Everything is flashy, lying at night and getting up early, insatiably basking in the sun, making people angry, making Huaying beautiful and venting their anger. If they suffer from external hardships, this summer's anger should be satisfied, and so should the road to growth. On the contrary, it is sad, coughing in autumn, few recipients, and serious illness in winter. " The three months of summer are the season when everything is thriving and beautiful. The weather drops, the earth's atmosphere rises, the heaven and the earth interact with each other, and everything blooms and bears fruit.
