In the history of the Chinese nation, many traditional festivals have been preserved to this day, and the Zhongyuan Festival is one of them. As one of the three major ghost festivals, the Zhongyuan Festival naturally has many things to pay attention to. So how can we maintain our health during the 2017 Ghost Festival? What are the customs of burning incense on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month? Let’s take a look with the editor. When is the Zhongyuan Festival? The Zhongyuan Festival is on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month every year. It is a grand traditional festival during which activities such as ancestor worship and praying for blessings and peace will be held. Mr. Shuimo has carefully planned relevant content for the Zhongyuan Festival special topic, welcome to read.How to maintain health during the 2017 Ghost Festival?Avoid dampness during the Zhongyuan Festival. The lazier you are, the more you need to exercise. <br /> People with heavy dampness in their bodies are mostly those who eat greasy food and lack exercise. But the less you like to exercise, the more moisture will accumulate in your body. Over time, this will inevitably cause the moisture to attack the spleen and cause a series of diseases. Exercise can relieve stress. Running, walking, swimming, yoga, Tai Chi and other exercises can help activate blood circulation and increase water metabolism.Avoid environmental moisture <br /> The generation of moisture in the human body is largely related to the environment, in addition to problems with the body's metabolism. If you often stay in a humid, cold environment, it is easy for moisture to invade the body. Before and after the Ghost Festival, people should pay attention to the following matters in their daily lives: 1. Don’t sleep directly on the floor. The floor is very damp and can easily invade the body, causing pain in the limbs. 2. Reduce going out on wet and rainy days. 3. Do not wear damp clothes, do not cover yourself with a damp blanket, and dry your body thoroughly and blow dry your hair after taking a shower. 4. If the humidity in the room is very high, it is recommended to open the windows more often for ventilation. If the humidity outside is also very high, you can also turn on fans and air conditioners to use these appliances to maintain air convection. Drink ginger soup in moderation <br /> Ginger is not only a common seasoning at home, but also has irreplaceable medicinal value. The period around the Ghost Festival is summer, and people can try to cook a bowl of hot and spicy ginger soup at home. The wonderful effect of ginger soup can disperse the moisture in the body. After sweating all over the body, the symptoms will be relieved. This method is also suitable for preventing colds after being caught in the rain. What are the customs of burning incense on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month?Nowadays, the colors of incense on the market are generally only red, yellow and green. These three types of incense can not be used for burning incense at all. There are obvious differences between them. Therefore, before burning incense every time, you must first consider what color of incense to burn. Only by not burning the wrong incense can you obtain the best blessings.Red represents joy and is generally used in weddings, festivals and celebrations. Yellow represents respect and is generally used for celebrating birthdays, inviting gods, worshipping Buddha, and relieving disasters, which is the most reasonable color. The color green represents darkness and is usually used for things like capturing ghosts, sending flower trays, opening spirits, and performing vegetarian rituals. The Chinese say that "everything is excessive or insufficient". No matter what it is, the more the better. There is also a limit to the number of incense sticks you burn. Generally, it is better to burn one stick of incense (three incense sticks). One stick is called Kaitai incense, which represents a happy family, loving father and filial son, good fortune and luck, and health and longevity. Three pillars (nine branches) are the incense of progress, which brings harmony among relatives, stability among neighbors, fame and fortune, and good health and longevity. The nine pillars (also known as the nine grades, with incense sticks inserted horizontally in a row of three in a square shape) are the rotating incense, which can reach in all directions, transfer and ascend to higher positions, when all things cease to exist, and the four elements are empty. This incense cannot be burned under normal circumstances and is used exclusively on the first day of the first lunar month to get rid of the old and welcome the new. |
