What number is it?

From July 1 1 in 2023 to August 20th. The dog days will last for 40 days this year.

Initial period: July11-July 20th, *** 10 days; Mid-range: July 21-August 9, ***20 days; Terminal: August10-August 19, *** 10 days.

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. Three volts can be divided into initial, middle and final volts, and its date is determined by the coordination of 24 solar terms and the dates of dry and branch. After "entering the volt", many places in the country will enter the continuous high temperature mode.

The traditional almanac stipulates that "counting from the third Geng day in summer", that is to say, "counting down from the summer day until the third Geng day" is about to begin to dormant. The "Geng Day" here refers to the days prefixed with "Geng" in the ancient "Ganzhi Jiri Law". "crouching" means being forced to hide underground; This also means that it is too hot to move.

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.

Precautions for healthy sleep:

After sleeping, don't look at the hot weather, I feel the yang is very strong. The old man said that he would "help Yang", which is reasonable. In summer, the sun is scattered on the surface and the inside is empty. Coupled with the hot weather, the human body sweats a lot, which will undoubtedly lead to the loss of nutrition.

The method of "supporting yang" is actually relatively simple, that is, changing the structure through diet, such as eating more food suitable for tonic.

"Summer tonic, winter tonic", when you enter the dog days, you should pay attention to tonic. As for how to make it, it is not the same between the north and the south. For example, there is a saying in the north that jiaozi is easy to make tonic, which means that you will eat jiaozi tonic when you enter the dog days, but in the south, especially in Hunan and Jiangxi, it becomes ducks and chickens, which means ducks are easy to eat ducks.

Therefore, according to the customs of the north and the south, northerners prefer to eat pasta and southerners eat meat. So when in Rome, do as the Romans do. jiaozi in the north and ducks in the south are quite suitable according to our own place.
