1. Chinese Food Culture and Chinese Food Culture

Chinese Food Culture Chinese Food World (24 Solar Terms - Great Cold)

Chinese cooking is China's great contribution to human food production and China's great contribution to human civilization. In China, the word "cooking" appears in the interpretation of "Ding" gua in the Yi Chuan written between the Warring States and the Qin and Han Dynasties, "cooking also with wooden fire." The gist is to set up firewood under the top, ventilate the fire, cook or grill food until cooked. So, the original meaning of cooking is to cook (grill) food. The word cooking appeared in the Warring States Qin and Han Dynasties, which does not mean that cooking also appeared in the Warring States or qin and Han dynasties. Because, in ancient history and legend, the invention of drilling wood for fire and teaching the people to cook food is at least thousands of years away from the Warring States period, but in fact, the history of China's ancestors using fire is earlier, beginning in the Beijing Ape Man Era, which is 500,000 or 600,000 years ago. In the literature after the I Ching, "cooking" and "cuisine" were used to summarize and substitute words; in modern times, the word "cooking" was used more widely, which was confirmed by the continuous use and recognition of the society; and it is still used today. At the same time, it is more widely used and developed. The current distinction between the word cooking and cooking is very clear, cooking covers cooking, cooking is an integral part of cooking; the modern word cooking has been extended to refer to the technical method of making food, called "cooking process". Culinary culture in a broad sense includes not only the culture of food production - cooking culture, but also the culture of food consumption - food culture. Culinary culture is "the sum of the material and spiritual phenomena and their connections included in the production and consumption of food in human society" Chinese cooking comes from practice and, at the same time, is tested by time. I believe that Chinese cooking will certainly make great contributions to the healthy development of mankind in the new era!

"Food" is the basic condition for human beings to survive, culinary culture is in the process of human development from "Ru Mao drinking blood" to "fire reference" development of "cooked food stage", "food culture" is the sublimation of human civilization diet development, from "Tiantou" (source) to "mouth (nutrition)" Scientific development process; is an overall food chain for the healthy development of human beings. It includes the selection and cultivation of raw materials and harvesting to the transportation process and primary processing of raw materials, at the same time, it also includes the processing process of food and the entire formation process of semi-finished products and finished products; it also includes the specific embodiment before and during consumption and after consumption. Therefore, the establishment of the "Discipline of Chinese Food Culture" is necessary and also the need for the healthy development of mankind; it is also an important and inevitable demand for the sustainable development of mankind.

Dr. Sun Yat-sen pointed out in the "Founding Strategy": "Cooking is also a way of art". "The art of cooking is born of civilization, and if it is not a race that is deeply pregnant with civilization, it is not exquisite; if it is not refined, the art of cooking is not good." The beauty of Chinese cooking is enough to show the depth of evolution..."

Second, the people take food as heaven

Chinese people take "the people take food as the sky" as the theoretical basis, and the Chinese "heavy food" ideology and the traditional cultural concept of "heavy nourishment" have developed so far, and the traditional cultural essence of "the unity of heaven and man" and "Taoist nature" has always accompanied the development of society and the development direction of people's health!

1. Ancient China divided the year according to the climate. That is, standing spring, rain, sting, spring equinox, Qingming, valley rain, lixia, small full, mangsang, summer solstice, small summer, big summer, autumn, summer, white dew, autumn equinox, cold dew, frost fall, standing winter, light snow, heavy snow, winter solstice, small cold and big cold.

There are also ethnic characteristics. Henan Xinyang, As well as Zhoukou, Nanyang and other places like to eat dumplings, flat food and so on.

3. Festivals for the development of traditional Chinese culture; 1. Characters (such as Lao Tzu); 2. Year and Month (February 2, Dragon Rising), Chinese New Year's Eve Festival; 3. Festivals (The Qin Dynasty has begun the Autumn Equinox Festival), etc.;

1. Characters: such as Lao Tzu; Lao Tzu Memorial Day; Traditional Chinese Culture - The Originator of Taoism; Put Forward: Human Law, Earth Law Heaven, Heaven law Tao, "Heaven and Man Unity, Dao Law Nature" theory; to this day is still the element and essence of traditional cultural inheritance.

