It should be dog days in summer.

"Dog days" is the general name of the first, middle and last three days, and it is the hottest season in a year. It appears from mid-July to mid-August in the solar calendar every year. Its climate is characterized by high temperature, low pressure, high humidity and low wind speed. "V" means being forced to hide underground. According to the climate law of the lunar calendar in China, predecessors have long stipulated that "the third Geng day after long summer begins with the first day, the fourth Geng day begins with the second day, and the first Geng day after beginning of autumn ends with the third day, with the first ten days, the middle ten days, the twentieth day, and the third forty days.

Three volts definition

"Fu" can be called "Long Summer", and "Fu" is the alternate arrangement of five elements to the seasons, in which "Fu" is "Earth". "V" means being forced to hide underground. Spring, summer, autumn and winter are labeled as wood, fire, gold and water by the five elements. Spring and summer are long, summer, autumn and winter are five seasons in a year. From autumn to winter, water is born in gold, aquatic wood is made by wood, and it is naturally circulated. But from summer to autumn, this is not the case. Huo and Jin dare not come out. It needs to lurk for a while, and "lurk" is the original meaning of "crouching".

Autumn belongs to "Geng Xin Gold", so "ambush" should start from "Geng Day". The temperature is the highest, and it needs to be hidden for 20 days from summer to the future, so it starts from summer to the third "watch" in the future. "Geng Day" is "Jia Zi Ji Ri", and its time difference with solar terms such as summer solstice is uncertain, so there will be 40 days of "Fu" and 30 days of "Fu".

Among them, the hottest of the three volts is the middle volt.

2 Detailed explanation

The specific date of the dog days is determined by the solar term date and the dry branch date. According to the traditional calculation method in China, the third and fourth Geng days from summer to the future are the start dates of the first (recumbent) and the second (recumbent) respectively, and the first Geng day after beginning of autumn is the first day of the last (recumbent). Gengri is an auspicious day with the word "Geng", such as Gengzi, Gengyin and Chen Geng ... such dates are published in rural yearbooks every year.

Because the third and fourth Geng days are the first days of initial lodging and intermediate lodging, and the interval between each Geng day is 10 day, the initial lodging time is 10 day, and the final lodging rule is 10 day. The incubation time is long or short, which may be 10 day or 20 days. Every year, the third Geng day after the summer solstice solar term appears in the morning and evening, so the number of days in the middle is different, so there is a difference of 30 days in some years and 40 days in some years.

The dog days appear between the hot summer and the hot summer, and it is the hottest, humid and sultry day of the year.

The time of accommodation is not fixed every year, and the length of accommodation is also different. You need to check the almanac to calculate it. Simply put, we can use the formula of "Xia San Geng" to express the lodging date, that is, from the third Geng day in Xia Hou, the initial lodging is 10 day, the intermediate lodging is 10 day or 20 days, and the final lodging is 10 day. In ancient China, the "trunk-branch calendar" was popular, and 60 groups of different names were used to record dates with 10 heavenly stems and 12 earthly branches, which were recycled. The day with the word "Geng" is called "Geng Day". The word "Geng" in Geng Day is the seventh word in "A, B, C, D, E, Ji, G, Xin, Ren, Gui" 10 day, and it is repeated every 10 day. Starting from the summer solstice, according to the date of trunk, the third Geng day is the first, the fourth Geng day is the middle, and the 1 th Geng day after beginning of autumn is the last. When there are four Geng days between the summer solstice and the beginning of autumn, the middle part is 10 days, and when there are five Geng days, the middle part is 20 days. It seems that the emergence of Gengri will affect the length of the first half sooner or later, so there will be 30 days in some years and 40 days in some years.

The so-called "dog days" refer to the first, middle and last three Geng days, and their specific dates are calculated according to the ancient China dry branch method. In the twenty-four solar terms of China lunar calendar, the third Geng day after "summer" is the first, the fourth Geng day is the middle, and the first Geng day after "beginning of autumn" is the last.

The dog days are the hottest, the highest temperature and the most vigorous yang in a year. At this stage, the human body relaxes and the meridians and blood circulate, which is conducive to the penetration and absorption of drugs. Gengri is also related to lung gold (Gengri is gold, belonging to the large intestine, and the large intestine and the lung are both exterior and interior), which is the best opportunity to dispel potential cold pathogens by warming the lungs with yang. In addition, the acupoints of bladder meridian and Du meridian, which have the functions of warming meridians, dispelling cold, resolving phlegm and relieving asthma, are carefully selected for application. They complement each other and help to strengthen the body resistance and eliminate pathogens, so they can play a role in preventing and treating diseases.

The content has completely explained the origin and definition of the dog days in ancient China, but it can also be simply understood as: "Dog days" means that the weather is too hot to move, and it is the hottest 30 to 40 days in a year in the Central Plains. According to the lunar calendar, it is between mid-July and early August in the solar calendar.

