🤖Draw on blockchain : While Summer doesn't want to leave, but the Autumn arrives 爭秋奪暑

After Liqiu, every day is a loop of cool morning and hot night. And with the frequent typhoon this year, humid and hot days followed by storms weekly. My mother always says the weather now is 爭秋奪暑. In fact, after Liqiu, there is a tern Chushu. I tried to find the explanation of it:
Chushu reflects the changing of temperature. Chu means stop and shu means summer, so Chushu indicates that the hot summer is ending. However, in fact, it is not cool yet at the moment and could be still very hot in some days, especially in the afternoon of sunny days. This is also a busy season of harvesting for farmers.
立秋過後,單日天氣一直循環於早涼晚熱的狀態。而且今年颱風特別多,悶極幾天又來一場大風雨。老媽最近四個字常掛口邊,「爭秋奪暑」。好奇下搜了一下,原來是立秋之後的節氣叫處暑,「處」即停止的意思。立了秋,但夏天還要來一場謝幕戲份,這就是爭秋奪暑:
曆書記載:「斗指戊為處暑,暑將退,伏而潛處,故名也」。所以有俗語說:爭秋奪暑,是指立秋和處暑之間的時間,雖然秋季在意義上已經來臨,但夏天的暑氣仍然未減。

處暑之日,鷹乃祭鳥。又刷日,天地始肅。又五日,禾乃登。
When I search for Chushu, there is a old pentad describing it.There are 3 stages of Chushu. On the first day, the eagle feels the coming of Autumn and start hunting for food stock. The second stage, the land and lifes become silent and condense. Finally, gold harvest comes.
It is amazing that the old ancient calendar and season indicators still apply today's weather. This reminds me what I study in high school Chinese Language and Culture lesson. Our ancients observed the nature and live with nature. This is the spirit what we likely forget nowadays. People and media always say that the weather and climate is extreme or become extreme. The Earth is changing itself, but we can't ignore what we had done to the nature. We are also making changing to the weather and climate. There may be someday the old indicators no more fit the my life, if we keep exhausting the Earth :-(
看處暑的資料時,看到上面的一句處暑時訓。原來處暑分三段。首先鷹感應到秋天到來,要去捕獵食物。之後天地開始肅清靜默。最後,農作物到達黃金收成期。
令我有點驚訝的是這些古人觀察出來的節氣,到今天仍然實用。這令我想起以前高中時的中文課,讀到天人合一的理念。在發展的競賽裡,我們都好像忘記了先人的智慧。到今天常常聽到氣候反常和環保的呼籲。我覺得地球它自己一直在變化,但也無可否認人們的行為也在影響著它,而且也不輕。或許有一天,這些節氣也不再合用,變成單純的古藉研究了。

哈哈 XD
與內文有點關聯又有點無關,純粹有感而發,
我時常覺得,人類往往過於自負,不論提倡環保與否,
觀點上總是將地球視為一種所有物去對待,
但若從宇宙宏觀來看,
人類之與地球根本是渺小到可以忽略計算的存在,
而我們在這個星球上所做的任何事,
會影響的只有自身種族的延續和文明的存亡,
譬如妳所說的,節氣不再合用之類的;
或許,
我們應該要把「愛護地球」的口號改成「拯救人類」才比較合乎現實,
相信人們若都從這樣的角度出發,才更學的會謙遜,
也不會把"創造人類適居環境"的行為當成一種對地球的付出。

還是要說一下,妳的畫作很有想像力,整體成品的畫面也相當平衡呢,
而且與文章呼應的方式也很有意思,很棒! : D
我也有想過這問題,在有人類之前地球也是自有周期定律和調節。九十年代這邊有一個宣傳廣告說「地球先生生病了」洗腦得很,其實是我們的生存環境受威脅而已。冰河期的地球也是地球。不過如果還想有下一代的話,及早自救也是必要的。

謝謝讚賞~(偷笑)
不過我才發現日期寫在2018了
From one artist to another this is really cool thanks for sharing, you have a new follower too :).
Whoa, the colors! I love this style, it's playful yet very firm and professional. I'd love to see animations in this style.
