In ancient times, people believed that three things would happen during the End of Heat. The first thing is that eagles would begin to catch and hunt a lot of birds. The second is that the weather would turn cold and the whole world would seem solemn. The third is that fall harvests would be about to begin.

Eagles catch and hunt a lot of birds during this season. The birds hunted are usually displayed first like sacrifices before they are eaten by the eagles.

Everything begins to wither and the world is surrounded by the atmosphere of cold and death. It is said that people should restrain themselves in fall.

Crops such as millets, rice and grains mature during this season. Fall harvests are about to begin.
