The return of the mysterious bird: "Twenty-four solar terms": "The mysterious bird knows the vernal equinox (at the beginning of the vernal equinox, the mysterious bird arrives; At this time, Yan came from the north and moved to the south. Yan is a bird in the south, so he came back.
A flock of birds breeds shame: three or more animals are a flock, and there are many people who live in groups. Note in the Book of Rites: "Those who are ashamed will eat soup." Those who mention shame hide it and wait for the winter moon. Shame is the original word of shame. In ancient times, "shame" and "shame" were universal. Raising shame is a Chinese word, and the pinyin y m ngxi \u refers to the stored food "Yi Zhou Shu Shi Xun": "On the day of the white dew, the geese come, on the fifth day, the mysterious birds return, and on the fifth day, the birds raise shame. You Zhu once explained: "Those who are honest and ashamed hoard winter food, as if they are hiding precious shame. "
Plants began to have dew in the Millennium weather. After entering the Millennium solar term, summer monsoon was gradually replaced by winter wind, cold air turned to attack, and warm air gradually retreated. Cold air going south in batches will often bring a certain range of cooling. People like to use the proverb "it's cold in the autumn night in the white dew" to describe the situation that the temperature drops rapidly.
At this time, the precipitation in northern China is obviously reduced, and the autumn is crisp and dry. During this period, the first autumn rain in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River can often alleviate the previous water shortage. However, if the cold air meets a typhoon, or the cold and warm air are evenly matched, the two sides are in a dilemma, and heavy rain or low temperature and continuous rain are not good for the growth of autumn crops. Continuous rainy weather often occurs in the eastern part of Southwest China, South China and West China. There may be heavy rain caused by tropical weather system (typhoon) in the southeast coast, especially in the south China coast. In addition, autumn drought, forest fire and first frost may also occur in some areas at this time. If the summer droughts in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, West China and South China are not nourished by autumn rain, summer and autumn droughts may all form. There is a proverb that says, "There is no drought in spring, and the drought in autumn is halved. Building houses in spring drought and breaking grain in autumn drought. " In some northern areas, such as Shaanxi, Shanxi, Gansu, North China and other places in the northwest, autumn precipitation is inherently less. If severe autumn drought occurs, it will not only affect the harvest of autumn crops, but also delay the sowing and emergence growth of autumn sowing crops and affect the harvest of the following year. In addition, with the autumn drought, especially the dry air and the increasing wind in mountainous forest areas, the forest fire risk in autumn began to enter a period of high incidence.
Frost is caused by the invasion of cold air. The daily average temperature is above 0℃, and the surface temperature drops below 0℃. The water between crop cells freezes, constantly absorbing the water in the cells, leading to cell dehydration and crop withering or death. Sometimes, although there is no frost on the surface of plants, crops will still be frozen because the surface temperature is below 0℃. This phenomenon is called black frost and it is also a kind of frost.
The legendary hero of water control is a sacrifice offered by the people in the Millennium solar terms, and the fishermen on Taihu Lake are called "water gods". Every year on the eighth day of the first month, Tomb-Sweeping Day, the seventh day of July and the Millennium, incense parties are held to commemorate Yu Wang.

In the old days, Nanjing people attached great importance to the "coming" and "going" of solar terms, and gradually formed solar terms customs with local characteristics in Nanjing. Speaking of Bailuyuan, the old Nanjing who loves tea has a special liking for "Bailuyuan Tea". At this time, the tea tree is in the excellent growth period after the summer heat. Bailu tea is neither as fresh and tender as spring tea, nor as dry and bitter as summer tea, but it has a unique sweet and mellow taste, which is especially loved by old tea customers. Moreover, the spring tea stored at home has basically been "consumed", and at this time, Bailu tea is being picked up, so before and after Bailu, a tea customer asked someone to buy some Bailu tea.
Bailu rice wine has always been a custom in Zixing Xingning, Sandu and Liaojiang. Every year on the Millennium Festival, every family will make wine and drink "local wine" when receiving guests.

Bailu wine is made from glutinous rice, sorghum and other grains, which is slightly sweet, so it is called "Bailu rice wine".
Yellow rice wine custom of Hunan Bailu. Every year on the White Dew Festival, every household treats guests with white dew rice wine called "earth wine", which is sweet and moist and most suitable for autumn.

White dew health guide clothing Chinese medicine has the saying that "white dew does not show, cold dew does not show feet", which means that after the solar terms of white dew, you can't go shirtless when wearing clothes. Especially the old, the weak and the sick, we should pay more attention to adding and subtracting clothes with the change of temperature, and it is best to take a coat when going out. The fabric is made of silk, pure cotton or blended fabric, which is cool and dry. Also pay attention to keep your waist, abdomen and knees warm, and don't "deliberately" expose your back and navel. Close the window at night, put on long-sleeved clothes to sleep, and put a thin quilt at the bedside.
