End of Heat, the 14th solar term of the year, indicates the end of the heat of summer and the beginning of autumn in most areas of China. Duck soup cooked with lily root in the illustration is a popular choice for the season. In China, people often use "tiger" as a metaphor for the start of autumn that is often very hot. According to traditional Chinese medicine, duck meat has a cool nature that can help to detoxify the body during the hot season. [Photo by Li Xiaolin/provided to chinadaily.com.cn]
