There is a folk custom of "storing wax in winter to keep out the cold". After a light snow, the temperature plummeted and the weather became dry, which was a good time to process bacon. After the light snow festival, some farmers began to make sausages and bacon and enjoy food during the Spring Festival. Hangzhou people often use this solar term to start pickling salted duck and bacon.
Why does everyone like to marinate meat sauce at the beginning of Xiaoxue solar term? Experts explained that if the weather is hot, bacon and sauces can easily go bad and smell bad. After the light snow, the temperature is basically in a state of linear decline, and it is unlikely to rebound. At that time, these things were ready, which happened to be the Spring Festival, and it was gradually a custom to take out the goods of that year.
The traditional habit of processing and making bacon not only has a long history, but also has universality. Every year1February, that is, before "Xiaoxue" and "beginning of spring", every household has to kill pigs and sheep. Except for fresh meat enough for the Chinese New Year, the rest are preserved with fresh salt, with a certain proportion of spices such as pepper, star anise, cinnamon and clove.
After 7 ~ 15 days, hang it with palm leaf rope and drip dry water to make it. Choose cypress branches, sugarcane skins, Chinese toon skins or firewood to smoke and bake slowly, and then hang them up and smoke slowly with fireworks. Or hung on the top of the stove burning firewood, or hung on the oven burning firewood and smoked slowly with fireworks.
There are abundant forests and grass in the western regions, and almost every family burns firewood for cooking or heating, which is a favorable condition for bacon. Even city people don't kill pigs and sheep, but every December, we should pick the best white pork in the market, fat or thin, buy some, pickle it at home as usual, smoke a few slices of bacon and try it. If you don't burn firewood at home, ask your relatives and friends in the countryside to smoke a few.
2. The taste is awkward
Some places in the south also have the custom of eating Ciba in October of the lunar calendar. In ancient times, Ciba was a traditional festival sacrifice in the south of China, which was originally used by farmers to worship the cow god. There is a saying that "in October, Ciba Shao" refers to sacrificial events.
Ciba is made by steaming glutinous rice and stamping it with a special stone trough. It takes a lot of effort to make Ciba by hand, but it is soft and delicate and tastes excellent. There are pure glutinous rice, millet, glutinous rice mixed with millet and corn mixed with glutinous rice. In addition, glutinous rice and glutinous rice are ground into powder and poured into a carved wood carving mold, commonly known as "peeling". Making Ciba is very labor-intensive and requires several people to make it together.
As the agricultural proverb says, "October is full of enthusiasm." . Here, "burning" is a very vivid Hakka dialect, and "rolling" means rolling like a cart wheel, which means rolling up glutinous rice balls with chopsticks, and rolling around like a cart wheel with sesame seeds, peanuts and sugar; "Burning" means steaming. Eating Ciba requires scalding, beating and fighting (comparison) to be enjoyable and to appreciate the fun of farmers' "October cooking".
The origin of "light snow" solar terms is the natural climate law of light snow. According to the understanding and explanation of modern science, every year from October of the lunar calendar, around Gregorian calendar165438+1October 22, when the sun reaches 240 degrees of the yellow meridian, it is called the "light snow" solar term. In other words, the natural phenomenon "snow" is also prominent in reflecting the regularity of solar terms, that is, after the annual "beginning of winter" solar terms, the snow season begins in October of the lunar calendar and November of the solar calendar, and the snowfall is divided into different sizes. It is called "light snow" when the snowfall is small after winter every year. In fact, China's meteorological regulations: (1) When it snows, the horizontal visual distance is more than 1000 meters; (2) Snow less than or equal to 2.5 mm within 24 hours is called "light snow". According to the convention of ancient social life, people's understanding and explanation of "snow" is called "October" from lunar calendar 1 month to winter every year. The rain was thinned by the cold again, so it condensed into snow. Small words are not prosperous. "Therefore, since ancient times, people's understanding and explanation, closely combined with the needs of the" twenty-four solar terms "in agriculture, summarized Xiaoxue as" Xiaoxue "and included it as a solar term after" beginning of winter ". Wu Cheng, a scholar in Song and Yuan Dynasties, said in "Twenty-four Solar Terms" that every winter after beginning of winter on October 15th of the lunar calendar, bucket handle refers to the sea as a light snow. In mid-October, the rain was thin because of the cold, so it condensed into snow. Xiao Yi's words are not prosperous. After a while, the rainbow disappeared. Note to the Book of Rites: Yin and Yang meet to form a rainbow. At this time, Yin and Yang are extremely different, so the rainbow falls. Rainbow is said to be hidden without quality, that is, hidden under the breath. Second, the weather is rising, and third, the atmosphere is falling and blocked, turning into winter. Heaven and earth are in their proper places. Not until we meet. If they don't work, they will be blocked. The reason is winter. "

Ciba is a kind of food made by steaming and mashing glutinous rice, and it is a popular food in some areas of southern China. In ancient times, Ciba was a traditional festival sacrifice in southern China. It was originally used by farmers to worship the cow god.

