"In early autumn, don't do four things, do two things and eat two things." This ancient tradition pays attention to what not to do.

Beginning of autumn is the 13 of the 24 solar terms, and each solar term corresponds to a festival. Since it is a festival, there are customs and taboos, and of course it is inseparable from food.

What do people think of the arrival of beginning of autumn?

In this article, the author will tell you in detail two things that beginning of autumn should do, two kinds of food to eat and four things that it can't do, and follow the ancient tradition to welcome autumn safely and healthily.

What are the specific aspects? Everyone will have an answer after reading it.

Let's talk about doing two things first

The first thing: bask in the autumn

Sunbathing in autumn means sunning crops. On this day in early autumn, it is a typical agricultural custom to hang crops on the roof or yard at home to dry.

In some areas in the south, around the beginning of autumn, it is the harvest season of early rice, mainly drying rice and some fruits.

In the northern region, because the crops have not been harvested in autumn, the main thing is to dry the wheat, on the one hand, to prevent moisture, on the other hand, to dry the wheat for better storage in winter.

In addition, there is also the implication of basking in autumn, praying for good weather and good harvest in the coming year.

The second thing: posting autumn fat

When the solar term comes in beginning of autumn, many areas have the custom of pasting autumn fat. What is autumn fertilizer? Mainly a weight comparison, beginning of autumn weighed himself that day, and Chang Xia weighed himself in advance, and then the two were compared. If the weight in beginning of autumn is lighter than that in the long summer, it needs to be supplemented after the arrival of beginning of autumn, which is called "sticky autumn fertilizer".

On the contrary, if beginning of autumn's weight is greater than that of Chang Xia, there is no need to "stick to autumn fat".

Due to the hot weather between Changchun and beginning of autumn, people's appetite is reduced and their weight is easy to drop. Therefore, it is better to make up for the cold winter by "sticking autumn fertilizer".

In addition, eat two kinds.

The first thing: watermelon

Many areas have the custom of "beginning of autumn gnawing at autumn melons" or "biting autumn melons", which generally refers to watermelons. There is a book that says, "beginning of autumn ate watermelon the day before, which is called eating autumn.

"

There are two reasons for eating watermelon in early autumn. First, beginning of autumn can prevent autumn dryness by eating watermelon that day. Autumn is a dry season, and watermelon has high water content. People used to eat watermelon to prevent autumn dryness. After a long time, this custom has been handed down.

Secondly, the weather is getting colder after beginning of autumn, and watermelon is a cool fruit. Eating watermelon after beginning of autumn can cause stomach upset. Beginning of autumn ate watermelon that day, saying that the last time he ate watermelon that year, he would wait until next year.

The second sample: eggplant

There is a folk saying that "summer sowing grows eggplant and beginning of autumn eats eggplant". Some eggplants can be planted in the long summer and eaten in early autumn.

Why eat eggplant? This is because eggplant has the function of clearing away heat and reducing fire. It is dry in autumn after beginning of autumn, so eating more eggplant is beneficial to reducing fire and eliminating dryness.

Coupled with the mature eggplant in early autumn, it tastes tender and smooth, and tastes good. It is a good vegetable, which can be steamed, fried and fried.

Finally, say "four don't"

1, don't take a cold bath.

During the high temperature in summer, many friends like to take a cold bath, especially after working outdoors. Taking a cold bath will be very comfortable.

However, in early autumn, you can't do this anymore. After beginning of autumn, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and there is only a short high temperature at noon. If you take a cold bath again, you will easily get sick.

2. Don't sleep on the mat.

Summer sleeping mat can be said to be a must-have item in summer. It is very comfortable to sleep on a mat in hot summer. However, after beginning of autumn, sleeping on a mat is not recommended.

When sleeping at night, when the mat touches the skin, you will feel very cold under you, which will not be obvious in the short term. After a long time, you will feel uncomfortable, or cold will enter your body, causing more serious situations.

Therefore, don't sleep on the mat after beginning of autumn.

3. Don't overeat.

Beginning of autumn has the custom of "pasting autumn fat", and some friends will overeat, which is not desirable. It is ok to paste autumn fat properly, but it should be moderate and not too fierce. If you overeat, the fat will burn in autumn, but there are also health problems, such as gastrointestinal discomfort, obesity, and

4, don't make up for it.

Autumn is the season of keeping in good health. After beginning of autumn, some people thought it was time to stay healthy and began to take some supplements or medicines. Some friends are not sick, but also take some supplements. This is not only a waste of money, but also not good for their health. When the water is full, it will overflow and people's health will be problematic.

These are two things that beginning of autumn has to do, two kinds of food to eat and four things that he can't do that day. You can learn from them. I hope you get sick less in autumn and winter and spend it safely and healthily.

Excuse me, what are the customs and taboos in beginning of autumn today?
