Traditional activities and the key points of keeping in good health in rain and solar terms

Rainwater is located on the 15th day of the first month of each year (February 18-20), and the solar term starts on rainy days and ends before the day of fright (March 4-5). The following are the traditional activities and health points I have compiled for you, hoping to help you.

Traditional rain and solar terms activities

First, go back to your mother's house.

The married daughter took her husband to send festivals to her parents-in-law. Holiday gifts are usually two rattan chairs with red ribbons one foot and two feet long. This is called "longevity", which means wishing parents a long life. The other is "canned meat": stew pig's trotters, soybeans and kelp in a casserole, seal the jar with red paper and red rope and give it to parents. This is to express gratitude and respect to the parents who have worked so hard to raise their daughters. If they are newlyweds, their parents-in-law will also give back an umbrella to let their son-in-law go out for a run, which will not only protect him from the wind and rain, but also mean wishing his son-in-law a smooth and safe life journey.

Second, pull the bag (looking for michel platini).

In the past, people had a habit of divining their children from God to see what their children's fate was and whether they needed to find a michel platini. The purpose of looking for michel platini is to make a son or daughter grow up smoothly and healthily. Rain festival pulls michel platini, which means "rain and dew moisten and grow easily". Especially in western Sichuan, there is a special place to pull michel platini on this day. On this day, whether it is sunny or rainy, we will drag michel platini's parents with paper money with tables, incense and waxing, and take the children through the crowd to find michel platini. Want to let children grow up with knowledge, and pull a scholar to be michel platini; If the child is weak, pull a tall and strong person like michel platini. Once someone is dragged to be a "michel platini", some can make money and run, while others can't escape. Most of them will readily agree, indicating that others trust themselves, so their fate will be better.

Third, the occupation of beige

The color of rice is to predict the rice harvest in that year by frying glutinous rice flowers. The quality of "color" depends on the number of glutinous rice flowers that bloom. The more glutinous rice that bursts with glistening, the better the harvest; Moreover, the less rice blooms, it means that the harvest is not good and the rice price will be expensive.

Fourth, send rain.

At the Dongshan Hakka Rain Festival in Chengdu, Sichuan, a daughter sent festivals to her parents, and her son-in-law sent festivals to her parents-in-law. The gift given by the son-in-law on holidays is usually a one-foot-two-foot-long red cotton belt, which is called "Shoushou" to pray for the parents-in-law to get along for a hundred years. The daughter stewed pig's trotters and chicken soup, sealed the jar with red paper and red rope, and the son-in-law sent it to her parents-in-law. This is the son-in-law's gratitude to her parents-in-law who have worked so hard to raise her daughter. If it is wedding date, the newly-married son-in-law, her parents-in-law will also give her an umbrella in return, so that her son-in-law can go out to shelter from the wind and rain, and wish her a smooth and safe life journey.

Fifth, take over life.

In some areas of our country, sons-in-law and daughters send festivals to their parents-in-law on rainy days. Gifts are usually a red ribbon 10 feet long, which is called "Shoushou", meaning wishing parents-in-law a long life.

Key points of rainwater health care

First, pay attention to prevent diseases caused by late spring cold.

Meteorologists explained that the warm winter climate makes the earth's water evaporate rapidly and the climate becomes extremely dry. The human body is prone to dry mouth, sore throat, nosebleeds, dry eyes, itchy skin and other symptoms. In addition, the dry climate will greatly weaken the defense function of the upper respiratory tract, thus inducing various respiratory diseases, such as influenza, pneumonia, asthma and so on. The cold and hot climate is also easy to make children suffer from "late spring cold" and infect whooping cough, measles, scarlet fever and other diseases.

Health experts reminded that we should pay attention to the phenomenon of "late spring cold" during the rainfall. After the rain, the moisture in the air increases, resulting in low temperature and high humidity in the cold. This wet and cold climate has certain influence on human internal organs and joints. Therefore, the public should pay attention to health care at this time to avoid getting sick.

It should be reminded that citizens should not take off their coats too early, but cover them for a period of time, and slowly adjust the balance of yin and yang to adapt to the new climate conditions. Due to the surge of air in spring, hot people tend to sweat. At this time, taking off clothes is easy to catch cold, and it will not reduce the sultry and uncomfortable clothes. Health experts suggest that citizens in hot weather can take an extra thin coat when they go out to avoid catching a cold. "Because the body heat leaks out in spring, wet and cold are exchanged inside, which is easy to hurt the bones. In particular, some young people are in good health, but they don't know that these diseases will always lurk in the body and accumulate into old age. "

Second, for the elderly and infirm, cold water should not be used in spring.

According to China's theory of five elements, water corresponds to kidney, and kidney governs bone. Although there is a saying on the road to health that washing your face with cold water all the year round can play a health care role. However, in the rainy season, if the elderly and infirm wash their faces and hands with cold water, wet and cold can easily invade the joints. In addition, if there is not enough yang to drive away the cold, the dampness and coldness will stay in the hands, which will easily lead to soreness, deformation, pain and other symptoms.

In addition, the spring is still wet and cold, and it should be dried with a hair dryer in time after washing your hair. Otherwise, the water stays moist in the hairline, and then cools down, so it is easy for the wet cold to gather in the head and penetrate into the skull from the outside to the inside, leading to headache. Especially after washing hair, it will rush out, and the hair will be blown by the cold wind before it is dry, which is prone to the symptoms of "partial wind".

