What is the origin of the Cold Dew solar term and what should we pay attention to during the Cold Dew solar term?
In the mid-autumn weather, the golden wind is rustling and the jade dew is falling. After the National Day, we usher in the Cold Dew solar term. So what is the origin of Cold Dew? What is Cold Dew? Let’s take a look together! Want to know more about the dates in the eighth month of the lunar calendar in 2018? Please pay attention to our Mr. Shui Mo’s special topic on the eighth month of the lunar calendar!Origin of Cold Dew solar term:Cold Dew is the 17th solar term among the 24 solar terms, and it falls between October 8th and 9th in the Gregorian calendar every year. It is the end of the You month and the beginning of the Xu month in the Ganzhi calendar. Historical records state that "the cold dew is when the dipper points to the cold armor. At this time, the dew is cold and about to condense, so it is called cold dew." "The dew is cold and about to condense."In ancient my country, Cold Dew was divided into three phases: 1. Wild geese are coming. Among the geese, those that arrive first in mid-autumn are the masters, and those that arrive later in late autumn are the guests. "Tongshu" writes it as Laibin. Bin means the edge of the water, and is also connected. 2. A sparrow that enters the water turns into a clam. Sparrow is a small bird. There are different types of birds. This one is a yellow sparrow. The big water is the sea. "Guoyu" says: A bird that enters the sea becomes a clam. Because the cold wind is severe, most of the wind goes into the sea. It changes into a clam, which means that the flying creature turns into a submerged creature. Clam is a small clam of the mussel family. 3. Chrysanthemum has yellow flowers. All plants bloom in the sun, except chrysanthemum, which blooms in the shade. Therefore, when we talk about the flowers of peach and tung trees, we don’t mention their color, but when we talk about the flowers of chrysanthemum, we mention its color, because its color corresponds to the time when the earth is at its peak in autumn. "Tongwei·Xiaojing Yuanshenqi" records: "Fifteen days after the autumnal equinox, the Big Dipper points to Xin, which is the Cold Dew. It means that the dew is cold and about to condense." At this time, the temperature is lower than that of the White Dew, and there is more dew. The originally white and crystal dew on the ground is about to condense into frost, and it is cold, so it is called Cold Dew. What should we pay attention to during the Cold Dew solar term?1. Regulate your diet: The basic principle of autumn diet is to nourish yin and moisten the lungs. For the elderly with weak stomachs, they can eat porridge in the morning to nourish the stomach and produce fluid, such as lily and lotus seed porridge, white fungus and rock sugar glutinous rice porridge, almond and Fritillaria glutinous rice porridge, black sesame porridge, etc. In addition, you should eat more sour fruits and vegetables and less spicy foods, which is very beneficial for protecting the liver and lungs.2. Get up early and go to bed early to accommodate the storage of Yin essence, and get up early to relax Yang energy. Modern studies have shown that getting up early in the fall can reduce the chance of thrombosis; lying down for a few minutes before getting up and stretching the whole body are also important for preventing thrombosis. The incidence of this type of disease is extremely high in late autumn and early winter, and the onset time is mostly in the later stage of long sleep. This is because the blood flow in the cerebral blood vessels slows down during sleep, making blood clots more likely to form. 3. Enhance physical strength. The weather is getting colder in autumn. Do not add too many clothes at once. Let your body cool down intentionally and undergo some cold exercise. This is also an important way to enhance the body's ability to adapt to the cold winter climate. The weather is clear and cool in the golden autumn, which is a good time for exercise. In particular, we should pay attention to cold-resistant exercises, such as morning exercises, jogging, cold water baths, etc., to improve resistance to diseases. 4. Prevent diseases: The weather turns cooler in late autumn, which is the peak period for stroke and myocardial infarction, and can easily lead to sudden death. People with chronic bronchitis, emphysema and cor pulmonale are also very sensitive to climate changes, which can easily lead to relapses and worsening of the disease. Therefore, patients with this type of disease should pay special attention to be vigilant and strengthen prevention, and should have first aid and treatment medicines at home just in case. 5. Prevent autumn dryness . The climate is dry in autumn, so the moisture in the skin evaporates quickly, which can easily cause dry skin, increased wrinkles, dry and sore throat, constipation, etc. Therefore, preventing autumn dryness is an important health care principle in autumn. The indoor humidity should be maintained at a certain level, attention should be paid to replenishing the body's water, and overwork and strenuous exercise should be avoided to prevent the loss of body fluids. To prevent dry skin, you can apply various skin care creams. However, you should be careful not to apply glycerin to your chapped lips, and you should not lick your lips frequently with your tongue, otherwise it will make the dryness and chapped lips worse. 6. Be careful when eating melons and fruits. Although eating a lot of melons and fruits in summer will not cause spleen and stomach diseases, it will reduce the disease resistance of the stomach and intestines. Eating a lot of melons and fruits in autumn will inevitably help dampness to damage spleen yang. The spleen yang will be unable to transport water and dampness, and acute and chronic gastrointestinal diseases such as diarrhea, dysentery, and loose stools will occur. Therefore, you should eat less fruits and melons after the fall, especially those with weak spleen and stomach should avoid it. 7. Take tonic at the right time . As the saying goes, "Take tonic in autumn and fight the tiger in winter", but when taking tonic, you should be careful not to take tonic without illness or take tonic without distinguishing between deficiency and excess. The treatment principle of traditional Chinese medicine is to supplement the deficient. Patients who are not deficient should not use tonic medicine. Deficiency diseases can be divided into yin deficiency, yang deficiency, qi deficiency and blood deficiency. Only by taking the right medicine can you nourish the body, otherwise it will be counterproductive. Also pay attention to the right amount of supplements, avoid replacing food with medicine, and promote food supplements. Food supplements in autumn are mainly for nourishing yin and moistening dryness, such as black-bone chicken, pig lungs, turtle meat, bird's nest, white fungus, honey, sesame, walnuts, lotus root, autumn pears, etc. These foods are more effective when combined with traditional Chinese medicine. 8. Drink more soups. The air is dry in autumn, so it is more appropriate to make tonic foods into soups. Most people should use food supplements, that is, choose fresh cabbage, radish, lotus root, etc. and add fish, meat, etc. to make soup, such as peanut chicken feet soup, lotus root beef soup, spinach pork liver soup, radish pork ribs soup, etc. You can also eat cold fruits that have diuretic and antipyretic effects, such as apples, pears, citrus, water chestnuts, grapes, etc., which can supplement a large number of vitamins and trace elements. The climate is dry in autumn and people feel thirsty strongly, but it is not advisable to drink too many gas-containing beverages. You can choose to soak Pangdahai with rock sugar or white chrysanthemum with honey, and drink it frequently. It can not only replenish the body's water, but also play a health-care and therapeutic role. |
