Which of the following is the custom of "shocking" in solar terms?
1, eat taro. In the south, west and south of Fujian Province, it is a custom to eat taro during panic. During the period of fright, the temperature rises, so people should eat some foods that strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis. Taro is beneficial to the spleen and stomach, regulating qi, rich in nutrients, rich in trace elements, sweet and soft, and delicious. Eating taro in the season of fright not only has an appetizing effect, but also can regulate the body.
2, insect repellent. In many parts of our country, there is the custom of scaring people and expelling insects by solar terms. Due to the warm climate and abundant rain during the sting season, some hibernating animals will wake up, and Anopheles, lice, bloodshot worms, fleas and various parasites will enter the breeding period. During the scare, some people will sprinkle lime around the house, because lime can kill insects and prevent snakes, insects, mice and ants from invading the house.
3. eat pears. Eating pears in shock is a custom in northern China. Originated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it has a history of 1500 years. The homonym of pear is "Li", and eating pear in shock means staying away from disease. Pear has the effects of moistening lung, removing dryness, quenching thirst and promoting fluid production, which is really suitable for this season.
4. eat fried beans. Eating fried beans is a custom in northwest China. Like insects, soybeans are soaked in salt water and fried in hot pot, which will make a crackling sound, indicating the elimination of pests and diseases. I hope the crops are free from pests and have a good harvest in the new year.
