A poem written by Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) describes the scenery during the End of Heat period.

“When End of Heat comes, the summer clouds in the sky are breaking up just like the summer heat itself. Cool winds are curling upward. The pond is also surrounded by the atmosphere of autumn. All lotuses have turned into seeds due to the arrival of autumn.”
