What's the festival in Fu Tou?
Fu Tou generally refers to the first autumn, which is a statement about the calendar method. It refers to the third Geng day from summer to the future, that is, the first day of dog days, usually referring to the day before the third Geng day from summer to the fourth Geng day.
According to China's calendar, this is the beginning of a real summer. The initial lodging is fixed at 10 day, and the initial lodging starts from summer to the third Geng day in the future (called lodging).
How to calculate the date when the head landed?
Due to the uncertainty of Geng day, the date of the first descent is different every year.
Voltage is divided into initial voltage, intermediate voltage and final voltage, which is called three volts. The dog days are the hottest period of the year, because the nights are getting shorter and shorter, the days are getting longer and longer, and the sunshine is close to direct sunlight. But the summer solstice is not the hottest time, because at this time, a large part of the heat absorbed by the ground radiates at night. But it absorbs more heat and dissipates less heat every day, and it gets hotter every day. It will be the hottest in about 20 days to three volts.
The date of the dog days is from summer to the third to the fourth Geng day, which is the first lodging, the fourth to the fifth Geng day is the middle lodging, and the second Geng day after the first Geng day to beginning of autumn is the last lodging. Every Geng day is 65,438+00 days apart, and the number of mid-festival days is not fixed. There are four Geng days from summer solstice to autumn, with 65,438+00 days in the middle, six Geng days and 20 days in the middle.
From summer to the third watch in the future, the first (10 day), the middle (10-20 day) and the last (after beginning of autumn 10 day) are the hottest days of the year.
How did you spend your first day?
It is characterized by high temperature, high humidity and long sunshine time. In this environment, people will go to bed late and get up early, and their rest time will be reduced; It is easy to sweat, which will cause a lot of consumption of various nutrients in human body, especially inorganic salts; Love to drink cool drinks, loss of appetite; Activities are reduced, and it is impossible to persist in exercise. The whole person's physical condition is at a relatively low level, and the intake decreases while the consumption increases, so many people lose weight in summer.
What does Fu Tou eat?

Fu Tou jiaozi two negative, Sanfu pancakes spread eggs.
In the past agricultural society, the wheat harvest was just less than a month. In Man Cang, every family has a valley, and people take this opportunity to have a toothache and eat white flour. In the north, they will definitely eat jiaozi in the dog days. It is a traditional custom to eat jiaozi on the head, because when it rains, people have a bad appetite and can't eat anything, while jiaozi is a food that stimulates and satisfies the appetite in the traditional customs of China people.
When cooking jiaozi, two common problems, adhesion and broken skin, are very troublesome. How to cook to keep the shape intact? In fact, in the process of boiling jiaozi, the water is boiled four times, and it is cooked. Boil water into jiaozi. When the water boils to 1 time, add a little cold water, and then add cold water after the water boils. The total backwater is 3 * * * points, and it will be cooked after jiaozi cooks it for 4 times, which will neither stick nor break the skin easily.
2.wonton
In some southern areas, such as Shanghai, people want to eat wonton. Actually, for southerners, wonton and jiaozi are almost a kind of food. Shanghainese have the saying "Fu Tou Wonton Er Fu Tea".
Compared with jiaozi, wonton is thin and transparent when cooked. In addition, wonton is cooked for a short time, and cold water needs to be added several times to ensure thorough cooking. Another point is that jiaozi is heavily dipped, and wonton is heavily soup, especially in Guangdong. Chicken soup and meat and bone soup are the first choice for soup base. We often eat wonton with noodles here, which is called wonton noodles.
3. Ham
People in Hangzhou call it "ham on the head and chicken on the feet". Chinese medicine believes that ham has the effects of invigorating spleen, stimulating appetite, promoting fluid production and benefiting blood. Ham can be eaten all year round, but it is best to eat it in summer. In summer, people often lose their appetite and lack nutrition. Ham is nutritious, not greasy, and can stimulate appetite. Ham and wax gourd are cooked together, which is nutritious and can prevent heatstroke and get rid of diseases.
Ham soup also has nourishing effect. Foods rich in vitamin C, such as tomatoes, can be added to eliminate the concern of cancer caused by pickled food. Ham also has the function of accelerating wound healing, and is now used as an auxiliary food after surgery.
4. noodle soup
On the first day of accommodation, there is a custom in the north, that is, "jiaozi's head is on the second floor, and the eggs are laid on the third floor". In the south, for example, Shanghai eats wonton and Guangzhou eats noodle soup. Noodles are rich in carbohydrates, which can provide enough energy and absorb a lot of water during cooking. 100 grams of noodles will become about 400 grams after cooking, so it can produce a strong feeling of fullness.
In addition, noodles can stimulate people's thinking activities. People's brain and nervous system need a food with 50% carbohydrate, and noodles are the food that people's brain needs. Hard wheat contains B vitamins, which can stimulate brain cells.
5. Chicken
Nanchang "eats chickens and ducks first", Hunan and Jiangxi are adjacent, and the first place is also eating chickens. Relatively speaking, it is scientific for people in Jiangxi and Hunan to eat chicken in dog days.
There is a folk saying that "eat a chicken in ups and downs and be healthy for a year." People consume more physical energy in dog days, so they should be properly supplemented with nutrition. You can add a proper amount of ginger when stewing chicken. Ginger is warm, which can adjust the temperature difference inside and outside the human body in summer, make the human body adapt to the external environment, and play the role of eliminating dampness and strengthening the body. This can disperse the accumulated cold in the body and prevent the onset of cold diseases in autumn.
6. Mutton
"Yang Yi Bowl of Soup, without a doctor." As we all know, mutton is a sweaty food and the best food in winter. However, Xuzhou people face difficulties and eat red pepper mutton in the hottest summer of the year. Buyang Festival is a traditional festival in Xuzhou. From the beginning of Lunar New Year's Eve every year, in the following month, Xuzhou people gather in hotels, restaurants, mutton restaurants and barbecue stalls to eat mutton and drink mutton soup, so they eat mutton.
Eating mutton in dog days is a great pioneering work, which can clear away heat, sweat and detoxify, and drive away the toxic moisture in winter and spring. Doctors suggest that eating Fuyang in summer will lead to a large loss of water and liquid, which will easily lead to electrolyte disorder in human body. The elderly, pregnant women, young children and other weak people are not suitable for sweating a lot. People eat Fuyang, drink plenty of water, avoid excessive sweating, eat more salty food and supplement electrolytes.
