The solar term of fright is the time when spring thunder germinates. It is normal to thunder after thunder, which indicates that the weather is good and the grain is abundant.

As the saying goes, "It's shocking to hear Remy as mud" and "Thunder strikes the grain and rice is cheap", that is to say, you thunder and thunder, and Gu Mi has a bumper harvest, which is worthless. However, thunder was forbidden a few days ago.

There is a saying in Jiangsu that "people only bite when they eat dog food"; In other words, before the sting, there will be thunder, crops will fail, and food will not be enough. In some places, there is a saying that it is forbidden to thunder when it thunders. For example, there is a proverb in Guizhou, Hubei Province: When it thunders, insects and snakes swarm. "

The local people think that there are many poisonous insects in summer when they hear thunder on the day of fright. Therefore, in the evening before the fright, many cultivators will scatter a pattern similar to a bow and arrow on the ground with fire ashes, which is called "shooting insects". It is said that the effect is good.

During the period of fright, dormant insects begin to move, and according to natural phenology, microorganisms (including toxins) in the human body also begin to move after hibernation. Therefore, the human body needs to excrete toxins through sweat and body fluids. The core organs of water-liquid metabolism regulation in human body are lung, spleen and kidney.

The body should eat more things that tonify the kidney, strengthen the spleen and enhance immunity.

The most important thing to prevent colds is that the weather gets warmer obviously after the fright. Not only did all kinds of animals begin to move, but also microorganisms (including bacteria and viruses that can cause diseases) began to grow and reproduce, and various infectious diseases began to become popular.

Experts suggest that people should pay attention to the forecast of strong cold air activities by meteorological stations, be careful of changes in temperature and warmth, and prevent colds, flu and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
