Weight loss is called "bitter summer". At that time, people often judged health only based on fatness or thinness. Of course you need to "replenish" if you are thin, and the way to do it is to "put on weight in autumn" by eating delicious food with strong flavors. Of course, meat is the first choice, "putting on weight with meat".In the past, people had many concerns about the solar terms, most of which were related to diet and disease prevention, which was closely related to people's concern about their own health.
