It's the vernal equinox and solar terms. Don't forget to do these "three things". Tradition cannot be forgotten. Look early and know early.

On March 20th, the sun shone directly on the equator, and the "vernal equinox" among the 24 solar terms arrived as scheduled. On this day, day and night are divided equally, and then the white is getting longer and longer.

So what about the vernal equinox and solar terms? The old man said: "There are three things in the vernal equinox, and there is no disease for half a year." What do you mean by "three things"?

What does the vernal equinox mean by doing three things?

First, eat leeks.

In Qian Jin Fang, it is recorded that "eating leeks in February is beneficial to the heart". "Herbal Classic Shu" said: "Chinese chives are pungent and promote blood circulation when they are born, and they are sweet and nourishing when they are ripe. It is also their nature to benefit the liver, dissipate stagnation and guide blood stasis. Because it is slightly sour, it can enter the liver to control blood, pungent and warm can disperse the knot, and blood stasis can be used. When the five internal organs stagnate, the qi and blood will be smooth and secure. "

As the saying goes, "the first month, leeks in February" means this. There is also a saying among the people called "Spring leek with a string of gold".

Second, take a bath.

The "Thousand Women's Moon Order" says: "Take Lycium barbarum soup in February, take a bath in the evening, it is shiny, not sick, not aging." "Seven Mega Clouds" also said: "Bathing in February is appropriate, which makes people light and healthy". "Xuan" said: "It is getting worse and worse to wash your hair on the first day of February". Therefore, the ancients bathed not only for cleaning, but also to drive away "bad luck".

As the saying goes, "A man with feet is like a tree with roots. When a tree dies, the roots are exhausted first, and people are old and old. " Therefore, the vernal equinox and solar terms are also the best time to wash feet.

Third, the husband and wife divide the house.

The spring equinox solar term is when the rainfall increases, that is, when it thunders and electricity is turned on, so the ancients thought that husband and wife should live separately during this period. "Qi Yao Min Shu" said: "At the vernal equinox, Lei Nai made a sound, prepared for five days first, and went to bed inside and outside. Those who have not resigned are not prepared to have children. "

It means that husband and wife should live separately, otherwise it will easily lead to unhealthy children. Of course, this also reflects the ancient people's awe of nature. After all, the thunder is very loud.
