? Changxiachang Sam sun
? On the day of long summer, the ancient Emperor of Heaven led doctors or officials to hold a welcoming ceremony in the southern suburbs of Beijing, dressed in Zhu fu, which meant summering in summer, and sacrificed raw meat, fresh fruit, grains, tea and other sacrifices to the ancient emperor. When this custom spread to the people, Chang Xia tried something new. Later, the custom of tasting three delicacies in summer gradually developed. The three flavors of long summer are also called "eating three flavors in long summer" or "seeing three new things in long summer"
? However, there are different versions of "Sanxian" in different areas of the south of the Yangtze River. Wuxi people prefer cucumbers and apricots, Changzhou people have a special liking for saury and Toona sinensis, and Suzhou people put green plums and wheat in the "three fresh" menu.
? In the eyes of old Nanjing people, the "three delicacies" that Chang Xia wants to eat are "land, water and trees" respectively. There are two opinions among the people about what the three delicacies include.
? One view is that Sanxian refers to amaranth, broad bean and garlic seedling; Water three fresh refers to shad, white shrimp and pickled cabbage; Three fresh trees refer to loquat, cherry and bayberry. There is also a saying that the freshly ground three herbs are amaranth, broad bean, pea cake or black rice; Three fresh are river snails, river shrimps and shad; The three fresh trees are cherry, green plum and toon head.
? Now cherries have entered the homes of ordinary people, while shad are almost extinct. Therefore, the new version of "Sanxian" can give full play to everyone's imagination and choose seasonal fresh food collocation.
? 1, the third line of changxia
? The three fresh plants are broad bean, amaranth and cucumber (amaranth, broad bean and garlic sprout). In fact, every place has its own three delicacies. It makes sense to eat these three kinds of delicious food.
? The reason why I eat broad beans is because it happened to be on the market when I was growing in summer. Beans are also called germinated beans, and eating beans in the long summer won the lottery of "hair". When buying fresh broad beans, be sure to peel them. You should choose green broad bean tendons, which are fresh and good beans with thin skin and tender meat and soft and waxy taste. If the color of the tendon turns black, it means that this broad bean is not fresh.
? The seasonal vegetable red amaranth, after eating amaranth, will gulp down the red soup in the bowl in order to get the "red" as the first color. In summer, people sweat a lot. Eating amaranth can not only enhance physical fitness and improve immunity, but also reduce weight, detoxify, replenish blood and invigorate qi.
? Finally, cucumber has a lot of water, which is very suitable for eating in summer. Cucumber contains more fruit acid, pectin and rich cellulose, which can reduce the content of cholesterol and triglyceride in blood, promote the excretion of rotten food in intestine, reduce fat and lose weight, and prevent constipation.
? 2, long Xia Shu three fresh.
? Cherry, loquat, apricot (plum, apricot, cherry). After a long summer, in hot weather, the water lost in the human body increases, and the digestive function of the spleen and stomach deteriorates. Eating more fruits is an effective way to replenish water and help relieve summer heat. Seasonal fruits are fresh and juicy. Sure, you should try one.
? Among them, cherry is the earliest seasonal fruit listed. In the fruit family, the content of iron is generally low, but cherries stand out from the crowd. Vitamin a content is 4 ~ 5 times more than that of grapes, apples and oranges. Eating cherries in the long summer won the lottery.
? Loquat is not only delicious and nutritious, but also has high health care value. Chinese medicine believes that loquat is cool and has the effect of moistening lung and clearing lung. Compendium of Materia Medica records that loquat is "sweet, sour, flat and nontoxic" and has the effects of "stopping diarrhea, lowering qi, benefiting lung, stopping vomiting, controlling excess heat and moistening five internal organs".
? At that time, when Xinger was listed, there was a saying in our country, "Eat an apricot during the Dragon Boat Festival, and you won't get sick when you get old". Although it is exaggerated, it shows that apricot has therapeutic value. Eating apricots often can improve the immune function of human body.
? 3, long summer water and three fresh.
? The three kinds of fresh water are conch, puffer fish and shad (shad, pomfret and yellow croaker). This kind of three delicacies can be bought in the market all year round, but it may be more fun to enjoy these foods during the solar term.
? Conch has a certain dietotherapy effect, which is sweet, cold and non-toxic. It has the effects of clearing away heat and improving eyesight, benefiting diaphragm and stomach, and also has certain curative effects on heart heat pain, lung heat and lung dryness, blurred vision and other symptoms.
? The fat content of shad is very high, almost ranking first among fish. It is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, has the function of lowering cholesterol, and is beneficial to prevent arteriosclerosis, hypertension and coronary heart disease. The scale of shad has the effect of clearing away heat and toxic materials, and can be used to treat diseases such as sores, chancre, fire and water burns.
