What should we pay attention to in the Millennium solar terms? What should we pay attention to in the Millennium solar terms?

The arrival of the Millennium solar terms indicates that autumn begins to turn cold slowly. Each solar term corresponds to different weather characteristics. Autumn is coming slowly. After the hot summer, my body is slightly tired and needs to be nursed back to normal. There are many things to pay attention to in the Millennium solar terms. The following are some precautions for the Millennium solar terms.

1, keep warm.

There is a saying: "After the Millennium Festival, the night is cold and the day is hot", which means that the temperature difference between day and night in the Millennium season is large. At this time, the temperature is still high during the day, but it is low in the morning and evening, so we should do a good job of keeping warm and cold. Therefore, at this time, it is not appropriate to be naked again. In folk proverbs, there is also a saying that "the white dew does not reveal the body." It is said that when it comes to the Millennium, don't wear shorts. After autumn, the weather turned cold. Although it is not as wet and cold as late autumn, the temperature difference between day and night is the biggest time of the year. If you don't pay attention to adding clothes and do a good job of cold prevention and warmth, it is easy to catch a cold and get frostbite. In addition, the main dryness in autumn, once accidentally frozen and cold, is particularly easy to cause lung infections and colds. Because the lungs, fur, nasal cavity and other parts of the human body, which are mainly lungs, are particularly vulnerable to wind dryness caused by dryness and wind. Moreover, once infected with bones and muscles, it is particularly prone to limb diseases such as arthritis and rheumatism. In addition, there is a folk saying that "the white dew is not exposed, but it is frozen and diarrhea". When the Millennium season comes, it is easy to catch a cold and have diarrhea if you don't cover yourself at night. So,

When the Millennium comes, you must pay attention to cover the quilt when you sleep at night, especially for old friends and people with weak resistance.

2. Prevent asthma and hay fever

During the Millennium, the temperature changes greatly, and it is also easy to induce bronchial asthma. The most important way to prevent bronchial asthma is to take physical exercise. Many asthma patients mistakenly believe that physical exercise will cause asthma attacks and psychologically resist physical exercise, which is naturally inaccurate. On the contrary, if you don't take physical exercise, your physical fitness will decline, but it will increase the risk of other diseases. Friends of patients can exercise through jogging, Tai Chi and other sports. In addition, singing is also a good choice for asthma patients, because it can increase vital capacity.

A disease that is easy to get in the Millennium season is "hay fever". Autumn is a good time to relax, but many people have cold symptoms such as itchy nose, continuous sneezing and runny nose when traveling. Actually, this may be hay fever. The most important thing to prevent hay fever is to stay away from allergens. People with allergies are advised not to travel at this time. If they want to travel, they should also wear masks, stay away from flowers and have a bad wind to avoid hay fever. If you feel unwell, you should seek medical advice as soon as possible.

3. Cold-resistant exercise

There is an old saying: "Spring covers the autumn". When it is cold in autumn, if you can properly carry out cold-resistant exercise, you can effectively increase the cold-resistant ability of skin and nasal mucosa, which is of great benefit to strengthening your physique. However, you should not be blindly frozen in autumn, and you should pay attention to adding clothes when the temperature changes. Only when you add clothes, you don't need to add too much too quickly, in order to gradually enhance your body's cold resistance. On the other hand, you should also pay attention to keeping your feet warm. The foot is far from the heart, which is the most unobstructed place for blood circulation, but the six important meridians of the human body are all on the foot. In the Millennium, cold air invaded. As the saying goes, "your feet are warm and your legs are not cold, but your legs are warm and your body is not cold." No matter how frozen it is in autumn, you should also pay attention to keeping your feet warm, so as to stay away from diseases.

4. The custom of the Millennium solar terms

1. There is a traditional saying in Fuzhou that "the white dew must eat longan". Folk means that eating longan on the day of the Millennium has a miraculous effect of nourishing the body. Eating an longan on this day is equivalent to eating a chicken, which sounds exaggerated and not so magical, but I believe there is some truth. Because longan itself has many functions such as invigorating qi and strengthening spleen, nourishing blood and calming nerves, moistening skin and beautifying face, it can also treat anemia, insomnia, neurasthenia and other diseases. Moreover, a thousand-year-old longan is big and sweet, so it is better to eat a thousand-year-old longan. Whether it is a tonic or not, Fuzhou people are used to this traditional custom.

2. Wenzhou, Zhejiang and other places have had the custom of Millennium Festival. In Cangnan, Pingyang and other places, people collect "ten kinds of whites" (also known as "three kinds of whites") on this day to stew black-bone white-haired chickens (or ducks). It is said that eating it can nourish the body and dispel the atmosphere (arthritis). These "ten kinds of white" are ten kinds of herbs with the word "white", such as hibiscus, white hair bitter and so on, which literally corresponds to "white dew"

Old Nanjing people like "Egret Tea" very much. At this time, the tea tree has experienced the summer heat, and it is an excellent period for its growth before and after the Millennium. Bailu tea is neither as fresh and tender as spring tea, nor as dry and bitter as summer tea, but it has a unique sweet and mellow taste, which is especially loved by old tea customers.

4. Old Nanjing in the south of Jiangsu and Zhejiang also has the custom of brewing Bailu rice wine. In the old society, Bailu went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang rural areas every year, and every family made wine to entertain guests. People often brought Bailu rice wine into the city. Bailu wine is made from glutinous rice, sorghum and other grains, which is slightly sweet, so it is called "Bailu rice wine".
