Since ancient times, people have celebrated the harvest and worshipped their ancestors at this time to pray for the elimination of disasters and a good harvest. Therefore, the summer solstice was incorporated into the ancient rituals of worshiping gods as a festival. "The Book of Zhou: Spring Officials" states: "When the summer solstice comes, bring local animals and demons." In the Zhou Dynasty, offering sacrifices to gods at the summer solstice was meant to eliminate famine, hunger and death. The summer solstice falls after the wheat harvest, and farmers thank God for the good harvest and pray for "autumn rewards." Around the summer solstice, some places hold a grand "summer wheat harvest" ceremony, which is a remnant of the ancient "summer sacrifice" activity.How to maintain health during the summer solstice?★ 1. As the saying goes: "Train in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer." Exercise in summer plays an important role in health. Regular exercise in summer can enhance physical fitness and improve the body's resistance to disease. The climate is hot in summer and the human body consumes more energy. You should be careful to avoid exercising in the sun. Therefore, only reasonable arrangements can achieve good fitness results.★ 2. The climate is hot in summer, and the qi and blood of the human body tend to the surface of the body, forming a physiological state in which the yang qi is outside and the yin qi is inside. Human digestive function is relatively weak, so food conditioning should focus on eliminating heat, relieving summer heat, strengthening the spleen and replenishing Qi. Therefore, it is advisable to choose light, refreshing, less greasy and easy to digest food. Choose sour and spicy foods to enhance your appetite. ★ 3. In summer, when the heat is strong and the sun is scorching, the pores open and sweat leaks out. Sweat is the fluid of the heart, and the heart qi is most easily damaged. In the hot summer, we should pay special attention to mental care. To take care of your spirit in summer, you should keep yourself clear-headed, happy, and broad-minded so that your mind can be nourished. In the summer when everything flourishes, we should have a wide range of interests and hobbies. Everyone's destiny is different, and perhaps it has been determined on the day we were born.
