Yuan Zhen Han Xiao Pinyin Edition

The original text of Yuan Zhen's "Han Xiao" is Da Lian Road, where birds build new nests. Picking up food to find a winding path, holding purple around the treetops. The frost eagle is near the north head, and the pheasant is hidden in the bushes. Not strange but strict, spring and summer are in the first month.

Every year, around 65438+10.5 in Gregorian calendar is called "slight cold", which is the 23rd solar term among the 24 solar terms and the fifth solar term in winter. Cold accumulated for a long time is cold. "Slight cold" means that the weather is cold, but the chill is still small, and it has not yet reached the coldest season. It will be "big" in half a month, that is, it will enter the "great cold" solar term.

"When the slight cold was 239, the north wind was biting." Generally speaking, the "great cold" is colder than the "slight cold", but in meteorological records, there are times when the "slight cold" is colder than the "great cold", and "slight cold is better than the great cold, which is not uncommon". In such a cold season, rivers freeze, the soil freezes, the cold air in the north keeps going south, and everything in the world is lonely.

Winter diet:

Traditional medicine believes that cold is yin evil, and yin evil is the most abundant in the coldest time, so "slight cold" is the best time to tonic, but it should be aimed at one's own health and physique, and should not be supplemented at will. Ordinary people only need to pay attention to adding more warm food, such as mutton, to prevent the cold climate from invading the human body.

Health care should conform to the trend of natural collection, let the essence condense and nourish the five internal organs. Because "blood coagulates when it meets cold", elderly and infirm people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should pay special attention to daily cold protection and warmth. Young and middle-aged people should adhere to a regular life and proper physical exercise. "Exercise in winter and don't get sick." Usually, we should keep an optimistic and open-minded attitude, be calm and worry less, and spend the long winter happily.
