People find various ways to beat the heat in the dog days. Some relax under the shade and listen to singing cicadas. Some choose to get close to water and enjoy waterfalls and waves. In the area of Guangdong, people eat grass jelly to avoid the bother of summer heat.
“老柳蜩螗噪，荒庭熠燿流。”
——宋·司馬光《六月十八日夜大暑》
盛夏夜里的流螢飛舞，成為夏之舞曲里的星光音符，與如水夜色和漫天繁星遙遙相映。
