You can eat more ginger in summer to replenish your yang energy. Ginger is pungent and warm in nature, and has various effects such as dispelling cold and inducing sweating, resolving phlegm and relieving cough, harmonizing the stomach, and stopping vomiting. Drinking ginger tea is a simple and easy health care method, and summer is the best season to drink ginger tea. Put 4 slices of ginger, 4 jujubes and an appropriate amount of brown sugar into a cup and brew with boiling water. A cup of ginger and jujube tea that warms the stomach and dispels cold is ready. According to the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, summer is the hottest time of the year when grass and trees are lush, and the body's yang energy radiates from the inside out to the body surface. So at this time "the Yang Qi is on the surface, and the stomach is empty and cold." It is recommended to eat ginger in summer because ginger is warm in nature and is a positive medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine talks about nourishing yang in spring and summer, which means that in spring and summer we should follow the characteristics of the growth of yang energy and protect the body's yang energy. Therefore, eating some ginger can help the growth of yang energy. In addition, eating ginger in summer can prevent colds. It is easy to sweat in the hot summer, and excessive sweating will damage a person's vital energy. A moderate amount of ginger can prevent colds. In the rural areas of Jincheng, Changzhi and other places in southeastern Shanxi, there is a custom of drying ginger in the sun during the Great Heat season. In summer, people often suffer from abdominal distension, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting, which can be cured by drinking some ginger water. The Great Heat falls around the middle of the dog days, and the hot weather is a good time to dry ginger. What is the origin of Great Heat?The "Great Heat" solar term occurs between July 22 and 24 every year when the sun reaches 120° of the ecliptic longitude."Great Heat" and "Minor Heat" are both festivals that reflect the degree of heat in summer. "Great Heat" means extreme heat. "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" states: "In the middle of June,...heat is divided into small and large heat. The beginning of the month is small, the middle of the month is large, and the heat is still large now." This is around the "middle of the dog days", when most parts of the country enter the hottest period of the year and it is also the fastest growing period for warmth-loving crops. However, natural disasters such as drought, flood, and typhoon occur frequently, and there are tasks such as drought resistance, flood drainage, typhoon prevention, and field management. In ancient my country, the Great Heat was divided into three phases: "The first phase is when rotten grass turns into fireflies; the second phase is when the soil becomes moist and the heat becomes humid; the third phase is when heavy rains come." There are more than 2,000 species of fireflies in the world, divided into aquatic and terrestrial. Terrestrial fireflies lay eggs on dead grass. During the Great Heat, fireflies hatch from eggs, so the ancients believed that fireflies were transformed from rotten grass. The second sign is that the weather begins to become hot and humid, and the land is also very humid. The third sign is that there will often be heavy thunderstorms, which will reduce the heat and humidity, and the weather begins to transition to the Beginning of Autumn. In order to fully reflect the changes in seasonal climate, ancient astronomers used the "gnomon" method to measure the sun's shadow as early as the Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period to determine the vernal equinox, summer solstice, autumnal equinox, and winter solstice. According to the changes in the sun's position on the ecliptic and the resulting evolution of the ground climate throughout the year, the whole year was divided into 24 equal parts and each part was named. This is the origin of the 24 solar terms. What is the Great Heat solar term?Great Heat is one of the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar, when the sun is at 120° of the ecliptic longitude. During the Great Heat period, Chinese people have the customs of drinking Fu tea, drying Fu ginger, burning Fu incense, and drinking mutton soup. "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" says: "The Great Heat is in the middle of June. Heat is hot and can be divided into small and large heat. The beginning of the month is small, the middle of the month is big, and the heat is still big now." Its climatic characteristics are: "When the Big Dipper points to Bing, it is the Great Heat. At this time, the weather is much hotter than the Lesser Heat, so it is named the Great Heat." The Great Heat solar term is around the middle of the "Three Hot Days", the hottest period of the year, with the highest temperature and the fastest growth of crops. At the same time, various meteorological disasters such as drought, flood and wind disasters are also most frequent in many areas.The eight-character destiny is predetermined for each person after birth.
