"Seven Revision Manuscripts": Beginning of Spring, New Year's Festival. Stand, build the beginning also; The qi of the five elements, the past passes, the coming continues, and the qi of the spring wood begins to arrive, so it is called the standing; Summer, autumn and winter are the same.
At the beginning of spring, the south of the Yangtze River begins to become bright and bright, and those plants that are silent in winter are slowly awakened by the sun and spring breeze. Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze is not the Yumen Pass, the north is still cold and dry, but the sun is much gentler than the cold time.
The spring breeze comes from the east, dissolving the freezing of winter. The ice of the rivers and lakes began to melt, the insects that had slept for the winter woke up, and the fish also took advantage of the spring mood to swim from the bottom to the surface.
At the beginning of the year, the east wind thawed.
Ice, frozen in winter, begins to dissolve in the spring breeze. I don't talk about the spring breeze here, but the east wind, because it is said in "Lu's Spring and Autumn Period" that the East belongs to wood, wood makes fire, and the temperature of the fire can be thawed.
Second, the stinging insect begins to vibrate.
The dormant insects are slowly beginning to wake up.
Three Hou Yu Zhi negative ice.
The ice in the river begins to melt, and the fish begin to swim to the surface, and there are still unmelted crushed ice chips on the surface of the water, floating on the surface as if they are being carried by the fish.
In spring and March, this is called Chen. Heaven and earth are born, all things are glorious, lie down at night and get up early, walk widely in the court, wear hair and slow shape, so that Zhisheng, born and not killed, given and not taken, rewarded and not punished, this spring should be, the way of health is also.
Su Wen: The Great Treatise on the Four Tempering Spirits
Chen, for the long-term Tibetan foreign trend, is to use the opportunity of the spring sun to vent and retreat from the old winter storage. In other words, this is the season of natural innovation, so let's take the opportunity to clean up the internal heat accumulated in this warm winter.
When the spring sun is high and the liver qi rises, you will not be troubled by acne, fire, flu, sore throat, and headache.
At the beginning of spring, the sun and heat that are sealed in the ground between heaven and earth gradually rise out of the ground, and the qi begins to be mild. The yang energy of the human body is also ready to move and begins to rise. Pay attention to protecting yang energy in daily life, and don't take off thick clothes too soon because there is sun. Spring belongs to wood, health should also be like trees, there is a spring of the article, comfortable mood, can not suppress emotions, there is dissatisfaction to vent out, there are happy things to laugh, share more, don't laugh alone!
Eat more coarse grains, nourish your spleen and stomach, and bring forth the new
After the beginning of spring, it is necessary to reduce the nourishment of fish and meat, eat more coarse grains rich in fiber, because spring is aging, it is the season of natural innovation, and it is also a good time to nourish the spleen and stomach, keep the poop smooth, and prevent internal heat from getting hot.
You can make this Bazhen cake at home! Bazhen cake is a cake specially aimed at the spleen and stomach is not good, and the stomach is nourished. This was developed by Chen Shigong, the imperial physician of the Ming Dynasty, for the prince who had a weak stomach and indigestion at that time.
In the Qing Dynasty, the eight treasure cakes were also circulated in the court, led by the Qianlong Emperor, set off a craze for eating cakes, and the Empress Dowager Cixi ate this cake to maintain the spleen and stomach in her later years.
The soup song recipe also wrote: "Eight treasures cake and children's suit, Shen Ling Chen Douyi." Huai medicine lotus glutinous japonica rice, spleen and stomach and no doubt. ”
Therefore, this recipe has also been retained by people, as a good thing to nourish the stomach, so the upgraded version of Bazhen cake, Fu cake was born, specially developed for people with a bad spleen and stomach, and it is independently packaged, easy to carry, and eat wherever you go!
Recently, I read Dr. Luo Dalun's "Yin and Yang Tune One Hundred Diseases", which also mentions Bazhen cake.
If you look carefully, many of the ingredients in Bazhen Cake are ripe fruits in autumn, which shows that the ancients also followed the method of the four seasons, and most of these ingredients are warm, which is beneficial to the spleen and stomach.
In the recipe of Bazhen Cake, yams, lotus seeds, and white lentils are all nourishing for the spleen and yin；Poria cocos and barley to dispel dampness; The gourd is astringent, and the glutinous rice and codonopsis are both warm and yang, and they replenish the vitality.
