First frost proverb: Is it time for the first frost to pull out carrots?

The first frost is the18th solar term in a year. At this time, it is at the turn of autumn and winter, the weather is colder, and the dew condenses into frost, which is the closing season of autumn harvest. In the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and its south area, it is the golden age of sowing winter wheat. Many places in the south have begun to harvest sweet potatoes, while North China is preparing to harvest Chinese cabbage. In Shandong Province, at this time, there is a saying that "the first frost has pulled out carrots", so let Lao Huangli introduce the meaning of this agricultural proverb.

In Shandong Province, there is an agricultural proverb, "Sorghum comes out of the valley in summer, and the radish is pulled out by frost first". The "first frost pulling radish" here means that the temperature difference between morning and evening is large after the first frost, and the radish in the open field will be frozen if it is not harvested in time, which will affect the quality and harvest of radish.

At the same time, there is a local saying "the first frost radish" in Shandong. In the first frost season, white radish is indispensable in the daily diet of Shandong people. White radish is a plant food with high nutritional value and low price. There has been a saying among the people that "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer without a doctor's prescription", and the radish is called "talinum".

White radish has the functions of stimulating appetite, helping digestion, relieving cough and resolving phlegm, removing dryness and promoting fluid production, and also has the auxiliary functions of antivirus and anticancer. Among white radishes, the skin is white and opaque and spicy, which can only be cooked; Those with transparent skin and sweet meat can eat it raw. Nutrition experts also suggest that people try to eat some raw radish pieces after their first visit to first frost.

The functions of eating raw white radish are as follows: first, lowering the qi and relieving abdominal distension; Second, the white radish enters the lungs, and the lungs should be autumn. White radish can strengthen the "descending" function of lung, not only can relieve cough, but also can promote the movement of large intestine, which is beneficial to human health.
