In China, regions beyond the Great Wall will enter autumn in early September. People can enjoy the gradual change of scenery from summer to autumn. But in some areas, especially in South China, autumn is late in coming and people are still bothered by hot weather. End of Heat is also the busy harvest season for farmers.
There is a saying that goes, “People tend to feel sleepy in spring, doze in summer and feel tired in autumn.” As the weather becomes cool during End of Heat, many people will feel languid and weary, which is called “autumn weariness”.

NO.2? 處暑后的變化2：巧云現
處暑來，暑氣漸散。天空中散落的流云變化成各種形狀。俗話說：“七八月，看巧云。”
When the End of Heat comes, summer heat has gone. Clouds scatter around in the sky, forming different shapes. There is a saying that goes, “Enjoying the clouds of various forms in July and August (lunar month).”
The night-blooming cereus is a flower full of mystery, which often blooms during the period of End of Heat. This is because the climate during End of Heat, characterized by warm days and cold nights, is similar to tropical deserts. Night-blooming cereus originates in the tropical deserts from Mexico to Brazil in South America. They blossom at night to avoid the blazing daytime sun.