Brief introduction of three words

The third Geng day after long summer is the first day of lodging, the fourth Geng day is the first day of intermediate lodging, and the first Geng day after beginning of autumn is the first day of last lodging, with the first lodging and the last lodging each 10 day and the intermediate lodging 10 day or 20 days. Usually refers to a period of time from the first day of the initial stay to the tenth day of the final stay. Dog days are usually the hottest time of the year.

food culture

As the saying goes, "cold has three or nine, and heat has three volts." On the dog days, on the one hand, the ancients used cool drinks to escape the heat, on the other hand, they also held corresponding custom activities, such as "drinking to ward off evil spirits". Over time, a unique diet custom culture has been formed.

According to documents, Furi, as a festival, began in the Qin Dynasty. It was not until the Han Dynasty that Fu Ri was associated with food customs. According to Nine Meanings of Han Dynasty, "There must be a meeting of drinking and eating on the day of Han and Wei Dynasties", which means drinking and gathering. "Han Shu" said: "Tian Jia worked hard, and when he was eighteen, he was full of wax, cooking and shooting sheep, and fighting for wine." It stands to reason that sheep erosion in dog days is unreasonable. Why do farmers cook sheep and drink wine in dog days? On the one hand, mutton has the function of nourishing the body, but the main reason is that farmers regard "Raf" as a festival and should celebrate it like Chinese New Year. In the Han Dynasty, in addition to people doing this, the court also had the court custom of sending meat to the sun.

Eating cold ice in dog days can be said to be the best summer food. As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, China had the practice of digging wells to store ice during the day. About the Sixteen States of Jin Dynasty, there was a court custom of delivering ice in midsummer. Jin's "Nakano Collection" said that there are three wells, such as Tongque and Hujin, in Linzhang County of Peng De's house. Wang Shi Keelung, the monarch of sixteen countries, once sent ice cubes to ministers on the well platform. Since then, this court custom has spread endlessly. In the Tang Dynasty, there were many kinds of ice in dog days. For example, there are "ice plates" and "ice melons" in Chang 'an, and the rich even hold "ice banquets". According to the Tianbao Legacy, "Every time Yang's brother (Yang Guifei's family) goes to the center of the cave, he brings big ice cubes for craftsmen to chisel the mountain around the banquet room." Although it is midsummer, all the people who go to the party are very cold and show indifferent colors. The court also gives iced food according to status.

The imperial court in Song Dynasty gave ice in midsummer, which inherited the tradition of Tang Dynasty. However, the objects given by the imperial court in Song Dynasty were very limited. Only modern officials and historians get ice cubes, and other officials only take a few days off. According to "Miscellaneous Notes at the Age of Years", "The Imperial Capital only gave ice to historians, and all the teachers just joined together. Since the first day of junior high school, I have iced ministers every day, a total of four boxes of people, six times in each box. " Give a yellow silk sweet bowl and three bottles of ice. As a minister around the emperor, it is not surprising that the minister has the closest relationship with the emperor and is given special care. But why are historians treated like the recent ministers? It turns out that historians in the Song Dynasty have no holidays on weekdays, and the nature of their work is different, so they have such exceptional treatment.

In the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court gave ice to every official. According to the Chronicle of Yanjing in Qing Dynasty, "From the summer of the capital to the day of beginning of autumn, the yamen gave ice. At that time, the Ministry of Industry will insist on giving the ice ticket and collecting it by itself. Different amounts, each with an equal difference. " For the first time in history, ice tickets were issued to attract ice, and this practice has been handed down. In the Qing Dynasty, folk ice was also colorful. Lu recorded the scene of Jiangsu and Zhejiang farmers selling methamphetamine. Among them, the frozen food is "a mixture of bayberry, peach and bonus, commonly known as iced bayberry and iced peach." "Notes on the Qing Dynasty" records the custom of entertaining guests with "bingguo" in summer in Beijing. Its article reads like this: "The banquet in Beijing in midsummer is set with advanced bingo. The frozen fruit is fresh walnut, fresh lotus root, fresh water chestnut, fresh lotus seed and so on, mixed with small ice cubes, cool and refreshing. Then there are four plates of hot meat. "

China is a vast country with different customs in different dynasties and regions. For example, the summer diet in the Northern Song Dynasty is "green purse" and "green lotus" is lotus leaf, which has the effect of clearing heat. In the dog days in Taizhou, Zhejiang, the old people have the custom of eating chicken porridge, which is called "Buyang". In a word, the origin of the custom of "Three Dog Foods" in China is related to the "Raf Festival" written in the Han Dynasty, which was originally an activity to celebrate agriculture. This also reflects the richness of China's diet custom culture from one side.
