanting to relieve the scorching heat, which made it interesting to read.

"Enjoying the Coolness in the South of the Bridge"

I lean on the Hu bed on the south bank of the painted bridge.
The moon shines brightly and the boat flute rises,
The wind makes the lotus pond fragrant.

"Summer in the Mountains"
Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty
Lazy shaking the 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.
Appreciation
In the mountains in summer, the feather fan does not need to be shaken, and the clothes and shoes do not need to be worn. The image of the poet who is unrestrained in the forest, broad-minded and unrestrained, and not bound by etiquette is more like the legacy of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. "Opening the roof and letting the wind flow" further reflects the poet's leisurely and contented mood, close to nature. The poem highlights the heat of summer by describing the poet's own state.
"The South Pavilion is full of emotions in summer"
Tang Meng Haoran
The mountain light suddenly sets in the west, and the moon in the pond gradually rises in the east.
Enjoy the evening coolness, open the pavilion and lie down in the open air.
The lotus breeze brings fragrance, and the bamboo dew drops make a clear sound.
I want to play the piano, but I hate the ignorance of the music.
Feeling nostalgic for my old friend, I am tired of my dreams in the middle of the night.
Appreciation
The South Pavilion of Summer Resort not only writes a kind of leisurely mood, but also writes the comfort and pleasure from both physical and mental aspects. Although it only describes the leisurely and relaxed mood, it can often lead people to a better state. The words are like flowing clouds and flowing water, flowing naturally layer by layer, arriving at a seamless whole from the scene and meaning, and full of charm.
Ways to escape the summer heat: appreciate lotus, go boating, and meditate
"Wandering in the lotus pond in the evening heat"

The draped collar blocks the west wind.
The lotus flowers are still sad and hot at dusk,
The lower surface is hidden deep in the green umbrella.

"Su Mu Zhe"
Song Zhou Bangyan
Burn agarwood to relieve the heat.
Birds call out for the clear sky, and peek into the eaves at dawn.
The first sun shines on the leaves and the rain lasts.
The water surface is clear and round.
The wind lifts each one.
My hometown is far away, when will I go?
He lives in Wumen and has been traveling in Chang'an for a long time.
Will the fisherman and the man remember each other in May?
A small boat, dreaming of entering Furongpu.
Appreciation
In the upper column, I first write about burning incense indoors to cool off the heat, then write about the birds on the eaves calling for sunshine, and then write about the swaying of wind and lotus outdoors. The wording is lively and fresh, and the structure and meaning are coherent and natural. The viewpoint transformation is very layered. The next step is to look at the round water surface in May and the floating lotuses in the wind, which reminds me of the scenery in May in my hometown of Wumen. I can go on a small boat and dream about Furong Pu, and I can vividly feel the feeling of lovesickness.
"Relieving Summer Heat"
Tang Bai Juyi
Why to relieve summer heat by sitting in a courtyard.
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.
Appreciation
The poet Bai Juyi’s method of escaping from the summer heat is simple, interesting and philosophical. The poet is sitting in the courtyard. There is no clutter in the room, no distracting thoughts in his mind, and the cool breeze comes naturally. This is perhaps the highest state of relieving the summer heat - a calm mind and natural cooling.
In the ocean of poetry, every word is like a poem and every sentence is like a painting. Everything is so delicate, so soft, and so affectionate, as if to say, "Refreshing for the summer, it's that simple.
