End of Heat， the 14th solar term among the twenty－four solar terms， means＂the end of the hot summer＂． It implies that with each autumn rain， the coldness intensifies． After the pattering rain， the scorching sun no longer burns， cicadas no longer chirp， the passionate midsummer fades away gradually， and the feeling of autumn becomes stronger and stronger．＂Looking at the withered lotus in the pond， longing for the fragrance of osmanthus on the tree．＂

In the early autumn， the sky is high and the clouds are pale． This solar term marks the end of the sweltering and unbearable weather． However， the receding of the summer heat is a gradual process． It doesn＇t mean it becomes cool immediately after the heat drops． The lingering influence of the＂Autumn Tiger＂ should not be underestimated． After End of Heat， the weather is very cool in the morning and evening， and the temperature difference between day and night increases， making people feel a distinct＂autumn＂ flavor．

Time brings the fragrance of rice flowers， which is the most reassuring scent． At this time， the middle－season rice ripens and cotton bolls open． Suddenly， the cool breeze gradually rises， and eventually there is a bumper harvest of all grains． These are all gifts that this solar term brings to the world． By the time of End of Heat， more than half of the year has passed． Every flower and every scene has its ups and downs． Isn＇t life the same？ Instead of sighing for the passing time， it＇s better to resolutely engage in the present and live each day seriously．

处暑，是二十四节气中的第14个节气，处暑，即为“出暑”，意味着一场秋雨一场寒。在淅淅沥沥的雨水过后，炎阳不再炙烤，蝉儿不再鸣叫，热情的盛夏渐行渐远，秋天的感觉愈来愈浓。“望一池荷花残，盼一树桂花香。”

初秋时节，天高云淡，这一节气，已到了酷热难熬的天气的尾声。但暑热消退是一个缓慢的过程，并不是暑气下降马上就凉爽了，秋老虎的余威不容小觑。处暑后早晚天气十分的凉快，昼夜温差增大，会让人觉得有明显的“秋”味了。

时光带来了稻花香，这是最有安全感的香味，此时中稻成熟，棉花吐絮。忽而凉风渐起，终有五谷丰登，都是这个节气带回人间的礼物，时至处暑，一年已过大半，一花一景都有枯有荣，人生何尝不是如此，与其为消尽的时光叹息，不如果断地投入当下，认真过好每一天。
