So, when people heard the first spring thunder, they would quickly shake out their clothes to ensure they would not get lice for the whole year and to shake off bad luck. 【Sacrifice to the White Tiger to resolve disputes】 On the day of Jingzhe, people would sprinkle lime outside the door threshold to prevent ants and small insects from entering the house. As for the "big insects" in the mountains, they would smear lard on the mouths of white tiger sculptures or paper-painted tigers. Since the white tiger is the god of gossip, feeding it will prevent it from hurting people or spreading rumors. 【Eat pears during the Waking of Insects】 There is a folk custom of eating pears during the Waking of Insects. In traditional culture, it is generally taboo to eat pears during festivals. However, eating pears during the Waking of Insects symbolizes separation from pests and keeping away from diseases. As the saying goes, "Cold in the Jingzhe period, warm in the Spring Equinox", mid-February is also a time of sudden changes in temperature, with changeable temperatures and a relatively dry climate, which can easily lead to dry mouth, cough and other external factors. Eating pears can help improve your temper, balance the five internal organs, strengthen your body and resist the invasion of bacteria. What is the best thing to do during Jingzhe in 2020?Modern people pay more and more attention to health preservation. Jingzhe is the best time to preserve health, so Jingzhe is the most suitable day for health preservation.——Diet 1. Eat light food. When Jingzhe arrives, the weather warms up. Light food helps the body's metabolism. The focus of health preservation during the Jingzhe solar term is on protecting the liver and strengthening the spleen. A light diet can play a role in protecting the liver and strengthening the spleen. 2. Eat more foods that promote the production of body fluids and moisten the lungs. The temperature during the Jingzhe season is still generally low and dry, so it is easy to get a sore throat. In your daily diet, you should add more foods that promote the production of body fluids and moisten the lungs, such as snow pears, white fungus, spring bamboo shoots, etc. 3. Do not eat cold food. Since the temperature is relatively low during the Jingzhe season and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, it is not suitable to eat cold food during this solar term. It is best to eat warm food or food at room temperature. —— Daily life 1. Go to bed early and get up early, wash with warm water. During the Jingzhe season, you should develop the habit of going to bed early and getting up early. This will help you develop good living habits. Washing with warm water after getting up can make you more energetic. This is also a way to avoid "spring sleepiness". 2. Keep the room fresh and dry. The Jingzhe season is also the beginning of the rainy season, and the south will be humid, so keep the room fresh and dry. This can prevent the growth of indoor bacteria and avoid heavy moisture, which can lead to rheumatic pain. 3. Develop the habit of soaking your feet before going to bed. Soaking your feet in hot water before going to bed has a good health care effect, and can also promote blood circulation and help sleep. Only with high quality sleep can you avoid "spring sleepiness". Developing the habit of soaking your feet before going to bed has many benefits. Summary: Jingzhe, with the sound of spring thunder, all things grow together, and it also reminds people to wake up in time. Pretending to be asleep, sleeping too much or oversleeping will make you miss the beauty. When you wake up, the flowers are in bloom and your beloved is by your side. I hope you will make the most of the good time! |
