In a sudden, hot winds come, indicating the arriving of the slight heat.
Today, the eleventh solar term of the twenty-four solar terms
Xiaoshu, as scheduled
Xiaoshu is the fifth solar term of summer. The "Three Seasons" of Xiaoshu write as follows: "The first season brings warm winds, the second season brings crickets to their homes, and the third season brings eagles to prey." This means that as we enter Xiaoshu, the cool breeze turns into a hot breeze; In five days, the cricket will be too hot to go to a cool place to escape the heat; In five days, the eagle will hover in the cool sky due to the high ground temperature.
Zhu Da, a native of Badashan, was skilled in painting landscapes, flowers, birds, bamboo, and wood. His composition was concise, his brushstrokes were concise, his artistic conception was cold, and his artistic attainments were quite high. He was listed as one of the "Four Great Monks" in the early Qing Dynasty's painting history.

This painting of "Ink Lotus" is titled "Eight Great Mountain People's Painting", depicting lotus flowers in a dry pond, growing alongside rocks. Not because of water pollution, not because of wind erosion. A white lotus stands tall and stands tall, standing alone and outstanding; Without leaves to rely on, without staining the mud, tranquility and composure are the author's inner reflections.
Since Xiaoshu, China has generally entered the hottest stage of the year. The north is dry and hot due to the upcoming rainy season, while the south is humid and hot.
In order to relieve the heat, ancient people also racked their brains, and the five character proverb "Calm mind naturally cools down" is most highly praised by literati and scholars. "Heat dissipates from a calm heart, and coolness becomes emptiness in a room." Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi explained the true meaning of "a calm heart naturally cools", telling people to maintain a peaceful mentality and not be disturbed by the outside world. A calm heart makes the body feel cool.
Xiaoshu brings more spiritual energy and persistent courage to one's thinking, rather than the melancholy and irritable resentment.
