In the past, animals hid in the soil in winter without drinking or eating, which was called "sting"; On the day of "Sting Festival", the spring thunder in the sky awakens the secluded animals, which is called "shock". Therefore, insects wake up when they are startled, the weather gets warmer, and there are spring thunder gradually, so most areas of China enter the spring ploughing season. In ancient times, it was divided into three stages: "when the peach is waiting, it will begin to bloom;" Second, wait for the sound of Cang Geng (Huang Li); Three waiting eagles turned into pigeons. "The flower letters represented by the three stages of fright are:" Peach blossom, apricot blossom and rose. " .

Ancient Roman doctor Galen (AD 129? AD 200), on the basis of body fluid theory, people's temperament is divided into four types, namely, the choleric type with keen sexual impulse and quick action; Blood type with active temperament and sensitive movements; Mucus type, calm temperament, slow movement; Depression, fragile temperament, slow action. Pavlov, a famous scientist in modern times, divided people into four types: excited, lively, quiet and fragile, which is basically equivalent to Galen's classification. The above-mentioned quartering method is quite influential in western medical circles. However, the early medical work "Twenty-five Families of Yin and Yang" in China divided the physique into five types according to the differences of human body's physique, skin color, cognitive ability, emotional response, strong will, calm personality and adaptation to the seasonal climate, and further divided each category into five types according to the physiological characteristics reflected by the head, face, limbs, meridians and blood, which is what Ling Shu said.
Although both Chinese and western medicine have classified human physique, so far, various theories of human physique classification in western medicine cannot directly guide clinical treatment and health care rehabilitation, and only Chinese medicine can effectively guide human physique and practice health care rehabilitation. "Su Wenyi's Treatise on Traditional Chinese Medicine" points out: "Because of the different geographical environment and climate, the residents' living habits are different, and the five parties form different constitutions and are prone to different diseases, so the treatment is correspondingly different. "Zhu Danxi's" Ge Zhi Yu Lun "said:" The shape of a mortal is not short as long, not big as small, not fat as thin, and the color of a human being is not white as black, not tender as white, and not thin as thick. The fat man is wet and the thin man is hot; White lung qi deficiency, black kidney deficiency. Different shapes and colors, different internal organs. Although the symptoms and signs are the same, the treatment methods are different. "In" Medicine, Tips and Feeling ",there is another article:" We should know that easy wind is a disease and qi deficiency; Yang Qi of patients susceptible to colds is weak; People who are prone to heat are sick and weak in yin; People who are easy to eat will lose their spleen and stomach; It is easy to get old and hurt, and qi will be damaged. "It is not difficult to see that the main cause of human illness depends on the difference of physical fitness, that is to say, physical fitness determines the susceptibility to certain pathogenic factors. How to change the bad physical condition is a problem that we should be concerned about. What I want to say here is that physique is not fixed. Even in the same environment, as long as we take positive health care measures with a positive attitude towards life, we can correct the physical deviation and achieve the purpose of prolonging life.
Besides, for us modern people, whether you are a businessman, a doctor or other professions, accumulating certain phenological knowledge will be helpful to your life and work. According to the differences of natural phenology and physique, reasonable mental, daily and dietary conditioning should be carried out for the health care of the solar terms. However, the difference in physique actually refers to one aspect of people's physique. Because the human body is endowed by nature and influenced by many acquired factors, it has formed some relatively stable characteristics of different psychological and physiological functions during its growth, development and aging. These characteristics often determine the susceptibility of the body to certain pathogenic factors and the tendency in the process of pathological changes, so it should vary from person to person in health care and cannot be generalized.
After the shock, everything recovered. This is the season of warm spring in bloom, and it is also the season when all kinds of viruses and bacteria are active. During the period of fright, the qi of liver yang in human body is gradually rising, and the yin blood is relatively insufficient. Health care should conform to the characteristics of the rising of yang and the beginning of everything, so that people's spirit, emotions and qi and blood are as smooth and full of vitality as a spring. From the point of view of diet, the diet and daily life during the period of fright should conform to the nature of the liver, which is helpful to temper and make the five internal organs calm. It is advisable to eat more light foods rich in plant protein and vitamins and less animal fat foods. You can eat duck blood, spinach, aloe, radish, bitter gourd, fungus, celery, rape, yam, lotus seeds, tremella and other foods. Because spring corresponds to the liver, improper health care will hurt the liver. Modern epidemiological investigation also confirmed that Jing-Zhe is the high incidence season of liver diseases. In addition, such as influenza, meningitis, chickenpox, herpes zoster, epidemic hemorrhagic fever and so on. Epidemics are easy to break out in this solar term, so we should prevent such diseases.
