Brief introduction.

The dog days of 2022 are counted from the third Geng day of the summer solstice, and since the heavenly stem is 10, every 10 days is a Geng day. This year's summer solstice is June 21, and the third Geng day is exactly July 16, so the dog days of 2022 start from July 16.

July 26, 2022 - August 14, 2022, a total of 20 days. Last day: August 15, 2022 - August 24, 2022, a total of 10 days.

"Dog days" is from the summer solstice (June 21 or 22 in the Gregorian calendar), the first day after the beginning of autumn (August 7 or 8 in the Gregorian calendar) is the dog days (ten days), and the fourth day is the middle days (ten days in some years, twenty days in some years). In this way, the dog days have a fixed date. According to this regulation, it can be deduced that the dog days are from mid-July to mid-August in the solar calendar.

"Sanjiu" refers to the third "nine days" after the winter solstice, that is, the nineteenth to twenty-seventh days after the winter solstice. The Chinese lunar calendar has a saying "September 9th", which is used to calculate the seasons. The calculation method is from the winter solstice in winter (calculated from the winter solstice, called "Jiaojiu", which means the beginning of the cold), every nine days is a "nine", the first nine days are called "nine", the last nine days are called "twenty-nine", and so on, until the ninth nine days, that is, the ninth nine days, counting nine hundred and eighty-one days.

At this time, winter has passed and spring has come.

Usually September 9 is the coldest.

Three days in summer and three days in winter" means that no matter how cold or hot the weather is, we must insist on exercising, so as to better gain the ability to "keep up with the four seasons and adapt to hot and cold". In fact, in the hot summer, people who don't like physical exercise, the more afraid of heat, the more hot they feel, the less active they are, and the worse their ability to adapt to the external environment will be. Exercising in a hot environment can dilate subcutaneous capillaries, accelerate the opening of body glands, improve heat dissipation capacity, and make the body have a stronger ability to regulate body temperature, so many experts advocate "practicing for three days in summer".
