Start of Autumn

立秋

立秋是中国传统二十四节气（the 24 traditional Chinese solar terms）中的第十三个节气，标志着夏日的结束和秋天的到来。所以立秋的英文表达为Start of Autumn，是不是很简单？

尽管立秋的到来预示着凉爽秋日的开始，但酷热的天气并未完全结束，“秋老虎”的威力不容小觑。

The period of hot days after Start of Autumn, usually lasting for 30 days, is called "Autumn Tiger" or "Indian Summer". Because of the decreasing precipitation, it is even more sweltering during this period than during Major Heat. 立秋之后的高温天气通常会持续30天左右，这就是人们所说的“秋老虎”。由于降雨量减少，这段时间甚至比大暑时更加闷热。 Autumn Tiger：秋老虎 sweltering：闷热的

立秋对农民来说是非常重要的收获时节。

There is a saying that goes: "If it rains on the day of the Start of Autumn, a good harvest is expected." ‍俗话说：“立秋雨淋淋，遍地是黄金。”
