Is the summer solstice the beginning of the dog days?

Answer: The summer solstice is not the first day of the beginning of the dog days. The beginning of the dog days is the third Geng day after the summer solstice.
According to the calendar, "The dog days begin on the third Geng day after the summer solstice." This means that starting from the summer solstice, the dog days begin on the third Geng day. The "Geng day" here refers to the day with the prefix "Geng" in the ancient "Ganzhi calendar".
Since the 365 days in a year (366 days in a leap year) are not an integer multiple of 10, a day that is Geng Day this year may not be Geng Day next year. That is to say, the date of Gengri is variable and not fixed, so the date of the beginning of the dog days is not exactly the same every year, but the date of the beginning of the dog days is always between July 11 and July 21. The fourth to fifth Geng days are the middle of the dog days, and the first to second Geng days after the beginning of autumn are the last of the dog days. 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.

When does the dog days of summer begin after the summer solstice in 2019?

2019 Summer Solstice Date: June 21, 2019
The first Geng Day after the summer solstice in 2019 is June 22, 2019 (Geng Yin Day)
The second Geng day after the summer solstice in 2019: July 2, 2019 (Gengzi Day)
The third Geng day after the summer solstice in 2019: July 12, 2019 (Gengxu Day)
Therefore, the first day of the "fu" period this year is July 12, 2019 (Gengxu Day). Because the first dog days lasts for 10 days, this year's first dog days is from July 12th to July 21st. 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."
