What are the customs and practices of Cold Dew in 2018? How to keep healthy during Cold Dew?
Cold Dew is the seventeenth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar and the fifth solar term in autumn. So what are the customs of the Cold Dew solar term? How to maintain health during the Cold Dew solar term? Let’s follow the editor to learn more about it. The eighth month of the lunar calendar is also known as Guiyue, Zhuangyue, Zhongqiu, Nangong and Zhongshang. Let’s learn with Mr. Shuimo what we need to pay attention to in this beautiful eighth month of the lunar calendar in 2018.Customs of Cold Dew solar term:1. Eating flower cakes: The Cold Dew solar term is usually close to the Double Ninth Festival in time, so there is a custom of eating flower cakes after climbing the mountain on the ninth day of the ninth month. Because "高" and "糕" are homophones, the cakes for this festival are called "重阳花糕", which means "progress step by step". The main types of flower cakes include "brown flower cake", "fine flower cake" and "money flower cake". Stick some coriander leaves on it as a mark, and put dried fruits such as green fruits, small dates, and walnut kernels in the middle.2. Viewing the red leaves During the Cold Dew season, Beijing residents have the custom of going to Xiangshan to view the red leaves. The continuous drop in temperature after the Cold Dew Festival has turned the maple leaves in Beijing red. The forests of Xiangshan Mountain in the golden autumn are all dyed with red leaves, which are as beautiful as rosy clouds and as poetic as a painting. my country has a vast territory and covers a wide range of latitudes, and the time when red leaves appear in different parts of the vast land is different. The best place to view red leaves during the Cold Dew season is in the northern region, especially north of the Yellow River. 3. Climbing: Since the Double Ninth Festival is around the Cold Dew solar term, the pleasant climate of the Cold Dew solar term is very suitable for climbing mountains. Gradually, the custom of climbing mountains on the Double Ninth Festival has also become a custom of the Cold Dew solar term. The custom of climbing mountains during the Cold Dew Festival is more popular in Beijing. Jingshan Park, Badachu, Xiangshan and other places are all good places for climbing. The Double Ninth Festival for climbing mountains will attract even more tourists. 4. Cricket fighting: White Dew, Autumnal Equinox and Cold Dew are the peak periods for cricket fighting among old Beijingers. Crickets are also called "crickets". Generally speaking, hearing crickets chirping means autumn has arrived and the weather is getting cooler, reminding people to prepare clothes for winter. Hence the saying "When crickets chirp, lazy women are startled." 5. Autumn Fishing in southern China, during the Cold Dew solar term, the heat has subsided and the sun is warm. It is a good time to travel, and people go out to enjoy flowers, eat crabs or go fishing. During the Cold Dew season, the temperature drops rapidly and the sun can no longer penetrate deep waters, so fish swim to shallow waters where the water temperature is higher. That’s why there is a saying “fishing on the shore in autumn”. 6. Drink chrysanthemum wine During the Cold Dew solar term, chrysanthemums are in full bloom. In order to get rid of autumn dryness, some areas have the custom of drinking "chrysanthemum wine". Chrysanthemum wine is made from chrysanthemum, glutinous rice and koji. It tastes cool and sweet, and has the effects of nourishing the liver, improving eyesight, strengthening the brain, and delaying aging. Cold Dew health care methods:1. Don't expose your feet during the Cold Dew . As the saying goes, "Don't expose your feet during the Cold Dew." After the Cold Dew, the temperature gradually drops, so don't often go shirtless to prevent the cold air from invading your body. At the same time, you can basically put away your summer sandals to prevent "cold from the feet."You can develop the habit of soaking your feet in hot water every night. This can dilate the blood vessels in the feet, accelerate blood flow, improve the nutrition of the foot skin and tissues, reduce lower limb pain, and relieve fatigue. 2. Drink salt in the morning and honey in the evening. Cold Dew is the beginning of the autumn season with alternating hot and cold weather. In autumn, autumn dryness is a troublesome thing. Health experts suggest that the best dietary remedy for dealing with autumn dryness is: "Salt water in the morning, honey soup at night". Many people will find that their skin is getting drier in autumn, and they think that they can replenish moisture by drinking more water. In fact, drinking only boiled water will cause you to lose water easily. However, if you add a little salt to boiled water, the situation will be very different. This method is the same as supplementing with saline solution. 3. Living time should be adjusted accordingly. In addition, when it is cool in autumn, everyone’s living time should also be adjusted accordingly. In my many years of clinical diagnosis and treatment, I have found that the number of patients suffering from cerebral thrombosis increases when the weather gets colder. The reason is related to the colder weather and the increased sleep time of people. When people sleep, the blood flow slows down, which makes it easy to form blood clots. "Suwen Four Qi Regulating the Spirit" clearly points out: "In the third month of autumn, go to bed early and get up early, and get up with the cock." Going to bed early is suitable for the preservation of Yin essence, and getting up early is suitable for the relaxation of Yang energy. To avoid the formation of blood clots, it is recommended that we adapt to the solar terms, take care of ourselves at different times, and ensure health. |
