According to ancient records, Laba porridge is made of yellow rice, white rice, glutinous rice, millet and peeled jujube paste. And dyed with dyed peach kernels, almonds, melon seeds and peanuts. These foods are warm products, which have the effects of regulating the spleen and stomach, invigorating the middle energizer, invigorating qi and nourishing blood, expelling cold and strengthening the body, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst.

2. Eat soybean sprouts. According to "Miscellanies of Jinmen", there was a custom of eating soybean sprouts in Tianjin in the old days. Soybean sprouts are a specialty of Tianjin, made of Chinese cabbage buds. In winter to the future, cut off the stems and leaves of cabbage, leaving only the heart of cabbage, about two inches from the ground, covered with manure, airtight. After half a month, it is crisp and tender, which makes up for the shortage of vegetables in winter. Modern people's living standards have improved, and all kinds of vegetables and meat are available all year round. They are no longer worried about the scarcity of vegetables in winter as in the past.

3. Draw the number. The slight cold solar term originally originated in the Yellow River Basin. It is said that in the early years, every farmer in the Yellow River valley used the "Nine-Nine Cold Map" to keep out the cold and keep fit. The "Relief Picture of 99 Cold" is a double-hook red calligraphy "weeping willows in front of the pavilion and cherishing the spring breeze", all of which are traditional Chinese characters, and each word has nine strokes * * * 998 1 stroke. From the solstice of winter, one stroke is filled in the order of strokes every day, and one word is filled in September every year. Until the spring returns to the earth after September, a "99 Cold Relief Map" is completed.

4. Eat glutinous rice. Guangdong folk proverb "slight cold and severe cold are cold without wind", and it is a traditional custom to eat glutinous rice in the morning for slight cold and severe cold. According to the folk tradition, the sugar content of glutinous rice is higher than that of rice, and it feels warm after eating, which is conducive to driving out the cold. Traditional Chinese medicine theory holds that glutinous rice has the effect of tonifying middle energizer and benefiting qi, and it is most suitable to eat glutinous rice in cold season.
