February 18 of the lunar calendar is the solar term of the vernal equinox. The vernal equinox is the fourth of the 24 solar terms. The so-called vernal equinox is to divide the spring into two halves and divide it equally around the world day and night, so it is called the vernal equinox. In ancient times, the vernal equinox was also called "Japan-China" and "Midspring Night". The vernal equinox has been a very important festival since ancient times, and people will judge the next weather by the climate of this day.

The vernal equinox is divided into three stages. Waiting for the arrival of the mysterious bird means the return of the swallow; Second, thunder is the sound, yin and yang are thin, and thunder is the vibration. It is the sound of yang and the sound after the vernal equinox. As soon as the electricity is turned on, the day of lightning and thunder will come. Do you know what the vernal equinox and solar terms eat? According to experts, remember to "eat three things and do three things" to increase resistance, be healthy and get sick less.

1: Eat spring vegetables, such as bean sprouts, Toona sinensis buds, leeks and garlic sprouts. Then there are some seasonal wild vegetables, such as bitter vegetables and shepherd's purse, which are not only nutritious, but also nourishing. Some people say that spring vegetables are a kind of wild amaranth.

2. Fresh fruits, strawberries, pineapples, apples and kiwis. These fruits are not only tender and juicy, but also rich in nutritional value. Especially in this dry and rainy spring, eating some sweet and juicy fruits can not only replenish water, but also improve body immunity.

3. Cake, cake made of eggs, or cake made of red dates and honey can be eaten in moderation! Because the consumption in spring is relatively large, it is most appropriate to eat more sweets to supplement the body's energy. But big fish and big meat, fried spicy food should be eaten less to avoid getting angry.

The vernal equinox and solar terms have been highly valued since ancient times. After talking about the three kinds of food to eat on the day of the vernal equinox, let's talk about three things to do on this day.

1: Fly a kite. According to the older generation, flying kites on the vernal equinox will help the "immortals" in the sky realize their wishes when they see the people flying kites. In fact, moderate exercise in spring is very beneficial to the body, which helps to enhance resistance and eliminate spring sleepiness.

2. vertical eggs, many people will do the experiment of "vertical eggs" on the vernal equinox. It is said that the vernal equinox is the day when the northern and southern hemispheres divide day and night equally. When the earth and the sun rotate, they are in the same orbit, which is equivalent to being in a relatively constant position, so it is easy to stand the egg.

3. Sending a spring cow, the so-called spring cow, is actually a "spring cow map". The patterns of farmers ploughing fields printed on red paper or yellow paper are sent to thousands of households by easy-going people and singers, and some auspicious words are said. Although these words are simple, they rhyme beautifully, so they are also called "Spring Officials".

As the saying goes, "a year's plan lies in spring." Spring is the best season to invest in your body. You can choose suitable outdoor sports according to your physical condition, such as jogging, playing Tai Ji Chuan, flying kites, spring outing, jogging and so on, but it must be moderate, not too intense, so as not to sweat and damage the body's yang. In addition, proper exercise can also reduce the phenomenon of spring sleepiness, which is really the way to keep fit.
