1. "The Beginning of Summer" by Lu You of the Song Dynasty

The shade of the locust trees and willows is first dense, but the heat from the curtains is still weak. When the sun sets, take a bath and try on unlined clothes.

Translation: The locust trees and willow trees gradually provide thicker green shade; the curtains and windows are closed, but the heat is still mild. The sun was setting in the west. After taking a refreshing and comfortable bath, I skillfully tried on summer clothes.

2. "Summer in the Mountain Pavilion" by Gao Pian of the Tang Dynasty

The summer is long and shaded by green trees, and the reflection of the balcony is reflected in the pond. The crystal curtain moves and the breeze rises, filling the courtyard with roses and incense.

Translation: The green trees are lush and the summer is long, and the reflection of the balcony is reflected in the pond. The crystal curtains swayed gently in the breeze, and the shelves full of roses filled the courtyard with fragrance.

3. Wei Yingwu of the Tang Dynasty's "Remembering the Brothers in the Capital on the Beginning of Summer"

Changed the order to read Fangchen, and the tired days will last forever. The summer trees have turned into yin, and the public gate is always quiet during the day.

Translation: The season has changed. I miss the beautiful spring and feel depressed because the days are too long. In summer, the trees are shady, and the Yamen is peaceful during the day.

4. Hu Yan of the Ming Dynasty's "Long Rain Happens to Sunny Tomorrow to Begin Summer"

I was tired of the sound of rain in January, but suddenly it will be sunny today. Spring comes from the flowers, and the wind blows through the bamboos.

Translation: It has been raining for a long time, and it has been a month. Today, it is finally sunny. Tomorrow will be the beginning of summer. The flowers on the branches have fallen, spring has gone, and the wind blows through the bamboo forest, refreshing and cool.

5. "The Beginning of Summer after the Rain" by Ming Dynasty Xie Zhen

The first rain has passed in the mountain city, but spring is still left in the world. Farewell to the east wind again, it’s time to travel with a sigh.

Translation: It has just rained in the mountain city, and there is still the breath of spring between heaven and earth. It is about to say goodbye to spring. As a person who is traveling abroad, I always feel sad. Every change of season reminds those who are wandering of the passage of time.
