Minor Heat: Secrets to feel cool and refreshed

Xinhua | July 7, 2023

Come to the classical cultural Daguan Garden in Beijing and discover how ancient Chinese escape the heat with Xinhua correspondents Shamim Zakaria and Liu Jie, as they explore the Chinese solar term "Xiaoshu," or Minor Heat.

It is the 11th solar term of a year and the fifth solar term in the summer. As "Xiaoshu" arrives, the dog days of sanfu, the hottest period of summer, will soon begin.

Do not hate the long hot days, but stay in a pleasant mood; don't be angry, but let your face be as beautiful as a budding flower. In this hot summer, if the heart is calm, everything is peaceful.
