Abstract: Let $s(a,b)$ denote the classical Dedekind sum and $S(a,b)=12s(a,b)$. Recently, Du and Zhang proved the following reciprocity formula. If $a$ and $b$ are odd natural numbers, $(a,b)=1$, then ${\displaystyle }$ S(2a^*,b)+S(2b^*,a)=frac{a^2+b^2+4}{2ab}-3, ${\displaystyle }$ where $a{a}^{\ast }equiv1modb$ and $b{b}^{\ast }equiv1moda$. In this paper we show that this formula is a special case of a series of similar reciprocity formulas. Whereas Du and Zhang worked with the connection of Dedekind sums and values of $L$-series, our main tool is the three-term relation for Dedekind sums.
