Folk activities and taboos of Xiaoman solar terms

Xiaoman, fighting nails, the sun reaches 60 degrees of the yellow meridian. A small solar term means entering the rainy season of heavy precipitation, and the rain begins to increase, and there will often be a continuous large-scale heavy precipitation. The following are the folk activities and taboos I have compiled for you, hoping to help you.

What folk activities does Xiaoman have?

1, offering sacrifices to Che Shen

Xiaoman Festival is in early summer, which is also the busiest season for farmers. In the old days, irrigation and drainage with waterwheels was an important event in rural areas, so there were folk activities to worship the car god in many places in Xiaoman solar terms.

2. Sacrifice to the silkworm god

According to legend, Xiaoman is the birthday of the silkworm god. During the farming period, people regarded silkworm as a thing in the sky. In order to pray for forgiveness and a good harvest in sericulture, a silkworm praying festival is held every April when silkworms are released.

3, around the three spirits

"Around Three Souls" is popular in Dali, Yunnan and other places. April 23 to April 25 of the lunar calendar is around Xiaoman solar term, which is called the carnival of Bai nationality.

4. Busy harvesting seeds

In the provinces of the Yellow River valley, April of the lunar calendar is the time to harvest wheat and thresh. Autumn rice is sown in the Pearl River basin, and cotton, wheat and soybeans are sown in the northeast. As soon as sorghum grows, weeds must be removed and inferior seedlings must be cut off. The solar term is the time when agriculture is busy.

Taboo of solar terms in Xiao Man

1, it is forbidden to be dry without rain.

It is forbidden to rain on Xiaoman Festival. Because xiaoman originally means that the grain is small and full, it shows that the crop is already in the growth stage. Only when the water in the field is irrigated with rain will it gradually show its edge and mature rice. If Xiaoman is dry and there is no rain, the ground of the rice field will crack.

Plants in the southern region may also reduce production due to insufficient rain, while in the northern region, it may be impossible to transplant rice seedlings because of insufficient rain. Therefore, among the folk sayings, there is a saying that Xiaoman is not satisfied and Mangzi doesn't care. According to the previous meteorological connection, if there is drought before and after Xiaoman, there will be less rain before and after awning.

Taboos are Jiazi Day or Chen Geng Day.

In addition to climate taboos, Xiaoman has time taboos. Most people think that if Xiaoman happens to catch Jiazi or Chen Geng Day, it will have a great impact on plants this year. For example, there may be a plague of locusts in autumn, which will greatly reduce the original crop yield. According to the Old Yellow Calendar, if the day of Xiaoman is Jiazi Day or Chen Geng Day, it is the year of locust plague.

Seasonal Disease Prevention in Xiao Man

First, we should prevent fever.

1, the laws of diet and life should be coordinated.

Chinese medicine believes that summer heat belongs to the heart in the operation of the five elements. At this time, it is necessary to eat a little light food to supplement nutrition, while the heart likes cold, and the best food is acidic food. In addition, you can also eat wheat products, as well as pork, celery, peaches, pineapples and so on. Can be ingested, achieve harmony between man and nature, and complement each other as much as possible. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the irregularity of life in summer, and often working overtime will make the body in a sub-health state. In summer, we suggest that you eat more foods with cold stomach acid and try not to eat spicy and warm foods, because it is easy to cause internal fire, which will lead to a series of fever, such as common insomnia, sores on the mouth, lips and tongue, constipation and so on.

2. Three aspects of preventing fever

First of all, drink plenty of water, preferably warm water, which can speed up the metabolic rhythm and expel heat from the body. It's best not to drink too much, because on the one hand, there are many pigments in drinks, and most of them are food additives, which are only harmful to the body and not good. On the other hand, orange juice is not conducive to fire. On the contrary, drinking too much orange juice will produce hot phlegm and aggravate the heat in the body.

Secondly, we should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, such as wax gourd, bitter gourd, towel gourd, tomato, watermelon and banana. These watermelons and vegetables generally have the effect of clearing away heat and reducing fire, and can supplement corresponding vitamins, protein and minerals. Among them, wax gourd has a strong diuretic effect.

Finally, we should keep a regular life and do more exercise. When exercising, it is better to do it once in the morning and once in the evening. This time is when the weather is cooler, which is very conducive to promoting the digestion of food and preventing the occurrence of excessive internal heat. At the same time, it can relieve the mental stress during exercise.

Second, the health of preventing beriberi began.

After the full season, damp heat began to prevail. At this time, beriberi has also reached the high season. Therefore, on the one hand, it is necessary to ensure the cleanliness of the feet, and pay attention to choosing socks with good air permeability and strong sweat absorption to prevent moisture from accumulating on the feet. On the other hand, in diet, we should eat more foods that remove dampness and strengthen the spleen, such as soup, soup and other soup-based foods, which are light and easy to digest and good for our health.

Third, skin diseases should be prevented early.

1, there is more rain after a small fullness, and moisture hurts the skin more.

After Xiaoman, most parts of our country have entered summer. This solar term is due to the hot and rainy weather. Especially for elderly friends, the yang in the body is easily damaged, the moisture in the body will increase, and the mood will be more irritable. In particular, we should pay attention to the harm of three fullness to the body, deal with the syndrome in time, and do a good job in health care.