Third, pay attention to spleen and stomach qi stagnation in warm and humid weather

In rainy season, health care should emphasize "nourishing the spleen and stomach". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the "acquired foundation" and the "source of qi and blood biochemistry", and the strength of the spleen and stomach is an important factor in determining people's longevity.

According to health experts, the five elements theory explains the physiological functions of the five internal organs of human body: the liver belongs to wood, the wood is soft and straight, the lines are smooth, and it has the characteristics of hair growth, so "the liver likes lines but is depressed" and has the effect of stopping diarrhea. Spleen (stomach) belongs to soil and has the characteristics of biochemical things. Spleen also has the functions of digesting Shui Gu, transporting essence, nourishing the internal organs and limbs, and is the source of qi and blood biochemistry. In other words, because the liver is too sparse, the spleen and stomach are qi-deficient; Excessive stagnation of liver qi will lead to stagnation of spleen and stomach. Both are liver and spleen. Therefore, we should pay attention to the characteristics of hair growth in spring, support the yang, and avoid hurting the spleen and stomach.

Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach have the effects of benefiting qi, transforming and nourishing blood. The material basis of human functional activities, such as qi and blood, body fluid, etc. Are born in the spleen and stomach. Spleen and stomach are strong, the source of metaplasia is sufficient, and the function of viscera can be strong; Spleen and stomach are also the hinge of qi movement. The coordination of spleen and stomach can promote and regulate the metabolism of the body and ensure the coordination and balance of life activities. How to regulate the spleen and stomach? In addition to maintaining a certain amount of exercise, diet adjustment is very important.

First of all, usually drink water and try to drink warm water. Some people are prone to the so-called symptoms of getting angry in spring, so it is not appropriate to drink herbal tea easily, so as not to aggravate the deficiency fire. In addition, pay attention to the cleaning and preservation of food to avoid problems such as diarrhea. At this time, you can't blindly make up for it, so as to avoid yang leaking out, excessive growth of liver wood and injury to spleen soil. At the same time, it can avoid a series of spleen and stomach problems caused by fat and sweet taste, liver depression and spleen deficiency, and spleen loss of health.

Fourth, the diet should be plain.

In rainy season, the climate gets warmer, but it is windy and dry, which often leads to dry mouth and chapped lips. Therefore, we should eat more fresh vegetables and juicy fruits to replenish human moisture. Since spring is the beginning of all things, we should eat less greasy things so as not to help yang escape. Therefore, the spring diet should eat less sour and eat more sweet to nourish the spleen. You can choose leek, Toona sinensis, lily, pea seedling, chrysanthemum, shepherd's purse, bamboo shoots, yam, lotus root, taro, radish, water chestnut, sugar cane and so on.

Food should be flat. "Cold in spring" tends to make people stagnate, so it is not appropriate to eat hot and dry food to "add fuel to the fire". Depressed heat makes people "greedy for cold", and eating too many cold things will also "seek common ground", hurting viscera and causing stomach cold, stomach cold, diarrhea and other disorders. Therefore, the diet should be moderate, eat hot meals, hot dishes, and eat warm foods such as peppers and liquor carefully.

Since spring is the beginning of everything's hair growth and the season of rising yang, you can eat more food, such as red dates, yams, lotus seeds, leeks, spinach, oranges, honey, sugar cane and so on. But don't help yang to drain out, otherwise the liver wood will hurt the spleen and soil too much.

In addition, porridge is better in this solar term, such as lotus seed porridge, yam porridge, jujube porridge and so on. Of course, Cantonese dietotherapy is mainly soup, which is also a good choice, such as Hericium erinaceus fresh chicken soup, Yunling yam lean broth, spinach beef slice soup, Hu Aishan Beiqi pork horizontal soup, etc., while Jianwei Jianpi soup includes stewed duck with Cordyceps sinensis and stewed chicken with plum blossom.

According to reports, the characteristics of spleen and stomach function should be considered in the recuperation of Chinese herbal medicines. Such as American ginseng, Adenophora adenophora, cassia seed, white chrysanthemum, etc. can be used to tonify the spleen and stomach. In rainy season, the liver yang, liver fire and liver wind of human body will rise with the yang in spring, so we should pay more attention to the release of liver qi.

Weather changes of rain solar terms

Rainwater solar term refers to the entry into spring with meteorological significance. After the "rain", the temperature in most parts of China rose to above 0℃, the daily average temperature in Huanghuai Plain reached about 3℃, the average temperature in Jiangnan was about 5℃, the temperature in South China was above 10℃, and the average temperature in North China was still below 0℃. Before and after rainfall, rape and winter wheat generally turn green and grow, which requires high water content. "

Spring rain is as expensive as oil, so suitable precipitation is particularly important for crop growth. At this time, the precipitation in North China, Northwest China and Huanghuai areas is generally less, which often cannot meet the needs of agricultural production. If there is little rain in early spring, the best economic benefit can be obtained by timely spring irrigation before and after the rain.

In the area south of Huaihe River, it is mainly to strengthen intertillage and hoeing, and at the same time, do a good job in clearing ditches and draining water in the field to prevent excessive spring rain from causing wet damage and rotten roots. As the saying goes, "Water the flowers with wheat, water the flowers with vegetables", and the coated rape should be topdressing with moss fertilizer in time to compete for more pods. South China's double-cropping early rice seedling cultivation has begun, so we should pay attention to "cold tail and warm head", and strive to sow all the seedlings at once.
