What is the difference between Lesser Heat and Summer Heat?

Answer: Lesser Heat is one of the 24 solar terms, and Summer Heat refers to the period of the "three hot days".
The summer heat refers to the period from the third Geng day after the summer solstice to 10 days after the first Geng day after the beginning of autumn. The summer heat is divided into the first, middle and last periods. Minor Heat is one of the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar. It comes before Summer Solstice, 15 days after the Summer Solstice. However, it is not certain when Summer Solstice will come. It may be 20 days after the Summer Solstice or 30 days after the Summer Solstice. There is no exact day and it usually comes in July or August of the Gregorian calendar.
Lesser Heat is the eleventh solar term of the twenty-four solar terms, and it is also the end of the Wu month and the beginning of the Wei month in the Ganzhi calendar. July 7 or 8 of the Gregorian calendar every year is when the sun reaches 105° of the ecliptic longitude. "Shu" means hot, and "Xiaoshu" means a little hot, not very hot. It means that the weather is starting to get hot, but it has not yet reached its hottest point, and this basically applies to most parts of the country.

Is it right that the third day of Lesser Heat is the Fu?

Answer: The correct answer should be "The dog days begin at the summer solstice". The method of calculating the dog days starts from the summer solstice.
According to the "Ganzhi calendar", the dates of the three hottest days are from the summer solstice to the third Geng day, which is the first hottest day, the fourth Geng day to the fifth Geng day are the middle hottest day, and the first Geng day to the second Geng day after the beginning of autumn are the last hottest day. Each Geng day is 10 days apart, and the number of days in the middle dog days is not fixed. When there are 4 Geng days between the summer solstice and the beginning of autumn, the middle dog days are 10 days. When there are 5 Geng days, the middle dog days are 20 days.
The "ganzhi" calendar is rarely marked in today's calendars, so it is generally difficult to tell which day is "geng day", which requires people to check the old imperial calendar. Therefore, the traditional method of calculating the dog days is to start from the summer solstice, according to the arrangement of the days based on the stems and branches, and the third Geng day is the first dog days. The fourth Geng day is the middle of the dog days, and the first Geng day after the beginning of autumn is the first day of the last dog days. As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing that can be controlled is his or her "luck."
