The Dipper points southwest
斗柄指西南
Summer hands over its crown
夏天交出了王冠
August 7
8月7日
The Start of Autumn arrives
立秋来了

Somewhere, a leaf begins to trace its edge in gold
某处,一片叶子正沿着轮廓描上金线
The wind falters for half a heartbeat, then veers toward a cooler road
风迟疑了半拍,然后转上一条更凉的路
This is no theatrical farewell—only a knowing that passes silently
这不是一场盛大的告别,只是一份默契,悄然流转
You sense it in the morning—a faint crispness tucked beneath the warmth
你在清晨感知到它——暖意之下,藏着一点清冽的脆响
An ancient text says: "Cool wind arrives. White dew falls. Cicadas sing."
古书云:"凉风至,白露降,寒蝉鸣。"
But Du Mu wrote it better: "Red candle paints autumn on the screen. A small fan chases fireflies at dusk."
但杜牧写得更妙:"银烛秋光冷画屏,轻罗小扇扑流萤。"

立
秋
Autumn is not a departure
秋天不是离去
It is a softening
是温柔下来
The heat still lingers at noon
正午暑气还在
But mornings carry a new whisper
但清晨有了新的耳语
Today, summer folds its last heat into memory
今天,夏天把最后的热叠进了回忆
Autumn tiptoes in, not to replace, but to accompany
秋天踮脚走来,不是替代,而是作伴
The light is softer now
光变柔了
The air tastes of possibility
空气里有种"可能"的味道
Wait a little longer
再等一等
Something beautiful is ripening
有好的事物,正在成熟
