开渔节 Fishing Festival
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!

出游迎秋 Welcoming the autumn
处暑之后，秋意渐浓，正是人们畅游郊野迎秋赏景的好时节。处暑过，暑气止，就连天上的那些云彩也显得疏散而自如，而不像夏天大暑之时浓云成块。民间向来就有“七月八月看巧云”之说，其间就有“出游迎秋”之意。
Around the end of heat, there are often celebrating activities in the folk to welcome the autumn. Nowadays, people often take a trip in the mountains to enjoy the beautiful autumn views.
《 闲 适 》
宋·陆游
四时俱可喜，最好新秋时。
柴门傍野水，邻叟闲相期。
The four seasons are happy, and the best time is the new autumn
Chaimen is near the wild water, and the old people are idle
