What should frost eat in early 2022?
1, nourishing duck meat, moisturizing in autumn
As the saying goes, "it is better to make up the winter than the first frost." People think that it is more important to make up autumn than winter. If frost makes up for winter first, it will get twice the result with half the effort. During the first frost, many places generally choose to eat instant-boiled mutton, boiled sheep's head, four or five old duck soup and so on. Siwu refers to four kinds of Chinese medicines: Radix Codonopsis, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata and Radix Astragali, all of which are tonics.
On the day of the first frost, people in southern Fujian and Taiwan Province Province will "stick on autumn fat". There is a proverb in southern Fujian that it is better to make up the first frost within one year. This little proverb fully expresses the people's attention to the first frost solar terms in Fujian and Taiwan. Therefore, every time there is a first frost, the ducks in Fujian and Taiwan will sell well, and sometimes they will be out of stock and in short supply. The bosses who are happy to sell ducks can't control their mouths.
In addition, many places have the custom of eating beef in the first frost. For example, in Yulin, Guangxi, residents here are used to eating fried noodles with beef and rice noodles for breakfast, fried radish with beef for lunch or dinner, or a beef brisket pot to replenish energy and pray for warmth and strength in winter. Besides beef, mutton and rabbit meat, it is also suitable for the first frost.
2, eat tomatoes, no runny nose.
In some places in China, red persimmons are eaten at the first frost. In the eyes of local people, it can not only keep out the cold and keep warm, but also nourish the bones and muscles, so it is a very good first frost food.
For example, Quanzhou folk have the custom of eating persimmons. Old Quanzhou people say: eating persimmons in the first frost will not cause runny nose. Xiamen people also eat. It is said that after eating persimmons at some time on the first frost, their faces will become as rosy as red persimmons. There is also a saying that if you don't eat persimmons this day, your lips will crack in winter.
Not only persimmons, but also many other fruits and vegetables have become particularly delicious at this time. Of course, there is a premise that they have to be "frosted". The vegetation and rocks are covered with frost, that is, frost. As the saying goes, "Frosted eggplant wilts", but "Frosted" vegetables such as spinach and wax gourd are particularly delicious, while "Frosted" fruits such as grapes and persimmons are very sweet.
This phenomenon has scientific basis. After frost appears on the surface of plants, plants will also begin to "resist cold". Rape, radish and other vegetables all contain starch, but the starch itself is not sweet and not easy to dissolve in water. After the first frost, the starch in rape and radish is hydrolyzed into maltose under the catalysis of amylase, and maltose is converted into glucose, which is sweet and soluble in water, so both rape and radish become sweet.
This is actually the survival skill of plants in wintering, because after starch is turned into glucose and dissolved in water, water is not easy to freeze.
3, white radish pieces, eaten raw.
In Shandong Province, there is an agricultural proverb "Summer sorghum, White Deer Valley, First Frost Pulls Radish", so Shandong people like to eat radishes during their stay in the first frost. There is also a saying of "first frost radish" in agricultural proverbs, which means that the temperature difference between morning and evening is large during the first frost, and frozen skin will appear if radish is not harvested in time in the open field, which will affect the quality and harvest of radish.
White radish is a kind of plant food with high nutritional value and low price. Since ancient times, there has been a folk proverb that "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer without a doctor's prescription", and there is also a saying that radish is called "talinum" in modern times. White radish also has the functions of appetizing and promoting digestion, relieving cough and resolving phlegm, and removing dryness and promoting fluid production.
Picky eaters try to eat some raw white radish during their stay in the first frost. White radish skin is white and opaque, and the meat is spicy and can only be cooked; The skin is transparent, and the meat that is not spicy and sweet can be eaten raw. Eating raw white radish, one is to lower the gas and relieve the circumference of abdominal distension; Second, the white radish enters the lungs, and the lungs should be in autumn. White radish can strengthen the "healthy" function of the lung, not only stop cough, but also promote the movement of the large intestine.
4, enjoy chrysanthemums, fight taro and ward off evil spirits.
In ancient times, there was a saying that "frost blooms chrysanthemums", so climbing mountains and enjoying chrysanthemums in the first frost became an elegant activity. There is a record in Wu Jun's "On the Continuation of Qi and Harmony" in Nanliang: "This grass is full of frost." Therefore, chrysanthemum was regarded by the ancients as "grass in season" and a symbol of vitality. The first frost season is when autumn chrysanthemums are in full bloom. Many places in China will hold chrysanthemum parties at this time to enjoy chrysanthemums and drink alcohol to show their respect and love for chrysanthemums.
In the eyes of the ancients, chrysanthemum has extraordinary cultural significance, and it is considered as the guest of prolonging life and the old grass. In addition, "Miscellaneous Five Elements Book" said that planting "Poplar and Cornus officinalis" beside the house will increase the life span and eliminate the harm. In ancient times, the cold in late autumn was often regarded as a ghost. Therefore, Cornus officinalis, which can drive away wind, evil spirits and cold, is regarded as a god to drive away evil spirits and treat diseases among the people.
People pay a lot of attention to the first frost festival in order to ward off evil spirits, welcome auspicious, live smoothly and harvest crops. For example, Yantai, Shandong and other places have the custom of welcoming frost in the western suburbs of the first frost festival.
In Gaoming, Guangdong, there is a custom of "sending taro ghosts" before the first frost. The local children built the Vatican Tower with tiles, put firewood in the tower and lit it. When the tiles burn red, they destroy the tower to stew taro, which is called "taro pot", and then throw the tiles outside the village, which is called "sending taro ghosts" to drive away the ominous. This shows people's simple and auspicious concept.
