The God of Winter is named Yuqiang, with the courtesy name Xuanming. The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" says that he lived on an island in the North Sea and had a strange appearance: a human face and a bird body, two green snakes hanging from his ears, and two flying red snakes under his feet. The scene of worshiping the God of Winter is very grand. "Records of the Grand Historian" records that in the Han Dynasty, 70 boys and girls had to sing the song "Xuanming" together: "Xuanming is in the shade, the hibernating insects are reduced... It is time to collect food, and it is time to put it away." This means that when the weather gets cold, food should be stored well.

It is recorded in "Lüshi Chunqiu·Mengdong": "This month is the beginning of winter. Three days before the beginning of winter, the historian asked the emperor, and said: 'Winter begins on a certain day, and virtue lies in water.' The emperor then fasted. On the day of the beginning of winter, the emperor personally led the three dukes, nine ministers and officials to welcome winter in the northern suburbs. On his return, he rewarded those who had died and provided relief to the orphans and widows." On that day, the emperor led the three dukes, nine ministers and officials to the northern suburbs six miles away to welcome winter. After he returns, the emperor will reward him generously to ensure social stability and provide relief to the orphans and widows. What to eat to maintain health after the beginning of winter?1.

In addition, white radish also contains lignin and a variety of enzymes, which have certain effects on lowering blood lipids, softening blood vessels, and stabilizing blood pressure; its rich minerals can help the human body improve immunity and prevent the occurrence of diseases such as frostbite. 2. Eat lotus root after the beginning of winter to maintain health <br /> Lotus root is one of the common ingredients in winter. Fresh lotus root contains up to 20% carbohydrates and protein, and is also rich in various vitamins and minerals. Eating lotus root raw after mixing it with cold water or blanching it briefly can help clear away heat and moisten the lungs. However, in winter, people are more accustomed to eating cooked lotus roots. The cooked lotus root is warm in nature and can strengthen the spleen and stimulate the appetite. Cooking cooked lotus root with pork ribs can also nourish the heart and produce blood. Adding some lotus root when eating hot pot can not only complement the coldness of the green vegetables, but also serve as a staple food.
