Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival are also called the four traditional festivals in China. Qingming was only the name of a solar term at first, and then it merged with Cold Food Festival to become the day of ancestor worship and grave sweeping. "On the fifteenth day after the vernal equinox, the bucket refers to Ding, for the sake of Qingming, when everything is clean and clear, when it is covered, everything is clear and clear, hence the name." Because the custom of cold food in Tomb-Sweeping Day pays attention to forbidding fire and cold food. Tomb-Sweeping Day, also known as an outing festival, went out for an outing to offer sacrifices, which not only showed respect for the deceased, but also showed joy for life. "Huainanzi Astronomical Training" in the Western Han Dynasty: "Qingming comes". Qingming wind, that is, refreshing and clear wind, when the weather is sunny and warm, the vegetation in northern China begins to turn green. Clean and bright scenery replaces the cold winter scene where plants are withered and everything is sparse, and the sun is set. For one year's physical and mental health preservation, Qingming Festival is not only a sign of spring health preservation (at this time, the body should be pure and clear), but also the core period of raising yang in spring and summer. From Qingming and Grain Rain, taking 15 days as a sign can be said to be of great significance for raising yang. Let's talk about the reasons below.

Let's talk about the influence of the phenological environment of Qingming on people
Qingming is between the vernal equinox and Grain Rain, and it is clear and rainy. Qingming means clean and bright, the temperature warms up, and the vegetation begins to flourish; As the saying goes, "Snow breaks in Qingming Festival, and frost breaks in Grain Rain". Grain Rain means "Rain gives birth to a hundred valleys", and rainy days in Qingming and Grain Rain are beneficial to crop growth. Around the Qingming Festival, it is in a critical period when the temperature rises and everything grows luxuriantly. What does everything need to grow? Nature is the rain that moistens everything. From this perspective, it is also the scheduled arrangement of nature to have more rain during the Qingming Festival. In addition to the "rainy season", you will see the problem of "colds". This is because the weather is prone to cold and hot, sunny and rainy; Coupled with the large temperature difference between morning and evening, if the clothes are not increased or decreased in time at this time, the healthy qi in the body is insufficient, and the yang is weak and cannot be warmed by itself, it is easy to have a cold problem. Coupled with the increase of rain, humid air is conducive to the breeding of various bacteria and viruses, and the epidemic situation, including many exogenous diseases, will also increase. In addition, the rainy weather, combined with the atmosphere of "thinking of the old friend" and "thinking of sorrow" during the Qingming Festival, will occasionally make people's psychological state depressed and depressed, affect people's resistance, and also lead to the occurrence of colds and colds.
It is easy to hurt the spleen and stomach when it is clear, rainy and wet, and the spleen and stomach have the function of transporting water and dampness. Therefore, the spleen and stomach should be nursed back to health. Regulating the spleen and stomach requires not only food supplement, but also emotional adjustment and moderate exercise. Although the rainy season will affect the development of outdoor activities, it will also have an impact on health care. But it's best to keep exercising, but be sure to keep warm and clean when exercising and after sweating, so as to avoid sweating and catching a cold.
Generally speaking, there is wind and rain in the Qingming period, which will have an impact on people's health, but the nature of wind and rain at this time is still different from that of autumn and winter, which we will talk about later.

