Zhang Dongsheng, a health care expert, said that people should go to bed early and get up early in early autumn. "Going to bed early" can regulate the yang in the human body, while "getting up early" can stretch the lung qi and prevent it from over-convergence. Getting up early in autumn can also reduce the chance of thrombosis, which is of certain significance to prevent ischemic diseases such as cerebral thrombosis. Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to fall asleep at 9:00- 10 in autumn and get up at 5:00-6:00 in the morning.
There is a health-preserving proverb in China since ancient times, which says, "Spring covers the autumn and it freezes, and there are no miscellaneous diseases.". Therefore, dressing in autumn should also meet the needs of "storing yin and body fluid and collecting yang" and be properly frozen.
Health experts remind that "autumn freezing" cannot be simply understood as "cold weather without clothes". In the early autumn, the heat is not over, and the cool wind is coming. When the weather suddenly turns cold, it is necessary to add clothes appropriately, otherwise it will not only prevent diseases, but will bring disasters and get sick. It is advisable to "add clothes appropriately" to make yourself a little cold and not feel cold, instead of dressing warmly and wrapping tightly. Another meaning of "autumn freezing" is that in late autumn, the time to add clothes can be postponed appropriately, but it should be acceptable to you. Don't forget to chew autumn, bite autumn and paste autumn fat.
Folklore experts said that on this day in beginning of autumn, folk customs such as "gnawing autumn", "biting autumn" and "pasting autumn fat" were popular in China.
Wang Laihua, a professor at Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences, said that beginning of autumn is the beginning of autumn. After the long hot summer, people will have an appetite, so most of the folk customs in early autumn are related to eating.
On this day in early autumn, there is a custom of weighing in many places and comparing it with the weight in long summer. Because of the hot summer, people have no appetite and the food is light. After two or three months, they will be thinner. After beginning of autumn, the autumn wind started gradually, and my appetite opened up. I wanted to eat something good, supplement some nutrition and make up for the loss in summer. The best way to make up for it is to "paste the autumn fat" (also called "grab the autumn fat"): on this day in beginning of autumn, eat all kinds of meat, such as stew, barbecue and braised pork, and "paste the fat with meat".
Apart from beginning of autumn's "sticky autumn fertilizer", "biting autumn" and "gnawing autumn" are also popular among the people in China. On that day in beginning of autumn, city people will buy a watermelon and go home, and the family will chew around it, which means eating autumn. On the other hand, rural people chew autumn more boldly. They sat in small groups on the floor under the melon shed and in the shade, holding watermelons, sweet potatoes and corn cobs in their hands. "Eating autumn" expresses the joy of harvest.
"Eating autumn" is also called "biting autumn" in some places. Tianjin pays attention to eating watermelon or cantaloupe at that time in beginning of autumn. It is said that it can prevent diarrhea, also known as "biting autumn", which means that it is unbearable in hot summer. Take a bite when you get to beginning of autumn. In Jiangsu and other places, people also eat watermelons in beginning of autumn to "bite the autumn". It is said that prickly heat in autumn can be avoided. Nutrition experts warned that the weather began to turn from hot to cold at the beginning of autumn. At this time, the public should keep in mind the principle of "less spicy and more sour" in diet to help nourish the liver.
Li Yanling, director of the Nutrition Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that in autumn, we should try to eat less irritating foods such as onions, ginger, garlic, leeks and peppers, and spicy, fried, alcoholic and dry puffed foods, and eat more sour fruits and vegetables, which is helpful for nourishing the liver. People with weak spleen and stomach and indigestion can take lotus seeds, yam, lentils and other foods that have the effect of strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach.
Beginning of autumn changed people's lives accordingly. Because beginning of autumn is a naive harvest season, and it is also a period of great success for the human body. So taking pictures in spring has always been the main content that we can't ignore. The easiest thing to do is to "pick up the fan in autumn". Because "one autumn rain is cold", "ten autumn rains need to wear cotton". When it is cold, we should pay attention to "the white dew does not show, and the water does not swim after autumn." People even think that "beginning of autumn washes the stomach, but pushes the stomach without prickly heat". In the square where the tea and rice stopped, the ancients thought that "autumn should not be scattered", and we should remember that "autumn does not eat spicy food" and "autumn does not eat lungs"; It is also necessary to "sit early and stop early, and prosper the country by chicken." Sitting early should conform to the convergence of yang, and stopping early should stretch lung qi, so as to conform to the theory of taking pictures in spring.
"beginning of autumn" has a considerable influence on fortifications. In modern agricultural society, farmers attach no less importance to "beginning of autumn" than Gong Jie. Because "more thunder and less rain, half the harvest in winter", "If it is sunny in beginning of autumn, farmers don't have to work hard". It was the beginning of autumn. If you hear thunder, your work will be short. If the weather is fine in early autumn, there will be a bumper harvest of grain and a high yield. Similarly, "beginning of autumn" should also be the master in the morning and evening, "Everything is harvested in July and picked up in June". It didn't rain after "beginning of autumn", which was even more negligent. "If it rains in beginning of autumn, if it doesn't rain in beginning of autumn, everyone will be sad", because "if it doesn't rain in beginning of autumn, it will be an empty autumn, and everything will always be half done".
Beginning of autumn first brought about climate change. From this day on, the autumn was crisp, the moon was heavy and turbid, and the temperature gradually dropped. As the proverb goes, "The day of beginning of autumn is cold and dignified", "Autumn stands in the morning, and it is cold at night". However, there is a big difference between "beginning of autumn" and "Sooner or later". The so-called "early autumn is cool, and late beginning of autumn is warm to death" means that people have nothing to be pessimistic about "beginning of autumn", and sometimes it is divided into "beginning of autumn is in its prime, and there are tigers in its autumn". In fact, the biggest temperature drop in beginning of autumn is rain. "After a rain in autumn, there is majesty in white", which is the summary of people's temporary investigation. There is no doubt that we are sending away the autumn rain. "When it rains in early autumn, people are very happy, but when it rains in summer, ten thousand people are worried." Under reasonable circumstances, "beginning of autumn has a head in summer, and Sanqiu has little rain", which not only rains, but sometimes thunders. This book is dedicated to "autumn thunder begins, but it sees a hundred days of frost." After "beginning of autumn", every time it rains, the temperature will drop to a certain extent, and this is the way of "one autumn rain and one cold". However, there was no rain after beginning of autumn. Even if the sign says "The winter wind is tight before beginning of autumn, and the winter wind is not dripping after beginning of autumn", the most direct crossing effect is obvious: "It doesn't rain in warm autumn in beginning of autumn, and it stands in autumn and autumn".
From there, we can see that "beginning of autumn" is still a sign of harvest. As the saying goes, "Autumn is not cold, the seeds are not yellow", "beginning of autumn is yellow everywhere for ten days" and "beginning of autumn is barren for eighteen days", and a golden autumn is coming. At that time, we planned to do the least: "summer sowing grew eggplant and beginning of autumn ate eggplant"; "Autumn buckwheat contains white flowers at the beginning, and cold buckwheat closes in the wild"; "beginning of autumn picked peppers, the Millennium dipped in walnuts, first frost picked persimmons, and beginning of winter dipped in dates". While enjoying the harvest, we should also control the pace of work: "beginning of autumn walks slowly in July, and beginning of autumn refuels quickly in June" and "beginning of autumn stops collecting three to five fights". For those who enter and leave the sowing date, they should also pay attention after the "beginning of autumn": "Sesame begins with two beans, and millet comes later than the beginning of autumn"; "beginning of autumn cotton is well managed and pruning is essential"; "beginning of autumn sesame, die of old age without flowering".