Because the yin rises and the yang falls after the "white dew", the clothes can be thinner, thinner and not exposed, and properly "frozen in autumn". However, "autumn freezing" varies from person to person. It is not suitable for infants who are growing and developing, the elderly and infirm with poor body regulation function, and the weak. In addition, people with bronchitis, asthma, coronary heart disease, etc. are not suitable for "autumn freezing". Once they catch a cold, it is easy for them to relapse.
After autumn, don't take out the autumn clothes in the closet to wear. You'd better dry them first. In addition, the autumn clothes brought back from the dry cleaners should not be worn immediately, but should be put in a ventilated place to dry, and then worn after the residual dry cleaning agent is completely volatilized. In addition, "cold starts from the feet", people with poor cold tolerance should pay attention to keep their feet warm after the white dew, try to reduce wearing open-toed sandals and slippers, and remember not to walk with wet feet in rainy days to prevent discomfort caused by cold invasion.
After eating for thousands of years, the temperature began to drop, the weather turned cold, and symptoms such as dry mouth, dry lips, dry throat and dry skin followed. These are typical "autumn dryness" manifestations. In the Millennium, dryness attacks the lungs, and the diet should be based on invigorating the spleen and moistening dryness.
It is recommended to eat more pears, tremella, honey, lily, medlar, radish, bean products and so on. Eat more orange vegetables such as pumpkins and carrots. In addition, you need to eat some green leafy vegetables to supplement vitamin C, such as kale, spinach and cauliflower. Suitable meals in the Millennium season include lotus seed porridge, gingko chicken and so on.
In regulating diet, we should choose light, nutritious, less irritating or non-irritating food, avoid cold and raw diet, ensure a proper amount of fresh vegetables, keep the stool unobstructed, eat less yellow croaker, hairtail, shrimp, crab and fat, and quit smoking and drinking. In the Millennium, people are more prone to symptoms of spleen and stomach weakness and indigestion. Therefore, eat more porridge that is easy to absorb and has nourishing effect.
The house you live in should keep enough sunshine, open as many windows as possible, let the indoor and outdoor air circulate, and keep the indoor air clean and fresh; Don't go to places with serious air pollution. In addition, you can put a basin of water in the bedroom, or turn on the humidifier to increase the indoor humidity, which is very effective in relieving autumn dryness.
If conditions permit, some green flowers can be placed indoors, which not only makes the environment full of vitality, but also purifies the air and promotes health. Try to turn off the air conditioner when you sleep. At this time, the temperature in most parts of the north is suitable at night, so it is best to sleep at natural temperature to prevent cough caused by air conditioning wind. When the weather is fine, you should dry the bedding and clothes in time.
Judging from the Millennium, citizens should pay attention to nourishing kidney qi. They can insist on soaking their feet in warm water at night, and the water should not pass through their ankles 15 to 30 minutes. It's best to soak their feet until they are slightly hot. Rub your ears and waist at the same time, and your kidneys begin to understand your ears. Moreover, the ear has a dense reflection area, which touches every organ of the whole body. Therefore, rubbing your ears often is a good health care method.
Morning is the best time for exercise. At this time, the climate is pleasant, the sky is crisp and the exercise is suitable. You can choose different sports to exercise according to your personal situation, such as climbing mountains, playing Tai Ji Chuan and swimming. Long-term persistence can enhance cardiopulmonary function and make the biological clock naturally transition to the next solar term. While doing the above exercises, you can also cooperate with some "static exercises" to achieve the combination of dynamic and static, and the dynamic and static are harmonious.
After the Millennium, due to the increasing temperature difference between day and night, we should try to reduce going out in the morning fog, and the elderly or people with respiratory diseases should not exercise in the morning fog.
Don't forget to prevent travel diseases when traveling in autumn. Dry air in autumn is a high incidence of infectious diseases, so we must pay attention to prevent infectious diseases during the journey. For example, avoid talking to coughing passengers on trains and buses, ventilate regularly, arrange travel time reasonably, and try to avoid going out at noon. In addition, allergic people should pay attention to pollen allergy and bring some desensitizing drugs.
In autumn, flowers and trees begin to wither, and people are easily sad. So after the Millennium, we should keep a happy mood. For example, communicate with friends more to avoid depression.
Chinese medicine believes that laughter can spread lung qi, regulate human function, eliminate fatigue and restore physical strength. Laughter can make the lungs inhale enough clear air, exhale turbid air, accelerate blood circulation, and harmonize heart, lung, qi and blood. Laughing often is also a kind of fitness exercise, which can stretch chest muscles and increase vital capacity.
Food supplement is also a good way to relieve bad emotions. Autumn diet pays attention to nourishing the liver, drinking chrysanthemum lotus seed tea to clear the liver and relieve depression; At the same time, eating more foods containing more phosphorus, such as walnuts and fish, can also help people alleviate the "gloomy" mood brought by rainy days.
