Qingming time in 2020: April 4, 2020 15:38:02, March 2020 12.
Tomb-Sweeping Day is one of the twenty-four solar terms in the lunar calendar, which is between mid-spring and late spring, that is, from winter to the future 108 days. During the Qingming Festival, the climate is fresh and warm, the vegetation grows new branches, everything begins to grow, and farmers are busy ploughing and planting in spring. Once upon a time, on this day in Tomb-Sweeping Day, some families would plant willows at the door and go for an outing to sweep the graves in the suburbs. This is an ancient custom.
Qingming story
Fighting means that everything is clean and clear when it is clear, and everything is clear when it is covered, hence the name.
Qingming Sanhou
Wait for bloom, vole to become quail, and watch the rainbow.
Tomb-Sweeping Day is the fifth of the 24 solar terms, which marks the beginning of Tomb-Sweeping Day when the sun moves to the longitude of 15 on April 5 of the Gregorian calendar every year.
"Tomb-Sweeping Day" has always been a festival for people to worship their ancestors and sweep graves. Although the ways of offering sacrifices to ancestors and sweeping graves vary from place to place, China people's tradition of attaching importance to "offering sacrifices" has never changed. During his stay in Tomb-Sweeping Day, in addition to ancestor worship, there were activities such as inserting willows, hiking and flying kites.
Before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, the weather was fresh, everything was revived, the grass was lush, and the earth was full of vitality. At this time, except for the remote northwest and northeast regions where the temperature is still low, the national average daily temperature is above 12℃. However, according to the previous meteorological data, the cold current still occasionally patronizes during the Qingming period, and the temperature may be lower than 12℃ for more than three consecutive days.
Qingming is beautiful, "Yu Xiang flies like a butterfly, and the sleepy night turns into a warbler"; Qingming is sad. "There are many rains during the Qingming period, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls." While feeling the beauty and desolation of Qingming, we should also carry out health care reasonably according to the characteristics of this solar term.

Avoid eating "hair", such as bamboo shoots, marine fish, shrimp, mutton and so on. In order to avoid recurrence of the old disease. Bamboo shoots, fish and shrimp 4. Obese people should reduce sweets and limit calorie intake. ◎ Qingming "suffering" can reduce fever.
People tend to get angry in spring, so we should pay attention to the diet in spring, try to avoid eating hot fruits such as litchi, longan and durian, and pay attention to eating less spicy food such as curry, pepper and pepper. These hot foods also have the function of "divergence". If eaten regularly, it will "lose vitality", leading to qi deficiency, thus reducing human immunity. Especially spicy things, eating too much can easily lead to indigestion and affect sleep, which is very unfavorable to health.
In order to "reduce fire" in spring, people must maintain good living habits, work and rest regularly, pay attention to rest, drink more water or drinks that clear away heat and reduce fire, so that "internal heat" in the body can be discharged from body fluids through metabolism. In addition, bitter food has the function of reducing fire, so you can choose food appropriately. Medicine points out that bitter food contains alkaloids, alkaloids and other substances, which can resist bacteria and detoxify, clear away heat and relieve summer heat, refresh the mind and eliminate fatigue, which is of great benefit to people's health.
Bitter food is good, but don't overdo it. Bitter food is mostly cold, and the climate is changeable during the Qingming period, and the cold current is still concerned. If you eat too much at this time, it will cause stomach pain and diarrhea. Most of the elderly and children are weak in spleen and stomach and should not eat more; In addition, patients with spleen and stomach deficiency and thin stools should not eat cold and bitter food.
Eat less bamboo shoots and more tremella.
Bamboo shoots are delicious, and Tomb-Sweeping Day is the time when bamboo shoots are on the market. Many people like to buy them and eat them. However, health care tells us that bamboo shoots are delicious, but don't eat more. Chinese medicine believes that bamboo shoots are cold, slippery and gas-consuming, and eating more will make people qi-deficient. Chinese medicine also believes that bamboo shoots belong to hair and may induce chronic diseases. Materia Medica from the New describes bamboo shoots as follows: "If you eat bamboo shoots, it will cause more diseases." In other words, patients with qi deficiency eating gas-consuming bamboo shoots will aggravate the symptoms of qi deficiency, make them weaker and get worse. Medical experiments also show that eating bamboo shoots may cause cough and thus induce asthma; In addition, the crude fiber contained in bamboo shoots is not easy to digest, which is easy to cause gastrointestinal discomfort and even bleeding. Therefore, it is best to eat less bamboo shoots during the Spring Festival.
Different from bamboo shoots, we can eat more tremella during Qingming period. Tremella is sweet and has the effects of moistening lung, promoting fluid production, softening liver and reducing fire. According to the research, Tremella fuciformis is rich in nutrition, rich in polysaccharide which can promote the synthesis of protein in the liver, and even has the miraculous effect of preventing cancer.

