Now that spring is cold, ask yourself what you want.

Crispy and warm Allium macrostemon wine, milk and rehmannia porridge.

Not only do you hate your mouth, but you can also adjust your sick abdomen.

This poem is written by Bai Juyi, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty whose ancestral home is Taiyuan, Shanxi. "Rehmannia porridge" mentioned in the poem is a good food for health preservation in spring.

Spring is the transitional season of cold winter and hot summer, and it is at the turning point of yin retreating from yang and cold turning into heat. At this time, the yang is gradually flourishing, but the yin and cold are not exhausted. Pay attention to the maintenance of the body, and cook porridge with proper Chinese medicine and rice, which can play a role in strengthening the body. Sun Simiao, the drug king, talks about how to keep fit in the first month of the lunar calendar: "There are three kinds of porridge in the month: one is Rehmannia porridge to make up for deficiency." Rehmannia glutinosa, the main raw material, is a commonly used Chinese medicine. Rehmannia glutinosa can nourish yin and moisten lung, nourish blood and produce sperm. In cold spring, it protects the heart and nourishes the lungs, which is beneficial to reduce the onset of heart and lung diseases in the elderly.
