Yesterday was "Summer Commences," one of the twenty-four solar terms, marking the beginning of summer and signifying the end of spring, also known as "the day when spring ends." As we enter the Summer Commences season, people's metabolism speeds up, energy consumption increases, and the strong summer heart fire can easily lead to restlessness. It is advisable to arrange for reasonable rest times, pay attention to afternoon naps, and maintain a clear and refreshed state of mind, avoiding excessive fatigue and extreme emotions.

Yesterday marked the sixth solar term of the twenty-four solar terms, 'Grain Rain', which is also the last solar term of spring. It signifies an increase in rainfall, benefiting the growth of grain crops. During the Grain Rain season, the amount of rainfall increases significantly, and temperatures start to rise, transitioning towards summer.

Food weighing up to one ton was recently donated to the Food Commons Foundation! Over 18,000 community members in need have received this batch of food, which has helped to lessen their burdens, thanks to the donors' generosity.

Last Friday was " Bright and Clear," one of the 24 solar terms and the fifth solar term of spring, marking the transition between mid-spring and late spring. During the Bright and Clear period, temperatures rise, plants begin to sprout, and flowers bloom, creating a scene of spring and brightness. It is also a great time for spring outings.
