What can’t you eat during Jingzhe?

Do not eat sour food during the Jingzhe period
In traditional Chinese medicine, acidic foods are mostly used to treat symptoms such as spontaneous sweating and diarrhea, such as Cornus officinalis, which astringes the essence and stops sweating, and Gallnut, which astringes the intestines and stops diarrhea. But at the same time, acidity also has astringent and firming properties. Eating too much acidic food and medicine will hinder the flow of qi in the human body and is not conducive to the growth of yang energy. Therefore, be careful when eating acidic foods and medicines to avoid disrupting the circulation of qi and blood.
Do not eat raw or cold food during the Jingzhe period
During the Jingzhe period, Yang energy begins to move, but the whole body's Yang energy is not yet abundant. Cold medicines and foods can easily damage the body's tender Yang energy, or in other words, damage the body's Shaoyang Fire (physiological fire), which is not conducive to the release and smooth flow of Qi in the body. It is not advisable to consume too much cold drinks, cold fruits, raw and cold seafood, etc.

What should we eat on the day of Jingzhe?

Eat pears on the day of Jingzhe
There is a custom of eating pears during the Waking of Insects. During the Jingzhe solar term, the weather is warm but cold, and the climate is relatively dry, which can easily make people feel dry mouth and uncomfortable. Therefore, there is a folk custom of eating pears during the Waking of Insects.
Eat eggs on the day of Jingzhe
There is a folk saying that people eat eggs on Jingzhe day. It is said that this is because people have to sacrifice to the white tiger on this day. The white tiger usually has fangs and an open mouth. It will not hurt people unless it is fed with eggs. After evolution, the eggs that were originally fed to white tigers have now become fed to people themselves.

What is Jingzhe?

Jingzhe is the beginning of the Mao month in the Ganzhi calendar. Mao is the month of mid-spring. The hexagram is in the Zhen position, and all things emerge from Zhen, which is a sign of birth. There are twelve months in a year, and each month corresponds to a hexagram. The month of Mao (including the two solar terms of Jingzhe and Spring Equinox) corresponds to the hexagram of Thunder and Sky Da Zhuang. The image of the Da Zhuang hexagram is thunder in the sky, and the thunder sounds in the sky, which is very vivid. "Mao" means to emerge, and all things emerge from the ground, representing vitality; so Mao month (February) is also the month when the energy of all things bursts out, and the spring ploughing of the year begins from then on.
