Has the summer solstice begun? Introduction to the beginning of the dog days in summer 2021
Speaking of the summer solstice and the beginning of the dog days, I believe everyone is familiar with it. So, let’s take a look at whether the summer solstice marks the beginning of the dog days. An introduction to the beginning of the first dog days of summer in 2021. Chinese people believe that the fifth month of the lunar calendar is a poisonous month, and the Dragon Boat Festival is the first of the nine poisonous days. For more information about the fifth month of the lunar calendar, please follow Mr. Shui Mo's website!Has the summer solstice begun?No, the dog days of summer have not yet begun during the summer solstice. The summer solstice falls on June 21 or 22 of the Gregorian calendar every year.The so-called "entering the dog days" means entering the dog days of summer. There is a folk saying that goes like this: "The first dog days begin on the third Geng day from the summer solstice." In fact, what this proverb means is that starting from the summer solstice, the dog days begin on the third Geng day. The "Geng Day" mentioned here actually refers to the day with the prefix "Geng" in the ancient "Ganzhi calendar". So, the dog days of summer have not yet begun during the summer solstice. However, the summer solstice is a key point in the beginning of the dog days, and the time of the beginning of the dog days needs to be determined based on the summer solstice. Introduction to the beginning of the dog days in summer 2021The beginning of the dog days in 2021 is from July 21, 2021 to July 30, 2021, a total of 10 days.The mid-summer season in 2021 will be from July 31, 2021 to August 9, 2021, a total of 10 days. The end of the dog days in 2021 is from August 10, 2021 to August 19, 2021, a total of 10 days. In 2021, the dog days of summer will last for 30 days, which means one month. Under normal circumstances, the dog days are divided into three time periods, the hottest of which is the middle period. As the saying goes, the hottest time of the year is during the middle of the dog days, which means that the weather during the middle of the dog days is the hottest in the year. The most prominent characteristic of the so-called middle period of the dog days is “heat”, and this heat is a type of “humid heat”. Especially at noon, preventing heat stroke is of paramount importance. Nutrition experts remind: When the maximum temperature exceeds 30°, people should reduce their exercise, avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, and keep drinking plenty of water. Therefore, the dog days of summer are the most uncomfortable weather for everyone. What does the dog days of summer mean?The "Three Fu" refers to the first, middle and last Fu, which is approximately from mid-July to mid-August. After the summer solstice, although the days become shorter and the nights become longer, the days are still longer than the nights. The ground still absorbs more heat than it emits every day, and the temperature near the ground becomes higher day by day. During the "dog days" period, the ground absorbs more heat than it emits, and the weather is the hottest. Later on, the heat absorbed by the ground began to be less than the heat emitted by the ground, and the temperature slowly dropped. Therefore, the hottest time of the year usually occurs during the "Three Fu" period during the summer solstice. |
