Little knowledge about the solar terms of the Great Summer, let your children know as early as possible

The Great Summer Time of 2023: July 23, 09:50:15. \”The Seventy-Two Hours of the Monthly Order\” says: \”The great heat is in the middle of June. The heat is divided into big and small. The first month is small, the middle of the month is big, and now the heat is still big.\” It is the twelfth solar term among the twenty-four solar terms and the last solar term of summer. Compared with Xiaoshu, the summer heat is steaming and extremely hot, and the \”steaming above and boiling below\” in the dog days of summer reaches its peak. However, due to the rain and heat occurring at the same time, everything has its own time, full of vitality, and a scene of prosperity. At this time, only by adapting to the current conditions, keeping the body clean, the mind calm, and respectful, can we live a healthy summer and live up to the good times! 1. Clean the body: spend the day refreshingly, exercise and detoxify. There are three seasons in the great heat: \”The first season is when the rotten grass becomes fireflies; the second season is when the soil is moist and the heat is hot; the third season is when it rains heavily.\” This means that every time during the summer season, the sun is fierce and thunderstorms are frequent. Humid and rainy. The soil is hot and humid, and the plants are decaying, making it easy for bacteria to breed. At night, fireflies often look for food on the decaying leaves of the grass. The scorching heat is unbearable and the body is exhausted, which makes people weak and healthy. If you don\’t pay attention to protection, you may get sick and hurt yourself. On the one hand, we should pay attention to eating cleanly, not being greedy for raw or cold food, and eating as little food as possible overnight to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort. On the other hand, you sweat more in summer, so you should take a bath in time and change clothes frequently. Otherwise, a large number of bacteria will exist on the skin surface, which can easily cause skin diseases, such as sweat rash, allergies, etc. In addition, the home should be kept clean and tidy to prevent mosquitoes from breeding, and windows should be opened regularly for ventilation to keep the room fresh. During the Great Heat period, the temperature is high and the humidity is high, but the Yang Qi is at its peak, the Yang Qi of the human body floats out, and the sweat pores open. In order to prevent and avoid the heat, we often indulge in cold drinks, cold water showers, and direct air conditioning, which makes us vulnerable to the invasion of cold and dampness. As the saying goes: \”Practice in the winter, practice in the summer.\” No matter how hot it is in the summer, you must continue to exercise and exercise. Moderate exercise can regulate qi, dredge qi and blood, and improve the heart and lungs. It can not only improve the body\’s immunity and resist the invasion of external evils, but also detoxify and maintain a healthy body. However, strenuous exercise is not allowed. Mainly focus on soothing exercises such as Tai Chi, yoga, jogging, and brisk walking. It is appropriate to sweat slightly, and dry your body and hair in time. 2. Calm mind: A calm mind brings coolness, a calm mind brings clarity. An ancient poem says: \”Whenever the red sun passes, the breeze is nowhere to be found.\” The sun is scorching, the earth\’s air is steaming, the heat is unbearable, and the body is inevitably uncomfortable. If you can\’t calm down, you will suffer from \”emotional heat stroke\”, and you will also become upset and angry, and internal fire will arise. The summer qi leads to the heart qi, and the best way to maintain health in the hot summer is to nourish the heart, which will naturally cool down when the heart is calm. \”Treatise on Health Preservation\” also says: \”In summer, it is more suitable to regulate the breath and meditate. It is always like ice and snow in the heart, and the heat is less in my heart. We can\’t turn heat into heat, or create heat again!\” On weekdays, we can appreciate poems and listen to poems. Play music, read good books, practice calligraphy… regulate your emotions and relax. In this way, the mind is calm, the thoughts are quiet, and the coolness comes from the heart, which can naturally relieve heatstroke and prevent heatstroke, and can also express emotions smoothly, which is beneficial to the prevention and treatment of diseases. The Great Summer Festival is almost halfway through 2023. Maybe you are confused, or maybe you are still hesitating. But no matter how many ups and downs and helplessness you experience, you must bring peace and calmness and walk the road well in the second half of the year. There is something in \”Zhaode New Edition\”: \”When the water is extremely still, the image will be clear, and when the mind is extremely calm, wisdom will arise.\” When the mind is calm, it will be clear, and when the mind is calm, it will be clear. If you are impetuous, the world will be chaotic, but if you are calm, your thoughts will be clear. If you calm down, find your goals, and work hard to move forward, you will be able to survive the bitter summer and usher in the fruitful golden autumn. 3. Respect for people: revere the heaven and earth, and follow nature. As the proverb goes: \”Spring competes with the sun, and summer competes with the time.\” The heat and humidity of the Great Heat are the most precious gifts given by nature to all living things. The heaven and earth are inspired by the heat and are vigorous and prosperous. Farmers are busy harvesting and planting seeds, working hard. We must also revere heaven and earth, conform to nature, cherish every inch of time, live up to our time, and seize every day. No matter how hot the weather is, no matter how difficult life is, don’t slack off, don’t let go, live with self-discipline, move forward spontaneously, and keep going steadily. \”Xunzi\” said: \”Everything can be accomplished by respecting it.\” No matter how big or small the matter is, only with a heart of sincerity and respect can we achieve perfection and reach the other side of success. It is true that the Great Summer Festival, which falls just two days after the middle of the dog days, is one of the most difficult times of the year. We must adapt to the cold and heat according to nature, hide ourselves, and take good care of our bodies, but we must also strengthen our beliefs and never give up. All things in nature go through cycles, and the sun is extremely hot during the summer, but things will reverse when they reach their peak, and they will decline when they are at their peak. At this time, the Yang Qi is at its peak, the Yin Qi is growing darkly, and the Yin and Yang are gradually harmonized, which will surely bring peace, turn depression into peace, and turn dryness into tranquility. Time pays off to those who are willing to do so, be respectful and self-sufficient, not afraid of hardships, and be at peace with the situation. Maybe the next moment, the clouds will clear and the moon will shine. Yuan Zhen wrote in his poem: \”The great heat and the third autumn are approaching, and the forest bells and nine summers are moving.\” The cold and heat are pushed into the years, and the intertwining of bitterness and joy is life. The great heat has arrived, and the midsummer is about to end. May you be clean in body, calm in mind, respected by others, free from illness and worry, calm in your steps, and wait for the autumn wind in peace.
