Introduction: The Spring Equinox is one of the 24 solar terms in my country. On this day, the day and night are equal. The Spring Equinox is also the solar term representing spring, revealing the breath of spring. Each solar term has its own climatic characteristics and some traditional customs and taboos. So, what are the traditional taboos that we should pay attention to during the Spring Equinox? Let’s take a look at it together below! The second month of the lunar calendar tells the stories of every day in February, bringing you the do's and don'ts of every day in February, as well as the directions of the God of Wealth and the God of Happiness, etc., making you full of expectations.What are the taboos during the Spring Equinox?In Ya'an and Mingshan in Sichuan, farmers and their families have to rest on the Spring Equinox. They are not allowed to engage in any production activities, such as digging the ground, moving needles, or sweeping the floor. People in Shandong area often plant trees on the Spring Equinox, so they avoid sunny days on the Spring Equinox. It is believed that if the weather is sunny on the Spring Equinox, nothing will grow. The She people avoid carrying manure, washing clothes in the river, or hanging them out to dry on the Spring Equinox.What are the taboos of the Spring Equinox?1. 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 dietary taboos to pay attention to during the Spring Equinox?During the Spring Equinox, the human body's blood is in its prime and hormone levels are at a relatively peak. Non-infectious diseases that are prone to occur at this time include high blood pressure, menstrual disorders, hemorrhoids, and allergic diseases. The general principle of diet is to avoid extremely hot or cold food and maintain a balance between hot and cold. It is also not suitable to drink greasy soups during this period.Summary: The above article is an analysis of some taboos and dietary taboos that need to be paid attention to during the Spring Equinox.