2. Seasons: February 2nd Dragon looks up; dragon - symbol of the Chinese nation; totem, take off! At present, there is a custom of eating dumplings and eating pancakes in the north; it means reunion;

3. Autumn Equinox: It used to be the "Festival of the Moon Festival"; in 2018, with the consent of the State Council, the "Autumn Equinox Festival" was established as the "Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival"; at present, it is mainly based on literary and artistic performances and related events;

4. Spring Ploughing Festival, (one acre and three points of land, first agricultural altar); can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty; the Ming and Qing emperors reached their peak.

IV. Establishment of "Beijing Anniversary Day" and "Beijing Urban Construction Anniversary"

Beijing - the temple of human civilization - Beijing, civilization anniversary! At the same time, according to the uniqueness of the history of the development of the Chinese nation, the historical figures and events of certain commemorative significance in different periods and influential solar terms can be sorted out as civilized festivals. "Beijing Anniversary" and "Beijing City Founding Anniversary"! Discovery and citation of "Peking man" and fire; the beginning of cooked food and so on. Beijing, the source of human civilization!

The Forbidden City in Beijing has the oldest history (the five palaces in the world: Versailles in France in 1624; Buckingham Palace in 1703, which was converted into the private bedroom of King III in 1761; the Kremlin was built in 1320; the White House in the United States was built in 1797); The Forbidden City in Beijing has a long history and is the first of the "five palaces" in the world! (The Forbidden City in Beijing dates back to the "Jin Daning Palace" built in 1179 AD, and even to the palace built by Empress Xiao of the Liao Dynasty on Qionghua Island around 1000 AD.) 1, the construction of all the palace areas, the Forbidden City of Beijing (Forbidden City) is 1420 years old, with the world's oldest Forbidden City. Early time, large area! 2, in the pre-Qin Jicheng former site (Guang'anmen South) step by step development, located in the center of The Capital City of Nanjing and Jinzhong in Liaoning Province, the discovery of pre-Qin relics and so on! 3, "The origin of Beijing City" is "birthday", historiography is also called futurology; the discovery of Jicheng, (Water Sutra Note) is recorded; it has a long history of 3200 years! (In 1995, Beijing held a grand "commemoration of the 3040th anniversary of the founding of Beijing, officially confirming the beginning of the founding of Beijing in 1045 BC", due to many objections, it has not been carried out again.) Greater Beijing, that is, Jicheng, predates Yandu by 134 years) 4, the discovery of the Beijingers and the beginning of the "fire" quotation of cooked food, etc. Beijing, the source of civilization!

Beijing City (Founding Day): In 1987, Mr. Hou Renzhi proposed "Beijing City Building Day"; in 1995, Beijing Held a Commemoration of the 3040Th Anniversary of the Founding of Beijing City; Officially Confirmed that Beijing City was built in 1045 BC; According to the actual archaeology, it was 134 years earlier than this time; so far Beijing has been founded in 3200 years! Archaeology is constantly evolving!

At present, the country has a city founding day, the most amazing is ancient Italy (the ancient city of Rome, April 21, 753 BC; currently called the "founding day"; the most solemn is the city of Moscow, founded in 1147, the largest scale of the founding day; the most official example --- the city of St. Petersburg, May 27, 1703, is still engaged in celebrations; solemn and enthusiastic. )

