What are the poems that describe the hot weather?
1. Summer, drought and bitter heat
Song Dynasty: Wang Ling
The breeze cannot kill the heat, and the setting sun flies up the mountain with its wings.
Man is already afraid of the rivers and seas drying up, so why would God not hesitate to dry them up?
There is snow at the height of Kunlun, and it is always cold as far as Penglai.
If you can’t carry the world with you, how can you bear to swim around it?
Translation
The breeze has no power to drive away the heat of summer, and the sun setting in the west seems to have wings, hovering on the top of the mountain, refusing to descend. Everyone is worried that the rivers, lakes and seas will dry up in such a drought. Isn't God afraid that Geng Geng Yinhe will be dried up? The high Kunlun Mountains have snow that never melts all year round, and the distant Penglai Island has a coolness that never disappears.
I can’t take everyone in the world to escape the summer heat, so how can I bear to go there alone and have fun?
2. Climbing the West Tower in the bitter heat on a summer night
Tang Dynasty: Liu Zongyuan
Getting up at night in the bitter heat, he climbed the tower without clothes.
The mountains and rivers are filled with summer air, and the stars are shining brightly.
The fire crystals are dry and moist, and the wild winds are still and powerful.
Exploring the soup and draining the well, the stove opens its doors.
I have been wandering for a long time and cannot stop sweating.
Mo Bianting complained about Xuan and Ji's poisonous intentions.
Forgive me for not Gu Shezi, Jing Sheng An Nengxi.
Translation
The heat was unbearable. I got up in the middle of the night, put on my clothes and went to the west building to enjoy the cool air. The mountains and swamps are condensed with the scorching heat, and the Milky Way shines with light like a blue sky. The scorching sun has long dried up the dew that nourishes all things, and the wilderness is quiet but has no cool breeze to cool it. The heat wave is rolling, so I take a bath with well water, and I open the door to enjoy the coolness in the burning heat. I lingered for a long time leaning against the railing, sweat dripping down my body.
Is it possible to talk about maintenance when it’s so hot? Look up at Beidou and ask your questions to God. I know that I am not a virgin with skin like ice and snow on Gushe Mountain, and it is really hopeless to try to overcome the heat with tranquility.
3. Viewing the cut wheat
Tang Dynasty: Bai Juyi
The earthy atmosphere is steaming in the summer heat, and the sky is burning on the back.
I am exhausted and don’t know how hot it is, but it’s a pity that the summer is long.
Translation
Their feet were fumigated by the heat from the ground, and their spines were basking in the hot sunshine. Exhausted, it’s as if I don’t know the weather is hot, and I just cherish the long summer.
4. Chasing the coolness on summer nights
Song Dynasty: Yang Wanli
The heat at night is still the same as the heat at noon, and the moon is bright when the door is opened.
Where the bamboos are deep and the trees are densely populated with insects, there is sometimes a slight coolness that is not the wind.
Translation
The weather is hot at noon in summer, but I didn’t expect it to be so hot at night. Open the door and stand under the moonlight for a while. At this time, the chirping of insects came from the bamboo forest and trees in the distance, and waves of cool feeling came to us. However, this is not the wind, maybe it is the quiet coolness of nature?
5. Summer Sigh
Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
Going out of the northeast in summer, Lingtian Jingzhong Street.
The red light penetrates the thick ground, how can the gloomy steam bloom?
There has been no thunder in the sky for a long time, and no one has commanded you to be good.
The rain does not wet things, and the fertile fields turn yellow.
The birds die from the heat, and the fish in the pond dry up their mud.
Translation
In summer, the sun rises from the northeast. At noon, the sun is right overhead, burning brightly. The sun is shining through the thick earth, and the heat is unbearable. Is there any way to relieve this unbearable sweltering heat? The sky has not thundered or rained for a long time. Could it be that the order was abnormal? Even the rain could not nourish everything because the fields were dry and dusty. Birds and pond fish all died due to drought and intense heat.
