Major Heat: Midsummer deepens
In this hottest period of the year, life pulses with unyielding vigor under the scorching sun. Chinese people have found various ways to escape the sweltering heat, sipping herbal tea, enjoying fresh fruits, all for seeking solace in refreshing moments of summer.
Song Dynasty (960-1279) poet Zeng Ji wrote in "The Major Heat": "When will the scorching sun pass by? No cooling breeze can be found. I use my books as a pillow, high; Fruits float in water round."
May you find peace and tranquility amidst the scent of ripe fruits and parchment's age.