Qingming health preservation is fundamental ● Qingming hair growth is easy to "get angry"
When the temperature rises during Qingming period, sweating will take away a lot of water from the human body; The unstable climate will also make people feel at a loss in eating and dressing; If you add work pressure and lack of rest, it is likely to lead to "getting angry." According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, "getting angry" needs to be nursed back to health.
First, children are prone to lung fire-mostly due to yin-yang imbalance, the lungs can not protect the righteousness, leading to the invasion of foreign evils.
Second, young people are prone to get angry-young people are full of yang, and it is easy to get angry in spring.
Third, middle-aged people are prone to stomach fire-middle-aged people have long-term stress and are prone to stomach fire for a long time.
Fourth, the elderly are prone to virtual fire-the elderly are prone to kidney yin loss, mainly manifested as soreness of the waist and knees, sweating, insomnia and other symptoms.
Fifth, women are prone to heart fire-mostly due to the imbalance of yin and yang in the heart and kidney.
People who are prone to get angry can be nursed back to health from their diet: children are prone to lung fire and should eat more fruits and vegetables; Young people get angry easily, so they should eat less sour and overheated food and seafood. Middle-aged people are prone to stomach fire, so they can eat more seasonal fruits and yellow or green vegetables. Old people are prone to virtual fire, so they should eat less indigestible and irritating food. Women are easy to get angry, so they can choose foods that nourish the heart and kidney, such as jujube, jujube and lily.
● Preventing "Spring Fever" in Tomb-Sweeping Day
"Spring epidemic" is not a disease, but a common infectious disease in spring. Most of them are crazy, hot, easy to hurt the yin and spread very fast. According to modern medicine, these diseases are mainly caused by influenza, mumps, lobar pneumonia, diphtheria, rash, epidemic meningitis, dermatitis and beriberi.
During Tomb-Sweeping Day, the climate was very unstable. The temperature in northern China rises rapidly, the temperature difference between day and night increases, and it is windy and dry. This kind of weather will hinder the defense function of human respiratory system, reduce people's immunity and make people more vulnerable to various germs. Therefore, it is necessary to actively prevent the "spring epidemic" during the Qingming period.
During Tomb-Sweeping Day, you should always open the doors and windows to ventilate the living room, pay attention to rest while working hard, and give yourself enough sleep time. Usually, you should exercise more and improve your immunity. Besides, we should form the good habit of drinking more water and eating more fruits and vegetables in our daily life. For some epidemic diseases, you can also choose to vaccinate and prevent them during the epidemic period.
Clear life and health ◎ Breathing "air vitamins" boosts the spirit.
During the Qingming Festival, the spring is warm, the temperature rises, the weather gets warmer, the dead trees are green, and the grass is reluctant. At this time, it is a wonderful life experience and a very good health exercise to go for an outing in the suburbs, wandering in the green grass and wandering in the charming spring, which has always been highly praised by health experts. The suburbs are closer to nature, with fresh air and no pollution. Walking here can make people's oxygen intake reach 1000 cubic centimeters per minute, and running can reach 4000 cubic centimeters per minute.
The fresh air in the suburbs is good for people, because it contains many negative ions called "air vitamins". Negative ions have an excellent health care effect on human body. First, negative ions can purify the air and eliminate harmful substances in the air; Secondly, it can accelerate the redox process of various tissues of human body and purify harmful substances in the body; Thirdly, negative ions have a good regulating effect on the nervous system of the human body by acting on the peripheral sensory organs of the human body; Finally, negative ions can lower blood pressure, increase the oxygen supply of cells, speed up metabolism, improve lung function, and make people refreshed.
Good living habits are better than vaccination.
The "spring epidemic" is generally fierce, sudden and contagious, and people in poor health are easily knocked down by it. People who are weak, children with low immunity and the elderly should be vaccinated in time under the guidance of doctors. But because the virus can mutate, and the speed is extremely fast, sometimes even if it is vaccinated, it will not help. Therefore, the fight against "spring epidemic" focuses on prevention, and the most important preventive measure is to develop good living habits.
First, pay attention to hygiene, wash your hands frequently and change your toothbrush in time.
Second, pay attention to the weather changes and add clothes to keep warm in time. It is very important to keep your feet warm, because cold feet often cause vasoconstriction of nasal mucosa, which makes people catch a cold more easily.
Third, pay attention to moisture. Don't stay in wet places for a long time, and try to avoid working in wet places; Don't open the window for a long time in rainy or humid weather except ventilation; If the room is too humid, you should buy dehumidification equipment to adjust it; Always keep your clothes dry and don't wear wet clothes.
Fourth, exercise regularly. More exercise can effectively improve human immunity and keep people away from diseases.