5. Chinese etiquette in ceremonial culture;

1, the culture of sacrifice to the heavens (rich food for the sacrifice of the heavens): the culture of worship of the gods in ancient times on the mainland, with a long history; the Yellow Emperor in ancient times "sealed Zen (shan Shan yin) heaven and earth," began; the gods were arranged, Yao "is the fate of Xihe, Qin Ruohaotian"; the Zhou metric system of ritual music, the sacrifice ceremony "ceremonial preparation", the form and specifications gradually standardized. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the "Winter Solstice Day" was the "Great Ceremony of the Great Ceremony", and the "Great Altar Ceremony" was held on this day, so the altar ceremony was also called the "Winter Solstice Ceremony". The Western Han, Sui, Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties held: "Heaven and Earth and Ancestry". Since the Qin and Han dynasties, successive feudal emperors have taken "the king, the father and the mother of heaven and the earth, as the son of heaven" as their political philosophy; to "respect the heavens and respect the earth" as their own responsibility; successive dynasties have built altars in the "sun of the country" for the purpose of holding "heavenly sacrifice ceremonies"; to the Tang dynasty to the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties (brilliant); altars: set up "jade, fruits, vegetables, baskets, buckets, animals, etc." to prepare firewood, burn incense candles, worship the emperor God, and pray for blessings with "rang(rang) disasters"! During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the emperor's altar ceremonies were: "Spring First Moon Heaven and Earth and Ancestral Ceremony", Spring First Moon Prayer Valley Great Ceremony, Mengxia Changyan (Yuyin) Great Ceremony, Midsummer Great Ceremony Winter Solstice Altar Ceremony; Winter Solstice Ceremony (Winter Solstice Is As Big as The Year) The Winter Solstice is also known as the Long Solstice, "A Yang Qi Begins from the Earth" that is, "A Yang Capital Begins"; so the ancients held an "altar ceremony" on the day of the winter solstice. Blessing: "Grain is abundant, the wind and rain are smooth"! (According to records, on December 23, 1924, Yuan Shikai, the president of the Republic of China, only held a ceremonial worship; it was also the end of the state sacrifice system that lasted for more than 3,000 years.) It can be said that the "sacrificial food" is the oldest and most spectacular "ritual food" found so far. Pray: "The grain is abundant, the wind and rain are smooth"! The people have enough food and clothing, live and work in peace and contentment... Social peace!

2. Court food ceremony (imperial court tribute, pea yellow, imperial meal, etc.);

Traditional food etiquette: meal sharing and sharing, etiquette and invitation, seat etiquette, eating etiquette; 4, modern food etiquette; colorful!

6. Cultural Heritage: 1), on May 20, 2006, the 24 solar terms were included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list of the mainland. 2), on November 30, 2016, the 24 solar terms were included in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List. 3), the twenty-four solar terms are known in the international meteorological community as "China's fifth major invention". Cultural heritage, a culture that makes Chinese people very proud, is also a culture that is very worthy of promotion.

1. In ancient China, the seasons of the year were divided according to the climate. That is, standing spring, rain, sting, spring equinox, Qingming, valley rain, lixia, small full, mangsang, summer solstice, small summer, big summer, autumn, summer, white dew, autumn equinox, cold dew, frost fall, standing winter, light snow, heavy snow, winter solstice, small cold and big cold.

2. The Chinese nation has four major inventions of the ancient civilization, is a country with a long history of more than 5,000 years, the reason is that China has its own unique cultural genes and inheritance veins; a very important point is that China's traditional festival culture is a very important part. For example; Four Stands (Li Chun, Li Xia, Li Qiu, Li Dong) and 24 solar terms! Li Chun (The first of the twenty-four solar terms of Li Chun is also the first of spring. Li Chun, the agricultural proverb has the proverb "spring hits six or nine heads". Although spring has started, it is developing in a warm direction; however, it is still relatively cold; there are still seven nines, eight nines, and nine nines. It is not until the spring equinox sowing season that it begins to have a real warm sun.

The 24 solar terms on the mainland can be traced back to the source (the 24 solar terms are the crystallization of the long concrete practice of the Chinese nation for thousands or even tens of thousands of years and the wisdom of the working people). As early as the Han Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Warring States in ancient BC, and even the Xia Shang Zhou and Yao Shunyu had a certain range of accounts of calendars and solar terms. The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Book of Changes, the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic... These ancient books... The new progress of research and the new discovery of cultural relics excavated from historical sites will bring us new worlds to the study of the twenty-four solar terms, and we will continue to excavate new achievements in astronomical solar terms.

The mainland is an ancient civilization of agriculture, farming, farming, and weaving, and the hard work and wisdom of the working people on the mainland have constantly summed up experience; a history and culture have been formed. It was mainly established with the "Yellow River Basin" as the main feature and root vein, and the "climate and species" as the basis. Judging from the historical documents, the spring and winter solstice activities of the mainland dynasties and dynasties are grand and rich. It has exceeded the festivals and festivals to form a festival, so many folk customs have been deduced in the long history of humanity.

Wine Culture:

At present, there are "Liu Ling Drunken Wine, Luzhou Old Cellar, Li Du Yuan Dynasty Shochu Workshop Site (Nanchang, Jiangxi)" National Industrial Heritage, National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit; historical wines such as Du Kang wine and Hengshui Old White Dry Wine are old wines and brand wines with a historical process of development, which were founded around the Han Dynasty.

