The autumnal equinox, like the vernal equinox, is the earliest solar term established by the ancients. At this time, the length of day and night is equal. From then on, the nights in the northern hemisphere will become longer and longer.

According to the lunar calendar, beginning of autumn is the beginning of autumn, and the first frost is the end of autumn. The autumnal equinox is exactly half of these 90 days.

From 20 18, the "autumnal equinox" has a new historical significance-China Farmers Harvest Festival. It aims to celebrate the hard work of farmers and convey the happiness brought by harvest.

The autumnal equinox is not only the starting point of "autumn harvest and winter storage", but also the end point of "spring ploughing and summer sowing", as an agricultural proverb in North China says: "The white dew is early, the cold dew is late, and the autumnal equinox is the time to plant wheat."

This festival represents the importance and inheritance of the "twenty-four solar terms", and also represents the life wisdom of China people who fear nature.

Wait for the thunder to stop.

Wait three times and the water will dry.

Maintain lung qi

After the autumnal equinox, the temperature plummeted, the rain began to be frequent, and the cold hit people. If the human body's resistance is poor, a little carelessness will cause dry mouth, dry cough, and even respiratory diseases such as colds and asthma.

At this time, we must pay more attention to the maintenance of lung qi, add clothes in time according to the weather changes, especially for the elderly, children and people with weak constitution, and pay more attention to keep warm.

Eat less cold food, drink more water, and eat more foods such as lotus root, grapes, tremella, pears and so on.

Preserve the stomach

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the autumn wind is getting tighter and colder, and it is often cool and dry. Changes in temperature and coolness can also easily lead to frequent stomach problems.

The stomach and intestines are very sensitive to cold stimulation. If you don't protect yourself and pay attention to the rules of diet and life, it will lead to gastrointestinal diseases. Patients with chronic gastritis should pay more attention to keeping their stomachs warm.

Beware of "heart failure"

Autumn equinox season, falling leaves, all kinds of depressed scenes are easy to make people sad, sensitive and suspicious, which is very unfavorable to people's physical and mental health over time, and even causes so-called "heart failure" symptoms such as dizziness and palpitation.

Therefore, we should adjust our mentality and guard against "heart failure".

Treat people and things around you with a peaceful attitude, not too sensitive; Under pressure and pain, we should communicate more with friends and relatives and do more exercise in our spare time, which is not only beneficial to our health, but also can broaden our minds.

As the saying goes, "Spring covers the autumn". Suffering from some moderate cold in autumn can remind the body to start to converge yang, which is beneficial to the collection of yang in winter, but not everyone can tolerate freezing.

Three parts cannot be frozen.

⊙ The waist can't be frozen, and it is easy to cause cold pathogens to invade the waist and abdomen, leading to pain in the waist and abdomen;

⊙ Abdomen can't be frozen, abdomen belongs to yin, spleen belongs to yin, and you can't catch cold at all. Cold can cause abdominal pain and diarrhea, and the spleen and stomach are damaged for a long time;

⊙ The back can't be frozen, and cold on the back is the easiest way to invade the lungs and cause a cold and fever.

Four kinds of people should not be frozen in autumn.

(1) those with deficiency and cold constitution should not be frozen in autumn;

(2) Children with weak constitution, children prone to colds and asthma, and children with cold constitution are not suitable for "autumn freezing";

③ Don't get cold in autumn during illness;

(4) it is not suitable to be frozen in autumn when the weather is hot and cold.
