Don Yuanzhen. The rain washes the spring appearance, and Hirata has seen the dragon.
Sacrifice fish Yingpu Island, return to the wild goose over the peak.
The clouds are light and heavy, and the scenery is light and thick.
From spring to February, the flowers and shadows are heavy.
The tenth day of the first lunar month this year coincides with the rainy season. The rainy solar term is the second solar term of spring, marking the gradual change of weather from cold to warm, but still with the characteristics of spring cold and wet. Come, friends, please follow Dr. Li Yuxin from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Classical Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine) of our hospital into today's solar term health class to see how you will spend the rainy season.
There are some specific customs that are made on this day in various places. For example:
Birthday: In some places, on the day of the rainy season, the son-in-law and daughter will go to give the festival to the father-in-law and mother-in-law. They usually bring a two-foot-long red cotton belt, which is called "longevity", which means that they wish their father-in-law and mother-in-law a long and healthy life.
Busy spring ploughing: The rainy season marks the beginning of rainfall and the gradual increase in rainfall, and suitable precipitation is very important for the growth of crops. At this time, it is a good time to prepare for spring ploughing and spring sowing, and farmers are busy ploughing and weeding to prepare for spring ploughing.
These customs are all related to the characteristics of the rain solar term, reflecting people's awe of nature and love for life.
The Yellow Emperor's Neijing also made a clear guide to spring health: "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, and be slowed down, so that Zhisheng, born and not killed, given and not taken, rewarded and not punished, this spring should be, the way of health preservation." Otherwise, it hurts the liver, summer is cold, and there are few elders. "In this solar term, we should pay attention to the following aspects to adjust our physical state:
Cold. In the rainy season, it is warm and cold, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. Clothing should be avoided prematurely, especially to keep the back, abdomen and feet warm to avoid colds, diarrhea and joint diseases after the cold. The "spring cover" in the so-called "spring cover autumn freeze" is exactly what it means.
Tune in. The body should be moderately exercised, "spring and March, this is called hair Chen", everything recovers, and yang energy gradually grows. It is suitable to carry out some gentle exercises, such as walking (lying down at night and getting up early, walking in the court), tai chi, etc., to adapt to the characteristics of "hair aging" and "hair growth" in spring, which is beneficial to physical health.
Alignment. Spring belongs to the wood, which corresponds to the human liver. Spring is the season when liver qi is vigorous, and excessive mood swings may damage the liver. We should maintain a comfortable mood and avoid emotions such as anger, so as to comply with the growth of spring qi and the smooth flow of liver qi, which can effectively avoid abnormal fluctuations in blood pressure and stroke in patients with hypertension.
Adjust your diet. During the rainy season, the humidity is heavier, which is easy to affect the function of the spleen and stomach, and people will follow the principle of less sour and more sweet diet to maintain the spleen and stomach. It is recommended to eat foods that have the effect of strengthening the spleen and promoting dampness, such as millet, lotus seeds, yams, coix seeds, lentils, soybeans, taro, seeds, crucian carp, etc. The prescriptions from the "Taiping Huimin and Pharmacy Bureau" are the prescriptions of the season, such as the Four Gentlemen Soup and Shenling Baizhu San, which can be used medicinally or turned into dietary therapy.
As soon as the rain arrives, the drizzle moistens everything, and the temperature begins to gradually warm, welcome everyone to pay attention to our hospital to learn more about health knowledge, let us work together to "benefit the liver and protect the spleen, and cover the spring to a degree". If you feel unwell, you should come to the hospital for treatment and recuperation in time.