At present, the Chinese 24 solar terms seasonal recipes (staple foods, side foods, soups, snacks) that need to be researched and developed urgently; according to archaeological data; reported by the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences on September 8, 2021; Chinese drinking "beer" (qujiu) 9,000 years ago; according to pottery excavated at the Qiaotou site. In the United States, The Public Science Library. Plos one impurities published entitled "Early Evidence of Drinking on the Ground in the Foreground for Nine Thousand Years in Southern China"; grain wine, (non-modern beer); November 30, 2021 China Archaeological Network of the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences reported: The archaeological team of Shandong University published "Analysis of Tea Remains in the First Warring States Tomb of Xigang Cemetery, The Ancient City of Zoucheng, Shandong" (Archaeology and Cultural Relics, No. 5, 2021), In the original porcelain bowl buried with the No. 1 Warring States Tomb in the Xigang Cemetery of Zoucheng City, Jining City, Shandong Province, the excavated tea samples are boiled (brewed) tea residues, which are the earliest known tea remains in the world, and the physical evidence of the origin of the world tea culture is at least 300 years in advance. It is reported that the earliest tea objects of the previous archaeological discovery were excavated from the Western Han Dynasty Jingdiyang Mausoleum. This discovery of the Ancient City of the Kingdom of Qi traces the physical evidence of the origin of tea culture back to the early warring states period (453 BC to 410 BC), more than 300 years ahead. The discovery and confirmation of the remains of Xigang M1 tea leaves provide empirical materials for the study of the early origin and spread of tea.

The traditional Chinese culture "Tianyuan Place" is mainly embodied in ancient architecture and the concept of "the unity of heaven and man"; to this day, it is still the concept we advocate; and it plays a vital role.

Chinese food culture is from the head of the field to the mouth (firmly grasp the food safety), the pastoral (round) to the mouth (the mouth is the garden and the square); the circle is complete! The source of court food ingredients and traditional food processing techniques can be further summarized and improved; even if it is inherited, it is easy to carry forward!

The development and utilization of the heavenly offering food and the folk celestial offering food of the imperial court (successive dynasties) has a vast space! The shape of the food, the meaning of the size, and so on! Festive colors such as red, orange, etc. can be used on holidays; other seasonal foods and teas should be seasonal and unique. How to choose the "beauty in the palace" and the folk "intangible cultural heritage", highlighting the thick connotation of Chinese culture! Such as the beautiful scenery of the palace in different seasons and the immortal chapters of piano and chess calligraphy and painting!

I believe that on the road of "cultural self-confidence, road self-confidence, institutional self-confidence, and national self-confidence", Chinese food culture will surely flourish on the road of healthy development of mankind, and our tomorrow will be even better!

Twenty-four solar terms and food culture

All year round, four seasons of health; scientific health, appropriate supplementation; reasonable collocation, balanced diet! When it comes to heaven, eat carefully; fear the wisdom of the ancients.

Proverb: "Spring rain frightens the spring valley days, summer is full of summer and summer is connected;

In autumn, frost falls in the dew, and winter snow and snow are small and cold in winter. ”

"Nineteen twenty-nine does not shoot, three-nine-nine-nine ice walks."

Five-nine-six-nine along the river (riverside) to see the willows, seven nine rivers open eight nine geese come;

Nine nine plus one nine, ploughing cattle everywhere. ”

Spring, summer, autumn harvest, winter Tibet; every time to a certain season, there are different ingredients gradually mature, so eat "vegetables at the beginning" in spring, eat "fat vegetables and fruits" in summer; in autumn, you must eat "full fruits and vegetables", and eat "rich food" in winter.

Chinese Food Culture Chinese Food World (24 Solar Terms - Great Cold)

(January 20, 2022, today, great cold)

The Great Cold is the 24th of the twenty-four solar terms (the sixth solar term of winter), marking the official beginning of the harsh winter season; the Great Cold is the end of the solar cycle and the opening of the next seasonal cycle, that is, the beginning of the new year's Spring Festival. The ancients said: "The reverse pole of the cold is called the great cold." "Great cold, big cold, no wind is also cold" "little cold, big cold, cold into a ball", these proverbs show that the great cold festival is also a cold period of the year. At this time, the cold wave moved south in a big way, and wave after wave, the usual performance is: strong wind, low temperature, the snow on the ground does not melt, showing a cold scene of ice and snow, cold and frozen. When it is cold, it is also a time to temper people's will.

