In Chinese culture, extreme weather like sweltering summer heat is believed to heighten internal fire (huoqi) and irritability, making emotional restraint and filial deference even more essential.

💡 Cultural Insight: Family Mediation and Filial Deference

When an argument erupts between a parent and child, another family member often steps in to admonish the younger party to yield and restore peace, prioritizing maternal emotional comfort.