In addition to "full crops", Xiaoman solar term also contains a meaning, "Xiaoman Xiaoman". The river is full. "It shows that from this time on, the rain began to increase. After Xiaoman, the rainfall increased significantly and the air humidity was obvious. It is prone to various skin diseases, such as beriberi, eczema, sweat spots, wet skin diseases and tinea pedis. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of these skin diseases has a great relationship with the hot and humid weather, especially for the elderly, and the wet weight is the main cause of the disease at this time.

2, rubella skin damage needs early treatment.

Xiaoman season is a period of high incidence of skin diseases. According to the principle of prevention before illness, we should consider the prevention and treatment of rubella. There are several reasons for rubella. First, the body skin is attacked by moisture, infected with wind-heat or wind-cold, which is harmful to the conditioning of the body skin at this time; The second is the accumulation of heat in the stomach. After satiety, the cold is aggravated, the internal heat can't dissipate, and the external wind can't blow in, which will collide with the skin, thus causing damage to the skin; The third is related to physical fitness. Summer is the season for all kinds of aquatic products, such as fish, shrimp and crab. Some people are allergic to seafood. People are allergic to seafood, which will lead to disharmony between the spleen and stomach, damp heat and skin damage. Rubella can occur in any part of the body, and the onset speed is very fast, resulting in abnormal itching of the skin, which will change with the cold and hot climate.

3, spleen and dampness have a miraculous effect.

Eliminating dampness in traditional Chinese medicine can be achieved by strengthening the spleen, because the spleen governs transport and transformation, and likes dryness and hates dampness. If the body is trapped by dampness, transportation will be abnormal, manifested as loose stool, satiety and lack of food. This pathogenesis is that dampness is trapped in the spleen, so it is necessary to strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness. In treatment, we should follow the principles of expelling wind and removing dampness and clearing blood heat.

For example, after a small meal, you can drink the soup of crucian carp pot, because crucian carp is a sweet fish, but supplementary nutrition will not get angry, which will help strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, and it is nutritious and suitable for friends with heavy humidity in summer.

In addition, for patients with skin diseases, eat fresh and light vegetarian food, such as adzuki bean, coix seed, mung bean, wax gourd, loofah, cucumber, auricularia auricula, carrot, celery, lotus root, yam, tomato and grass carp. These foods have the effect of clearing away damp heat; For chili, pepper, cinnamon, ginger, raw garlic, eggplant, mushrooms, marine fish, shrimp, crab, which are helpful to damp, sour and spicy food, we should eat as little as possible.

Fourth, yang injury is very harmful, and abdominal pain and diarrhea should be known early.

1, it is not good to hurt yang in summer.

The temperature will continue to rise after the full moon, which also indicates the real arrival of summer. At this time, the heat is evil, and sweat is discharged quickly. Traditional Chinese medicine has the saying that "qi is lost with sweat", and qi is yang. Many friends accidentally dispersed the yang in their bodies in summer and began to get sick. In summer, some middle-aged and old friends are greedy for cold, like to stay in air-conditioned rooms, or like to drink frozen beer.

2. Early prevention of diarrhea and abdominal pain

The yang of human body is damaged, which is very harmful to the body. If you blindly choose cold drinks to cool down and relieve summer heat, it will only be harmful to your health and have no benefits at all. Therefore, after a small satiety, the elderly and children should try to avoid eating too much cold food, because too much cold food intake will lead to abdominal pain and diarrhea. It is very harmful to the body.

It is very important to prevent getting angry.

1, the temperature rises and the fire is obvious.

After a small meal, you will obviously feel that the days are long and the nights are short. With the increase of temperature, the metabolism of human body is very vigorous, and the consumption of body heat is also great. It is easy to cause fatigue at this time. For office workers, staying up late will get angry. This kind of internal heat and external heat combined with the high temperature outside can easily cause constipation, oral ulcer, sore throat and other symptoms of getting angry.

2. Get rid of fire and exercise reasonably.

Therefore, at this time, we should pay attention to diet, avoid staying up late, keep a good mood, and dredge as soon as possible when there is pressure to prevent the generation of heat in the body. When getting angry is very serious, there will be mood swings, which will lead to high blood pressure and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in severe cases. Therefore, it is possible to participate in outdoor activities in the small full season. For example, fishing is a good choice. When fishing, you can exercise a person's patience and nourish his temperament. Of course, he can also take part in some physical exercises, such as jogging and playing Tai Ji Chuan, which are good exercises to prevent getting angry. The most important thing is not to do too strenuous exercise, so as not to sweat and hurt Yin and Yang.

For example, after a small meal, you can drink the soup of crucian carp pot, because crucian carp is a sweet fish, but supplementary nutrition will not get angry, which will help strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, and it is nutritious and suitable for friends with heavy humidity in summer.

In addition, for patients with skin diseases, eat fresh and light vegetarian food, such as adzuki bean, coix seed, mung bean, wax gourd, loofah, cucumber, auricularia auricula, carrot, celery, lotus root, yam, tomato and grass carp. These foods have the effect of clearing away damp heat; For chili, pepper, cinnamon, ginger, raw garlic, eggplant, mushrooms, marine fish, shrimp, crab, which are helpful to damp, sour and spicy food, we should eat as little as possible.
