Competition schedule in 2022

Entry date in 2022: June 2022 18, Year of the Tiger July 16 Saturday.

The dog days appear between the light summer heat and the heavy summer heat, which is the period with the highest temperature, humidity and sultry degree in a year. "V" means being forced to hide underground. There are three kinds of fu, namely, initial fu, middle fu and final fu, and their dates are determined by the date of solar terms and the date of dry calendar. After "entering the volt", many places in the country will enter the continuous high temperature mode.

According to the traditional calendar, "Voltages will start counting on the third day of the summer solstice", which means that volts will begin to decline after the third day of the summer solstice. The "Geng Day" here refers to the day when the prefix "Geng" was used in the ancient "Ganzhi Jiri Law".

The length of the dog days mainly lies in the difference between the middle and the next two days. Due to the different time of the third Geng day (the first autumn) after the summer solstice solar term every year, the number of days in mid-autumn is also different. There are long and short squats, which may be 10 days or 20 days. So there are two situations: some years are 30 days in dog days, and some years are 40 days.
