Summer solar terms are particular, bearing in mind that "do two things, avoid two things, eat three things", the weather is good, and the dog days are safe.
Every solar term has its customs and taboos. In this article, the author will tell you about the summer solar terms.
According to popular saying, the solar terms in summer should "do two things, avoid two things and eat three things". What do you mean? After reading this article, you will have the answer.
Let's talk about doing two things first
1, "Food freshness"
"Fresh food" means eating new rice, eating new noodles and drinking new wine on a hot summer day to welcome a bumper harvest. Before and after the heat, the summer harvest just ended. In order to taste the joy of harvest, people will grind novice rice and wheat into rice flour, sacrifice to the god of the valley first, and then eat it by themselves.
Another implication is that "eating new" means "eating new", and the homonym of "new" and "new" means eating hard, which means that the next year will not be so hard. From another angle, I look forward to a good weather and a good harvest in the coming year.
Step 2 buy flowers
After the arrival of the hot summer, there is a custom of buying flowers in the south, especially girls. They put the bought flowers in mosquito nets and sleep with the fragrance of flowers, which has a unique flavor.
Gardenia, orchids and jasmine are called "three whites in summer" during the summer heat. In addition, these three kinds of flowers are in full bloom before and after the summer heat. Therefore, buying these three kinds of flowers mainly has good meanings and good uses.
This custom has not existed in the north for many years, but it is still circulating in some places in the south.
Let me say two things first.
Taboo 1: Sit on the outdoor wooden bench at will.
After the slight summer heat, the temperature is high and there is much rain. Some wooden benches outside will contain a lot of water after being drenched by rain, especially after the rain has cleared, and the surface looks dry. In fact, there is a lot of water in the middle.
At high temperature, water will evaporate. If people sit on it, it may lead to an increase in water in the human body and affect their health.
In addition, the wooden stool after rain is also easy to attract bugs. After people sit on it, some bugs are not easy to see. It is easy to be allergic after being bitten, and even more serious situations occur. Therefore, don't sit on the wooden bench outdoors in summer.
Taboo 2: Take a cold bath.
After the summer heat, the highest temperature in many places rose above 35 degrees. When some friends come home from the outdoors, they will think of taking a cold bath first, especially taking a bath with well water. The instant coolness will make people feel very cool.
Doing so, although very comfortable at that time, will leave trauma to the body, and the skin surface will instantly come into contact with several degrees of ice water from more than 30 degrees.
Doing so can easily lead to diseases, such as colds, and in severe cases, medical treatment is needed.
In addition, over time, when you get older, you will feel pain in your joints or other places. In fact, part of the reason is that I liked to take a bath when I was young.
Finally, I said to eat three kinds.
The first thing: Monopterus albus
Monopterus albus is warm and sweet. After the arrival of summer, eating some Monopterus albus has the functions of enriching blood and benefiting qi, eliminating dampness and dispelling cold. Not only adults can eat, but also children can eat.
You can steam eels without too much seasoning. Sprinkle some chopped green onion after steaming, and pour in some seasonings (or marinate in advance) to eat, which better ensures the nutrition of eel.
The second sample: lotus root
After the arrival of the summer heat, many areas also have the saying of eating lotus roots. It is reported that eating a little lotus root during the summer heat can promote fluid production and nourish yin, and clear away heat and nourish the spleen and stomach.
It is also suitable for adults and children.
There are relatively many ways to eat lotus root, which can be cold or simple. After blanching, sprinkle with side dishes and seasonings and serve.
You can also cook soup with other ingredients, such as Chinese yam and radish ribs soup.
The third sample: mung bean sprouts
Mung bean sprouts are more common and cheaper.
Mung bean sprouts contain high moisture and cellulose. After the arrival of the summer heat, the weather is hot. Eating mung bean sprouts can not only replenish water, but also prevent constipation to a certain extent, and has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying.
In fact, the above eels, lotus roots and mung bean sprouts are called "three treasures of summer heat". After the summer heat comes, it is beneficial to eat these three foods properly.
The above is about the summer solar term "Do 2 things, avoid 2 things and eat 3 things". Some of them are traditions left by our ancestors. I hope you can keep in mind that you should pay attention when you should pay attention.
