Surviving the ‘Greater Heat’: Climbing Over Summer’s Hottest Days!
Hey there! Have you ever felt like summer just couldn’t get any hotter? 🌞 Well, in the traditional Chinese calendar, there’s a special time called “Da Shu” or “Greater Heat.” It’s the 12th of 24 solar terms, marking the peak of summer heat!
Wait, what’s a solar term? 🤔 Great question! The Chinese calendar divides the year into 24 parts, called solar terms. Each one reflects changes in nature, like weather or farming needs.
During Da Shu, the sun is blazing, the days are long, and sometimes it feels like we’re climbing a big, hot mountain! 🏔️ But guess what? Every step we take brings us closer to cooler skies and autumn breezes. 🍃
So how can we get through the “Greater Heat”? Here are some cool tips:
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water or refreshing juices. 🥤
- Enjoy summer fruits: Watermelon, anyone? 🍉
- Find shade: Read a book under a tree or build a fort indoors! 📚
- Embrace summer fun: Have a water balloon fight with friends! 💦
Remember, even though it’s super hot now, we’re getting closer to cooler days. By staying positive and taking care of ourselves, we’ll be over the hump of the “Greater Heat” in no time! 😎
