Eating lotus seeds
吃莲子
Drink Fu Tea and dry Fu Jang
饮伏茶、晒伏姜
Drink mutton soup
喝羊汤
……
The hottest time of the year
一年中最热的时节
Great heat has arrived!
大暑，来了！
Great heat
大暑
It is the lush greenery covering the entire mountains and fields
是漫山遍野的绿意
It was the blooming lotus flowers in the pond
是满塘盛放的荷花
It is the rainbow hanging in the sky after a thunderstorm
是雷雨后天边悬挂的彩虹
It was the glowing fireflies in the dusk
是暮色中闪着光的萤火虫
This is during the "middle heat period" of the "three hottest days" of the year
此时正值“三伏”里的“中伏”
High temperatures and intense heat, along with abundant rainfall
高温酷热、雨水充沛
The "coexistence of dampness and heat" has reached its peak
“湿热交蒸”达到顶峰
An old farming proverb goes
农谚有云
"Early rice races against time, while late rice races against days."
“早稻抢日，晚稻抢时”
During the Great Heat period, warm-loving crops grow rapidly
大暑期间，喜温作物生长快
At this point, it also marks the arrival of
此时也迎来了
Early rice harvesting and late rice sowing rush
早稻抢收与晚稻抢插的
The critical period of "double harvest"
“双抢”关键时期
In the eyes of the ancients
在古人看来
The typical phenological signs of the Great Heat period include three aspects
大暑的标志性物候有三
一候腐草为萤
二候土润溽暑
三候大雨时行
At this time of year, although the temperature is high and the humidity is high as well
此时节，虽然温高而气湿
But it was also the time when the lotus flowers were in their fullest bloom
但也是荷花开得最盛的时候
The scorching heat will come to an end
炎暑有尽
Time is boundless
时光无垠
Just wait for the autumn wind to bring coolness
静待秋风送爽吧
