Although Start of Autumn indicates the beginning of autumn, hot weather will not come to an end. The period of hot days after Start of Autumn, usually lasting for 30 days, is called "Autumn Tiger" or "Indian Summer." Because of decreasing precipitation, it is even more sweltering during this period than during Major Heat.
虽然立秋预示着秋天的开始，但是炎热的天气还远没有结束。立秋过后，炎热的天气通常还会再持续30天，这段时间被称之为“秋老虎”，北美人称之为“印第安夏”。这一段时间甚至会比大暑还要热。
One leave falls, autumn arrives
一叶知秋
When it comes to this season, the leaves of the firmianatree start to fall, thus there is a saying of "One leave falls, autumn arrives." When the sun reaches the celestial longitude of 135 degrees, the summer is passing away and the weather turns cold gradually. People can feel the wind is getting cool and see fogs in the morning sometimes.
每到这个季节，梧桐树开始落叶，由此得来一种说法“一叶知秋”。当太阳直射点到达天文经度135°时，夏天就过去了，天气也逐渐转冷。人们可以感觉到风渐冷，时而早上会见到雾。
