Stopping the Hear

处暑是中国传统二十四节气（the 24 traditional Chinese solar terms）中的第十四个节气，也是继立秋之后的第二个秋季节气。

《月令七十二候集解》说：「处，去也，暑气至此而止矣。」也就是说处暑意味着暑气消退，秋天真正来临。处暑的常见英文翻译有以下几种：

• End of Heat
• the Limit of Heat
• the Stopping of Heat
• stopping the heat

It is the 14th solar term. It more often refers in particular to the day when the Sun is exactly at the celestial longitude of 150°. It usually begins around 23 August.

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.

在中国，长城以北的地区将会在九月初进入秋季。人们可以欣赏自夏入秋逐渐变化的景色。

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.

但是在某些地区，特别是中国南方，秋天迟迟未至，人们依旧被酷热的天气困扰。处暑对农民而言也是忙碌的丰收季
