China 24 solar terms related knowledge do not understand why the 24 solar terms are incomplete.

Many people don't know the meaning of Xiaoman, and they don't know the knowledge about China and the 24 solar terms. So, what does the solar term mean? Why isn't 24 solar terms full?

1. What does the solar term mean?

1, the grain bud is one of the 24 solar terms and the second solar term in summer. Xiaoman-refers to the summer crops with full seeds, but not yet mature, just small and not yet full. Every year from May 20th to 22nd, when the sun reaches 60 degrees, it is in full bloom.

2. "Twenty-four solar terms": "In mid-April, people are small and full, and things are small and full."

3. At this time, the seeds of summer sowing crops such as wheat in the north have begun to be full, but they are not yet mature, which is about the late stage of milk ripening, so it is called Xiaoman.

Agricultural proverbs in southern China give Xiaoman a new meaning: "Xiaoman is not satisfied with the broken ridge"; "Little people are full of discontent, regardless of mangoes." The word "full" is used to describe the amount of rain, and it is pointed out that if there is not enough water in the field when it is full, the ridge may crack and even rice cannot be planted when it is planted.

Second, why are the 24 solar terms not full?

1, "Little full, little full, the wheat is almost full." When the ancestors named "Xiaoman", they expressed a kind of joy that the harvest was coming soon. At this time, the wheat is changing from green to yellow. In a few days, it will be covered with a golden homesickness far away from the sky.

2. When the wheat is filled with milk, the grain begins to be full, and it will be ripe but not ripe, so it is full.

Observe the 24 solar terms carefully, and you will find that many of them are relative. There is slight heat, heavy snow and slight cold. One more thing, there is only a small full and no big full. "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" says: "Full, overflowing." As the saying goes, "when the water is full, it will overflow, and every month it will lose money." Therefore, everything in life can't be "full", and when it is full, it will cause losses. This may be the reason why our ancestors changed "Da Man" into "Mangzhong"! Among the 24 solar terms, Xiaoman is definitely a solar term full of philosophy.

Third, how to maintain health in Xiaoman solar terms

1. Sleep: ensure sleep and keep warm.

2. After the small full day, the temperature obviously rises and the rainfall increases, but it will still be cold in the morning and evening, and the daily temperature difference is still large, especially after the rain, the temperature drops more obviously. Therefore, we should pay attention to adding clothes at the right time, especially when sleeping at night, and keep warm to avoid catching a cold. At the same time, it is necessary to conform to the principle of yang dispersing yin in summer, get up early and go to bed late, but ensure the sleep time to keep energetic.

At this time, the sunshine becomes longer, so you can get up early and go to bed late. In order to ensure sleep time and keep energetic, you can take a nap in stages at noon and after dinner. It's better to take a nap for half an hour, but you can't sleep for too long. If you sleep after meals, you'd better sleep 15 minutes to half an hour.

Some people will take a nap at their desks or desks at noon. In fact, this is not conducive to eliminating fatigue. Because when the human body is sleeping, the muscles of the whole body relax, the blood circulation slows down, and the blood supply to the head decreases. If sitting posture is adopted, people will feel dizzy, tinnitus, leg weakness, blurred vision, pale face and other symptoms of cerebral ischemia and hypoxia after waking up. In addition, resting on the table will oppress the eyeball, increase the intraocular pressure and easily induce eye diseases.

5, diet: clear and humid, light vegetarian.

6. In Xiaoman season, the focus of health care is "clearing heat and drying dampness". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "summer heat carries more dampness", that is to say, the heat of summer is the easiest to invade the human body with dampness.

7. To prevent heatstroke and eliminate dampness, we should give priority to fresh and light vegetarian food, and often eat foods with heat-clearing effect, such as melon, bitter gourd, loofah, lotus root, tomato, watermelon, pear and other fruits and vegetables, which can clear away heat and purge fire, and can also supplement vitamins and protein needed by human body.

8. In addition, drinking plenty of water, preferably warm water, can promote metabolism and internal heat discharge. In addition, Neijing also holds that "all dampness and distension belong to the spleen". Therefore, in order to get rid of dampness, people are advised to eat more foods that can get rid of dampness and strengthen the function of the spleen and stomach, such as yam, corn, water chestnut, coix seed and so on.