Clear your heart and keep healthy ◎ bask in the sun and stay away from "spring sorrow"
There are many descriptions of spring worries in China's ancient poems: Hu Zhang in the Tang Dynasty had the sadness of "worrying about the sunset, infinite spring worries give birth to beautiful girls"; Lu You sighed in Song Dynasty: "You want to break your soul when you ride for a long time, and your eyes are full of spring worries." . In reality, spring sleepiness is very common. It is a psychological obstacle, and it also belongs to "seasonal depression" because it is related to seasons.
Chinese medicine tells us that spring health care should pay attention to mental recuperation, and emotional out of control and mental abnormality will cause harm to the human body. Modern medicine believes that various hormones produced in the human body directly affect people's mental state. When encountering happy things, the human brain will secrete a hormone called endorphin, which will give people a feeling of happiness and satisfaction. When encountering horrible things, human adrenal medulla will secrete a hormone called adrenaline, which will give people a feeling of fear or excitement. In addition, when it is dark or cloudy, the human body will secrete a hormone called melatonin, which will make people sleepy. Rainy days are the period when such materials are clear and vigorous, so most people are in a bad mood on rainy days. "There are many rains in the Qingming Festival", most of which are rainy in the Qingming Festival, so it is not surprising that it causes "spring sorrow" at this time.
But experiments show that sunlight can inhibit the secretion of melatonin and destroy it. Therefore, psychologists tell us that sunlight, especially in the morning, is the best antidepressant. Therefore, in spring, we'd better adjust our work and rest, walk with the rising sun in the morning, let the morning light massage you and eliminate the depression in our hearts.
◎ Qingming pays homage to ancestors, and sorrow should be measured.
Tomb-Sweeping Day is a sad festival, although the weather is sunny and everything is new. This is a day for China people to worship their ancestors, sweep graves and remember their ancestors. Health care points out that you should care about your health while mourning.
In Tomb-Sweeping Day, people mourn their dead relatives, which is a good way to vent their feelings and is beneficial to their mental health. But at the same time, many people get together to mourn, which will create a sad atmosphere and make people feel depressed. Old people are often worried, and in this atmosphere, it is easy to have emotional fluctuations and cause various diseases. Therefore, when Tomb-Sweeping Day visited the grave, he should not immerse himself in a sad and depressed atmosphere for too long, otherwise it would be unhealthy.
Qingming Sports Health ◎ Regular practice of Tai Ji Chuan to prevent hypertension.
Hypertension is the most common cardiovascular disease, and it is easy to recur every spring, especially around Tomb-Sweeping Day. In addition to receiving regular medication, patients with hypertension should also take care of themselves in diet, daily life and spirit. In terms of exercise and recuperation, Tai Ji Chuan is the most recommended exercise mode. Besides, walking and jogging are also good choices.
First of all, Tai Ji Chuan moves gently. Relaxing posture, without violent force, can reduce the resistance of human peripheral blood vessels, fully improve microcirculation, and thus reduce blood pressure; Secondly, when practicing Tai Ji Chuan, you should use your mind to guide your movements, so that you can relax, have no distractions, play a normal brain function, be emotionally stable, and help lower your blood pressure. In addition, the persistence of Tai Ji Chuan can fully exercise the muscles and joints of human body, help to maintain the vitality of muscles and increase the flexibility of joints, and also help to improve the balance and coordination ability of patients with hypertension.
There are several kinds of Tai Ji Chuan. Patients with hypertension should choose exercise scientifically and reasonably according to their own situation and under the guidance of doctors. Yang-style Tai Ji Chuan and simplified 24-style Tai Ji Chuan have gentle movements and little exercise, which are more suitable for the elderly to practice; Chen Tai Ji Chuan has a lot of exercise, and there are some complicated movements, some of which need to hold her breath hard, so you must be careful when choosing. Patients who have no foundation or poor memory can only practice some movements in Tai Ji Chuan. As long as they practice frequently, they can also achieve the purpose of health care.
◎ housework ≠ physical exercise
Many people have the idea that doing housework is also a kind of exercise. Doing more housework every day does not need to spend time on physical exercise. In fact, this concept is wrong.
Doing housework requires physical exertion, which will have a certain exercise effect more or less. When doing housework, you should constantly exercise your muscles and joints, which can accelerate blood circulation and enhance your physique from a certain procedure. But too much housework is some tedious work, which takes a long time, has limited exercise and lacks the fun of sports. Therefore, it is pointed out that from the point of view of fitness, the amount and scope of housework are not enough, which has little exercise effect on the body and tissues and organs, and its health care effect is not obvious. However, physical exercise is different. It can fully exercise all parts of the human body, from muscles to joints to the main organs of the human body, thus improving people's physical fitness in an all-round way. Therefore, in our daily life, we should realize that housework cannot replace special physical exercise. In order to live a healthy life, we'd better take time out for physical exercise every day.
