Do you know all the customs and habits of Xiaohan?
As the saying goes, the weather is so cold during the Lesser Cold and the Greater Cold that people become frozen. In our daily life, in addition to keeping warm on a daily basis, as the Lesser Cold approaches, the festive atmosphere becomes stronger and people begin to prepare for the Spring Festival. So do you know what customs and practices there are during the Lesser Cold?What are the customs and traditions of Xiaohan?Custom 1: Drinking Laba Congee (Different in different places)In terms of diet, an important folk custom during the "Minor Cold" solar term is eating "Laba Porridge". Beijing's Laba porridge can be said to be the most exquisite, with many things mixed in with the white rice, such as red dates, lotus seeds, walnuts, chestnuts, almonds and no less than 20 kinds. In the northern Shaanxi Plateau, in addition to using a variety of rice and beans, porridge also has to be mixed with various dried fruits, tofu and meat. After eating, the porridge should be smeared on the door, stove and trees outside the door to ward off evil spirits and disasters and welcome a good harvest in the coming year. In areas of Shaanxi where rice is not produced or produced in small quantities, people do not eat Laba porridge but Laba noodles instead. The traditional way of cooking Laba porridge in Gansu is to use grains and vegetables. After it is cooked, it is not only eaten by the family, but also distributed to neighbors and used to feed livestock. In Wuwei area, people pay attention to celebrating "vegetarian Laba Festival". They eat thick rice porridge, lentil rice or thick rice. After cooking, they eat it with fried Sanzi and twisted dough sticks. The folk custom calls it "Lentil porridge soaked in Sanzi". Custom 2: Squeeze out the oil residue when making paste The Lesser Cold season is also the busiest time for traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and Chinese medicine pharmacies. Generally, all the paste prescriptions prepared at the beginning of winter are almost used up. At this time, some families will cook a little more and eat it around the Spring Festival. When the Minor Cold comes, old Nanjing people usually cook rice. The contents of vegetable rice are different. Some are made with dwarf yellow vegetables, bacon slices, sausage slices or diced pressed duck, and some chopped ginger cooked with glutinous rice. It is very fragrant and delicious. Among them, short-legged yellow rice, sausages and pressed duck are all famous specialties of Nanjing. They can be said to be the real "Nanjing vegetable rice" and can even be compared with Laba porridge. Customs and practices 3: Health preservation begins In terms of daily life, at this time of year, we should adapt to the characteristics of winter hibernation and go to bed early and get up late. Going to bed early is to nourish the body's yang energy, and getting up late is to nourish the yin energy. A folk proverb says: "If you exercise in the winter, you will have fewer illnesses; if you are lazy in the winter, you will have to drink more medicine." This shows the importance of exercise in winter. During these dry and cold days, it is advisable to do more outdoor sports, such as jogging in the morning, skipping rope, kicking shuttlecock, etc. However, winter exercise should be based on the weather conditions of the day when choosing the method and location of exercise, and avoid exercising in strong winds, heavy snow, heavy fog, or severe cold. Conclusion: The Lesser Cold is approaching. Although the temperature is cold, people’s hearts are not cold. The festive atmosphere is getting stronger and people are homesick. Friends who are away from home, don’t forget to report safety to your family and remind them to keep warm and nourish their bodies in time during the Lesser Cold. |
