Sting, also called gas sting, is the third of the 24 solar terms. When the sun reaches 345 degrees, it will cross the Gregorian calendar on March 5-6. The following are the main points of diet and health care that I have compiled for you, hoping to help you.

What food does the sting eat?

taro

Hakka people in southern Jiangxi and western Fujian should cook taro and stir-fry soybeans in hot water on the day of fright (representing the elimination of all kinds of pests). No need to fry soybeans. We cook taro with sugar, which is simple, coarse grains, delicious and healthy.

pear

At this time, the temperature is still low, and it is also a solar term in spring. At this time, you should eat more throat-moistening food. Pears are cold and sweet, which can moisten the lungs and relieve cough. There is a folk saying that people are frightened to eat pears, which means to be isolated from pests, and there are many ways to eat pears, which can be eaten raw, cooked or juiced.

Leek pie

Many people will eat leek cakes when they are frightened, because leeks are pungent and slightly sour, and the volatile substances contained in them can help people dissipate fatigue, promote blood circulation and help people disinfect. If we use leek juice for external use, we can eliminate the poison of snakes, scorpions and pests. If bugs crawl into people's ears, we can pour leek juice into people's ears to drive them away.

Fried beans

In some areas of Shandong province, people will burn pancakes in the yard on this day, which means killing pests with raw smoke. But in some areas of Shaanxi, people will eat fried beans. On this day, people will soak soybeans in salt water and stir fry them, making a crackling sound, which also symbolizes that pests are fried in the pot.

In ethnic minority areas, Yao people in Jinxiu county, Guangxi eat "fried insects" on the day of fright. After the "fried insects" were done, they were placed in the hall, and the family sat around and ate, shouting "Eat fried insects, eat fried insects!" There will be a game in the fun place. Whoever eats fast and chews loudly will be congratulated for his contribution to eliminating pests. In fact, the "worm" is corn, which is symbolic.

egg

Besides eating pears, there is also a folk saying that people are afraid of eating eggs. It is said that it is because the white tiger is sacrificed on this day, and the white tiger usually grins. Only feed it with eggs, and it won't hurt people if you are full. After evolution, the eggs that were originally fed to the white tiger are now fed to people themselves.

corn

In ethnic minority areas, Yao people in Jinxiu county, Guangxi eat "fried insects" on the day of fright. After the "fried insects" were done, they were placed in the hall, and the family sat around and ate, shouting "Eat fried insects, eat fried insects!" There will be a game in the fun place. Whoever eats fast and chews loudly will be congratulated for his contribution to eliminating pests. In fact, the "worm" is corn, which is symbolic.

Eat scorpion poison

Shaanxi Fengxiang cooks Yuanxiao, called jiaozi Scorpion; The dry cakes made at the beginning of fishing in Shaanxi are taken out and distributed to everyone at this time, called biting scorpion tails; Pei county, Jiangsu province will add sugar to the fried soybeans for children to eat, so as not to give birth to scorpions. This is called eating scorpion claws. These customs are intended to alert people to the dangers of scorpions. There are many scorpions in northern China, so the custom about scorpions is quite popular. The same is true in the northwestern frontier areas such as Turpan, Xinjiang. The local scorpion is extremely harmful, and the story of scorpion essence is still circulating among the people.

Key points of Jing Zhe's health care.

First, eat moderately.

1, eat more light food and fresh vegetables rich in protein and vitamins.

The weather is obviously warmer, and the diet should be mild. It is necessary to conform to the nature of the liver, help the temper, and make the five internal organs calm. It is advisable to eat more light foods and fresh vegetables rich in protein and vitamins, such as bamboo shoots, spinach, celery, chicken, eggs, milk, duck blood, aloe, radish, bitter gourd, fungus, rape, yam, lotus seeds, tremella and other foods.

