What is the Grain Full solar term?

According to the records in ancient books, "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes in the Lunar Calendar", "In the middle of April, things are small and full."
The Grain Full solar term is the second solar term in summer. At this time, the grains of summer crops such as wheat in the northern part of the country have begun to become full but are not yet mature, which is approximately equivalent to the late milky stage, so it is called Grain Full.
“Three Signs of Grain Full”: the first sign is the blooming of bitter herbs, the second sign is the death of weeds, and the third sign is the arrival of Minor Heat.
Bitter Herb Show: "Bi Ya" regards tea as bitter herb. The Mao Shi says, "Who says tea is bitter?" That's right. Bao said: "The bitter taste is formed by the influence of fire." "Erya" said: "Those that are not lush but bear fruit are called Xiu, and those that are lush but not bear fruit are called Ying." This bitter vegetable should be called Ying. Cai Yong's "Monthly Ordinances" refers to it as bittercress.
Mi Cao is dead: Zheng Kangcheng and Bao Jingxiang both said: Mi Cao is a member of the family of Trichosanthes. The note of "Book of Rites" says: "The branches and leaves of grass are fine." Fang said: "All things that are born from the influence of Yang are strong and stand firm; those that are born from the influence of Yin are soft and weak." The so-called fine grass is born from the extreme Yin, so it cannot overcome the extreme Yang and dies.
It was originally the beginning of Lesser Heat, but later in the History of Jin Dynasty it was changed to the beginning of Wheat Autumn. "Monthly Ordinances" states: "The wheat harvest arrives in April; the Lesser Heat arrives in May. The Lesser Heat is the middle solar term in April, so it is changed. Autumn is the time when all grains mature. Although it is summer at this time, it is autumn for wheat, so it is called the wheat harvest."
Judging from the climate characteristics, during the period from the Grain Full solar term to the next Grain in Ear solar term, all parts of the country gradually entered summer, the temperature difference between the north and the south further narrowed, and precipitation further increased.

What is the best food to eat during the Grain Full solar term in 2019?

During the Grain Full solar term, dampness is at its peak, so you should eat more foods and vegetables that clear away heat and dampness.
The weather is hot and rainy during the Grain Full season. In this hot, humid and hot environment, the human body feels the heat and humidity are unbearable, but it is unable to maintain heat balance through water evaporation. This lack of temperature regulation can cause a series of uncomfortable symptoms such as chest tightness, palpitations, lack of energy, and general fatigue. Traditional Chinese medicine calls high temperature and high humidity that have a negative impact on people's health "heat evil" and "warm evil", and calls the human body's yin and yang, qi and blood, and the functional activities of the internal organs "positive energy". Both heat evil and damp evil can harm people's health. When "evil qi" prevails over righteous qi, people will become sick.
