Minor Heat (Xiaoshu), the 11th traditional Chinese solar term, falls on July 7 this year. A prelude to high summer, the solar term, the ancient Chinese observed, unfolds in three pentads of roughly five days each: warm breezes stir, crickets retreat to courtyards, and eagles soar high above the rising heat. Tang Dynasty poet Yuan Zhen wrote, "With the arrival of the warm breeze, Minor Heat takes its ease." People seek the shade of trees, while cats curl up in cool corners. All living beings embrace stillness to escape the heat. A quiet mind is the greatest comfort of all. 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most wat
