This year's summer solstice arrives at 4:52 on June 21, and as the pace of summer gradually approaches, people begin to pay attention to the upcoming dog days. Dog days in 2024 may seem a little out of the ordinary, but what is so special about dog days this year? What kind of summer experience will it bring us? Is this summer hot?
1. This year is the extended version of "Dog Days"?
Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has divided the scorching summer into three stages: the beginning, the middle and the end, according to the ancient Ganzhi Chronology method, and each stage usually occupies a ten-day time. However, this year's dog days seem to break that norm and present us with a different picture.
In the face of such an "extended version" of dog days, people have to be fully prepared for heatstroke prevention and cooling. Whether you are working outside or resting indoors, you need to pay extra attention to heat prevention and cooling to avoid being attacked by high temperatures. In addition, it is also important to maintain a good diet and routine so that you can better cope with the challenges of high temperatures during this period.
This year's dog days, while somewhat special, are also a reminder to pay more attention to climate change and be prepared for all kinds of extreme weather. Only then will we be able to stay healthy, safe and comfortable during this hot summer day.
2. What is the dog schedule for this year?
So, why is this year's mid-volley so long? The reason behind this is actually inextricably linked to the ancient calendar, especially the time of the appearance of the Geng day after the summer solstice. In ancient times, people calculated time by observing the movement of the sun and the cycle of the sexagenary branches, among which the summer solstice is an important solar term that marks the official arrival of summer. Gengri, on the other hand, is the seventh in the heavenly stems, and its appearance time of year is not fixed, so it also affects the beginning and end of Futian.
Specifically, the beginning of the middle volley is from the fourth Geng day after the summer solstice and lasts until the first Geng day after the beginning of autumn. Since the dates of the summer solstice and the beginning of autumn change every year, and the occurrence of the Geng day is not fixed, the number of days in the middle of the day will be different. Sometimes, the mid-volt may be as little as ten days, while other times it can be extended to twenty days.
This year's situation happens to be a year when the Geng day occurs later after the summer solstice, which means that the start time of the middle volley is relatively late, and the end time is fixed due to the first Geng day after the beginning of autumn. As a result, this year's mid-volt days are longer than usual, bringing people a longer hot summer.
This subtle change in the calendar, although it has faded into oblivion in modern society, still plays a role in our lives. The extension of this year's mid-volt not only makes us feel the longevity of summer, but also allows us to have a deeper understanding of the wisdom and observation of the ancients.
Such an "extended version" of dog days has undoubtedly had a great impact on people's lives. Under the scorching heat, people need to pay more attention to heat prevention and cooling to maintain good health. At the same time, due to the influence of hot weather, some outdoor activities and labor also need to be adjusted appropriately to avoid the occurrence of heat stroke and other heat stroke.
3. "The mother is cool, the male is fierce", this year is the "mother Fu"?
This year's dog days, under the protection of the "mother volt", seem to have a little more coolness. Although the sun is still blazing, it no longer seems to be so unscrupulously scorching the earth. There seems to be a little humidity in the breeze, which makes people feel a little cool in the hot summer. This can't help but remind people of the poem: "The breeze blows lightly, and the coolness enters the heart." ”
Of course, even in the year of the "mother's house", hot weather is still an unavoidable theme. But compared to previous years, this year's high temperatures seem to be less intense and not so persistent. The sun is still shining, but it's no longer so dazzling; The heat wave is still rolling, but it's no longer so breathless.
In such weather, people's mood seems to become more comfortable and happy. In the streets and alleys, there are no longer only hurried footsteps and sweat beads on the face, but more leisurely figures and relaxed smiles. People enjoy the shade of the trees and enjoy the rare coolness; Take a walk in the park and feel the harmony and beauty of nature.
Therefore, it can be said that although this year's dog days are still hot, they are more pleasant and gentle. This is a unique experience brought to us by "Mother Fu", and it is also a precious gift given to us by nature.
At the same time, this year's dog days are also accompanied by changes in some natural phenomena. For example, some insects such as flies, mosquitoes, etc., may reduce their breeding numbers due to the effects of hot weather, thus alleviating people's distress about these pests. However, this does not mean that we can completely ignore the presence of these pests, and we still need to be vigilant and take the necessary precautions.
Dog days in 2024 may be a bit unusual, but we don't need to worry too much. As long as we do a good job of preventing heatstroke and cooling down, maintain good health and a happy mood, we will be able to get through this hot summer. At the same time, we should also cherish this special moment and enjoy the beauty and gifts that nature brings us.
Fourth, will this summer be hot?
However, despite the longer dog days and warmer temperatures this year, we don't need to worry too much. After all, with the rapid development of science and technology and the continuous progress of social civilization, we already have more powerful assistants and effective methods to deal with hot weather.
In this hot summer, home appliances such as air conditioners and fans have undoubtedly become our right-hand men in life. With their efficient working performance and user-friendly design, they help us easily cope with hot weather. The air conditioner uses refrigeration technology to adjust the indoor temperature to the comfortable range of the human body, so that we can enjoy a cool and comfortable environment even in the hot summer. The electric fan, with its gentle wind, brings us a burst of coolness, so that we can maintain a happy mood even in hot weather.
In addition to using home appliances to regulate indoor temperature, we can also maintain good health by eating properly and increasing water intake. In terms of diet, we can choose some light and easy-to-digest foods, such as fresh fruits, vegetables, etc., which are not only rich in vitamins and minerals, but also help us replenish the water and nutrients that our body needs. At the same time, we can also eat some foods that have the effect of clearing heat and relieving heat in moderation, such as mung beans, winter melon, etc., which can help us relieve the discomfort caused by hot weather.
In addition, maintaining adequate hydration is also key to dealing with hot weather. In hot weather, the human body sweats easily and loses a lot of water and electrolytes. Therefore, we need to replenish water in time to maintain the body's water balance. At the same time, we can also drink some drinks that have the effect of clearing heat and relieving heat in moderation, such as green tea, chrysanthemum tea, etc., which can not only provide us with water, but also help us relieve the heat heat.
While this year's dog days were longer and hotter, we are more than capable of meeting the challenge. As long as we make reasonable use of household appliances, arrange our diet and maintain adequate water intake, we can easily get through this hot summer.
Finally, let's focus on the arrival of this "extended version" of dog days, which is not only a climatic phenomenon, but also a challenge that tests our will and wisdom. During this season, the sun scorches the earth like a fire, as if it is about to evaporate all life. However, it is at such a moment that we need to use our courage and wisdom to meet the challenges and opportunities it brings.
The heat of summer makes people feel tired, but it also gives birth to the vitality of life. The rolling heat wave, like the passion of life, stirs our hearts and makes us more determined to move towards the future. At the same time, this "extended version" of dog days also brings us more opportunities for exploration and discovery. Perhaps, in the scorching summer, we can find a unique way to escape the heat and soothe the body and mind; Perhaps, we can discover more mysteries of nature and feel the magic of nature in this season.
In the face of this summer of challenges and opportunities, we need to remain calm and optimistic. We want to believe that with the joint efforts of all of us, we will be able to have a happy and fulfilling summer. We can share the small happiness in the summer together, and feel the warmth and beauty under the sun together. At the same time, we must also face challenges bravely and use our wisdom to deal with various problems that may arise.
Let's look forward to the arrival of this "extended version" dog days!
