The End of Heat means that the autumn is really coming. The End of Heat also means the end of summer, marking when the hot weather will start coming to an end. The cool weather heralds the end of summer. It's the most comfortable season of the year.

处暑至，秋意来。

处暑，即为“出暑”，

暑热由此止息并潜藏起来。

天高气爽，预示着夏的真正告退，

到了一年之中最舒适的季节。

In autumn, the cool wind comes and the moonlight is boundless. The beautiful scenes of the End of Heat have been described in poems. Facing the hot autumn at the End of Heat, the Song Dynasty Poet Qiu Yuan wrote in The Weather After End of Heat,

凉风有信，秋月无边，

最美的处暑，还是在诗词里。

面对“秋老虎”余威犹存，

宋代诗人仇远在《处暑后风雨》中写道：

Fast wind comes with heavy rain, driving away the hot weather.

疾风驱急雨，残暑扫除空。

The Tang Dynasty Poet Bai Juyi expressed his emotions in Early Autumn in Qujiang,

唐代诗人白居易更是抒发《早秋曲江感怀》：

The hot weather comes to an end as the cool winds start. The autumn flavor is again on the pond, where lotus flowers have been full of fruits.

离离暑云散，袅袅凉风起。

池上秋又来，荷花关成子。

As summer turns to autumn, the fruit ripens and the lotus flowers in the pond become lotus pods, each full of green lotus seeds. The pomegranates bear fruits and green oranges hang on the branches. Some proverbs also describe the good harvest: Sorghum turns red everywhere at the End of Heat; The End of Heat brings ripe wheat and farmers start to build granaries.

由夏转秋，果实变得饱满，

池塘里的莲花变成莲蓬，结满青青的莲子。

石榴长了果，青橘挂枝头。

农谚中描绘出丰收景象：

“处暑高粱遍地红”

“处暑满地黄，家家修廪仓”。

Summer has come to an end. There is no harm in slowing down and experiencing the distinctive autumn and colorful life.夏天就此别过，不妨让脚步慢下来，感受别样秋色和精彩人生。
