"Autumn Tiger"

秋老虎

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 (July 23-August 7).

虽然立秋意味着秋天的开始,但是炎热的天气却不会因此结束。立秋后的一段时间（一般是30天左右），依旧很热，有“秋季虎”之称。由于降水量减少,这段时间比大暑(从8月23日至7月7日)更加闷热。

Fleshing out in autumn

贴秋膘

On the first day of the Start of Autumn, usually people will weigh themselves and compare their weight to what it was at the Start of Summer. If one has lost weight during the summer, then at the beginning of autumn, he or she needs to flesh out by eating many different kinds of delicious food, especially meat.

民间流行在立秋这天以悬秤称人，将体重与立夏时对比来检验肥瘦，如果夏天瘦了，那么立秋的时候当然需要“补”，补的办法就是“贴秋膘”，吃各种各种的美食佳肴，当然首选吃肉。

Gathering crops

秋收

Start of Autumn is a big solar term for farmers. It is time to gather crops. There is a saying: "If it rains on the day of the Start of Autumn, a good harvest is expected."
