Does the dog days of summer start from the summer solstice or the Lesser Heat?

The time of the beginning of the dog days is not fixed every year, and the length of the middle dog days is also different. It is necessary to check the calendar to calculate. The date of the beginning of the dog days can be simply expressed by the four-character formula "Summer Solstice San Geng" , that is, starting from the third "Geng" day after the summer solstice. The first dog days is 10 days, the middle dog days is 10 days or 20 days, and the last dog days is 10 days.
The "ganzhi calendar" was popular in ancient my country. The days were recorded in a cycle using 60 different names formed by matching 10 heavenly stems with 12 earthly branches. Any day containing the character Geng is called Geng Day.
The "Geng" in Geng day is the 7th of the 10 heavenly stems "Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui", and Geng day repeats every 10 days.
Starting from the summer solstice, according to the arrangement of the Ganzhi calendar, the third Geng day is the first dog days, the fourth Geng day is the second dog days, and the first Geng day after the beginning of autumn is the last dog days.
When there are 4 Geng days between the summer solstice and the beginning of autumn, the middle dog days lasts 10 days, and when there are 5 Geng days, it lasts 20 days. It seems that the early or late appearance of Gengri will affect the length of the dog days, so in some years the dog days last for 30 days, while in other years they last for 40 days.
Summary: From the above meaning of the beginning of the dog days, we can know that the dog days should be counted from the summer solstice, not the Lesser Heat!

Notes on praying

1. Clothing must be modest, never too revealing or strange, and it is not appropriate to wear slippers or a hat into a temple. These are basic respects for the gods.
2. Avoid loud noises. Although each temple worships different gods, they all hope to purify people's hearts, so your words and actions must be gentle.
3. Prepare 3-5 offerings such as seasonal fruits and biscuits, but they must be odd numbers (because odd numbers are yang numbers). You can also prepare incense, gold paper, etc., depending on the regulations of each temple.
Fruits suitable for worship include apples, peaches, plums, dates, grapefruits, pomelo, oranges, etc.
Fruits that cannot be worshipped include tomatoes, guavas, sugar apples, and durian.

Although the eight characters of life are already determined, understanding and controlling your future fortune in advance can help you avoid misfortune and gain a better future.
