What should we pay attention to in health preservation during Jingzhe?

Jingzhe is the third solar term in the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar, marking the beginning of mid-spring. It is said in "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes in the Lunar Calendar": "In the second month...all things come out of the thunder, and thunder means lightning, so it is called the Waking of Insects, which means the hibernating insects are startled and run away." At this time, the weather turns warmer, and various insects hibernating in the soil will be awakened, and most parts of my country begin to enter the spring farming season. At the same time, since this period coincides with the transition between winter and spring, with sudden changes in temperature from warm to cold, it is also a season when diseases are more prevalent.
Almost every festive occasion in our country has its own unique customs. During the Jingzhe period, if you observe carefully, you may find such a scene around you: several women holding slippers in their hands, slapping the talisman paper hard, muttering: "I'll beat you to death!" What's going on? It turns out that Jingzhe symbolizes the beginning of February. A loud thunderclap will awaken many snakes, ants and reptiles, which often sneak into the house to make trouble. In ancient times, people would hold incense, wormwood and other things in their hands, and burn incense in every room to drive them away. "Qian Jin Yue Ling" said: "On the day of Jingzhe, take lime powder and sprinkle it outside the door threshold to kill insects and ants." This means that lime has insecticidal effects. If you sprinkle it outside the door threshold during Jingzhe, insects and ants will not dare to come to the door for a year, which can be regarded as a warning to pests. Over time, the interesting scene of "beating villains" during Jingzhe evolved.
In addition to "beating villains", there is also the custom of "eating pears during the Waking of Insects" in many places in our country. It is now impossible to trace when this custom originated, but the climate is relatively dry during the Jingzhe period, which can easily cause people to have dry mouth and cough. Raw pears are cold in nature and sweet in taste, and have the effects of moistening the lungs and relieving coughs, nourishing yin and clearing heat. Therefore, it is very necessary to eat pears to benefit the spleen, bring harmony to the five internal organs, and strengthen the body to resist the invasion of bacteria. There is a saying in the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" that "When positive energy exists within, evil energy cannot invade", which means that when the body's positive energy is strong, evil energy cannot easily invade the body and no disease will occur.
In fact, it is not just pears. Any food that can produce fluid and moisten the lungs should be added to your daily diet at this time, such as white fungus, spring bamboo shoots, etc. In addition, there is heavy fog in the mornings during the Jingzhe season, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, which can easily lead to respiratory diseases. You should keep warm and strengthen the prevention of colds and flu. People who like to get up early for morning exercises are best to wait until the sun rises and the fog dissipates before going out. Exercise should be moderate, and special attention should be paid to not increasing the intensity of exercise all at once after a winter of "rest and recuperation", otherwise it may be counterproductive. In terms of health preservation, we should develop the habit of going to bed early and getting up early. Soaking your feet before going to bed is a good choice. It can not only promote blood circulation, but also improve sleep quality and effectively avoid the occurrence of "spring sleepiness".
Here I would like to remind the girls who love beauty that although the weather has become warmer in early spring, the temperature changes are still relatively large. Although skirts are charming, they are not good for the body. If you are not careful, you will experience cold and numb limbs, difficulty walking and other discomforts due to the invasion of cold wind. The knee joint has less fat under the skin and is more sensitive to cold air. After catching a cold, you are more likely to develop local numbness, soreness and other symptoms, which can induce arthritis over time. Therefore, from the perspective of physical health, the first priority when dressing during the Jingzhe season is to keep warm, with the main focus being on "covering up".
"The wine of Xinghua Village has been sent thousands of miles away, and the good fruits are in front of us, so don't ask about their reputation. The thunder has not yet been heard in the Waking of Insects, and the hope for a good harvest depends on the spring plowing." Finally, let us end with this poem by Wu Outing, wishing the coming spring plowing to be smooth and stable, and a good harvest in the new year!
