For a thermodynamic system obeying both the equipartition theorem in high temperature and the third law in low temperature, the curve showing relationship between the specific heat and the temperature has two common behaviors:\ it terminates at zero when the temperature is zero Kelvin and converges to a constant as temperature is higher and higher. Since it is always possible to find the characteristic temperature $T_{C}$ to mark the excited temperature as the specific heat almost reaches the equipartition value, it is reasonable to find a temperature in low temperature interval, complementary to $T_{C}$. The present study reports a possibly universal existence of the such a temperature $\vartheta$, defined by that at which the specific heat falls \textit{fastest} along with decrease of the temperature. For the Debye model of solids, above the temperature $\vartheta$ the Debye's law starts to fail.
