Knowledge expansion:

The dog days, which appear between the light summer heat and the hot summer heat, are the time when the temperature is the highest and it is humid and sultry 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 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.

Dog days, one volt is ten days, counted by days. Therefore, the dog days are divided into three days, that is to say, after the third day of Gengtian, the summer solstice is the first day, the first volt.