After the cold, step into the spring! The ancients said: "Creation is wordless but sentient, and every cold is born in spring." "The great cold hides the news of spring, and in the extreme deep cold, there are spring colors that begin to sprout quietly, and the winter day of the north wind is nurturing a bright spring. After the great cold, there will be a new spring! In the cold season, "if you turn around, you will collide with the spring", and the spring is taking light steps towards us, quietly, quietly, and quietly! Life is the same, ups and downs are like the rotation of the four seasons, there is always a difficult journey of cold and frozen, however, the cold fades to the earth to rejuvenate, after tempering can break the ground to rebirth, endure winter loneliness, and finally see the prosperity of March.

"Leng Yan Jing": "Sweeping the floor sweeps the heart, the heart does not sweep the air, everyone sweeps the heart, and everywhere in the world is impure." ”

While revisiting the supplement with the big cold diet, it also increases the supplement of nutrition: winter is the best order for supplementation! Sanjiu supplement, can eat the following three types of food. The first is that dried fruits and grains are the basis of winter food supplements, mainly to provide the body with sufficient calories to resist the cold. Xiao Han and winter are especially suitable for eating more red and black grains, such as red beans, black beans, black rice, etc. Dried fruits are also good tonics, such as chestnuts, red dates, etc., can be eaten alone, can also be added to the soup when cooking, or mix all kinds of bean grain and dried fruits to cook porridge. At the same time, meat meat is the most suitable food in winter, especially the best soup, which can play a tonic role and avoid greasy fat and sugar to increase the burden on the spleen and stomach. Such as beef and mutton soup, chicken soup, duck soup. Warm food Chinese medicine believes that cold is yin and evil, the coldest festival is also the most prosperous period of yin and evil, from the perspective of diet and health, we must pay special attention to eating more warm and hot food in the daily diet to supplement the body, and defend against the invasion of the cold climate on the human body. Winter disease prevention focuses on health...

The Yuan Dynasty's "Drinking and Eating" by Ku Sihui said: "... Winter is cold, it is advisable to eat yellow to cure its cold with heat. That is to say, eat less raw and cold, but it is not advisable to eat some foods with high calories in the yin and yang in a targeted manner. It is advisable to eat more brown rice, corn, wheat black beans, peas and other legumes, pears, apples, orange bananas, cauliflower and other vegetables and fruits, beef and mutton, goose meat, fish and other meats

The degree of coldness during this time of "counting nine cold days, cold in three nines" can be seen from the saying that "1929 does not shoot, three nines and nines walk on ice"! In the cold customs, people are busy, and people are busy writing Spring Festival, cutting window flowers to buy New Year paintings, colored lanterns, firecrackers, incense, etc. to prepare for the Spring Festival.

"Great Han Yin" Song (Shao Yong) The old snow has not yet disappeared, and the new snow has been crowded. Frozen silver bed in front of the steps, ice stalactites at the eaves. The sun is shining, and the wind is raging. The population has its own tongue and speech

Can't throw up.

"Great Cold" Song (Lu You) The big cold snow has not subsided, the closed house can not go out, poor Cut Cloud Crown, the bureau is allowed to kneel. My car is hanging, and I have been driving for a long time. Whiskers take a part, relatively all day long. The dead sheep commandments Doraki, the learning path should be one, the letter can be zong que li, and the hundred clans can be deposed. For the sake of the mountain, do not rest, meet with Gao Wei. Although the age of decadence is forced, the widow has beauty.

The Great Treatise on the Four Qi Tones of The Su Qing says: "Lying down early and getting up late, we will wait for the daylight... This winter qi should be, and the way to cultivate Tibet is also. In winter, everyone may wish to "steal a little laziness", work at sunrise, and rest at sunset. On the contrary, it is easy to consume yang and yin essence, which is not conducive to health. The great cold festival, the cold and the cold, the cold and evil invade people, it is easy to make the human body's qi and blood epidemic poor, easy to get diseases; therefore, at this time, it is very important to pay attention to health and yang replenishment.

