What activities can help boost your luck during the 2020 Chushu solar term?

1. Enjoy the autumn clouds <br /> The autumn clouds are thin in the sky, and the sky is long and boundless. The autumn is coming, and the most beautiful season of the year is approaching. There is a saying among the people that "July and August are the best time to enjoy the beautiful clouds".
2. Release river lanterns <br /> River lanterns are also called "lotus lanterns". Generally, a lamp or candle is placed on a base and placed in rivers, lakes or seas on the night of the Ghost Festival, allowing them to float. The purpose of releasing river lanterns is to pray for the salvation of drowned ghosts and other wandering spirits in the water.
3. Fishing Festival <br /> During the period of the beginning of summer heat every year, a grand fishing festival is held along the coast of Zhejiang to send off fishermen to go out to sea. At this time, the sea water is relatively warm, fish, shrimp and shellfish are mature, and people can often enjoy a variety of delicious seafood.
4. Ancestor worship <br /> Around the beginning of summer, there are folk activities to celebrate Zhongyuan Festival, commonly known as "the 15th day of the seventh month" or "Zhongyuan Festival". In the old days, people would have a ceremony to open the Ghost Gate from the beginning of July, and would hold general charity activities until the end of the month when the Ghost Gate was closed.
5. Eating duck during the Chushu period<br /> During the Chushu period, people have the custom of eating duck, and there are many ways to cook it. On the day of Chushu, old Beijingers would buy Chushu lily duck and other dishes. In Jiangsu Province, after making duck dishes, the first thing to do is to serve a bowl to neighbors. This is called "giving duck on Chushu will make every household healthy."
6. Eat hawthorn <br /> Old people say that you should eat sour food during the Beginning of Heat. The hawthorn fruit looks like red agate. Wash it and take a bite. It tastes sour and sweet, and it is appetizing and helps digestion. Hawthorn is also everyone's childhood memory. It can be found in candied haws, hawthorn cakes, hawthorn cakes, and fruit jelly... It can also be made into juice, sauce, and wine.
7. Eat pears
"Autumn pears are the most nourishing." As the season gradually gets dry, the elders always let their children eat more pears. Pears can also be juiced or stewed, which is best for people with weak spleen and stomach.

Recommended diet for the Beginning of Heat: Earthy Porridge

[Ingredients]: Appropriate amounts of millet, mung beans, pumpkin, 20 grams of lily, and 7 water chestnuts. (The editor's experience after cooking it many times is: the heat in the north is less and the dry air is gradually rising, so people living in the north should eat slightly more millet and less mung beans; the humidity and heat in the south are still heavy, so people living in the south should eat slightly more mung beans and less millet.)
[Preparation]: Wash the mung beans and lilies, soak them for half an hour in advance, boil the lilies and mung beans first, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, then add pumpkin, millet and water chestnuts and cook together. The mung beans, pumpkin and millet will be soft in about 30 minutes.
principle:
Yellow foods have the strongest “earthiness” and nourish the spleen and stomach. This porridge uses millet and pumpkin. Millet was fed to patients and postpartum women in the old days because it is the most tonifying food; pumpkin has the effect of detoxifying and protecting the stomach, and replenishing the middle and strengthening the qi.
Lily replenishes metal energy, moistens the lungs, and calms the soul. It is an important food ingredient that should be kept on hand during the golden autumn, especially as people are prone to depression in autumn. People who feel "sad in autumn" can keep their spirits focused by strengthening their metal energy.
Water chestnut is called "underground snow pear" because of its excellent effect in nourishing yin and moistening dryness. Some netizens don’t know what water chestnuts are. Please look at the picture below. It is peeled water chestnuts. Subconscious acupoint pressing suggests that if you feel your throat is dry in autumn and drinking water does not quench your thirst, eat a few water chestnuts. The heat will disappear immediately and you will feel immediately moisturized and especially comfortable.
Mung beans are indispensable. Together with other ingredients, they can mildly clear away heat. Having a bowl of mung beans every day during the Beginning of Autumn is suitable for all body types and is a very good tonic for the spleen and stomach. The spleen and stomach are the foundation of our acquired constitution. Once they are strong, all the internal organs will become strong as well, and our complexion and spirit will also improve.
