What is the origin of Lesser Heat?

Lesser Heat is one of the 24 solar terms and the fifth solar term in summer. The 24 solar terms are specific festivals in the calendar that represent the changes in natural rhythms and establish the "Twelve Months". There are four seasons in a year, spring, summer, autumn and winter each have three months, and there are two solar terms in each month. Each solar term has its unique meaning.
"Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" states: "The sixth month... "Heat" means heat, and the heat can be divided into small and large. The beginning of the month is small, and the middle of the month is large. Now the heat is still small." "Heat" means hot. The ancients believed that the period of Lesser Heat was not the hottest time of the year, so it was called Lesser Heat. There is also a folk song about the solar terms that says, "Less Heat isn't that hot, but Greater Heat is the hottest time of the year." It indicates that the hottest period of the year has arrived, but it has not yet reached an extremely hot level. As the saying goes, "The heat is in the dog days." China's dog days usually occur 28 days after the summer solstice, which is the so-called "the first dog days three days after the summer solstice".
