The following are the traditional activities and health tips I have compiled for you, hoping to help you.

Traditional rain and solar terms activities

First, go back to your mother's house.

The married daughter took her husband to send festivals to her parents-in-law. Holiday gifts are usually two rattan chairs with red ribbons one foot and two feet long. This is called "longevity", which means wishing parents a long life. The other is "canned meat": stew pig's trotters, soybeans and kelp in a casserole, seal the jar with red paper and red rope and give it to parents. This is to express gratitude and respect to the parents who have worked so hard to raise their daughters. If they are newlyweds, their parents-in-law will also give back an umbrella to let their son-in-law go out for a run, which will not only protect him from the wind and rain, but also mean wishing his son-in-law a smooth and safe life journey.

Second, pull the bag (looking for michel platini)

In the past, people had a habit of divining their children from God to see what their children's fate was and whether they needed to find a michel platini. The purpose of looking for michel platini is to make a son or daughter grow up smoothly and healthily. Rain festival pulls michel platini, which means "rain and dew moisten and grow easily". Especially in western Sichuan, there is a special place to pull michel platini on this day. On this day, whether it is sunny or rainy, we will drag michel platini's parents with paper money with tables, incense and waxing, and take the children through the crowd to find michel platini. Want to let children grow up with knowledge, and pull a scholar to be michel platini; If the child is weak, pull a tall and strong person like michel platini. Once someone is dragged to be a "michel platini", some can make money and run, while others can't escape. Most of them will readily agree, indicating that others trust themselves, so their fate will be better.

Third, the occupation of beige

The color of rice is to predict the rice harvest in that year by frying glutinous rice flowers. The quality of "color" depends on the number of glutinous rice flowers that bloom. The more glutinous rice that bursts with glistening, the better the harvest; Moreover, the less rice blooms, it means that the harvest is not good and the rice price will be expensive.

Fourth, send rain.

At the Dongshan Hakka Rain Festival in Chengdu, Sichuan, a daughter sent festivals to her parents, and her son-in-law sent festivals to her parents-in-law. The gift given by the son-in-law on holidays is usually a one-foot-two-foot-long red cotton belt, which is called "Shoushou" to pray for the parents-in-law to get along for a hundred years. The daughter stewed pig's trotters and chicken soup, sealed the jar with red paper and red rope, and the son-in-law sent it to her parents-in-law. This is the son-in-law's gratitude to her parents-in-law who have worked so hard to raise her daughter. If it is wedding date, the newly-married son-in-law, her parents-in-law will also give her an umbrella in return, so that her son-in-law can go out to shelter from the wind and rain, and wish her a smooth and safe life journey.

The secret of rainwater health care

1, mental conditioning is the most important

The first thing to keep healthy in rainy season is to recharge your batteries. In spring, yang will produce hair, such as the command of the liver. When qi is relaxed, hair will grow moderately, qi will be smooth, the liver and spleen will be harmonious, the spirit will be abundant and the body will be healthy. Take a moderate exercise in spring outing, stroll through the countryside and feel the charm of spring. Quiet without desire, don't be in vain, nourish your vitality. Do a regular life and combine work and rest. Comply with nature, protect vitality, and follow the laws of natural changes, so that the rhythm of life process can be adjusted with the changes of time, space and seasons, so as to achieve the purposes of strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach, conditioning the day after tomorrow and prolonging life.

2, rain, regulate the spleen and stomach

The change of the nature of rainy solar terms is related to health care, emphasizing that rainy solar terms "regulate the spleen and stomach" Spleen and stomach are the "acquired foundation" and the "source of qi and blood biochemistry", and the strength of spleen and stomach is an important factor to determine the length of life. Zhang Jingyue, a physician in the Ming Dynasty, said, "rustic qi is the source of all things, and stomach qi is the master of health preservation. A strong stomach is strong and a weak stomach is weak. Live with stomach qi, and die without stomach qi. Therefore, a health practitioner must put the spleen and stomach in the first place. Spleen and stomach are the basis of people's health and longevity. Spring health care should pay attention to the characteristics of yang, support yang, and avoid hurting the spleen and stomach.

To regulate the spleen and stomach, we should choose diet conditioning, drug conditioning and daily routine according to the situation. The climate gets warmer in spring, but it is windy and dry, which often leads to dry skin, dry mouth and chapped lips. You should eat more fresh vegetables and juicy fruits to replenish human body's water. Eat less greasy things, so as not to help yang leak out. "Qian Jin Fang" says: "On the seventy-second day of spring, keep acid and sweeten it to nourish your temper." Eat less sour, eat more sweet, and nourish the spleen. You can choose leek, Toona sinensis, lily, pea seedling and chrysanthemum.

3, beware of cold spring

In the rainy season this year, the low temperature of 10 degrees Celsius was ushered in central Yunnan, which brought some discomfort to people who just felt the warmth of spring. Fortunately, the weather became warmer and warmer. After autumn, it rained, and then the temperature gradually dropped until the middle of winter. And the weather after beginning of spring, although there are low temperature attacks from time to time, even "spring cold", but once the "spring cold", the temperature will rise by one section, and unconsciously it will be hot. The rainy season is in such a transitional period, and health care is particularly important.

How should rain and solar terms keep in good health?

Don't cut down on winter clothes too early.

What needs to be reminded is that the public should not take off their coats too early, but should cover them for a period of time and slowly adjust the balance of yin and yang to adapt to the new climate conditions.

The focus of keeping warm is on the legs and feet.

In the early spring, when it is warm and cold, we should pay more attention to the warmth of the lower body. Warm work on legs and feet can prevent the invasion of spring disease.

I didn't wear a thick coat and down jacket, and my clothes, pants, shoes and socks were too thin. It's best to keep your legs and feet warm and follow the dressing principle of "thick down and thin up", especially for the elderly.

Old and infirm people use less cold water.

According to China's theory of five elements, water corresponds to kidney, and kidney governs bone. Although there is a saying on the road to health that washing your face with cold water all the year round can play a health care role. However, in the rainy season, if the elderly and infirm wash their faces and hands with cold water, wet and cold can easily invade the joints. In addition, if there is not enough yang to drive away the cold, the dampness and coldness will stay in the hands, which will easily lead to soreness, deformation, pain and other symptoms.

In addition, the spring is still wet and cold, and it should be dried with a hair dryer in time after washing your hair. Otherwise, the water stays moist in the hairline, and then cools down, so it is easy for the wet cold to gather in the head and penetrate into the skull from the outside to the inside, leading to headache.
