What is the solar term for accommodation?

Squatting is not a solar term. Squatting means entering the dog days.

Three volts is divided into initial, middle and final volts, which is the hottest period in a year. The dog days appear in the Gregorian calendar from mid-July to mid-August every year, and its climatic characteristics are high temperature, low pressure, high humidity and low wind speed.

"V" refers to being forced to hide underground, and the date of three volts is determined by the coordination of the solar terms and the dates of the dry calendar. Because every Geng day is 10 days apart, the stipulated time of the first day and the last day is 10 days. Because the third Geng Day (the first autumn) after long summer appeared sooner or later, the days of autumn were long and short.

According to the traditional calendar, the third day after long summer entered the first stage, the fourth day entered the middle stage, and the first day after beginning of autumn entered the final stage, which are collectively called "dog days". The first and last days are 10 days, and the middle days are sometimes 10 days and sometimes 20 days. The length of accommodation is not fixed every year, and the length of accommodation is also different. You need to look up the almanac to calculate, which can be simply expressed by the four-word formula of "Summer Solstice Day Three Geng".