Such a seemingly simple recipe, there is yin and yang, there is rise and fall, peace and bias, no wonder some people say that Bazhen cake is a cake that has been healthy and spleen for thousands of years.

Comb your hair every time, don't let it clog
"Theory of Health Maintenance" said: In spring and March, comb your hair one or two hundred times a day. When lying down at night, use a pinch of salt in hot soup, wash your knees to your feet, and lie down to vent wind and poison your feet, so as not to make it congested. Massaging the scalp with fingers or a nanmu comb every morning can improve problems such as oily scalp, dandruff, and hair loss over time.
The old driver has long been looking for this Nanmu comb, which is comfortable to use, not soft or hard, just right. Natural Nanzhu, smooth and natural to the touch, good taste, the air bag is natural latex, export grade. Breathable, hand-polished, and traces can be seen.
The fingers of both hands are naturally bent into an arch shape, starting from the hairline of the forehead, passing through the top of the head and back, until the back of the neck, and gently grasping the hair 1,200 times. When combing your hair, the movements should be soft and slow, from light to heavy, as light as a goose feather brushing your face, heavy as no pain, the whole body is relaxed, do not scrape the scalp with your nails. Massage the scalp as the main thing, and long hair does not have to be pulled to the ends.
The beginning of spring is the Spring Festival, fat, sweet and greasy to eat a lot, come to a bowl of red porridge that is red and hot to clear the body and replenish qi. Nourish blood and dispel dampness, nourish qi and blood, reconcile the spleen and stomach, clear the intestines and nourish the skin. When you are free on any day, a bowl of porridge is good, and you don't try to eat anything else.
Ingredients: red rice, red beans, red dates, red peanuts, glutinous rice.
Method: 1 Wash the ingredients simply and soak in water for 4 hours.
2 Put all ingredients in a casserole and add an appropriate amount of water.
3 After bringing to a boil, simmer for 1 hour. For body cold, add 1 small piece of ginger. If you like sweetness, you can add brown sugar to taste.
Before and after the beginning of spring, the gas is evacuated, stretched, every time at this time, the ancients have the custom of "eating spring cakes in spring", the so-called spring cakes, one can have no face, two can be no meat, but only can not be less bean sprouts or leeks, which is the reason for eating the color of looking forward to spring and welcoming spring.
Of course, in addition to leeks and bean sprouts, there are garlic sprouts, onions, radish, garlic, mustard greens, leeks, coriander, tender ginger, fresh garlic and other spring fresh products to choose from. Second, with the help of seasonal vegetables, the five internal organs can be dissipated.
In addition, in terms of the choice of taste, the predecessor of the medicine king Sun Simiao Youyun: "In spring, it is advisable to save acid, increase sweetness, and nourish the spleen", and why less sour and more sweet, this is mainly because spring is the season for liver expression, but in early spring, the liver qi is more fragile, so the spleen is needed to supplement it in early spring.
Therefore, as early spring approaches, you must eat more "sweet mouths" to enhance the spleen and stomach, just like honey and red dates, rock sugar white fungus, peach gum yams, sugar cane, peaches and plums can be eaten more.
So if there are friends here who want to eat meat and be happy, and want to have a healthy spleen and stomach, then it is best to learn to pickle some pickled ginger to eat, as the old saying goes, "a piece of ginger in spring, tiger soup for breakfast." "In addition, there are abundant products before and after the spring solstice, and there is a lot of possibility of feasting, so how can you not get the help of ginger slices before this gluttonous feast? Here it is recommended that you can pickle some pickled ginger to increase the taste and open up your appetite.
Regarding the health and disease healing effect of ginger, it has been recorded in ancient times. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius had the saying of "not withdrawing ginger food", that is, Confucius could not do without ginger in his diet all year round, and in that era of war and displacement, Confucius lived to be 73 years old, which is closely related to Confucius's emphasis on eating ginger.
Li Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty also pointed out the wonderful use of ginger in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Ginger, hard but not hard, can be vegetable, can be and, can be fruit, it can be seen that compared with ginseng, deer antler and other precious Chinese medicinal materials, ginger is cheap and effective, can be used for both medicine and food, is a necessary product to nourish the spleen and stomach, health and disease prevention."
So here, I would like to introduce you to the steps of making a home-cooked vinegar pickled ginger:
1. Wash the ginger, do not peel it, and cut it into thin slices. Ginger peel has an astringent effect and can balance the pungency of ginger.
