Do not sit on wood during the Lesser Heat solar term
There is a saying that you cannot do things with wood during the Lesser Heat solar term. According to a folk proverb, "Don't sit on stone in winter and don't sit on wood in summer." In fact, the main reason is that after the Lesser Heat solar term, the temperature is relatively high and the humidity is also relatively high. And because the wood in the open air has been exposed to wind, rain and wind all year round, although a lot of the wood is dry on the surface, once it is exposed to the sun and the temperature rises, it will emit moisture outwards. Sitting on it for a long time can induce diseases such as hemorrhoids, rheumatism and arthritis.

Because the weather during the Lesser Heat solar term is quite hot, many friends hope to take a cold shower to cool down, but from a health point of view, this is definitely not allowed.

You must not drink tea on an empty stomach during the Lesser Heat solar term, because drinking tea on an empty stomach can easily cause the tea to consume the body's yang energy, which is very bad for the human body. Therefore, you must not drink tea on an empty stomach.
