What's the day of 2018

From July 17, 2018 to July 26, 2018, it is the first fall, 10 days.

Because the time of ambush is uncertain every year, many people don't know the time of ambush. From July 17, 2018, toufu will last for 10 days and prepare for heatstroke prevention! We can simply use the four word formula of 'summer solstice three Geng' to express the date of ambush, that is, from the third 'Geng' day after the summer solstice, the first ambush is 10 days, the middle ambush is 10 days or 20 days, and the last ambush is 10 days.

From the beginning of the summer solstice, according to the arrangement of the days of the GaN and Zhi dynasties, the third day of Geng is the first day of ambush, the fourth day of Geng is the middle day of ambush, and the first day of Geng after the beginning of autumn is the last day of ambush. When there are 4 g days between the summer solstice and the beginning of autumn, the median period is 10 days, and 5 g days is 20 days. From this, it can be concluded that the occurrence of the day of Geng will affect the length of the middle volt, so there are some years with 30 days of dog days and some years with 40 days of dog days.

Introduction to the folk customs of toufu

Solar term health preservation and diet health preservation are traditional, and there are different customs and opinions among the people. There is a slang in the north, which is called "tou Fu dumplings, two Fu noodles, three Fu pancakes and eggs". It is a traditional custom for people to eat dumplings when they are in a dog's day, because people have a bad appetite and can't eat anything. Dumplings are just appetizers in the traditional Chinese custom.

The custom of eating noodles in the second half of the year began at least in the Three Kingdoms period. According to the Weishi spring and Autumn Annals, when he Yan 'laid down the sun eating soup cake, took the towel and wiped his sweat, his face was bright', people knew that he Yan's skin white was not covered with powder, but natural white. The "soup cake" here is hot soup noodles. Why eat hot noodles on a hot day? According to Liang zongbi's notes on the age of Jingchu in the Southern Dynasty:

"In June, there was an eclipse soup cake, named PI evil. "May is a bad month, and June is also on the side of the bad month, so we should also" fight against evil ". This is superstition. New wheat is ground into flour to cook soup. After eating, you will sweat all over your body. The new grain is rich in nutrition. Sweating can drive disease. Eating soup cake in June is scientific.

In addition to hot noodle soup, you can also eat water in the dog days. Pass the cooked noodles out with cold water, mix with garlic puree, and pour with brine. It will not only stimulate appetite, but also 'lose heart fire'. Fuli can also eat 'fried noodles'. The so-called fried noodles, is to use a pot to fry the flour to dry, stir fry, and then mix it with water and sugar. This kind of eating method has existed in Han Dynasty. It was more common in Tang and Song Dynasties, but at that time, it was to fry the cooked wheat first, and then grind the pasta. Su Gong, a medical expert in the Tang Dynasty, said that fried noodles could "relieve the heat, stop the discharge and make the large intestine real".
