Notes on the Lesser Heat► Keep calm and cultivate your mindDuring the Lesser Heat season, the weather is hot and people tend to be irritable, sleepy and lack energy. Therefore, corresponding to the characteristics of this season, in terms of health preservation, we should maintain a healthy heart based on the correspondence between the seasons and the five internal organs. The heart is the head of the five internal organs. There is a saying that "when the heart beats, all the internal organs shake", so it is particularly important to maintain the heart. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that keeping calm can relieve tension, make one feel good, and regulate qi and blood; it not only helps to strengthen the heart function, but also conforms to the principle of "nourishing yang in spring and summer". Therefore, the best way to maintain health in summer is to keep your mind calm, as a calm mind will naturally bring you coolness. ►Pay attention to food hygiene and eat light and moderate amounts of food The heavy rain and high temperature during the Lesser Heat season make digestive tract diseases, which are already common in summer, even more frequent. Therefore, during this period of time, we must pay attention to food hygiene and eat in moderation, not overeating or overeating; and it is best for the food to be light and nutritious. ► Take precautions against heat stroke when going out Heatstroke is a common disease in summer, and the weather characteristics during the Lesser Heat season make it even more prone to heatstroke. Therefore, everyone must take precautions against heatstroke when going out, bring parasols, sun hats and other tools, drink plenty of water, and try to avoid going out when the afternoon sun is hot. ►Don’t take cold showers or eat too much cold food As the weather gets hotter, cold drinks, ice cream, popsicles, and iced drinks are very popular; taking a shower has also become a way to cool off, but these are very bad for your health and can easily cause physical discomfort or pose health risks. Customs of Minor Heat1. Eat mangoEating mangoes during the Lesser Heat season means that this season is the ripening and peak production period for mangoes. According to legend, a devout believer once donated his mango orchard to Sakyamuni so that he could rest under the shade of the trees. 2. Drink cooling soup or porridge "The heat is in the dog days." Lesser Heat is the beginning of the dog days. When the weather is hot, you should drink more porridge. The heat-relief soup or porridge made with lotus leaves, wild yam, lentils, coix seeds, umbellate, oriental water plantain, kapok flowers and other ingredients, whether sweet or salty, is very suitable for consumption during this solar term. Eating more fruits is also beneficial for preventing heatstroke, but do not consume too much to avoid increasing the burden on the stomach and intestines, which may cause diarrhea in severe cases. 3. Eat new food during the Lesser Heat The arrival of Lesser Heat means that hot summer weather is about to begin. In order to cope with the upcoming hot weather and express gratitude for the earliest round of grain harvest, Chinese society has gradually formed customs such as "eating new food" and "worshiping the god of grains" over thousands of years. "Eating new rice" means tasting new rice after the Lesser Heat. Farmers grind the newly harvested rice into rice, make rice and offer it to the grain god and ancestors to express their gratitude to nature and the ancestors. Then everyone tastes the new wine. It is said that "eating new" means "eating spicy food", and it is the first spicy day after the Lesser Heat Festival. People in cities usually buy a small amount of new rice and cook it together with old rice, and add newly-coming vegetables. Therefore, there is a saying among the people that millet should be eaten during the Lesser Heat and grain should be eaten during the Greater Heat. 4. Drink mutton soup People in the north drink mutton soup during the Lesser Heat and Greater Heat periods. First, it can nourish the body. Second, "mutton" and "yang" are homophones, and the ancients believed that more yang energy is lost in summer, so drinking mutton soup can increase the yang energy. The same grain of gold may have the same fate but different fortunes. Some gold will be buried forever in the sand and will never be discovered. This is what is called good fate and bad fortune.
