Competition schedule in 2022

Entry date in 2022: July, 2022/KLOC-Saturday, 0/6, June, Year of the Tiger 18.

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

According to the traditional almanac, "Voltages will begin to be calculated on the third day of the summer solstice", which means that the number 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 dog days mainly lies in the difference between middle and next days. Because the third Geng day (the first autumn) after the summer solstice solar term occurs at different times every year, the number of days in the middle autumn is also different. The incubation time is long or short, which may be 10 day or 20 days. So there are two situations: some years are 30 days in dog days, and some years are 40 days.
