蒙學漢文初階 第三十課 Beginning Chinese - Entry Level Lesson #30 凡物熱則化 all things hot then melt 冷則凝 cold then gel 故夜寒則露結霜 hence night cold then dew harden frost 日出則霜融 sun out then frost melts 冬寒則水結冰 winter cold then water harden ice 春暖則冰解 spring warmth then ice melts All things when heated, melt; when cold, they gel. Hence the cold of the night turns dew into frost and when the sun comes out, it melts. The cold of winter solidifies water into ice. The warmth of spring melts it.
