The Beginning of Winter is the beginning of winter. The crops at this time have been almost harvested, and most farmers are idle. So, what activities do these idle people do during the Beginning of Winter? Let’s take a look together with the editor. Autumn is a season of harvest, with the fragrance of flowers and fruits everywhere. Every day should be happy in such a good season. Come to the Fortune Teller website to learn about the ninth month of the lunar calendar in 2018.What activities are there during the Beginning of Winter?1. Eat mutton . Mutton is sweet and very hot. It belongs to the fire element. It can replenish the essence and assist yang, treat physical weakness, keep out the cold and replenish qi, calm the mind and stop panic. It has a strong nutritional effect. Moreover, in winter, mutton is also in season. According to "A Brief Account of Scenery in the Imperial Capital", during the Ming Dynasty, sheep began to be sold on the market in Beijing in the tenth month of the lunar calendar. 2. Eating dumplings During the Beginning of Winter, there are few fresh loquats in the market, and most of the loquats people eat are bought in the summer. People put the fresh loofah they buy in the hut or on the windowsill. After a long period of saccharification, they use it as dumpling filling. The taste is different from that of fresh loofah and cabbage. It tastes even better when mixed with vinegar and garlic. 3. The temperature will rise after the Frost Descent as the weather is very cold, so the furnaces are usually turned on in early October of the lunar calendar. "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji" records: "Mt. Lu's White Deer Cave is a place where many scholars gather. Every winter, they collect gold and buy black firewood to keep warm, and this is called the Black Gold Society. On the first day of October, they order wine to celebrate the stove-warming party." In Beijing, people usually warm the kang on the first day of October and set up a stove-warming party. This is called the Stove-Opening Festival, and the stoves are not removed until the first day of February of the following year. 4. Picking mulberry leaves. Mulberry leaves are bitter, sweet and cold in nature. They can dispel wind and heat, cool blood and improve eyesight. Old and well-trained ones are better because of their strong energy and strength. It is already winter, and with the chilly autumn air, mulberry leaves can help relieve the heat in the liver and gallbladder. 5. Winter swimming: On the day of the beginning of winter in Harbin, Heilongjiang, Shangqiu, Henan, Yichun, Jiangxi, Wuhan, Hubei and other places, winter swimming enthusiasts have used winter swimming as a way to welcome the arrival of winter. Winter swimming is a popular way of exercising in winter, whether in the north or the south. 6. Winter school: The nights are the longest in winter, and it is also the off-season for farming. This season is the best time to hold "winter school". This winter school is mainly aimed at providing literacy to some illiterate people or cultivating talents with professional skills. |