"Health care depends on oneself, keep warm and drive away evil spirits to be righteous; keep the right and innovate to welcome the sunrise, and a happy life is the most satisfactory!"

From the corresponding relationship between the five elements and the five viscera and the seasons, the kidney should be winter, belong to the water, the main collection, so "winter kidney" is the basic principle of Chinese medicine health, black sesame, black fungus, black beans and other black foods are the preferred food for winter kidney. In addition, nut foods such as walnuts, cinnamon balls, and chestnuts are also good for the kidneys in winter. The cold winter season is a suitable season for replenishment. Chinese medicine believes that autumn supplements are suitable for "peace", and winter supplements are suitable for "sealing". As the saying goes, "three nine supplement a winter, the next year no pain", in order to resist the cold to replenish vitality, in the winter should eat less raw and cold things. Supplements should be appropriate, which varies from person to person; meal balance, daily balance; dietary balance is the basis of health!

In the coldest time of the year, the wanderers who are outside will soon embark on the journey home, return, reunion, reunion, we begin to miss all the beautiful things! In this beautiful day when spring is coming and the new year is coming, may everyone be warm in winter and not cold in spring; there are lights in the dark, umbrellas in the rain, and love on the road of life! Love forever!!

(As the folk proverb goes: "Delicious but dumplings", the north pays great attention to "eating" in the 24 solar terms and changing seasons; dumplings are the highlight!) )

Customs people attach great importance to the cold, mainly to increase heat, drive away the cold and keep warm! In winter, the northern climate is dry, and another principle of the cold is to drink more water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and eat less irritating foods such as sour and spicy. At the same time, we must persist in exercising; there is a folk proverb that says: "Move in the winter, make less of a disease; lazy in the winter, drink more medicine and a bowl." "People who are good at health care should insist on physical exercise in winter to achieve the effect of nourishing the liver and kidneys, relieving the muscles and activating the network, smoothing the qi pulse, and enhancing their own resistance."

In the Central Plains, the food of "dumplings" and "flat food" is preferred; dumplings and dumpling soup are eaten together, and the eating habit of "original soup and original food" is very interesting.

Appropriate references to "wine" and "tea", whether it is white wine or rice wine and various teas, must be decided according to their own physique; this is "different from person to person!" ”

In terms of diet, it is necessary to eat more foods with high calories and brain and blood invigorating effects, such as mutton, beef, dairy, and fish, and drink some teas, white tea, Pu'er and other drinks according to personal preferences. As the night time is getting longer and longer, the day time is getting shorter and shorter, the yang is hidden, the yin is gradually flourishing, and the temperature is lower; it is necessary to participate in more recreational activities, especially the elderly and the growing young people, and bask in the sun; in order to arouse enthusiasm and yearning for life.

During the little cold season, the ancient Chinese literati and inkers popularly held drinking and cold banquets, nine elegant people gathered together, nine people every nine days to take turns to feast; everyone gathered around the stove to drink and chant poems. After the nine people have finished taking turns, the cold winter day will pass. The ancient Chinese people's life of the new year is like a ritual of sincere worship in the heart, reflecting the beauty of a period of years. Those things related to classical traditional culture and folklore should be excavated and known by most people as these silent beauty, and we must not forget!

Chinese people have their own lot of good food culture and health culture; according to

The principle of Chinese medicine "raising yin in autumn and winter", "no disturbance to the yang", "making up for the void, and warming the cold" In the winter dietary principle, more warm foods should be eaten for conditioning to improve the body's cold tolerance. I hope to eat more mutton, chicken and other warm products; to warm up the yang; you can eat walnut porridge to nourish yin and solid essence; sweet potato porridge, nourish the liver and kidneys and so on. Kidney main salty taste, heart main bitter taste, salty can win the bitterness, so the taste of winter diet should be reduced salty and increase bitterness follow the principle of "eating less salty, eating more bitter" to supplement the heart qi and solidify the kidney qi. This season's diet should be reduced salty and bitter to eat more bitter food, bitter food in vegetables and wild vegetables mostly such as lettuce, fennel, apricots, grapefruit, almonds, lotus seeds, etc., is conducive to removing too much fire gas can help the heart yang, vary from person to person, play a role in nourishing the kidneys.
