Is three volts a solar term?

Dog days are miscellaneous solar terms other than the twenty-four solar terms.

In order to adjust the climate, the ancients summarized the solar terms in the hottest period of the year according to the laws to be followed. Because the time span is long, it does not belong to the category of 24 solar terms, so the dog days are miscellaneous solar terms. Dog days are divided into three sections, the first section, the second section and the last section, dog days.

The dog days appear between midsummer and hot summer, which is the highest, wettest and sultry day of the year. The so-called "dog days" refers to the "dog days" of the lunar calendar, which is the hottest time of the year. It can be understood that "V" means that it is too hot to have a rest. The dog days are the hottest thirty or forty days in a year in the Central Plains. The dog days are calculated according to the lunar calendar, and the solar calendar is from mid-July to early August.

Preventive measures in dog days

In China, summer is a very hot season, and dog days are the hottest period in summer. The temperature in this period is usually very high, even reaching above 40℃. Therefore, people should pay attention to heatstroke prevention and keep healthy at this time. In dog days, people will take some measures to deal with the hot weather, such as wearing loose and breathable clothes, drinking more water, avoiding sunlight and reducing outdoor activities.

Sanfu is also an important solar term in China traditional culture. In ancient China, people would hold some festivals and sacrificial activities at this time, such as "Dog Days Sacrifice". In addition, there are some folk traditions during the dog days, such as "eating bean jelly" and "drinking mung bean soup", which are the methods and customs to deal with high temperature weather.
