When is the rain solar term, what to eat in the rain solar term, and the custom of the rain solar term.

Rainwater solar terms are in February 18 or 19 or 20 every year. Eat more jujube, spinach, water chestnut, sugar cane, chrysanthemum, yam and so on. The customs of the Rain Festival include going back to one's parents' home, pulling michel platini, and celebrating the birthday.

In the rainy solar terms, the humid atmosphere gradually rises, and dew and frost appear in the morning. Therefore, in view of such climate characteristics, diet recuperation should be based on conditioning the spleen and stomach, expelling wind and removing dampness. Spleen and stomach can digest grains and are the source of qi and blood. Among the five elements, the liver belongs to wood and tastes sour; Spleen belongs to soil and tastes sweet.

In spring, the liver is strong and the spleen is weak, so the diet should be less sour and more sweet. You can eat more dates, spinach, water chestnut, sugar cane, chrysanthemum, yam and so on. Windy and dry weather will make you thirsty. You should eat fruits and vegetables and soup porridge, such as wolfberry porridge, jujube porridge and tremella porridge. White chrysanthemum, cassia seed and American ginseng can also be used to tonify the spleen and stomach. After the rain, the spring breeze warms up, and pathogenic bacteria and viruses are easy to spread with the wind, so infectious diseases are often prone to influenza outbreaks in spring.
