In July, a cool summer dream

When Chinese scholars spend summer at home, they can taste the beauty of life from a cup of tea, a pot of bonsai and three or two flowers and plants; The six stories of Floating Life by Shen Fu, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, outlines the picture of home in summer. He makes a self-made flower screen to block out the sun in the courtyard to find leisure. Western literati describe the summer scene. The most impressive one is "recalling the passage of time". The book mentions the "summer orange water" that often appears in after dinner parties. The French novelist Marcel Proust depicts the cool picture of the breeze from the story of a fruit.

May you also have a cool love affair with summer at home!
