Lesser Heat
Introduction to Xiaoshu Solar Term
Xiaoshu is the eleventh solar term of the twenty-four solar terms, the end of the noon month in the Ganzhi calendar and the beginning of the wei month. Douzhi Xin, the sun reaches 105 degrees in the yellow meridian and intersects on July 6-8 of the Gregorian calendar every year. Heatstroke, which means hot, refers to small heat, which is not very hot yet. Although Xiaoshu is not the hottest season of the year, it is immediately followed by the hottest solar term of the year, the Great Heat. There is a saying in the folk that "Xiaoshu is a great heat, steamed on top and boiled on the bottom". Since Xiaoshu, many parts of China have entered the season with the most thunderstorms.
Is Xiaoshu the hottest time

Xiaoshu, also known as "small heat", means that although the heat of the weather can already be felt at this time, it has not reached the hottest point in a year, and Xiaoshu is only the beginning of the scorching summer. As the saying goes, 'Heat is in the third heat'. The dog days, which occur between mild and severe heatstrokes, are the period of the year when the temperature is the highest, humid, and stuffy. The monsoon climate is the main feature of China's climate. The monsoon climate is a mixture of Continental climate and Oceanic climate. Influenced by the warm and humid air flow from the ocean, it is hot, humid and rainy in summer. The high temperature of the monsoon climate is basically consistent with the rainy period, with the same period of rain and heat, which is conducive to crop growth. During the low heat season, the weather is hot and thunderstorms are frequent, making it a time for everything to grow wildly.

What are the verses of the Xiaoshu season
1. The Southern Tour of the Summer Holiday Yu Xin of the Northern and Southern dynasties: A hundred rivers are a huge sea. The stars are the rising stars. Yuji in Youtong, Kyushu.

There are two rounds of golden waves on the moon. A cool breeze beckons to the north. On the Southern Tour during the Xiaoshu Jiejie Festival. The mountains are not hidden in purple jade. The earth does not love silver. Although the south is conquered, the north is resentful. Shi Xi follows while Dong Bin. Both Yongqing and the Four Seas. There will always be one person to celebrate.
2. Tang Zhang said, "The Three Palace Banquets of the Dragon Boat Festival should be made with the character of fish." Tang Zhang said: "In the summer of Xiaoshu, the strings should be made, and the Huizhou sound should be in the early stage of business management. Wishing you a long and fulfilling life, to continue your great kindness. The three halls are adorned with clean pearls and foil, and the group officials are removed with jade. Help Yang taste wheat swine, and enter turtle and fish along the festival. Sweet dew hangs in the sky and wine, while Zhi flowers hold imperial books. He Dan is the same as the dragonfly, and the gray bones are the same as the toad. Today, when I hurt the snake, I was unable to hold the pearl.
3. Farewell to Wang Shi Yu and Go to Shangdu "Tang Han Hong: Pian Pian Ma Lang, holding a Jian and wearing a silver medal. Go west to Luoyang and return to Du, then turn back and remember the Lotus Mansion. Farewell to the fragrant grass on the Long Live Street in the morning, and stay at a spring mountain and a spring dock in the evening. The green trees are adorned with flowing clothes, and the milky swallows and flowing warblers fly in unison. Far away from the three peaks and facing the eight waters, this is the best reward for Youxun. Fragmented flowers and thin willow winds, sparse bell and locust rain at sunset. How can I hide my tears in lovesickness? The predecessors of the Gongzi Sect are gradually becoming sparse. Fortunately, I have the heart to be a little summer, and I hope to return to the train.
4. Summer South Pavilion Huai Xin Da "Tang Meng Haoran: The mountain light suddenly sets in the west, and the pond moon gradually rises in the east. Spreading a cool night ride, open a pavilion and lie leisurely and spacious. The lotus breeze sends a fragrance, and the bamboo dew drips with a clear sound. Wanting to play the harp, hating ignorance for music rewards. I feel nostalgic for my old friend and dream of working late at night.
5. "Poem on Twenty four Qi · Summer Juneteenth Festival" Tang Yuan Zhen: The warm wind suddenly came, followed the summer heat. The sound of bamboo makes one aware of the rain, and the darkness of the mountains brings thunder. The windows and doors are deep with a green mist, and the benches and courtyards are covered in green moss. Eagles learn new things, crickets do not urge each other.
