Listening to Cicadas in Autumn Day "by Yang Wanli

The old fire ignites people's heads, but when autumn is not arrived, it brings sorrow.

A rain at night brings autumn, and tonight the cicadas begin to announce autumn.

The golden wind brings coolness, the dew begins to solidify, and the season flows into the beginning of autumn.'Standing' means beginning; Autumn "means that the grain is ripe and the harvest season has arrived. At this moment, the qi of heaven and earth quietly changes, the scorching sun gathers its sharpness, and the deep and clear yin quietly grows, indicating a subtle turning point from prosperity to convergence. All things no longer just stretch their branches, but instead sink and store within, silently depositing the scorching energy of summer into the rich foundation of autumn harvest. The world is quietly playing a grand and profound prelude to the harvest.
