Wujiang, known as "Wu Gen Yue Jiao", is rich in humanities and medical broadcasting, and permeates the daily customs of ordinary people with a strong health culture. Here are a few examples for readers' reference:

First, Wujiang's "life customs" contain health culture.

The old house in Wujiang, like many other places in the south of the Yangtze River, has black tiles and white walls. The Thai hexagrams in the Book of Changes indicate that the yin is above and the yang is below. Yin Qi sinks heavily, while Yang Qi rises lightly, which is a state of sex between Yin and Yang and Thailand. Moreover, the black on the white wall of Daiwa House is yin, and the white below is yang, which is also the explanation of Thai hexagrams. This means that people's physiology and psychology should be in harmony with Yin and Yang, just like the house they live in, in order to stay healthy. Although there are not many old houses in Wujiang, many of them have high thresholds, with stone drums on both sides of the door and heavy millstones embedded in the wall facing the road. All these show that we should resist evil spirits from outside the house, especially from the road, and that people should prevent diseases, especially when going out on the street, and strictly control prevention. It is also worth mentioning that after the separation of Wujiang people, the house lived in the east and the west. Because my brother is older and his body is gradually converging, he needs to supplement the vitality of youth; My younger brother is young and energetic, and his body is mainly based on hair growth, which requires restraint. The east is wood, which can watch the sunrise and grow hair; The west belongs to gold, you can watch the sunset, and the Lord converges. Therefore, we should use the custom of "East Brother and West Brother" to make up for its shortcomings.

Second, Wujiang's "diet custom" contains health culture.

Wujiang people eat bread when they meet on the second day of the second lunar month. This supporting cake is like a psoas muscle. The custom of eating propped cakes is to be mentally prepared for working in the fields, exercise the waist and strengthen the back muscles, so that you will not be afraid of backache or "waist flash" at that time. Wujiang people have the custom of eating chicken in early winter. Since beginning of winter, the weather has turned cold, and chicken, like beef and mutton originally lacking in this area, is hot, which can help people keep warm. What is important in this custom is not to eat chicken itself, but to remind people that winter is coming through the beginning of eating chicken in winter, and to keep warm. Wujiang people often say that "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, and you don't need to ask a doctor in four seasons", which is also a valuable health care experience. In summer, the spirit of the sun radiates outside the body, but the body is relatively cold and humid. If you need to add something warm and cool, you should eat more ginger. In winter, the sun is in the body, and the body needs to be cool and ventilated, so eat more radishes. Every time Yangmei goes on the market, Wujiang people will buy Yangmei to eat. Myrica rubra has the effects of promoting fluid production, quenching thirst, invigorating spleen and appetizing. Eating more will not only hurt the spleen and stomach, but also have the effect of detoxifying and dispelling cold. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "Myrica rubra can quench thirst, harmonize five internal organs, purify the stomach and intestines, and eliminate annoyance and evil spirits." Wujiang people are also used to soaking bayberry in high-alcohol liquor. When diarrhea occurs, soaking bayberry in wine is better than taking medicine. I also noticed that "three teas" are popular in the southwest of Wujiang in the New Year. They are black tea, smoked bean tea and tea tea. The first kind of tea is easily digested and absorbed by the human body, which can "refuel" relatives and friends who come from afar in the cold; The second smoked bean tea includes smoked green beans, carrots, orange peel, perilla, sesame and other tea material, which are all good in color, fragrance, taste, shape and nutrition. The third kind of tea, green tea, relieves greasy after meals and helps digestion.

Third, Wujiang's "material customs" contain health culture.

In some sericulture areas in Wujiang, the vigil candles on New Year's Eve don't burn to ashes, but are blown out in the middle of burning and lit when sericulture begins in the next year, so that they can burn to the end. This custom means that people at the end of the year should not indulge in revelry, but should save some energy and prepare to devote themselves to productive labor (mainly sericulture) in the coming year. In addition, Wujiang people often say that "after eating Dragon Boat Festival brown, you should freeze for three times" to remind people that after Dragon Boat Festival, although the natural yang has the upper hand, the yin is still very strong, so we should pay attention to eating and warming up to avoid cold. Wujiang people describe a person who is absorbed in it and will say that he is "hanging in the crowd". What is "hanging people"? As teachers, we will find that when students are listening attentively, the lower lip will hold up the upper lip, which is the so-called "hanging people". From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, people are the two most important meridians of the human body: the intersection of Ren meridian and Du meridian. When we need to concentrate, we unconsciously lift people up, in order to make Ren Du and Er Meridian run more smoothly, so as to adjust qi and blood. This principle is also used by ordinary people to pinch people after fainting.

In short, there are countless places where Wujiang customs contain health culture. Today, when life and health are highly valued, it is undoubtedly of great significance to inherit this rich cultural heritage of health preservation.
