During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Qin people realized that the high temperature and scorching heat were easy to lead to disease epidemics, so they named this hot time "Fu" to remind people to rest at home in Futian and stay away from the plague. Later, the "volt day" was specifically determined to be "three dog days". "Beginner's Record" quotes Tang Lucai's "Book of Yin and Yang": "From the summer solstice, the third Geng is the first volt, the fourth Geng is the middle volt, and the first Geng after the beginning of autumn is the latter volt, which is called the three volts." Since then, the time of the "dog days" of each year has been determined according to the traditional Chinese lunar solar terms and the Ganzhi Chronicle. The concept of "dog days" has been passed down for more than 2,000 years, and has been passing on many health wisdom and life inspirations to help us spend the summer comfortably.
