The famous sayings about the beginning of summer are as follows:

1. "Gong Ci" It is the beginning of summer, and the shadows of the locust trees in front of the building are beginning to round. It is said that deep in the Purple Palace, there is a spring breeze blowing into Shunxian.

The first two sentences of this poem describe the phenomenon of catkins and poplars flying and locust branches and leaves growing up during the Beginning of Summer. The last two sentences praise the Qing Dynasty and harmony in the palace. "Shun Xian" refers to Shun who once played the five-stringed qin and sang "South Wind", hoping that the people would be safe. Later, it was used to refer to the benevolence of the monarch and peace in the world. All Tang poems record that the author is Empress Yang, but the specific identity is unclear.

According to "Western Qing Poetry" and other documents, this poem was probably written under the name of a poet named Lu Bing. Because he was ill, he entered a palace in his dream, some said it was Weiyang Palace. In the palace, he heard Queen Yang singing many poems, including this one, and he wrote it down after waking up.

2. "Chiyangshan Store" Several village stores are clustered beside the mountain, and the sun has set over the dangerous bridge. The frightened birds suddenly burst into the grass, and the mist broke, and the dark flowers fell into the ditch and the fragrance was fragrant. Time passes by and my heart is still in love. I will be crazy about thinking about it in the future. Unfortunately, I turned around and sounded the flute, and the wine flag was drawn diagonally out of the bamboo basket.

This poem also has a name: "Ode to Chiyang Shandian on April 20th". The scenery described in the poem is around the beginning of summer. In the evening, the author rode to Chiyangshan Inn and was about to stay. Suddenly, startled birds flew into the sky, dark flowers fell to the ground, and a breeze brought evening fragrance. This scene is so nostalgic that I want to continue to be intoxicated.

Suddenly a whistle blew, disrupting my thoughts. It turned out that I was at the wine shop and inn ahead. Although there are 56 words in the seven-melody poem, it only describes the moment when the horse is dismounted. It seems that time has stopped, and after reading it, I feel that it has a long meaning.

3. "Climbing Ma's Mountain Pavilion on the day before the Beginning of Summer" If you don't have a lot of worries and don't drink for three hours, everything will be over. The plums are raining before they turn yellow, and the cherries are about to ripen and warblers are on the lookout. Suddenly Xia was shocked to see Ming Dynasty established, and he was afraid that spring would change from here. The flowers are lonely with countless butterflies flying around, and the water is all over the place where frogs are croaking.

The author climbed the mountain and came to Ma's Pavilion, where he drank and played chess and had a great time. This poem describes the scene the day before the beginning of summer. The plums are not yet yellow, but the rainy season has arrived. The cherries are about to ripen, but the birds taste them first. Seeing this, the author suddenly realized that tomorrow will be the beginning of summer, and I am afraid that today's spring will be gone. The butterflies have flown to the mountains, and the flowers will wither and become lonely.

And the scene of summer is about to appear. The rain has swollen the creeks, and there are frogs chirping everywhere. The whole poem is filled with leisure and tranquility, showing the beauty of early summer.