The constitution mentioned by Chinese medicine is different from the temperament that people often say. Temperament is the sum of psychological functions such as mental outlook, personality and behavior formed by human body under the influence of acquired factors, and it is also the characteristic of "spirit", while physique is a comprehensive reflection of form and spirit. There are inseparable internal relations between them. That is, constitution can include temperament, but temperament is not equal to constitution.
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. " It means that when everything recovers in spring, staying up late, getting up early and walking slowly can make you feel happy and healthy. This summarizes the basic points of Jing Zhe's health preservation in daily life.
The weather is obviously getting warmer, and the diet should be cool and light. Eat more fresh vegetables and rich foods in protein, such as bamboo shoots, spinach, celery, chicken, eggs, milk, etc., to enhance physical fitness and resist the invasion of germs. The season of fright is warm and cold, and the climate is relatively dry, which makes people thirsty and cough due to exogenous factors. 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. Especially the steamed pear with rock sugar has a good effect on cough, and it is simple and convenient to make, so it might as well be eaten as dessert. In addition, patients with cough can also eat lotus seeds, loquat, Siraitia grosvenorii and other foods to relieve pain. Diet should be light, and it is best not to eat greasy food. Irritating foods such as peppers, onions and garlic should also be eaten less.
In some areas of Shandong province, farmers burn pancakes in the yard on the day of fright, which means that smoke kills pests. In Shaanxi, some areas want to eat fried beans after being electrocuted. People soak soybeans in salt water and stir-fry them in a pot, making a crackling sound, which symbolizes the jumping sound of insects when they are tortured by heat in the pot. In Yanbei, Shanxi, farmers want to eat pears on the day of fright, which means to leave pests behind.
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.

Now the younger generation doesn't pay as much attention to solar terms as the older generation does. Perhaps speaking of March phobia, many friends can't explain clearly. Today, Bian Xiao will show you some solar terms customs.
1, why eat pears?
The custom of eating pears by surprise has been circulating for a long time, but the origin of this custom can be traced. There is such a story among the people in Qixian County, Shanxi Province. According to legend, Qu Ji, a well-known Shanxi merchant at sea, is the eldest son of Shangdang County. In the early years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, he took his two sons, Xin and Yi, and traded the Party's pears for coarse cloth and red dates in Qixian for profit. Over time, he had savings and settled down in Qixian County. During the Yongzheng period, the Fourteenth Canal reached the west exit, which was the day of surprise attack. His father took out pears for him to eat. He said that his ancestors sold pears to start a business and settled in Qixian after hardships. Today, you went to the west exit in surprise. Eating pears is to make you not forget your ancestors, work hard to start a business and honor your ancestors. Qu Baichuan went west to become rich in business and named the shop name "Changyuan Hou". Later, westerners followed suit and ate pears, mostly with the intention of "leaving home to start a business". Later, they were shocked and ate pears, and they also had the idea of "trying to honor their ancestors."
There are several other sayings about eating pears in shock:
1. It is because of this solar term that everything recovers! The season of fright is still cold at first glance. In addition to paying attention to cold and warmth, the dry climate is also easy to make people thirsty and cough. Therefore, people have the custom of eating pears, which can be eaten raw, steamed, juiced, roasted and cooked. At this time, diet and daily life should follow the nature of the liver. Eating pears is helpful to temper, make the five internal organs calm, and enhance physical fitness to resist the invasion of germs.
2. There are many kinds of ancient creatures, and some infectious diseases have no 100% specific medicine. The day when they are shocked is the time when all insects wake up. Eating pears is to remind everyone to take precautions.
3. There is a saying in northern Jiangsu and Shanxi that "eating pears is a shock, and you are full of energy all year round!" Folk proverbs. Some people say that "pear" is homophonic "Li". It is said that eating pears can keep pests away from crops and save the good harvest in 2008. On this day, the whole family will eat pears.
