Avoid extreme heat or cold. The vernal equinox belongs to the middle of spring. At this time, the liver qi is strong and the kidney qi is weak. Therefore, in terms of diet, you should avoid sour and increase spicy food to help the kidney and nourish the liver. At the same time, you should pay attention to strengthening the spleen and stomach and removing dampness. The general principle is to avoid extreme heat or cold and strive for neutrality. You can choose a diet that can maintain coordinated and balanced body functions according to your actual situation. For example, when cooking cold foods such as fish, shrimp, and crab, they should be accompanied by warm seasonings such as onion, ginger, wine, and vinegar to prevent these dishes from being cold in nature and damaging the spleen and stomach, causing abdominal discomfort after eating. When eating yang-enhancing dishes such as leeks, garlic, and papaya, they should be paired with yin-nourishing foods such as eggs to achieve the purpose of yin and yang complementarity. Braised eel, Eucommia kidney, eggplant with garlic, etc. have the effects of replenishing deficiency, lowering blood pressure, cooling blood and stopping bleeding; spring bamboo shoots are sweet and cold in nature, and have the effects of nourishing yin and blood, resolving phlegm, digesting food, relieving restlessness and diuresis, and are all suitable foods for the Spring Equinox. Extreme heat or extreme cold are the most important taboos to avoid during the Spring Equinox. 2. Avoid extreme joy or sorrow. Spring is not only the season when all things come back to life, but also the time when mental illnesses are prevalent. Therefore, you should avoid extreme joy or sorrow during the Spring Equinox, otherwise it will be detrimental to the release of liver qi. You can take advantage of the bright spring weather to do more outdoor activities or go on an outing with friends to maintain a balance between body and mind. In addition, in spring, you should follow the natural law of the rising yang energy to make the liver qi flow smoothly, while ensuring the quality of sleep to lay the foundation for a year of health. 3. Eat on time and exercise appropriately. Due to the alternating cold and warm weather during the Spring Equinox, people are prone to high blood pressure, menstrual disorders, allergic diseases, etc. Pay special attention to regular sleep and regular meals to achieve the complementarity of yin and yang. You can gradually start morning exercises, such as walking, jogging, and Tai Chi. Although the weather becomes warmer after the Spring Equinox, the temperature difference between day and night is large. According to the principle of "not too cold, not too hot", you should add clothes in the morning and evening and get more sun exposure on weekdays. What are the taboos during Qingming Festival? 1. During the Qingming Festival, family members and relatives usually go together to visit the graves. They must be harmonious. This has two advantages. First, due to the distance between relatives and work reasons, they seldom see each other several times a year. It is a good opportunity to use this time period to get together, enhance feelings and get closer. Secondly, our deceased relatives who are buried in the ground would be very pleased to see their descendants come to visit their graves in a lively and harmonious manner. This will be more conducive to the prosperity of the family and also more beneficial to the luck of the people in our family. 2. When sweeping the tombs, you should wear solemn clothes and accessories, preferably dark colors. A family should try their best to help the elderly and children, show more respect to the older people, explain to the children how to be filial and respectful to the elderly, and the adults should try their best to teach by words and deeds. In fact, sweeping the tombs on Qingming Festival is the best time to remember the ancestors and educate the future generations. As descendants of the dragon of our Chinese nation, don't miss this great opportunity. 3. People who are not suitable for tomb sweeping Generally speaking, elderly people with limited mobility, people with serious illnesses, pregnant women and children under three years old are not suitable for visiting cemeteries. This is mainly because cemeteries are often on the mountains, and people with poor health are not able to move around. In addition, during the Qingming Festival, the yang energy is often insufficient, and pregnant women and children are more susceptible to the evil energy in the cemetery. Therefore, for these reasons, it is generally not recommended for the above groups of people to go to worship. 4. The general procedure for tomb sweeping during Qingming Festival is to clean and tidy up the tomb first when arriving at the cemetery. First, clear the weeds on the grave, then add soil to make the grave clean. If there is a tombstone, you can wash it with clean water, clear the surrounding weeds, and clean the cemetery. The cemetery is the house of our deceased ancestors. In fact, we, the descendants, repair the house for our ancestors, clean it up, and let our ancestors rest here cleanly and without worries. |
