The date of the dog days is determined by the coordination of 24 solar terms and the date of the main branch. Because every Geng day is 10 days apart, the stipulated time of the first day and the last day is 10 days. Because the third Geng day (the first autumn) after the summer solstice solar term appears sooner or later, the number of days in autumn is long or short, which may be 10 or 20 days. So there are two situations: some years are 30 days in dog days, and some years are 40 days.
The dog days in 2023 will be the first day: July 1 1 to July 20th, 2023, *** 10 days; Zhongfu: July 2, 20231to August 9, 2023, ***20 days; Terminal: August 10 to August 19, *** 10, 2023.
The custom of dog days
1, Fu Tou radish Er Fu vegetables
Under normal circumstances, northerners basically reserve radish and cabbage in winter, and there is nothing to eat in winter, and almost all of them meet these two vegetables in one winter.
Therefore, the task of planting radish and cabbage is very important, and the planting time should be controlled well. The first radish is planted this season, and the second cabbage is the second cabbage.
2. Eat noodles in rainy days
The custom of eating noodles in rainy days began at least in the Three Kingdoms period. In dog days, you can eat noodle soup or drink water. The so-called water surface is to fish out the cooked noodles and put them in a bowl, which can increase appetite.
