Is three volts a solar term?

The 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. The dog days are divided into three sections, the first section, the second section and the last section, the dog days.

The dog days appear between midsummer and summer heat, and are 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 the weather is too hot and it is appropriate to 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, from mid-July to early August in the solar calendar.

Precautions 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 4℃. Therefore, people should pay attention to summer cooling and keep healthy at this time. During the dog days, people will take some measures to deal with the hot weather, such as wearing loose and breathable clothes, drinking more water, avoiding sun exposure, reducing outdoor activities and so on.

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 the "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 methods and customs to deal with high temperature weather.
