Folk activities and traditional food of mango solar terms.

Awn seeds mean that crops with awns like wheat are ripe. Mango is the ninth of the 24 solar terms. On June 5th, every year, when the sun reaches 75 degrees, it is a kind of awn. The following are the folk activities and traditional foods I have arranged for you. I hope it helps you.

Mangzhong folk activities

1, boiled plums

In the south, May and June are the season when plums ripen, and there is an allusion of "Plum Boils Wine as a Hero" in the Three Kingdoms. Plum contains a variety of natural high-quality organic acids and rich minerals, and has unique nutritional and health-care functions such as purifying blood, regulating intestines, reducing blood fat, relieving fatigue, caring skin, regulating acid-base balance and enhancing human immunity. However, most fresh plums are sour and difficult to eat directly, and they need to be processed before they can be eaten. This process is to boil plums.

2. An Miao

Anmiao is a kind of farming folk activity in southern Anhui, which began in the early Ming Dynasty. Every season when rice seeds cover the sun, in order to pray for a good harvest in autumn, all localities should hold an Anmiao sacrifice. Every household steamed bags with new wheat flour, kneaded the flour into the shape of five grains, six animals, fruits and vegetables, and then dyed it with vegetable juice as a sacrifice, praying for the bumper harvest of five grains and the safety of the villagers.

Step 3 send flowers to god

On the second day of the second lunar month, the flower festival welcomes the flower god. It's nearly May, and the flowers are beginning to fade. People often hold a ceremony of offering sacrifices to the flower god on Ear Seed Day to send the flower god back to his place, and at the same time express gratitude to the flower god, hoping to meet again next year. This custom no longer exists in traditional culture, but it is mentioned in A Dream of Red Mansions by the famous novelist Cao Xueqin.

Step 4 fight in mud

Young Dong men and women in southeastern Guizhou hold a mud festival every year before and after planting hemp. On the same day, the newlyweds, accompanied by good young men and women, collectively planted rice seedlings, playing with each other while planting rice seedlings and throwing mud at each other. After the activity, check the results. The person with the most mud is the most popular person.

5, common hanging wormwood

Wormwood has the function of repelling mosquitoes. When the weather is hot in May, the bacteria grow badly, so it's time for wormwood to go out. People will cut wormwood from the ground and leave it at the door. Others will dry the wormwood, then light it, and walk around the house for a week, and the mosquitoes will be driven away.

Traditional food of mango solar terms

1. Food

People pay attention to "eat less meat and eat more" in the awning season. They can eat more rice cooked with japonica rice or rice cooked with miscellaneous grains, such as black rice, black rice and Redmi. These rice are very nutritious and full, so you won't feel hungry after eating them.

2. Barley porridge

Rain gradually increases in the awning season, and there will be more and more bad weather, so the smog and humidity in the air are heavier. Therefore, you can buy some barley porridge in the awning season, add some red beans, poria cocos, etc., which is not only delicious, but also has the effect of removing moisture, and it is best to eat in the awning season.

3. carp soup

You can drink crucian carp soup in the awning season. Carp soup is as delicious as most fish soups. Carp soup has the function of diuresis, detumescence and dampness removal. The moisture in the air is relatively large, and the rain is also increasing, so it is easy for the human body to get heavy moisture. Therefore, drinking crucian carp soup can play a good role in eliminating dampness and swelling.

water caltrop

Water chestnut can be eaten as both a vegetable and a fruit. It is very good food, and it is also recommended to eat it in the awning season. You can wash the raw water chestnut directly, peel it and eat it, which is crisp and juicy. You can also wash the water chestnut and cook it. Not only the boiled water chestnut tastes soft and sweet, but also it can be drunk, which has the function of clearing away heat and toxic materials. You can also cook with water chestnut, which is also delicious. Therefore, in the solar term, everyone can buy some water chestnuts, eat them raw or cooked.

Prevention of mango diseases

Anti-air conditioning

The weather is hot in the solar term. Many people often turn on the air conditioning temperature very low because they are eager to be cool. If they are not careful, they will catch a cold and have a runny nose and suffer from "air conditioning disease".

Be sure to clean the air conditioning filter before use, and pay attention to adjust the indoor and outdoor temperature difference, which generally does not exceed 8- 10 degrees Celsius. Children, the elderly and patients should pay more attention to the rational and scientific use of room air conditioning.

To prevent heart disease.

In the solar term, the temperature is higher and the humidity is higher, and the heart load is gradually aggravated. Patients with heart disease and coronary heart disease should pay attention to maintenance, stay up late less, avoid overwork, and live in a rhythm.

You can take some medicines and foods to maintain your heart, such as 5 grams of Ophiopogon japonicus, 5 grams of longan pulp soaked in water, 3 grams of American ginseng for those with qi deficiency and fatigue, or longan jujube millet crystal sugar porridge, or Ophiopogon japonicus longan pulp wolfberry chrysanthemum tea.

Prevention of gynecological diseases

Women are easy to take down and turn yellow, so they should eat less spicy food, eat more products that clear away heat and promote diuresis, such as mung beans, and often eat products that strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis, such as coix seed, yam, white lentils and japonica rice porridge.

Prevention of facial paralysis

If you use a fan and air conditioner at night, let the wind blow directly at yourself for a long time, or the air conditioner temperature is too low, it will cause the microcirculation of the human body surface to be disturbed by cold stimulation, and the blood vessels of the local nutrient nerves will spasm, which will lead to facial neuritis, that is, facial paralysis.

The treatment of facial paralysis is as short as a week and as long as half a year, which not only affects work and life, but also makes people embarrassed with crooked mouth and eyes. If such symptoms appear, you should seek medical advice quickly to avoid sequelae.

Tongue and mouth are prone to sores.

Chinese medicine believes that the heart and small intestine grow from the outside to the inside, and the seeds begin to grow, and the damp heat is heavier. If damp-heat accumulates, heart fire is heavy, and small intestine accumulates heat, the urine is yellow and short, the tongue is red and yellow, constipation and aphtha. You should eat less spicy food, such as white wine and mutton.

Eat more cucumbers, vegetables and mung beans. You can use 3 grams of bamboo leaves, 5 grams of Ophiopogon japonicus and 3 grams of honeysuckle to soak in water. Constipation can increase jaundice by 2 grams. If you have frequent urination or painful urination, you should see a doctor.

Easy to get heatstroke

Speaking of hot weather, the most common disease is heatstroke. Ordinary people should pay attention to avoid the scorching sun, don't wait for thirst before drinking water, eat more fruits and vegetables, keep enough sleep, and beware of emotional heatstroke.

Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetics, people with weak constitution at ordinary times, people with cervical vertebra problems and insufficient blood supply to the brain should avoid going to the environment that is easy to cause heatstroke.

If the symptoms of heatstroke are not very serious, you should rest in the shade immediately. At the same time, replenish water and drink slowly in small sips to avoid increasing the burden on the heart.

Unbutton a collar button, tie, belt, etc. , and keep the body ventilated. If possible, you can wipe your hands, feet, arms and legs with a warm towel to help your body dissipate heat.

After a period of rest, if the symptoms are not relieved, you should seek medical advice in time. If anyone is found unconscious due to heatstroke, in addition to the above treatment, you should call 120 immediately. People suffering from heatstroke, in particular, must go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