Beware of diseases in the Millennium. Beware of bronchial asthma in the Millennium. The incidence of bronchial asthma is very high, so we should do a good job of prevention. At this time, the autumn is crisp, which is a good time for people to travel. However, many tourists often have symptoms similar to "cold" during their travels. In fact, it is not necessarily a "cold", but may be a "hay fever". There are two basic factors in the onset of "hay fever": one is the allergy of human body constitution, and the other is the contact and inhalation of external allergens more than once. The focus of this solar term is to strengthen physical exercise, pay attention not to catch a cold sooner or later, and actively prevent allergic diseases.
During the Millennium, nasal diseases, asthma and bronchial diseases should be prevented. In particular, patients with the above-mentioned diseases caused by physical allergies should be more cautious in diet adjustment. Usually, you should eat less or no fish and shrimp, raw and cold stewed pickles and spicy, sour, salty and sweet foods.
Beware of gastrointestinal diseases. After thousands of years, there are often typhoons in autumn wind and autumn rain. During this period, the diseases that are easy to occur and spread are mainly intestinal infectious diseases such as bacillary dysentery, typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever and diarrhea, which is the second peak of intestinal infectious diseases in the whole year, and the incidence is more than the first peak in summer.
The folk proverb "Autumn melons are bad for the stomach" means that if beginning of autumn continues to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables raw in the future, it will easily lead to gastrointestinal diseases. In summer, people often eat a lot of fruits and vegetables raw for heatstroke prevention and cooling. "Sweet" melons and fruits are easy to eat, which hinders the movement and digestive function of the spleen and stomach. If beginning of autumn eats a lot of fruits and vegetables raw, it will certainly help damp evil, damage spleen yang and make spleen yang weak, then acute and chronic gastrointestinal diseases such as diarrhea and dysentery will follow. Therefore, beginning of autumn should eat less fruits and vegetables, especially those with deficiency of spleen and stomach.
Prevention of autumn dryness In the solar term of the Millennium, it is necessary to prevent autumn dryness, which is harmful to the body, easy to consume body fluids, and has symptoms such as dry mouth, dry lips, dry nose, dry throat, dry stool and chapped skin. There are many ways to prevent autumn dryness. You can eat more foods rich in vitamins, and you can also choose some Chinese medicines, such as ginseng and adenophora, which have a good effect on relieving autumn dryness.
After the prevention of cold and white dew, the yin is gradually aggravated, and the autumn wind is cool. The Millennium is a solar term, indicating that the weather is getting cold. Although the temperature can still reach more than 30 degrees during the day, it will still be cold at night, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. If it rains, the temperature drops more obviously, and people are prone to catch a cold. Therefore, we should pay attention to adding clothes and quilts in the morning and evening, not topless, and not greedy when sleeping. The so-called "don't show your body in the white dew, remind you in the morning and evening" just illustrates this truth.
Skin itching is usually mainly in the trunk, but also common in the inner thigh and the flexion side of the calf and around the joints. Itching is paroxysmal, with different severity and duration, which is easy to be induced or aggravated when eating irritating food or the temperature rises. This season, don't take a bath too often, and don't use alkaline soap or shower gel. Keeping the stool unobstructed can eliminate allergens accumulated in the body and avoid inducing itching.
Habitual constipation is dry in autumn, and defecation will be difficult to discharge, which is characterized by reduced defecation times and hard feces. Patients are often accompanied by abdominal distension in the left lower abdomen and poor desire to defecate. In the dry season of autumn, medical experts suggest that people with habitual constipation drink at least 2000 ~ 3000 ml of warm water every day.
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are changeable in autumn, sometimes cold and sometimes hot, sometimes warm and sometimes cold, which makes people hard to prevent.
In this season, the incidence of myocardial infarction has increased significantly. At the turn of autumn and winter, the blood pressure of hypertensive patients is often 20 mm Hg higher than that in summer, which is easy to cause obstacles in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular blood circulation. Preventing colds in autumn is very important for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
After acute gastroenteritis enters autumn, the digestive function of human body gradually declines, and the intestinal disease resistance is also weakened. If you continue to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables raw, or directly eat drinks and food taken out of the refrigerator, you may have acute and chronic gastrointestinal diseases such as diarrhea, dysentery and loose stool.
Gout weather turns cold in late autumn, and the feeding center of human body is stimulated by cold, which causes appetite and appetite increase. Eat more fat and sweets, and there will be too much uric acid in the body, which is prone to gout. Here, we especially remind gout patients that in order to prevent urine concentration at night, we can increase the amount of drinking water before going to bed or at midnight.
Duodenal ulcer turns cold with the climate, people's appetite will be strong, which will increase the burden of gastrointestinal function and also lead to the attack of duodenal ulcer. Therefore, people who have had this kind of medical history should try to eat less food such as big fish and big meat, and the diet structure should be light. Pay attention to the freshness when eating seafood barbecue.
