The above are 6 solar terms in summer. And Greater Heat is the hottest solar term in the year. We all feel the hotness these days. So, what should we do to keep cool?

Maybe is to wear a hat because you will feel extremely hot if you don’t wear it. How to choose? Just meet the following points: protect against the sun, heat dissipation, breezy and perspiration absorption. And you’d better choose the light color, especially the white one.
