Therefore, the Grain Rain solar term in 2019 is not suitable for funerals! What should we eat during Grain Rain to maintain health?Guyu Health Preservation: Drink Guyu TeaAs the folk proverb goes, "Guyu, Guyu, tea picking is in harmony with the rain." Guyu is the time for picking tea. The tea picked before Grain Rain is tender, fragrant and tastes the best, so it has become a custom to taste new tea during Grain Rain. Guyu tea is warm and cool, because Guyu grows in the mild spring, and the temperature in spring is also moderate, so Guyu tea has the effect of warming and removing internal heat, and can be used as tea therapy. Grain Rain Health Preservation: Eating Toona sinensis As the saying goes, "Before the rain, the buds of Toon are extremely tender, and after the rain, the buds grow out of the wood." Around the time of Grain Rain is a good time to eat Chinese toon, especially in the northern regions. Eating Chinese toon during Grain Rain is the most precious seasonal dish at the moment. At this time, the Chinese toon is mellow, refreshing and nutritious. Only at this time of the year can you taste the "flavor of spring"! Moreover, toon has the effects of improving the body's immunity, strengthening the stomach, regulating qi, stopping diarrhea, moisturizing the skin, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and insecticidal. Guyu Health Preservation: Black Rice During the Grain Rain season every year, the Zhaoxing Dong Village has the custom of "eating black rice, making painted faces, and sowing rice seeds." On the day of Grain Rain, young men and women fully express their love. Young men would go to the girl's house and throw bamboo baskets to ask for black rice. The more people who go, the more face the girl's family feels. It is a dual expression of the local farming culture and marriage customs. Guyu Health Preservation: Eat Coriander “The snow stops during Qingming and the frost stops during Grain Rain.” During the 15 days before and after Grain Rain and the last 3 days of Qingming, the spleen is in its active period. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that coriander is warm in nature and sweet in taste, can strengthen the stomach and aid digestion, promote diuresis and relieve constipation, and has the functions of sweating, clearing rashes, digesting food and relieving gas. It is suitable for colds, indigestion, etc. Eating coriander in spring can dispel the cold, which is especially suitable when the weather is chilly. What are the taboos to pay attention to during funerals?1. Avoid holding funerals on double-year dates. Even days are a bad omen, as people believe that a funeral held on an even day means two deaths. Therefore, funerals must be held on odd days and not on even days.2. Avoid holding funerals at noon. This taboo custom exists in the Li ethnic group area. If someone dies in a Li family, they are usually buried in the afternoon after dying in the morning, or the next day after dying in the afternoon. The body is kept at home for a very short time, but it is taboo to hold the funeral at noon. It is believed that violating taboos will bring disaster. 3. Avoid shedding tears on the corpse. There is a saying circulating in some areas that if someone in the family dies, one should avoid crying when dressing the deceased to avoid spilling tears on the corpse. It is believed that something will happen and the dead will be awakened. 4. Avoid letting the coffin go out through the door. There is a saying that the Manchus have taboo customs. It is believed that doors are places for people to enter and exit, and it is taboo for the deceased to walk sideways, otherwise it is considered unlucky, so there is a custom of taking out the coffin through the window. 5. Cats are not allowed to appear in front of the coffin. Before the funeral, the body is kept at the wake and cats are not allowed to approach. It is believed that if a cat touches or jumps over the body, it will be as if the deceased suddenly stands up, which means harm to the family. 6. Avoid getting a haircut. If someone dies in the family, family members or men are not allowed to have their hair cut or shave for one month. When an elder passes away, it is usually the younger generation who observe the custom of keeping hair, believing that hair is inherited from parents and that when a loved one passes away, keeping hair is a way to express grief, filial piety and longing. Some areas also believe that getting a haircut is a way to change one's appearance so that the dead cannot recognize them and avoid disasters. There is also another saying that a baby can only have his hair cut 100 days after birth, otherwise the baby may die. 7. No fun is allowed on the anniversary of the death. On the day of a relative's death, it is taboo to do auspicious things, such as drinking and having fun. Needless to say, doing joyful things on the day of the death of a person is considered disrespectful. On the "taboo day" which is also called "taboo food day", the ancients said: "The Book of Rites - Tan Gong Shang" says: "A gentleman has lifelong worries but no one-day troubles, so he should not be happy on the taboo day." This is what everyone follows.
