Limit of Heat
The fourteenth among the 24 solar terms usually falls around 23 August when the sun reaches the celestial longitude of 150 degrees and signifies that summer is coming to an end.
During this period, the weather fluctuates; it is occasionally humid like summer and sometimes dry like autumn. It is good to eat Chinese dates, ricebean, lotus seed, black soy bean, etc. Some types of seafood can help get rid of internal dampness while nourishing the yin, such as cuttlefish, crucian carp, hairtail fish, mudfish, oyster and clam. As temperature deviations between morning and night become more pronounced, it is advised to shut windows and cover the tummy with a thin sheet to keep warm.
