In central and northern Hunan, there is a traditional way of nourishing the body, which is to eat young chickens during the Great Heat. "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes in the Lunar Calendar" says: "Heat is hot, and there are two types of heat: the beginning of the month is small, and the middle of the month is big. Today is the big heat! People in Guangdong eat fairy grass, and people in the two lakes eat young chickens." What are the benefits of eating young chicken during the Great Heat?The Great Heat season is the period with the highest temperature in the year. The continuous high temperature weather makes people with weak constitutions easily suffer from heatstroke during this period. Even if they do not suffer from heatstroke, they will experience loss of appetite, dizziness, fatigue, irritability and excessive sweating, which is what Chinese medicine calls "summer heatstroke."There is a certain scientific reason for eating young chickens during the Great Heat. Because chicken has the effects of warming the middle, replenishing qi, replenishing essence and filling marrow, people who have poor appetite, sweat a lot, are weak and thin during the Great Heat can improve their symptoms after eating it, and it has the effect of stimulating appetite and strengthening the body. Compared with other meats, the protein in young chicken is also high-quality protein. Eating some young chicken can warm the middle and replenish the qi, laying a good foundation for withstanding the summer heat. About the Three Signs of Great HeatGreat Heat is the twelfth solar term in the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar, when the sun reaches 120 degrees of ecliptic longitude. "Tongwei·Xiaojing Yuanshenqi" records: "Fifteen days after Lesser Heat, when the Big Dipper points to the west, it is Greater Heat, the middle of June. Small and Big are divided into big and small in the extreme heat, small after the beginning and big after the full moon." This is around the middle of the dog days of summer, the hottest period of the year in most parts of China, and also the fastest growing period for heat-loving crops.The Chinese working people divide the Great Heat 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 sultry; 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, and during the Great Heat, the fireflies eggs hatch, 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, and these heavy rains will reduce the heat and humidity, and the weather begins to transition to the Beginning of Autumn. 2019 is the year of Tai Sui for those born in the Year of the Pig.