Some people say that it may be because "pear" and "plow" are homophonic, indicating the beginning of spring ploughing.
2. When is fear? What do you mean shocked?
Having said this custom, let's go back and learn about this solar term. In ancient times, the startled sting was called "the beginning of the sting", which was the third of the 24 solar terms, and the time point was between March 5 and 6 of the Gregorian calendar every year. Some people say that it is around the first day of the second lunar month every year. But this statement is not very accurate, because the dates in the Gregorian calendar vary greatly. Now Bian Xiao lists the reference time of fright in recent years according to the data:
Time: 20 16: 1 month 16 (March 6th, Gregorian calendar)1:43: 30.
Time 2017: February 8th (March 5th in Gregorian calendar) 17:32:40.
Time 2065 438+08: 1 month 18 (March 5, Gregorian calendar) 23:28:06.
Time: 20 19: 05:09:39: 30th day of the first month (March 6th, Gregorian calendar).
Time in 2020: February 12 (March 5, Gregorian calendar) 10:56:44.
Pictured: March Cry
In addition, when it comes to the meaning of being shocked, it is recorded in the 24 solar terms: "February Festival ... everything is shocked, and the shock is thunder, so it is called shock, and it is a sting." Therefore, it is the day when God wakes up dormant animals with thunder. On this day, Lei Zhen woke up the small animals that had spent the winter in the soil. At this time, the temperature rose rapidly, and then most parts of China entered the spring ploughing season.
What traditional food do you eat? What did you eat in ancient times?
pear
Ginger pear juice-eating pears in shock is a folk custom in the north. Farmers want to eat pears on the day of fright, which means saying goodbye to pests. There is a slight change here. Because pears are cold, warm ginger is balanced: several large pears are added with small pieces of ginger and put into the juicer together. The squeezed pear juice is divided into two pots, one pot is served directly, and the other pot is steamed in a steamer for 5 minutes before serving. The General Law of Materia Medica says that pears "clear the heat of the six internal organs for the living and nourish the yin of the five internal organs for the ripe", so make two pots, and those with strong constitution and those with deficiency and cold at home will take what they need.
Fried beans
In Shaanxi, some areas want to eat fried beans after being electrocuted. People soak soybeans in salt water and stir-fry them in a pot, making a crackling sound, which symbolizes the jumping sound of insects when they are tortured by heat in the pot.
number nine in a group/gang
Fermented wine-spring has come, and people's sweat pores have also opened. In some places in the northwest, every household is required to drink fermented wine and eat egg pancakes mixed with mustard juice to drive away accumulated cold. Eggs and pancakes mixed with mustard are not attractive to us, but we happen to have homemade glutinous rice wine at home, which is the mash after filtering out the mash. After drinking wine, I felt warm all over, and I couldn't help thinking of the nursery rhyme: "I was shocked, warm and harmonious, and toad sang a folk song."
What traditional food do you eat? What did you eat in ancient times?
In Shandong, people who eat pancakes are shocked.
In some areas of Shandong province, farmers burn pancakes in the yard on the day of fright, which means that smoke kills pests.
Stunned and eaten Guangxi "fried insects".
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.
The meaning of fear
The meaning of fear
Sting is one of the 24 solar terms, some of which are around February of the lunar calendar, so it is also called "mid-spring". It is the main traditional folk festival, and people call it "Frightening Festival".
Scared ding, "ding" means "hiding". When winter comes, many animals hide and hibernate, which is called entering the sting; The next year, when I was in Spring Return, I came out and said it was a sting. When spring returns to the earth, the thunder is getting louder and louder. In the past, people thought that plants might wake up from dormancy because they were awakened by thunder. So there is a saying that it is amazing. The word "Jing" describes the revival of everything in spring.
During the farming period, agriculture is the foundation, and the 24 solar terms are the benchmark for people to deploy farming. The Qin and Han dynasties were completely broken, and it has been used ever since. However, in the eyes of children, solar terms are just songs recited casually, just snacks. Because every solar term, the old people always hold such a memorial ceremony or celebration ceremony at home, and at the same time prepare some special foods or melons for sacrifice, and share them with the children at the end of the sacrifice, which means avoiding evil spirits and welcoming Fonagy.
