Dust removal is generally carried out on the 23rd and 24th of the twelfth lunar month, that is, on the day of "offering sacrifices to the stove". Avoid words when removing dust, and pay attention to "silence is better than sound".
2. Delicious food
Tail teeth originated from the custom of worshipping the earth god as "teeth". The so-called second day of February is the first tooth. From now on, every second and sixteenth day is the "tooth", which happens to be the tail tooth on the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month. For example, on February 2nd, Weiya has spring cakes (called Runbing in the south). On this day, buyers and sellers will hold a banquet, and boiled chicken is an essential dish at the banquet. It is said that whoever the head of a chicken faces means who the boss will fire next year. Therefore, some bosses now generally aim at their heads, so that employees can enjoy delicious food and have a stable year after returning home.
3. Babao rice
There is a folk saying that glutinous rice is eaten in the cold season, because glutinous rice can nourish the healthy qi of the human body, and after eating it, it will cause fever all over the body and play a role in keeping out the cold and nourishing the stomach. The food made of glutinous rice is the most typical one. Steamed glutinous rice, mixed with sugar, lard and osmanthus fragrans, poured into a container filled with fruit materials such as red dates, coix seed, lotus seeds and longan pulp, steamed and poured with sugar marinade. It tastes sweet and is a good holiday and hospitality.
What are the taboos of the Great Cold?
As the saying goes, "it doesn't snow when it's cold, but it cracks when it's hot." In the folk, it is a taboo not to snow in the cold weather. There is a saying that "it is good to have a good year in the cold day", which means that it is auspicious to snow in the cold weather, which makes sense from the perspective of natural science. Universities can kill locusts in winter, and there will be no insect disaster in the next year. Moreover, snow in winter can provide water for crops and save energy for spring, so it is perfect to snow in cold weather. However, due to regional differences, it won't snow in winter in many places in the south, so it depends on the actual situation.
Matters needing attention in severe cold solar terms
For southerners, the great cold solar term is the coldest time of the year, so there are many precautions.
1, go to bed early and get up late
"Great Cold" is the last solar term in winter. In daily life, it is still necessary to conform to the characteristics of seclusion in winter, so as to go to bed early and get up late. Going to bed early is to nourish the yang of the human body, and getting up late is to nourish the yin. On the other hand, there is an old saying that it is "freezing in cold weather, keeping out the cold and preventing the wind". In the cold season, in addition to keeping out the cold, you need to keep out the wind. Clothes should increase or decrease with the change of temperature, and keep warm.
Step 2 avoid cold radiation
In the severe cold solar terms, it is necessary to prevent the harm of cold radiation to the body. The specific measures are to stay away from cold walls and other objects, and sleep at least 50 cm away from the wall. If the temperature difference between the wall and the room is greater than 5℃, the wall is often wet, and even small water droplets may be formed. At this time, wooden boards or foamed plastics can be placed in front of the wall to block and reduce negative radiation, thus protecting the body from negative radiation damage.
Step 3 Wash your feet before going to bed
In the cold season, in addition to going to bed early and getting up late, it is best to develop the good habit of washing feet before going to bed. Soaking feet with hot water before going to bed can dilate blood vessels, speed up blood flow, improve skin tissue nutrition of feet, reduce muscle tension and improve sleep quality, which is beneficial to preventing frozen feet, disease prevention and health care, especially for people who love reading and writing at night and sit for a long time.
