Gu Mi solar terms

On July 22nd, 2020 16: 37, the sun reached 120 degrees, marking that we entered the hottest solar term of the year-Great Summer.

Summer solar term, the annual temperature rising trend reaches its peak, and it is also the last solar term in summer. After the intense heat, August 7th will be the "beginning of autumn". From that day on, I left the colorful summer and entered the crisp autumn. Many people will wonder why summer is over because it is still very hot in August. This is because the ancients set the seasons according to the trend of climate change in heaven and earth. Summer is the rising trend of the sun's spirit, and autumn is the time when the sun's spirit reaches its peak and begins to decline. Although the temperature is still hot in autumn, the yin and yang of the weather have begun to change gradually, with the yang gradually decreasing and the yin gradually rising from the lowest end. Therefore, there is a folk saying that after beginning of autumn, you can't eat watermelon and ice water, and you can't go shirtless. It is because the weather rises in autumn that greed like summer will hurt the spleen and stomach.

Speaking of the great summer heat, the phenology of the great summer heat is like this: first, rotten grass is a firefly; Second, wait for the soil to moisten and cool off the heat; Just when it rains heavily. Rotten grass turns into fireflies, which means that fireflies will hatch and become a landscape at this time. Fireflies have very high requirements for the living environment, and they can't survive without any pesticide pollution, so the place where they can be seen now must be beautiful and worth visiting. The other two seasons are wet and rainy, which are closely related. The ancients said that "the soil is thick and deep, and it is not sick to live in it." It is said that the environment with rich soil and water is suitable for living and not easy to get sick. Therefore, the hot summer weather brings vitality, and people and plants can be nourished and moistened in this environment.

The essence of the sun will gradually reach its peak in summer, which is suitable for our body to nourish the sun. Therefore, at this time, people with cold diseases, such as those who are prone to chills, colds and fever, and physical weakness, can use some three-day stickers and moxibustion, or simply bask in the sun in the morning and evening, and exercise moderately, which can nourish the yang and replenish qi. When the weather is hot in summer, it is easy to be irritable. At this time, we should adjust the rhythm of the body and synchronize with nature. For example, you must get up early in the morning, even if you go out for breakfast, you can be full of energy. It is best to take a nap around noon 12. Go out to chat after dinner in the evening to relax and get ready for bed. In this way, the body moves with the ups and downs of yang, and people's thoughts are enriched.

Besides, people get wet easily in hot and humid seasons. Moisture mainly depends on the tongue picture: if the tongue coating is covered by the tongue body and the coverage area is larger than usual, it can be highly suspected that moisture is the cause. We call this tongue picture "full tongue coating". At the same time, heavy moisture will make the tongue coating very thick and there will be a lot of saliva on it. In addition, there will be tooth marks on the edge of the tongue, which is what we usually call tooth marks, which are all manifestations of heavy moisture. At this time, we should take good care of the spleen, the most important organ for eliminating dampness. An important measure to protect the spleen and stomach in summer is not to drink ice water, have a light diet and eat more whole grains. Millet, corn, yam, lotus seeds and water chestnut can nourish the spleen and stomach and are suitable for daily diet.

The summer heat is strong, so you can come for the summer vacation. In the summer of 2020, you will also enter the countdown. You can do it and cherish it.
