How to keep out the cold and keep warm in three or nine days

Is the slight cold a symbol of the coldest day? Is the slight cold the beginning of the coldest March 9?

Yes, the representative of slight cold means to begin to enter the coldest day of the year. There is a folk saying, "It's 239 when it's a slight cold, and it's shivering with cold", which shows the cold degree of solar terms.

It was 239 during the slight cold. Why is it cold on the 39th?

During the winter solstice, the daytime is the shortest, the angle of direct sunlight on the ground is the smallest, and the sunshine intensity per unit area on the ground is also the smallest, so the ground gets the least solar heat every day, and the daily heat budget deficit on the ground has not reached the maximum. On the solstice after winter, although the day is growing day by day, the growth rate is very slow. From the winter solstice to the "March 9" period, the average daily growth is only about one minute. At the same time, the angle between the direct angle of the sun and the ground is slowly increasing. The daily heat budget of the ground is still in deficit, so it continues to lose heat and the ground temperature continues to drop. The deficit of total heat balance on the ground only reaches the maximum in the season of March 9. Because the temperature is mainly affected by the ground temperature, it leads to the lowest temperature in March 9 (of course, this is not the case all over the country, but every year, depending on the region and age). In addition, around March 9, the cold air mass in Siberia also developed to a very strong stage, and the frequent invasion of strong cold air is also one of the reasons for the low temperature.

The earth absorbs heat from solar radiation during the day and releases heat at night. In summer, you absorb more heat during the day and emit less heat at night, so you can accumulate some heat every day. In winter, less heat is absorbed during the day and more heat is released at night. Not only can you not accumulate it every day, but you also need to use some of the heat accumulated in summer. During the winter solstice, less heat is absorbed during the day, but there is still some stored heat on the earth. After the winter solstice, less and less heat is stored. By March 9, the earth's heat storage is the least in a year, so it is the coldest.

How to keep out the cold and keep warm in three or nine days?

warm oneself

In winter in the south, the sun is chilly in the morning and fierce at noon. At about 10 in the morning, the sun is warm. At this time, take a walk outdoors and bask in the back and head of the human body. There is the bladder meridian of the sun on the back, and the head is the meeting of all the yang, which is the place of the yang meeting. These two places can replenish yang and dredge veins.

The famous book "Ancient and Modern Heng Yan" said: "Sitting with your back to the sun is called the mystery of negative sun, and the spine is slightly warm, which can make the whole body unobstructed. The sun is the essence of the sun, and its light intensity is positive. " It can be seen that "the Xuan of negative yang" has the function of fitness and health preservation and its benefits.

Eat nutritious food

It is said that winter is a good time to catch up on sleep. There is a saying among the people that "three nine make up one winter, and there will be no disease in the coming year", and many foodies gain weight unconsciously.

Eat more warm food, such as mutton, beef, ginger, chicken and so on. In the cold solar terms, it can indeed enhance the human body's ability to resist cold and remove dampness, but the "cold" in Lingnan is not "severe cold" and occasionally changes with damp heat. Adding a small amount of auxiliary ingredients such as Coicis Semen, Semen Phaseoli, Rhizoma Smilacis Glabrae, Atractylodis Rhizoma, Radish, etc. to warm food can make winter tonic.

The cold external environment is easy to damage the yang of the human body, and people will involuntarily curl up and tremble. Many girls have cold hands and feet in winter, and they can't sleep in bed at night. Some of them are accompanied by dysmenorrhea or joint pain, which are caused by insufficient yang and poor blood circulation.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the five internal organs of the human body have corresponding projections on the feet, and the feet are the starting point of the foot three yin meridians and the end point of the foot three yang meridians. There are more than 60 acupoints below the ankle joint. If you often soak your feet with hot water, you can stimulate the acupoints of your feet, enhance blood circulation and warm the yang.

Adding safflower, Chinese liquor, Folium Artemisiae Argyi or ginger slices to foot bath water can double the efficacy of promoting blood circulation, dispelling cold and eliminating dampness. Pay attention to the water temperature and time when soaking until the whole body is hot and sweating slightly.

Remind that it is not advisable to soak your feet for half an hour before and after meals. When the foot bath is over, the pores are wide open. You should also keep warm to avoid the invasion of cold evil.

moxibustion

March 9th in winter is the time when yin is the most abundant and yang is the weakest in a year, and it is also the time when deficiency-cold syndrome is most likely to be induced. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, respiratory diseases and digestive diseases often occur in winter.

Moxibustion is the fire of pure yang, which can moisten the five internal organs and prevent and treat diseases. Sanjiu Moxibustion, commonly known as Sanjiu Moxibustion, is a characteristic therapy for treating internal diseases and external diseases according to the climatic characteristics of the four seasons. From winter to Sunday, moxibustion is conducted every nine days, including natural moxibustion, mild moxibustion, moxibustion separated from objects, warm acupuncture and wheat moxibustion. No matter what kind of moxibustion is used.
