What are the customs of Frost Descent?1. Eating 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.Although persimmons are delicious, be careful not to eat them on an empty stomach; eat them in moderation, and it is best not to exceed 100 grams each time; do not eat unripe persimmons; people with poor stomach function such as diabetes, chronic gastritis, delayed emptying, and indigestion should not eat persimmons. 2. Climbing During the Frost Descent season, there is a custom of climbing high places and looking far into the distance. Climbing high can not only relax the function of the lungs, but also allow you to look far into the distance, which can relax your mind and soothe your mood. The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the maple leaves are dyed red. It is pleasing to the eye to climb up and look out into the distance, but there are also some precautions. Avoid climbing in the morning and evening when the temperature is lower. When climbing, you must be calm and walk slowly to prevent sprains of the waist and legs; when going down the mountain, do not walk too fast to avoid knee injuries or muscle strains. When climbing, you should adapt to temperature changes by adding or removing clothes; when resting, do not sit on damp ground or in drafty areas; when sweating, you can loosen the buttons of your clothes slightly, but do not take off your clothes or hat to prevent catching a cold. 3. There is an old saying about appreciating chrysanthemums : "Chrysanthemums bloom when frost hits them", so climbing mountains to appreciate chrysanthemums has become an elegant activity during the Frost Descent season. It is recorded in "Continued Records of the Strange Things of Qi" by Wu Jun of the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties. “When frost falls, only this grass grows luxuriantly.” Therefore, chrysanthemum was regarded as “the grass of the season” by the ancients and became a symbol of vitality. The Frost Descent season is when the autumn chrysanthemums are in full bloom. Many places in my country hold chrysanthemum parties at this time, where people appreciate the chrysanthemums and drink wine to show their respect and love for chrysanthemums. 4. Pulling radishes In Shandong area, there is a folk proverb: "Pulling sorghum during the Beginning of Heat, eating valley during the White Dew, and pulling radishes during the Frost Descent", so Shandong people like to eat radishes during the Frost Descent. There is an agricultural proverb that says "Frost radish", which means that after the frost, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. If the open-field radishes are not harvested in time, the skin will be frozen, affecting the quality and yield of the radishes. White radish is a low-priced plant-based food with high nutritional value. There is a folk saying since ancient times: "Eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, and you don't need a doctor's prescription." In modern times, some people also call radish "wild ginseng." White radish can also increase appetite, aid digestion, relieve cough and phlegm, eliminate dryness and promote salivation. In addition, white radish also has anti-viral and anti-cancer effects. 5. Duck is delicious, and 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. It seemed that they would definitely have a happy Frost Descent Festival. Duck is a top-notch delicacy on the table and an excellent tonic for people. Especially when the new ducks are raised in autumn, their meat is tender, plump and nutritious, and can replenish the human body with essential proteins, vitamins and minerals in time. At the same time, duck meat is cold in nature, which is especially suitable for people with body heat and internal heat, so eating duck is the first choice for moisturizing dryness in autumn. 6. Eating beef: In many places, 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 is a food that is loved by people all over the world. It is one of the meat foods consumed by Chinese people, second only to pork. Beef has a high protein content and a low fat content, so it tastes delicious and is loved by people, enjoying the reputation of "the pride of meat". |
