Introduction: After the Xiaoshu solar term, it will enter the Dog Days. There are three stages in the Dog Days. The first stage is the head fall. What is the end of the head fall? What is the end of the head fall? What is the middle fall after the head fall? The last stage is the middle fall. It is the last day of summer, and the hottest period is the middle day of summer. The following is my detailed introduction to the dog days of summer. Come and take a look.
The end of the head bend is the middle bend.
Toufu is also the first day of summer. According to the Chinese calendar, this is the beginning of the real summer day. Chufu is the beginning of the real summer weather. People often say: hot in the third volt and cold in the 39th. Dog days are the season with the highest temperature and highest humidity in a year. They are divided into the first, middle and last days. The first and last days are fixed at 10 days. The middle days have 10 days in some years and 20 days in some years. The beginning of the volt period is called entering the volt or crossing the volt, and the end of the volt period is called the exit period. The number of days of mid-fall depends on how early or late the fall occurs. Generally, if the fall occurs before July 28, the duration of mid-fall is 20 days, and if the fall occurs on July 29, the duration of mid-fall is 10 days.
What does Zhongfu mean?
Zhongfu, one of the three volts, usually refers to the period from the fourth Geng day after the summer solstice to the day before the first Geng day after the Beginning of Autumn. . Also called Erfu.
What are the "Dog Days"
"Dog Days" is the collective name for the first, middle and last days, and is the hottest time of the year. It occurs every year from mid-July to mid-August in the Gregorian calendar. Its climate characteristics are high temperature, low air pressure, high humidity and low wind speed. "Fu" means that Yin Qi is forced by Yang Qi to hide underground. According to the climate rules of our country's lunar calendar (lunar calendar), predecessors have long stipulated: "The third Geng day after the summer solstice is the first day of the lunar calendar, the fourth Geng day is the middle volts (the second volts), and the first day after the Beginning of Autumn is the first day of the lunar calendar. Geng day is the last day (three days), the first day and the last day are ten days each, the middle day is ten or twenty days, and the "three days" are thirty or forty days.
How to survive the Taufu days
The characteristics of Taufu days are high temperatures, high humidity, and long daylight hours. In this environment, people will go to bed later and get up earlier, and have less rest time; they are prone to sweating. It will cause a large consumption of various nutrients in the human body, especially inorganic salts;
Love to drink cool drinks, loss of appetite; reduced activity, and inability to continue to exercise, and the overall physical condition of the person is in a relatively low state. Level, intake decreases and consumption increases, so many people lose weight in summer.
Is Zhongfu the hottest day? Yes
In the summer, Zhongfu is the hottest. High temperature, low air pressure, high humidity, and low wind speed are the typical characteristics of Zhongfu. The most prominent feature of Zhongfu is that it is hot and humid. The typical "sauna" weather makes people want to take a breath. I feel uncomfortable.
Summer is hotter during the summer, and mid-day temperatures are the hottest. After entering the summer, the surface humidity increases, and the ground absorbs more heat every day and emit less heat. The heat accumulates, so it gets hotter day by day. When the weather reaches mid-voltage, the heat accumulated on the ground reaches the highest value, and the weather is the hottest. In addition, there is more rain in summer, the air humidity is high, and the heat capacity of water is much greater than that of dry air. It is also an important reason for the sultry weather in summer. In July and August, the subtropical high pressure strengthens. Under the control of the subtropical high, the downdraft inside the high pressure makes the weather clear and less cloudy, which is conducive to sunlight. The ground radiation heats up, and the weather becomes warmer. Hot.
The custom of Zhongfu
Zhongfu is also called Erfu. Zhongfu is the hottest time in summer, and housewives love it at this time. The noodles are simple and smooth to make as a staple food, so they are called "Erfu Noodles".
In ancient times, noodles were called "Soup Cake" and "Butuo" in the book "Night Sailing Boat" written by Zhang Dai. There is a saying that "Wei made soup cakes, Jin made them without support". Noodles evolved from soup cakes to noodle soup.
In ancient times, when making noodle soup, one hand was used to hold the noodles. After making good noodles, use the other hand to tear the slices into the pot to form "pieces of soup". The slices are very thin, like butterfly wings, so they are also called "butterfly noodles". This method of making soup noodles is similar. It was not until the Jin Dynasty that people used chopping boards, rolling pins and knives to make Shanxi noodles, and they no longer used their hands to make noodles, so the noodles were also called "Bu Tuo" during the Northern Song Dynasty. "Suo Noodles", by the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were more varieties of noodles. Before and after liberation, there were many types of noodles: hand-stretched noodles, knife-cut noodles, machine-cut noodles and dried noodles, as well as white flour and cornmeal noodles.
Futian The folk custom of eating noodles has been around since the Three Kingdoms period. "Wei Shi Chun Qiu" says: "When you eat soup cakes during the solstice, you will take a towel to wipe your sweat and your face will look bright. "Then why on a hot day when the heat is unbearable, do you still eat hot noodle soup that makes people sweat? There is a book in the Southern Dynasties that states: "Soup cakes during the solar eclipse in June are called to ward off evil. "Because in ancient times, people believed that the fifth month of the lunar calendar was an evil month, and June should be an evil month, and the "heating with heat" method has always been a good summer health regimen advocated by traditional Chinese medicine health experts. In addition, the second volt is just after the summer harvest. During the wheat harvest, people have a habit of "trying new things". They eat two bowls of noodle soup made with new wheat and break out in a sweat. This is not only a taste of new things but also a way to ward off the evil spirits of the plague. This is probably the reason why people eat noodles during the second lunar month. .
