1. The first frost time is 10. On Monday, the fourth day of the ninth lunar month, the god of wealth is due south, Niu Chong.
The first frost came on the 23rd. Water vapor in the air condenses into white crystals on the ground, which is called "frost". The first frost solar term means that the weather is getting colder and the first frost appears. It is the last solar term in autumn, which also means that winter is about to begin. Dr. Zheng reminded that the solar term from the first frost to beginning of winter is often the season with the fastest temperature drop in a year.
Second, the characteristics of the first frost The first frost is the eighteenth of the twenty-four solar terms, the last solar term in autumn and the transitional solar term from autumn to winter. On the 23rd or 24th of Gregorian calendar 10 year 10, when the sun reaches the longitude of 2 10, it is the first frost solar term. With the arrival of the first frost, crops that are not hardy have been harvested or will soon stop growing, and the vegetation has begun to turn yellow, showing a scene of late autumn. During the first frost, the southern part of China entered the busy season of autumn harvest and autumn planting, while the first frost generally appeared in the Yellow River basin.
People often say that "the first frost is frost-free, and there will be famine in the coming year". In Yunnan, where China's ethnic minorities live in compact communities, there is even a saying that "there is no frost at first, and there is no chaff on the head". Another way of saying it is: "When the first frost comes, the rice is Man Cang", which reflects the working people's attention to this solar term.
Third, the custom of the first frost The first frost is the last solar term in autumn. There are customs such as exorcising evil spirits and sweeping graves in various places to pray for good weather, happiness and well-being. For example, in some places such as Yantai, people will go to the western suburbs to meet the frost on this day; In Gaoming, Guangdong, there is a custom of "sending taro ghosts" before the first frost. In the first frost season, people will build Hanoi Tower with tiles, put dry wood in the tower and light it until the tiles are red, then push down Hanoi Tower, heat taro with red tiles, which is called "taro pot" locally, and finally throw the tiles outside the village, which is called "taro to send ghosts". In this way, people are eager to meet good luck.
Fourth, the first frost and five elements of Neo-Confucianism believe that all substances in the world are produced by the movement of five basic substances: wood, fire, earth, gold and water. There is a "biological restraint" relationship between these five substances, which maintains the ecological balance of nature and the coordinated balance of human physiology.
The first frost is the season of late autumn, the five elements belong to gold, the five seasons (spring, summer, long summer, autumn and winter) belong to autumn, and the five internal organs (liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney) belong to lung. According to the point of view of TCM health preservation, it is necessary to supplement in four seasons (spring supplement, summer supplement, long summer supplement and autumn supplement).
Five, the first frost three Hou seventy-two Hou about the first frost "three Hou". "The first jackals sacrifice animals" means that jackals should store food for the winter from the first frost; "Second, the vegetation is yellow", at this time, the vegetation is yellow and the leaves are all over the ground; "Three stings change salt", and animals ready to hibernate began to hide in caves for the winter. At this time, nature is in the transition stage to winter, so we humans should put aside the "autumn freeze" and make some preparations for a healthy winter.
Sixth, the first frost health care In the first frost season, health care is particularly important. There is a folk proverb that "it is better to make up the first frost in one year", which shows the influence of this solar term on us. Late autumn is a period of high incidence of respiratory diseases. Dr. Zheng reminded his friends that eating more pears, apples, olives, ginkgo, onions, mustard greens, radishes and other foods with the functions of promoting fluid production, moistening dryness, dispersing lung qi and relieving cough, rubbing points (on both sides of the nose) and practicing the word "hiss" will help prevent respiratory diseases.
In addition, the first frost is cool and the transition to winter is the peak of recurrence of chronic gastritis and gastroduodenal ulcer. For the elderly, the first frost solar terms are prone to "old cold legs", and chronic bronchitis is also prone to recurrence or aggravation. In the first frost diet, you should eat more pears, apples, ginkgo, onions and mustard (potherb mustard).
First of all, first frost's diet is based on the principle of light tonic, especially in the relationship between the four seasons (spring tonic, summer tonic, long summer tonic, autumn tonic and winter tonic), which mainly focuses on nourishing the stomach. First of all, Frost's dietary supplements should be differentiated according to the taste and sexual orientation of food.
During the first frost solar term, frost spread all over vegetation, soil and stones, commonly known as frosting. Frosted vegetables, such as spinach and wax gourd, are particularly delicious, and frosted fruits, such as grapes, are very sweet. Chestnuts should be eaten in the first frost diet. Chestnut has the effects of nourishing stomach and spleen, tonifying kidney and strengthening tendons, promoting blood circulation and stopping bleeding, relieving cough and resolving phlegm, and is a good tonic for the first cream. On the day of the first frost, people in Fujian and Taiwan should take supplements. There is a proverb in southern Fujian that "it is better to make up the first frost than to make up for one year".
Dr. Zheng Weijian specially reminded us that the first frost is a good opportunity for us to keep healthy and transport, so friends should not ignore this solar term. Dr. Zheng suggested hanging a Chinese knot in his handbag or car during the first frost. If you want to fall in love, you can make a wish to the south at home on the first frost day, which is very clever. If you feel that your fortune is not good and your marriage is not good, then Dr. Zheng suggests that you adjust it. Because conditioning is the last word, feng shui is around us.
