The 24 solar terms are the wisdom of the ancient working people of my country. Ancient people invented the 24 solar terms to guide people's daily labor and production activities, which still affect all aspects of people's lives. So what should we eat during the Jingzhe solar term? If you want to know more about the first month of the lunar calendar in 2018, please pay attention to our fortune teller website!What to eat during the Jingzhe season?Eat Laojiu <br /> Laojiu - Spring has arrived and people's sweat pores have opened up. In some places in the northwest, every household drinks Laojiu and eats egg pancakes with mustard juice during the Jingzhe Festival to drive away the accumulated coldness in the body. Egg pancakes with mustard are not very attractive to us, but we happen to have homemade glutinous rice wine at home, which can be made into fermented rice wine after filtering out the glutinous rice. As I drank the wine and felt warm, I couldn’t help but think of the nursery rhyme: "After the Waking of Insects, the weather is warm and the old man sings folk songs."Eating pancakes <br /> In some areas of Shandong, farmers light a stove in the courtyard and make pancakes on the day of Jingzhe, which means that the smoke and fire will kill the pests. Eat pears <br /> The weather becomes noticeably warmer during the Jingzhe period, so the diet should be light, warm and bland. Eat more fresh vegetables and protein-rich foods, such as celery, chicken, spring bamboo shoots, spinach, eggs, milk, etc., to strengthen the body and resist the invasion of germs. During the Jingzhe season, the weather is warm but cold, and the climate is relatively dry, which can easily cause people to have dry mouth and tongue and cough. Raw pears are cold in nature and sweet in taste. They have the effects of moistening the lungs and relieving coughs, nourishing yin and clearing away heat. There is a folk custom of eating pears during the Waking of Insects. There are many ways to eat pears, such as steaming, juicing, eating raw, roasting or boiling. Steamed pears with rock sugar, in particular, have a good effect on coughs and are simple and convenient to make. You may as well eat them as a dessert. In addition, patients with cough can also eat lotus seeds, loquats, monk fruit and other foods to relieve pain. The diet should be light, and greasy food is best not to eat. Irritating food such as onions, garlic, chili peppers and pepper should also be eaten less. What are the climatic characteristics of Jingzhe?In ancient my country, Jingzhe was divided into three stages: "The first stage is when peach blossoms begin to bloom; the second stage is when orioles sing; the third stage is when eagles turn into doves." This describes the season when peach blossoms turn red, plum blossoms turn white, orioles sing, and swallows fly, and most areas have entered the period of spring ploughing. When various insects hibernating in the soil are awakened, the eggs that have hibernated begin to hatch. This shows that Jingzhe is a solar term that reflects natural phenological phenomena. The thunder during the Waking of Insects is the most noticeable. For example: "If there is thunder before the Waking of Insects, the clouds will not clear for forty-nine days." The Jingzhe solar term is when the weather suddenly gets cold and warm. Proverbs that predict the later weather based on the temperature include: "Cold Jingzhe, warm Spring Equinox" etc.The wind during the Jingzhe Festival is also used as a basis for predicting the weather in the later period. For example, "If the north wind blows during the Waking of Insects, winter will start all over again" and "If the south wind blows during the Waking of Insects, the seedlings will be planted late." Modern meteorological science shows that the reason why there are occasional thunders before and after the "Qingzhe" is that the humidity on the ground gradually increases, causing the heat near the ground to rise or the hot and humid air moving northward is stronger and more active. Judging from the natural phenological processes in various parts of my country, due to the large north-south span, the time when spring thunder begins varies. On average over the years, thunder can be heard in southern Yunnan around the end of January, while the first thunder day in Beijing is in late April. The saying that "thunder begins with the Waking of Insects" only coincides with the climate patterns along the Yangtze River basin. During the Jingzhe solar term, people should pay attention to the weather station's forecast of strong cold air activities, be careful about changes in temperature, and prevent the spread of seasonal diseases such as colds. |