What's the significance of Tomb-Sweeping Day Qi for health preservation
In addition to the general health preservation goal in spring, the key health preservation goal in Tomb-Sweeping Day is to prevent feeling and dampness. Qingming health care mainly pays attention to preventing colds. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "when evil is combined, its qi will be deficient". Weak vital qi makes it easy to feel exogenous pathogens and catch a cold. Only when vital qi is abundant, the human body's qi and blood are smooth, and yin and yang are balanced, can it resist the invasion of cold and viruses. This vital qi of traditional Chinese medicine is the ability to resist diseases and recover, which is equivalent to what we call immunity. Therefore, it is necessary to keep healthy qi to prevent colds. There is a classic prescription in Chinese medicine called Yupingfeng Powder. Listening to this name is to build a barrier for the body by nourishing healthy qi to prevent exogenous diseases. Of course, there are many ways to maintain healthy qi. Besides traditional Chinese medicine methods such as diet and medicine, we should also avoid fatigue and have regular daily life. Physical fatigue is also one of the reasons for the high incidence of colds. Overworked outside, "labor consumes gas", healthy qi is weak, and the body is easily attacked by viruses, which leads to the occurrence of colds. From the perspective of modern health care, various methods to enhance immunity, including nutrition and exercise, can be put into the category of Qingming, maintaining healthy qi and preventing colds.
In addition to preventing colds, there is more and more rain from Qingming to Grain Rain. If the rain exceeds the normal level, it belongs to "dampness evil" in Chinese medicine, which is a cause. In order to prevent the invasion of dampness into the body and avoid the symptoms of shoulder and neck pain, joint pain, abdominal distension, and unwillingness to eat, the first thing to do in Qingming is to "avoid". With the increase of rainfall, it is best to take an umbrella when going out, so as to avoid wading in the rain. Wet clothes are wrapped around the body and cause diseases due to cold and dampness. If you accidentally feel the dampness, you should get rid of it in time. Feel the external dampness, and the evil is not deep, which can be solved from the exterior. For example, drink a cup of warm brown sugar ginger jujube tea, soak in a hot foot, and sweat slightly to get rid of external dampness. Also be careful not to live in wet places for a long time; Even if you don't open the window often in humid and rainy days, make sure to wear dry clothes; Chinese medicine believes that dampness often comes with "wind" and "cold". In addition to wind protection, we should be careful not to eat foods that are too cold. We should eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and stomach, remove dampness, and properly warm up to facilitate urine excretion and promote water-dampness metabolism. If the weather is good, we should go out to bask in the sun more, exercise properly, and dissolve moisture with yang.

Enlightenment of the ancient custom of keeping in good health on today's health care
First, there are many ways to prevent exogenous diseases and allergies. The ancients believed that the weather changed frequently during the Qingming Festival, and it was easy to induce exogenous diseases (including epidemics). The ancients had long used the method of medicated bath on the occasion of Qingming. "Zhou Li Chun Guan Witch" contains: "Witches get rid of the bath when they are old." Zheng Xuan's annotation is: "It was removed at the age of 2, but now it is like water on March. Bathing means bathing with fragrant herbs. " Today, there are still fitness methods of bathing with flowers and plants in some folk places. The Qingming Festival is the time when pollen spreads. When pollen floats in the air and is inhaled, symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, nasal cavity and itching all over the body often appear. Therefore, it is suggested that people with acute disease, weak body or allergic constitution should go hiking as little as possible and avoid direct contact with all kinds of plants that are easy to induce allergic symptoms.
The second is to conform to nature and stop covering up in spring. Due to the rain, there is a big temperature difference between Qingming morning and noon, so we should pay attention to keep warm. However, after the Qingming Festival, we should also pay attention to the "spring cover". If the temperature exceeds 15 degrees Celsius, we should reduce our clothes and stop covering them. In particular, when the internal heat of the Qingming human body meets the external humidity, it is easy to get sick. Therefore, wearing a hat can be reduced, and it is necessary not to make the body sweat when exercising. Especially for children with fast metabolism and strong yang, if excessive "spring covering" is carried out, it will lead to the intersection of internal heat and external evil, and induce diseases such as colds, excessive internal heat, and even respiratory infections and skin bleeding. People who usually have excessive liver yang will not only have asthma, but also people with high blood pressure will cause headaches, dizziness, blindness and even stroke. Therefore, it is not necessary to stick to the custom of covering up in spring in line with the trend of natural yang growth.
Third, it's late spring in the Qingming Festival, so it's better to keep the diet clean and light, and it's not advisable to eat spicy, hot, fried and fatty products. Eating more seasonal vegetables, as well as foods such as mushrooms and auricularia auricula, which are beneficial to enhancing immunity, also has the significance of preventing colds and eliminating dampness. You can drink mung bean soup, red bean soup, sour plum soup and green tea to prevent heat accumulation in your body. It is not advisable to eat mutton, dog meat, spicy hot pot, peppers, prickly ash, pepper and other spicy and hot products, eat less and more meals, do not overeat, and eat less spicy, salty, oily and sweet irritating foods to prevent pathogenic heat from turning into fire and inducing diseases such as sores, furuncles and swelling.
