When is Frost Descent in 2018? What should we eat during Frost Descent?
The Frost Descent solar term is coming in 2018. Frost Descent is the last solar term in autumn. So when is Frost Descent this year? What to eat during the Frost Descent? Mr. Shui Mo has collected everything related to the ninth month of the lunar calendar in 2018. If you want to know, you can come and check it out!Frost Descent Time in 2018:Tuesday, October 23, 2018 19:21:26Lunar calendar year of Wuxu, month of Renxu (September 15), day of Wuzi, 19:21:26 "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" states: "In the middle of September, the air is cold and condensed, and the dew turns into frost." At this time, white frost had appeared in the Yellow River Basin in my country. Silver ice crystals were shining brightly on the thousands of miles of fertile fields. The leaves were turning yellow and falling. The ancient book “Explanation of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms” says: “When the weather becomes cold, frost falls, and the yin begins to condense.” It can be seen that “frost falls” means that the weather is gradually getting colder and frost begins to fall. In ancient my country, Frost Descent was divided into three stages: "In the first stage, jackals sacrifice animals; in the second stage, grass and trees turn yellow and fall; in the third stage, stinging insects all lie down." During this solar term, jackals will display their captured prey before eating it. What to eat during Frost’s Descent?1. Beef: In many places in mainland China, there is a custom of eating beef during the Frost Descent Festival. For example, in Yulin, Guangxi, residents are accustomed to eating beef noodle soup for breakfast and beef fried with radish or beef brisket stew for lunch or dinner on the day of Frost's Descent to replenish energy and pray for warmth and strength in the winter. In addition to beef, mutton and rabbit meat are also suitable for Frost Descent.Beef has high nutritional value. There is an ancient saying that "beef replenishes qi and has the same effect as astragalus." "Compendium of Materia Medica" points out that beef can "calm the middle and replenish qi, nourish the spleen and stomach, replenish the deficiency and strengthen the body, strengthen the tendons and bones, eliminate edema, and remove dampness." Traditional Chinese medicine believes that beef enters the spleen and stomach meridians and is an excellent product for nourishing the spleen and stomach. Western nutritionism believes that beef is high in protein and low in fat, so it tastes delicious and is loved by people, enjoying the reputation of "the pride of meat". Beef can nourish the spleen and stomach, especially in the autumn when we need some stomach-nourishing food. Beef also has the effect of nourishing the kidneys, so men can eat more of it. At the same time, you can also eat more stir-fried beef, braised beef brisket, and beef bone marrow stewed with yam. 2. Persimmons In some places in China, people eat red persimmons during the Frost's Descent season. In the eyes of local people, this not only keeps people warm, but also replenishes muscles and bones. It is a very good Frost's Descent food. The old people in Quanzhou say that eating persimmons during the Frost's Descent will prevent a runny nose. In some places, the explanation for this custom is: you must eat persimmons on the day of Frost's Descent, otherwise your lips will be chapped throughout the winter. At this time, people living in the countryside would climb up the tall persimmon trees and pick a few shiny, sweet persimmons to eat. 3. During the Frost Descent, the second-phase rice in southern Taiwan has matured and is ready for harvest. It is also the harvest season for white pomelo in Madou Township, Tainan. The large white pomelo, known as the "king of pomelo", is more highly regarded than pomelo, hence the saying "experts eat white pomelo and laymen eat pomelo". The best quality white pomelo tastes sour with a hint of sweetness, and tastes even better if dipped in plum powder. Because the fruit is sweet and juicy, it can be eaten by patients with hot coughs and diabetes. It also has the effects of sobering up, lowering blood pressure, reducing fever, and restoring physical strength. The pulp of white pomelo contains pomelo peel sweet, new orange peel sweet, orange peel sugar sweet and sugar, and is rich in nutrients such as vitamin C, mineral potassium and organic acids. It is cold, sweet and sour in nature. It can strengthen the stomach and help digestion, promote salivation and quench thirst, eliminate fatigue, and also has the effect of lowering blood sugar. Eating more pulp can not only increase nutrition but also benefit health. 4. Radish. A Shandong agricultural proverb goes: "In the Beginning of Heat, pick sorghum; in the White Dew, pick valley; in the Frost Descent, pick radishes." At this time of year, radishes that have been frosted are the most delicious, and the radishes in October are also known as small ginseng. There is a folk proverb that goes, "Eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, and you won't need a doctor to prescribe medicine." This saying not only explains that radish is a seasonal vegetable in winter, but also reveals its therapeutic effects. In cold and dry weather, eating radish can not only replenish water for the human body, but also promote appetite and aid digestion. It can improve diseases such as stomach bloating, cough with sputum, chest tightness and asthma, and colds. Radish is suitable to be paired with pork, beef and mutton. The combination of mutton and radish can remove the mutton smell; adding some radish when eating ribs can help relieve the greasiness. In addition, they can complement each other in nutrition and taste. When radish is combined with high-protein meat, it becomes a complete protein, which is not only beneficial for the human body's absorption, but the radish also tastes better because it absorbs the flavor of the meat, and the meat becomes more fragrant because it absorbs the flavor of the radish. In addition, warm foods like mutton can easily cause people to get inflamed if they eat too much, while radish is cold in nature, and eating the two together balances them. 5. Duck meat: People in southern Fujian and Taiwan eat tonic food on the day of Frost's Descent, which is what we in the north often call "putting on weight in autumn." There is a proverb in southern Fujian that goes, "It is better to make up for it during the Frost Descent than to make up for it all year round." These small proverbs fully express the importance that the people of Fujian and Taiwan attach to the Frost Descent solar term. Therefore, every Frost Descent season, ducks in Fujian and Taiwan will sell like hot cakes, and sometimes they will be out of stock and in short supply. The duck sellers were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. Eating duck can eliminate autumn dryness. Duck and chicken are both poultry, but their effects are very different. Chicken is a particularly suitable winter tonic. There is a saying among the people that "eat a chicken on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, and you will have good health in the coming year." Duck is a waterfowl. Hu Sihui, the imperial physician of the Yuan Dynasty, said in "Yinshan Zhengyao" that duck meat is sweet, cold, non-toxic, and can replenish internal deficiency, disinfect heat, and promote urination. It can be used for headache, insomnia due to yin deficiency, cough due to lung heat, edema due to nephritis, difficulty urinating, low fever, etc. Regular consumption of duck meat is most beneficial for people with weak yin deficiency, edema, poor appetite, dry stools and low fever. Therefore, the hot summer and autumn seasons are best for eating duck. In comparison, other meats such as pork, beef, and mutton are slightly inferior. |
