Introduction: The solar terms represent changes in climate, and different solar terms herald different changes in the weather. So what do the three signs of Jingzhe represent, and what should we pay attention to in maintaining health during Jingzhe? The various festivals in the first month of the lunar calendar will come soon after the Spring Festival. Following Shuimoxiansheng.com’s special topic on the first month of the lunar calendar in 2019, let’s count how many important traditional festivals and customs there are in this month.What do the three signs of Jingzhe represent?Jingzhe was called "Qizhe" in ancient times. It is the third solar term in the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar, marking the beginning of mid-spring. The ancient Chinese divided the Waking of Insects into three stages: "The first stage is when peach trees begin to bloom; the second stage is when orioles sing; the third stage is when eagles transform into doves." The flower corresponding to the first stage is peach blossom, the second stage is apricot blossom, and the third stage is rose.The so-called peach blossoms begin to bloom refers to the day of Jingzhe. Peach blossoms begin to bloom in the month. The peach blossoms are young and bright, which is the beginning of spring. The red peach blossoms are tender, the green willow leaves are new, and the flowing peach blossoms attract people with all kinds of charm. Cang Geng is the oriole. The so-called "Cang Geng Ming" refers to the day five days after the Waking of Insects when the oriole is the first to feel the spring sun and start singing to seek friends. Cang means green, Qing means clear and Geng means renewal. “When I said goodbye to the Cang family, the Cang and Geng clanged.” Therefore, literati also called it “Li Huang.” “Li Huang’s voice intermittently penetrates the trees” became a sad sound. Five days later, the eagle turned into a dove. The eagle is a bird of prey, and the dove is the present-day cuckoo. The so-called "the eagle turns into a dove" refers to the "Zhanggui Jing" which says: In the middle of spring, the trees are lush, and its beak is still soft, so it cannot catch birds. It stares with its eyes wide open and endures hunger like a fool, and then turns into a dove, hence the name "the eagle turns into a dove". This means that the eagle transforms into a dove in spring. Because the killing energy of childbirth is strong, birds of prey are affected by it and change. And in autumn, the dove turns into an eagle. "The Book of Rites" says that when a dove transforms into an eagle, it is autumn. What should we pay attention to in health preservation during Jingzhe?Tips for keeping healthy during Jingzhe: The weather is dry, so eat a light dietThe climate is relatively dry, which can easily cause people to have dry mouth and cough. There is a custom in our country of eating pears on the Waking of Insects day. Experts say that raw pears are cold in nature and sweet in taste, and have the effects of moistening the lungs and relieving coughs, nourishing yin and clearing away heat. In addition, patients with cough can also eat lotus seeds, loquats, monk fruit and other foods to relieve pain. The diet should be light, and greasy food is best not to eat. Irritating food, such as chili peppers, onions, garlic, and pepper should also be eaten less. In addition, the liver qi is strong in spring and it is easy to damage the spleen, so during the Jingzhe season, you should eat less sour food and eat more sweet foods such as jujube and yam to nourish the spleen. You can make jujube porridge, yam porridge, etc. Tips for keeping fit during Jingzhe: Exercise appropriately, and warm up before exercise is essential <br /> In addition to the cold, winter also brings us stiffness: the functions of various organs such as internal organs and muscles are at a low level, and the bones and ligaments are very stiff. Bending down, kicking high on the toes, or even twisting the waist or skipping rope rashly can easily cause sports injuries. Especially before engaging in strenuous exercise, "warm-up exercises" are indispensable to prevent muscle and bone injuries. Tips for keeping fit during the Jingzhe Festival: Go to bed early and get up early for good health During the Jingzhe solar term, Yang energy gradually rises and the climate becomes warmer. However, the cold air in the north is still strong, the climate changes greatly, and the temperature difference between morning and evening and noon is large, and the temperature is unpredictable. Therefore, "spring covering" is particularly important. It is not advisable to take off warm clothes too early. You must know that colds are often caused by taking off too many clothes when the temperature rises or sweating, and suddenly catching a cold. Tips for keeping healthy during Jingzhe: Dress appropriately to prevent spring colds <br /> The weather becomes noticeably warmer after Jingzhe. Not only do various animals begin to move around, but microorganisms (including bacteria and viruses that can cause diseases) also begin to grow and multiply, and various infectious diseases also become prevalent. Experts suggest that people should pay attention to the weather station's forecast of strong cold air activities, be careful of changes in temperature, and prevent the occurrence of colds, flu, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. According to modern epidemiological surveys, spring is a high-incidence season for liver diseases. We should pay attention to nourishing and protecting the liver to prevent the spread of infectious diseases in spring.
