Text | Shanting Summer

Author | Gao Pian [Tang Dynasty]

The green trees are dense and the summer is long, and the balcony reflects into the pond.

The crystal curtain moves and the breeze rises, filling the courtyard with roses and incense.

Before I have time to stop and enjoy the beautiful spring scenery, summer is here in a hurry.

The beginning of summer has just passed, and all things in the world have abandoned the delicate and graceful appearance of spring. At this moment of enthusiasm, they are ready to flourish and flourish. Cicadas chirp and frogs chirp, green and fat, red and thin, everywhere is full of life. Bai Juyi's poem says: "The summer sun is growing early, and the south wind is fragrant with grass and trees." In May, the days become longer, the air is filled with the fragrance of grass and trees, and even the sunshine becomes more mature.

The "establishment" of Lixia means establishing a foothold, which means that actions speak louder than words, and external practice is more down-to-earth than deeds. After a spring of forbearance, the summer harvest crops have entered the final sprint stage. The ears are blooming and the poplars are filling. "The sound of the hoe blade means the crops grow." The farmers knew that the time and place were favorable, and they began to be busy watering wheat, mowing grass, thinning seedlings and transplanting rice seedlings. The warehouses are solid and the food and clothing are sufficient. People take care of the abundant life with their hard-working hands.

Say goodbye to the dull days of spring, and be full of hope in summer. The prosperous summer is like the young adulthood period of life, which is the best situation. I advise you, spring competes with the sun, and summer competes with the time. In this most suitable time for wanton growth, gather strength to break through the temporary haze, work hard, and keep moving. May all worries go away with the wind, and may all beauty be as gorgeous as summer flowers!
