Taboo of solar terms

Taboos of solar terms: staying up late, undressing early, no ventilation.

1, staying up late: Scared, the weather is getting warmer. Some friends like to stay up late. In winter, because of the cold weather, they may go to bed early. When the room is warm, more people stay up late. Actually, this is not good.

2. Take off your clothes early: Although the temperature is relatively high during the day, it is still low in the morning and evening, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. It is recommended to change clothes gradually in spring and summer.

3, no ventilation: after the shock, the weather gets warmer and the spring breeze is slow. It is necessary to ventilate the room frequently, which not only makes the air fresh, but also intensifies the air circulation in the house. At noon, taking advantage of the warm weather, opening more windows for ventilation can also provide a better environment for life or work.

The custom of shocking solar terms

1. Eating pears: It is a custom in many areas to eat pears during the solar term of fright. As the saying goes, "shock, everything is born." After the scare came, many insects began to move. Homophonically speaking, "pear" is homophonic, so eating pears is to stay away from pests.

2. Insect fumigation: After entering the solar term of fright, insects began to resume their activities from the wintering state, and insects, rats and ants began to appear at home. Therefore, on the day of the solar term, people will smoke insects in the cracks and corners of their homes with burning incense sticks or wormwood to reduce the number of subsequent insects.

3. Stir-fried beans: The custom of stir-frying beans is mainly concentrated in areas where spring soybeans are planted. In the past, when people planted soybeans, they kept them. Seeds stored for a winter, I don't know whether they have been eaten by insects or deteriorated, so I will judge the quality of seeds by frying beans.
