What are the taboos for folk colds?

It's cold in the cold weather, so we must avoid adding cold. I didn't know this when I was a child, and my hands and feet were often frostbitten. So we must avoid cold radiation, that is, don't touch anything that is too cold, and keep warm.

Taboo 2: Do not hurt yin and body fluid.

During the severe cold, "supporting yang" is the main health care, with the emphasis on "nourishing yin". Therefore, we must pay attention to the temperature and humidity, drink as much water as possible, especially in air-conditioned rooms, and replenish water without hurting the body fluid.

Taboo 3: Don't exercise excessively.

Many people mentioned that exercise is what people think of when they are cold. During the severe cold, we must avoid excessive exercise and excessive sweating, and avoid the essence of the sun coming out with sweat and damaging the body. "Wan Li is covered with cold clouds, and thousands of villages are covered with snow." Because of the cold weather, the elderly are already very weak, so we should pay more attention.

The custom of the great cold:

Eating rice cakes in the cold is a traditional dietary custom handed down from old Beijing. The main material for making rice cakes is glutinous rice. Because of its high sugar content, eating rice cakes can make people feel comfortable and warm, and rice cakes also mean "rising step by step", so people have the custom of eating rice cakes in the cold.

The principle of eating eight-treasure rice in severe cold is similar to that of rice cakes, which are all made of glutinous rice, and the eight-treasure rice also has the functions of nourishing the stomach, nourishing and keeping out the cold, so people especially like to cook eight-treasure rice to entertain guests in severe cold season.

Drinking chicken soup in the cold is generally respected by Nanjing people, because the local custom in Nanjing is to eat chicken. No matter what festival, an old hen will be cooked and then stewed into delicious and nourishing chicken soup.

There is no need to explain the reason for this custom, because glutinous rice is the most important food material in cold season, and the food made of glutinous rice will make people feel warm and help to drive away the cold. In addition, glutinous rice is sweet and delicious, so it is more popular with everyone.