2. Sprinkle salt on the ginger slices and marinate them for a while to avoid too much water spoilage of the ginger slices, which will also make the ginger slices more crisp and tender. So don't eat too salty, otherwise the cells in your body will also be in a state of dehydration. If you let it sit for an hour, a lot of water will come out.
3. Squeeze out the water and dry. The water is very salty, and the ginger slices are not salty. Squeeze until you can't squeeze out the water, you can also use kitchen paper to suck it up and make the ginger slices as dry as possible. Then it's time to put it in the jar.
4. Soak ginger in vinegar. I used to think that there were too many ginger slices, and the bottle couldn't fit down, naïve, after killing the water, the ginger slices were shriveled and crispy, and a bottle was dissatisfied, only half a bottle was slammed. Cover the vinegar over the ginger slices and let the ginger slices suck up the juice in the rice vinegar!
5. The vinegar itself is preservative, and it can be stored at room temperature. Marinate today, and eat it the next day. Every time you use clean chopsticks to pick it up, it's the right solution, and cover it after clipping.
How to eat: Eat in the morning, 1-2 tablets at a time. Women should not eat for 3 days before menstruation, but they can eat after 3 days. If you don't have time to make it, or have high requirements for the quality of ginger, here is a recommendation for this ready-made vinegar soaked ginger made of Tongling white ginger, handmade with conscience, no additives.
Delicious ginger can make people who don't like to eat ginger fall in love with eating ginger and play a silent role in the body.
We've found a great ready-to-eat product. After comparing no less than 10 suppliers, after tasting, this one is close to a full score. There is no messy addition at all, handmade with conscience, ready-made vinegar pickled ginger without additives.
No additives: acid is nourishing the liver, if you eat a lot of additives, you need to use the liver to metabolize, the liver is affected, and the gains outweigh the losses. Old vinegar: Ginger should be tender Tongling ginger, and vinegar should be old. The vinegar of ginger is made of the most authentic old vinegar, and their aged vinegar brewing technology is a nationally recognized old vinegar brewing technique and is included as a national intangible cultural heritage.
Tongling white ginger: one of the "eight treasures" of Tongling, a perennial herbaceous plant, an annual cultivated crop. Tongling ginger has been scientifically identified by the Horticulture Institute of Anhui Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and belongs to the type of white ginger and row ginger. The fresh ginger skin is white and slightly yellow, the ginger is bergamot-shaped, and the petals are thick and fat. Plump, white and juicy, spicy but not choking. Tongling ginger has long been famous for its characteristics of "large piece and thin skin, juicy and less residue, crisp and tender meat, and rich fragrance".
It is recommended to eat together with breakfast every morning, 7 or 9 o'clock in the morning is the time when the human body's qi and blood flow into the Yangming stomach meridian, eating ginger at this time can best raise yang qi, and the feeling of appetite early in the morning is too refreshing, chew it, the taste of ginger and vinegar is perfectly combined, very crisp and fragrant.
Vinegar pickled ginger is especially suitable for:
Spleen and stomach deficiency and cold. Cold hands and feet.
Particularly susceptible to colds.
Stomach ache from a cold. Yang deficiency body cold.
No appetite. Wet and cold.
But the amount of ginger eaten should be controlled. Don't eat too much. Ginger is warm, and if you eat too much, it will irritate the stomach lining and increase stomach heat, and the effect will be the opposite. ”

The Spring Oriole is one of the four famous songs of the Tang Dynasty. 啭 means beautiful singing. The Tang Dynasty's "Jiaofang Ji" recorded: Gaozong Xiaosheng law, hearing the sound of the wind and leaves and birds, all followed the festival. Taste the morning sitting, smell the sound of the warbler, and order the musician Bai Mingda to write it as "Spring Oriole", and later it is also a dance music. 」
Tang Gaozong Li Zhi knew the rhythm of music, and when he heard the sound of the wind blowing the leaves and the sound of birds chirping, he could dance to the beat. One morning, when I heard the sound of the morning warbler, it was very beautiful, so I ordered Bai Mingda, a musician in Qiuzi (now Kuqa, Xinjiang), to compose a tune and choreograph it according to the song.
This song was once introduced to Japan, and now there is "Spring Oriole" in Japanese gagaku. The domestic "Spring Oriole" plays different instrumental music and different styles, and the flute can best interpret the feeling of the spring warbler's chirping. It is played with percussion and has a distinct rhythm, which is most suitable for girls with soft waists to dance.