Conclusion: The light snow solar terms, the decline in Yin Qi and the rise in Yang Qi, lead to the barrier between heaven and earth, the imbalance of yin and yang, the loss of vitality of everything, the occlusion of heaven and earth, and the turning into severe winter. At this time, people should pay attention to keep warm from the cold, pay attention to reasonable diet and warm up the kidneys, and the high calorie of Zanba can help people replenish their physical fitness in the cold winter.
The festival of heavy snow is a good time to "tonic", which is known as "tonic in winter, killing tigers in spring". Tonifying in winter can improve human immune function, promote metabolism and improve the phenomenon of chills. Tonifying in winter can also regulate the metabolism of substances in the body, so that the energy transformed by nutrients can be stored in the body to the maximum extent, which is helpful to the rise of yang in the body. As the saying goes, "three nine make up one winter, and the next year will not hurt." At this time, it is advisable to warm the yang, tonify the kidney and strengthen the bones, nourish yin and replenish essence. Dietary supplements in winter should provide digestible food rich in protein and vitamins. Before and after the solar term of heavy snow, a large number of citrus fruits were listed, such as Nanfeng tangerine, Guanxi pomelo and navel orange. Eating some properly can prevent rhinitis, eliminate phlegm and relieve cough. During the heavy snow, the days are short and the nights are long in all parts of the northern hemisphere. So there is an agricultural proverb, such as "heavy snow and light snow, endless cooking", which is used to describe that the days are so short that farmers have to cook almost three meals in a row. You can often drink ginger and jujube soup to resist the cold; Eat oranges, use peppermint oil to prevent rhinitis, eliminate phlegm and relieve cough.
What are the folk customs of heavy snow and solar terms? Heavy snow is the third solar term after winter. "Yi San Li" records: "Heavy snow is a festival, and Yu Xiaoxue's behavior is heavy snow. When the snow becomes hard, celebrate with heavy snow. " But the snowfall is not necessarily large. Like the light snow solar term, it is a solar term reflecting climate characteristics and precipitation changes. In fact, the precipitation entering the heavy snow has generally decreased. From the perspective of TCM health, heavy snow is a good time for tonic. When it comes to tonic, many people only understand it in a narrow sense, thinking that the so-called "tonic" means eating some foods with high nutritional value and using some aphrodisiac supplements. In fact, this is only one aspect of tonic, and tonic is a branch of health preservation. The so-called maintenance means maintenance, aftercare, aftercare, nourishing and aftercare; The so-called life is life, survival and growth. Specifically, it is necessary to cultivate the spirit, adjust the diet, exercise, be cautious about sexual intercourse, and adapt to the cold and warm. It is appropriate to cultivate the golden mean: the so-called golden mean is just right. Not too much, not too late. If you are too cautious, it will lead to the loss of aftercare and you will be at a loss. Doing a little work is afraid of wasting gas and hurting the spirit. If you have a little difference between cold and hot weather, you will stay indoors. When eating, I am afraid of being fat, sweet and tired, so I go on a diet and eat less. Such a state is bound by raising too much, which is not only harmful to the body, but also impossible to "do your best." 2. Don't care too much: comprehensive nursing should be moderate. Some people regard "tonic" as nutrition, so diet emphasizes nutrition and food must be supplemented; Daily life emphasizes comfort and rest; In addition, it is supplemented by nourishing drugs. Although food supplement, medicine supplement and rest all belong to the category of health preservation, excessive use will affect health. Just like some people eat too much, they will be overnourished, and if they eat too much, they will be restless and restless. If they eat too much medicine, they will rise and fall of yin and yang, which will make the body's metabolism unbalanced and counterproductive. Therefore, in the nursed back to health, we should adopt the methods of combining dynamic and static, reinforcing and reducing, and combining form with spirit, and strive to "…… live longer than the immortal, and Wang Qiao will compete for the year".
