Five days is the waiting period, and three days is the solar term.

According to our calendar in China, five days is a waiting period, three waiting periods are one breath, six waiting periods are one breath and four hours are one year old. Year and year are two different concepts. Year refers to the natural year from the first day of the first month of this year to the first day of the first month of next year. Years old means that the period from a certain solar term this year to the same solar term next year is a year of return. A natural year is 365 days and a tropical year is 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds.