Step 2 eat more pears

It's warm and cold at first, and the climate is dry, which makes people thirsty and cough easily. Raw pears are cold and sweet, and have the effects of moistening the lungs and relieving cough, nourishing yin and clearing heat. There is a folk custom of eating pears to win by surprise. Pears can be eaten raw, steamed, squeezed, baked or boiled.

3. Eat less animal fat food.

The diet should be light, greasy foods should be eaten as little as possible, and irritating foods such as peppers, onions, garlic and peppers should also be eaten less.

Second, disease prevention is good.

"righteous memory is evil." This means that in the case of vigorous healthy qi, evil spirits are not easy to invade the body, and diseases will not occur. Therefore, it is very important to strengthen physical fitness and improve human disease resistance. In addition, mentally, we should maintain a good state of mind of being happy and calm, and avoid getting angry, otherwise, excessive liver qi will easily lead to dizziness, stroke, mental illness and so on.

Spring corresponds to the liver, and poor health will hurt the liver. Frightening season is the high incidence season of liver diseases, and influenza, meningitis, chickenpox, herpes zoster and epidemic hemorrhagic fever are all prone to epidemic outbreaks in this solar term, so we should guard against such diseases.

Third, there are ways to exercise.

Huangdi Neijing said: "Spring March is called Chen. Heaven and earth are born and everything is glorious. Lie down and leave early at night, stride in court, put on your hair and walk slowly to make a living. " This means that when everything comes back to life in spring, you should go to bed late and get up early, and take a slow walk outdoors, which is good for your health. So don't be too strenuous in this season. After all, people have just recovered from the cold in winter, which needs to be done step by step. Going out for an outing, having an outing and flying kites are all good choices.

Fourth, the degree of life.

After the fright, the temperature rises gradually, the climate warms, and people will become more and more sleepy, which is also commonly known as "spring sleep". Therefore, only by ensuring a good sleep can we have a healthy and energetic work life.

1, give up your distractions half an hour before going to bed, and feel calm, which is conducive to falling asleep.

2, a little physical activity is conducive to the stretching and relaxation of the body.

3. Wash your face and feet before going to bed, massage your face and rub your feet. It can promote blood-gas circulation, warm and nourish viscera, soothe the nerves, relieve the fatigue of the day and help sleep.

What are the taboos of the shocking solar terms?

1, Sacrifice to the White Tiger

In ancient folklore, the white tiger is the tongue and the god of right and wrong. On this day every year, it will come out for food and bite. If you commit a crime, you will often be made waves by evil villains, which will hinder your future development and lead to all kinds of difficulties. In order to protect themselves, everyone sacrificed the white tiger on the day of shock. The so-called white tiger sacrifice refers to the white tiger painted with paper for sacrifice. Paper tigers are usually yellow and black, with a pair of fangs painted on the corners. When offering sacrifices, you need to feed it with the blood of the fat pig, so that it won't hurt people after eating it, and then put raw pork on the mouth of the paper tiger, so that it is covered with oil and water and can't open its mouth to tell people right and wrong.

2. "Beating Little People"

Generally, it is carried out in dark places such as fork in the road, bridge bottom, roadside and hillside. It is said that such a place is more lively, more likely to provoke ghosts and gods and restrain villains. Although beating villains can also be carried out in normal times, it has special significance. It is said that the effect is the best on this day of shock. Because when they are frightened, both pests and beneficial insects come out to move, but at this time their strength is still relatively weak, and there is no climate, so it is easier to fight. So is the villain. Giving a head-on attack before the villain becomes a climate can play a role in suppressing the villain, hitting the villain and keeping the villain away.

3. "No engagement, no marriage" before and after the shock.

Legend has it that Lei Gong often goes out on business, and thunder rumbles from time to time, so it is forbidden to hold marriages between people during this period. If there is an offender, he will be punished by Lei Gong, and his marriage will be improper and his family will be unhappy. Therefore, in order to avoid taboos, there is generally no blind date, engagement or marriage during this period.
