立秋 BEGGNNING OF AUTUMN
当晚风渐渐拂去夏日的燥热
当蝉鸣也开始时断时续
当夏天带着无尽的秘密悄然离去
秋天的第一个节气
立秋
伴随着早晚的凉风
悄然来到我们身边
二十四节气中的中华文化之立秋（中文版）
立秋，收获诗意时光
“兹晨戒流火，商飙早已惊。
云天收夏色，木叶动秋声。”
过了立秋，梧桐树开始落叶，
因此有“一叶知秋”的成语。
“秋”字由“禾”与“火”组成，
预示着稻谷的成熟，
而立秋的到来正像一把火，
为我们的周遭装点了许多暖色。
黄色的银杏叶、火红的枫叶、橙色的橘子……
大自然的“调色板”仿佛焕然一新。
立秋（中国画） 戴树良
画家戴树良的《立秋》，
以巧妙的构图设计和丰富的细节，
呈现了立秋习俗，透露出浓郁的生活气息。
橙红的南瓜高高低低、大大小小，像灯笼一样挂在藤梢，
人们在院子里一边啃着西瓜，
一边将楸叶剪成各式花样佩戴在头上，
欢乐祥和的气氛充溢着画面。
民间有在立秋这一天全家一起吃西瓜的习俗，
称为“啃秋”或“咬秋”。
刘向晖的作品《立秋》，
是一幅充满童趣和幻想的水彩插画，
描绘了一个能与高山比肩的超级大西瓜，
红色的瓜瓤如湖水一般充盈，
小女孩儿坐在香甜的“湖边”垂钓，
露出惬意而满足的笑容。
唐德福的《山百合》是一幅长卷作品，
描绘了立秋时节，重庆武陵山腹地，
酉阳县车田乡勤劳持家的绣女们
热火朝天的忙碌情景。
勤劳的绣女们就像立秋时节的山百合一样
坚强地长在深山、开在深山，
用她们的聪明才智和勤劳双手，
一针一线绣出了一幅
脱贫致富奔小康的美丽生活画卷。
秋蕴（水彩画） 陈福春
陈福春的《秋蕴》中，
生命的活力似在衰退，
但萧瑟的美感却在其间绽放。
杨名贵的《咏秋》，
自然造化的雄奇与人间烟火的温情集于一画，
壮阔的山川在朦胧秋意的滋润下也变得温婉、动人。
立秋（中国画） 王爱忠
王爱忠的《立秋》，
丝丝凉意混杂着落叶的淡淡味道扑面而来，
彻底赶走了尚未完全消散的暑热。
秋风、秋叶、秋雨、秋月
在这个富有诗意的时刻，
细细品尝最是宜人的自然。

二十四节气中的中华文化之立秋（英文版）
Start of Autumn: A Poetic Solar Term
“This morning, sweltering heat is gone;
Autumnal winds sweep hither and yon.
Cloud-flecked sky displays no tint of summer;
Swaying foliage composes an autumnal song.” (Trans. by Li 2021)
In early August, comes the solar term Start of Autumn, when Chinese parasol trees shed their leaves, hence the idiom “one leaf heralds the autumn”.
The Chinese character for “autumn” composes two parts: crop fire, meaning “ripening of crops”.
The right part “fire” also indicates the warm colors decorating this solar term.
Yellow ginkgoes, red maples, and mandarin oranges…
all constitute a renewed “palette” of the nature.

The painting by Dai Shuliang,
presents customs and real life scenarios of this solar term,
demonstrating a skillful composition as well as vivid details.
Pumpkins of different sizes are like red hanging lanterns on the vines;
women and children are eating watermelons
while making headdresses out of Catalpa leaves.
What a joyful and harmonious scene!

The whole family eating watermelons together is a custom of this solar term,
namely, “A Bite of Autumn”.
Painted with mischievous imagination, this watercolour illustration by Liu Xianghui
depicts a super watermelon which is comparable to a mountain.
The red-fleshed watermelon resembles a lake filled with sweetness,
beside which sits a little girl, fishing
and showing a pleasant and contented smile.

The scroll painting by Tang Defu
shows a rural scene during Start of Autumn, in which women in the deep mountain area of Southwest China’s Chongqing are trained to master the art of the intangible cultural heritage - Miao Embroidery.
These intelligent and diligent women, are as strong and tenacious as
mountain lilies blooming in autumn.
With their embroideries sold at home and abroad, they manage to create a lovely life scroll featuring poverty alleviation through promoting intangible cultural heritage.

The painting by Chen Fuchun
reminds us of the impermanence of everything,
but fully capturing the beauty in the bleakness.
In the painting by Yang Minggui,
the majestic natural wonders are adorned with human habitation,
with the grand and lofty mountains softened by the hazy autumnal atmosphere.
The painting by Wang Aizhong
imparts a refreshing coolness blended with a delicate scent of falling leaves,
chasing away the last bit of summer heat.
With the autumnal breezes, foliage, rain and moon,
nature has blessed us with many poetic scenes and moments
during the solar term Start of Autumn.
四季流转
夏日随着一抹火热消逝
但闲静夏日的快乐时光
已在心中收藏
经过时光的沉淀
收获的季节已经到来
愿你在这个秋天
收获属于自己的芳香
