Each Geng day is separated by 10 days, and the number of moderate days is not fixed. When there are 4 Geng days from the summer solstice to the beginning of autumn, the medium is 10 days, and when there are 5 Geng days, the medium is 20 days. The traditional method of calculating the dog days is from the summer solstice, according to the arrangement of dry and branch days, and the third Geng day is the first one. The fourth Geng day is the middle fall, and the first Geng day after the beginning of autumn is the last fall.
