Abstract
In youth we learn; In old age we understand. Life is as colorful and wonderful as the plants that are full of life in summer. Wang Zengqi described and depicted plants in different seasons in the chapters of "spring and autumn of plants", "autumn flowers in Beijing", "summer", "winter", "crape myrtle", "wintersweet", "Grass and trees on earth". He is always able to find the beauty of life from the ordinary existence, and can resonate with the flowers, insects, fish, birds and animals everywhere. Wang Zengqi's works are full of love and treasure for life. Based on the description of plants in “summer”, this paper analyzes the aesthetics of seasonal life and humanitarian feelings in Wang Zengqi's works.
