September 8, 2019 is the White Dew solar term. The arrival of the White Dew solar term means that the weather is gradually getting cooler. What traditional food is eaten during Bailu? What to eat during Bailu is good for your health? The eighth month of the lunar calendar is also known as Guiyue, Zhuangyue, Zhongqiu, Nangong, and Zhongshang. Let’s learn with Shuimoxiansheng.com what we need to pay attention to in this beautiful eighth month of the lunar calendar in 2019.What traditional food is eaten during Bailu?1. "Ten Kinds of White"There is a custom of celebrating the White Dew Festival in Wenzhou, Zhejiang and other places. In Cangnan, Pingyang and other places, people collect "ten kinds of white" (there is also a saying of "three kinds of white") on this day to feed black-bone white-feathered chickens (or ducks). It is said that eating them can nourish the body and remove wind (arthritis). The “ten kinds of white” here refer to ten kinds of herbs with the word “white” in their name, such as baimumo, baimaoku, etc., which correspond to the literal meaning of “bailu”. 2. Drink rice wine The areas of Xingning, Sandu and Liaojiang in Zixing have always had the custom of brewing wine. Every year when the White Dew Festival comes, every family makes wine, and when entertaining guests, they must drink "local wine". The wine is warm and slightly sweet, and is called "Bai Lu Rice Wine". Bailu wine is made from glutinous rice, sorghum and other grains. It has a slightly sweet taste, so it is called "Bailu rice wine". 3. White Dew Tea There is a saying among the people that "Spring tea is bitter, summer tea is astringent, and you should drink tea in Autumn during the White Dew season". The tea trees at this time have gone through the scorching heat of summer, and the period around White Dew is the best time for them to grow. When the White Dew solar term arrives, autumn begins to deepen. Bailu tea is neither as fresh and tender as spring tea, nor as dry and bitter as summer tea. Instead, it has a unique sweet and refreshing fragrance and is especially loved by veteran tea drinkers. 4. Eat longan There is a traditional custom in Fuzhou, Fujian called "eating longan during the White Dew Festival". The folk belief is that eating longan on the day of White Dew has a miraculous effect of nourishing the body. Because longan itself has many functions such as invigorating qi and spleen, nourishing blood and calming the nerves, moisturizing the skin and beautifying, it can also treat anemia, insomnia, neurasthenia and other diseases. What to eat during Bailu is good for your health?1. Autumn Pear <br /> Autumn is the season when various fruits and vegetables mature, and autumn pear is one of them. Pears can replenish water, nourish yin and moisten the lungs, and are especially good for the throat. If you suffer from pharyngitis or a bad throat, you can eat more autumn pears.2. Oranges <br /> It goes without saying that oranges are rich in vitamin C, as everyone knows. Autumn is a season for recuperating and storing energy. It is the time when the body needs to store energy and nutrients, so you should consume more nutritious fruits. 3. Grapes <br /> Grapes contain a variety of rich nutrients. If you eat grapes, it is best to eat the grape seeds together. Grapes can warm and replenish yang energy, and grape seeds contain antioxidant ingredients that can fight aging spots, so eating grapes without spitting out the seeds will make your skin better. What should we pay attention to in Bailu health preservation?1. It is advisable to calm your mind and spiritThe main principle should be to "calm the mind and settle the spirit", especially white-collar workers should avoid getting angry, and the elderly should pay attention to avoid excessive sadness, be open-minded, maintain a happy mood and stable emotions. 2. Eat small and frequent meals The principle of Bailu diet should be to "nourish the heart, liver, spleen and stomach". You can eat more sour foods to nourish the liver, but you should not eat too much to avoid gastrointestinal stagnation and gastrointestinal diseases. The elderly and children should pay more attention to eating small meals frequently, and mainly eat warm and soft foods. They should not eat too much raw, cold and hard food. 3. No bare chest or back The temperature difference between morning and night will gradually increase. Although the daytime temperature can still reach over 30 degrees Celsius, it will be cooler at night. The temperature difference between day and night will be more obvious when it rains. As the saying goes, "Don't expose your body during the White Dew season." At this time, you should pay attention to adding clothes and quilts in the morning and evening, and don't expose your chest and back. Especially for the elderly and children, don't sleep in the cool at night, and it's best to bring a small jacket when going out in the morning to prevent catching a cold. Destiny is not one thing, but is divided into fate and luck. Fate is innate, while luck changes in different stages of life. The luck at different times is different.
