Is the Beginning of Heat considered one of the dog days?

The hottest period of summer, also known as the "Three Fus", is the expression for the hottest period of the year in the Chinese lunar calendar.
The total length of the dog days of summer is 30 days in some years and 40 days in others.
The number of days in each of the three dog days of summer: the first dog days is 10 days, the middle dog days is 10 days in some years, 20 days in other years, and the last dog days is 10 days.
Time of entering the dog days: The first dog days are the third Geng day of the summer solstice, which is approximately the Geng day of the lunar calendar between July 11-21 of the Gregorian calendar.
The date when the middle of the dog days begins is the Geng day of the lunar calendar between July 22-31 of the Gregorian calendar.
The date of entering the last dog days: determined on the first Geng day of the lunar calendar or the beginning of autumn in early August of the Gregorian calendar.
♦The length of the middle dog days depends on the number of Geng days between the middle dog days and the last dog days, or in other words, it depends on the number of Geng days between the great heat and the beginning of autumn.
♦There is only one Geng day between Great Heat and Beginning of Autumn, the middle dog days last for 10 days, and the total number of days in the three dog days is 30 days.
♦There are two Geng days between the Great Heat and the Beginning of Autumn, the middle dog days are 20 days, and the total number of days in the three dog days is 40 days.
A simple statement of the rule: the beginning of the dog days is July 19th. Before that date, it is the first dog days, and the middle dog days last 20 days; after that date, it is the first dog days, and the middle dog days last 10 days.
From the above, we can know that the last of the three hot days is usually after the beginning of autumn, but before the beginning of heat, so the beginning of heat is not considered the three hot days!

The time of the dog days in 2019:
First dog days: July 12, 2019 (the tenth day of the sixth lunar month) - July 21, 2019 (the nineteenth day of the sixth lunar month)
Mid-summer: July 22, 2019 (the 20th day of the sixth lunar month) - August 10, 2019 (the 10th day of the seventh lunar month)
Last dog days: August 11, 2019 (the 11th day of the seventh lunar month) - August 22, 2019 (the 22nd day of the seventh lunar month)
The three hottest days in 2019 are divided into the first, middle and last hottest days, totaling 40 days, and the End of Heat falls on August 23. It can be seen that the End of Heat is not considered as one of the three hottest days!
