吃鸭

Duck has a sweet flavor and according to Chinese traditional medicine it has a "cool" nature. A folk tradition is to eat duck during the End of Heat period.

开渔节

For fishermen, the End of Heat is a season of harvest. During this period, the Fishing Season Festival is held in regions along the coastline of the East China Sea in Zhejiang province. The festival is held on the day when the fishing ban ends and fishermen can start fishing again. Due to high temperatures in the sea, stocks of fish remain and become mature. People can enjoy many kinds of seafood during this period.

对渔民来说，处暑也是收获的时节。浙江沿海地区会举办开渔节，即禁渔结束，渔民们可以重新开始捕鱼。由于海水温度高，鱼类成熟且数量庞大，此时也是享用海鲜的好时机！
