September 7 marks Bailu, or White Dew, the 15th of the 24 solar terms on the Chinese lunar calendar. It is the period when the summer heat fades away as the cool sets in. The temperature gap between day and night increases, which forms dew. Migratory birds such as geese and swallows start flying south to escape the chill, and other birds begin to store food for the winter.
