What does the vernal equinox mean?
The vernal equinox is one of the 24 solar terms, also known as "Japan-China", "Day and Night Equinox" and "Mid-spring Moon" in ancient times. It is celebrated around March 2 1(20-22) every year, and the lunar calendar date is not fixed. At this time, the sun reaches 0 on the meridian.
According to the "Twenty-four solar terms": "In mid-February, it is divided into half, which is half of ninety days, so it is called minutes." Another article, Spring and Autumn Stories, Yin and Yang in and out, said: "At the vernal equinox, Yin and Yang are also half-phase, so day and night are cold and summer." There is a "Li Mingshi Yi" cloud: "The dividing line, the point where Huangchi intersects, the sun is here, and the day and night are equally divided." Therefore, the significance of the vernal equinox, first, refers to the equal division of day and night, each of which is 12 hours; Second, in ancient times, it was spring from beginning of spring to long summer, and the vernal equinox happened to be in the three months of spring, and spring was equally divided.
In ancient China, the vernal equinox was divided into three periods: "First, waiting for the arrival of birds; Second, wait for Lei Nai to make a sound; Third, wait for electricity. " In other words, after the vernal equinox, swallows will fly from the south, and when it rains, the sky will thunder and lightning. The vernal equinox is recorded in the ancient calendar of China: "Three days before the vernal equinox, the sun entered the equator".
Principle of vernal equinox health preservation
1, get up early and go to bed early to nourish the liver
Huangdi Neijing said: "In the spring of March, this is called Chen Zhisheng, the world is born, and everything is glorious. He lies at night and gets up early, striding to court and being delayed, so as to live, live without killing, give without taking, reward without punishment. This is the answer of spring and the way of health preservation. On the contrary, it hurts the liver? " . This means that after beginning of spring, nature is full of vitality and everything is thriving. At this time, people should go to bed early and get up early, go for a walk in the morning, relax themselves, and let their emotions grow with spring without violating it. This is the way to keep fit for spring. If this method is violated, the liver will be damaged, which is the basis of spring delivery. So in spring, the way to keep fit is to relax and adjust your mood.
2, to prevent the recurrence of old diseases
There is an old saying: "A hundred herbs germinate, and old diseases germinate." It can be seen that beginning of spring is a season with frequent diseases. The frequently-occurring diseases in spring include pneumonia, hepatitis, meningitis, measles, mumps, allergic asthma, myocardial infarction and psychosis. Therefore, patients with hepatitis, allergic asthma and myocardial infarction should pay special attention to aftercare prevention.
Don't cut clothes too early.
"No clothes in spring, no hats in autumn". Spring is warm and cold, and the temperature changes greatly. If you take off your winter clothes too early, it will be difficult to adapt once the temperature drops, which will reduce your body's resistance. Bacteria attack the body, easily causing various respiratory diseases and infectious diseases in winter and spring. It's best to change clothes with the change of temperature, and take a thick coat at hand, take it off when it's hot and put it on when it's cold.
4. comb your hair one hundred times a day
Health theory says: "In spring and March, comb your hair one or two hundred times every morning." If you don't keep fit today, you can keep a doctor tomorrow. Add WeChat: Health care in the world makes health care simple. May health always accompany you! Combing your hair every day in spring is a good health care method. Because spring is the season when the natural yang rises, at this time, the yang of the human body also conforms to nature and has the characteristics of rising upward and outward, which is manifested in the gradual expansion of pores, vigorous metabolism and rapid growth. Therefore, combing hair in spring just meets the requirements of health preservation in this spring, and plays an important role in promoting qi circulation, relieving depression, dredging qi and blood, and invigorating yang.
5. Eat less tonic and salt.
During the spring equinox, the amount of tonic, whether it is food tonic or medicine tonic, should be gradually reduced to gradually adapt to the seasonal characteristics of the coming spring, such as comfort, hair growth and satisfaction. At the same time, it is also very important to reduce salt intake, because salty taste enters the kidney, and eating too much salt is easy to hurt kidney qi, which is not conducive to maintaining Yang Qi.
6. Eat more leeks and coriander.
In spring, Yang was born. In addition to nourishing yang, diet should also give viscera. You should eat some sweet products properly, not sour ones. Because the sour taste enters the liver, it has astringent taste, which is not conducive to the growth of yang and the release of liver qi. Food can choose spicy onion, coriander, peanut, leek, shrimp and so on. Eat less spicy food.
Scrambled eggs with leek and shrimp skin is a good medicinal diet at this time. Wash a handful of leeks, 2-3 eggs, and appropriate amount of shrimp skin. Cut the leek into small pieces and beat the eggs evenly after breaking the shell. Heat the wok. When the vegetable oil is warm, stir-fry the shrimps until fragrant. Then pour in the beaten eggs, fry the eggs until they are slightly shaped, and then pour in the leeks. Stir-fry for a while, then add salt, Jiang Mo and monosodium glutamate and stir-fry for a while. Leek is pungent and warm, which helps the human body to generate yang, make it comfortable, and nourish the eggs. This dish can nourish the liver and blood, and it is suitable for eating.
Matters needing attention in vernal equinox health care
The climate in south and north of China is quite different. It's still freezing and snowy in the north, and it's already warm in bloom in the south, so the health care after the beginning of spring in the north and south is different.
North: "Spring covers autumn" is very suitable.
The health proverb "Spring covers autumn and freezing" says that it is not appropriate to take off your cotton coat in early spring to prevent spring cold. Spring is warm and cold, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. In spring, you must "cover" your body and pay attention to proper clothes. Generally speaking, there are often repeated cold weather in spring, and clothes should be gradually reduced, so it is advisable to wear warmer clothes.
South: It's time to strengthen exercise and prevent diseases.
The weather gets warmer, the days get longer, and the temperature, sunshine and precipitation increase, which is more obvious in the southern region. In spring, everything revives and all kinds of germs are active. You'd better take the following measures: first, eliminate the source of infection; Second, open the window often to keep the air fresh; Third, increase outdoor exercise, strengthen exercise, and improve the body's defense and disease resistance; Fourth, eat more light food.
