Luo Shuwei, a historian and researcher at the Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences, introduced that every year on February 19 or 20 of the Gregorian calendar, when the sun reaches 330 degrees of the ecliptic longitude, it enters the "rain" solar term, which is the second of the twenty-four solar terms and the second solar term in spring. "Rain" and "valley rain", "light snow" and "heavy snow" are the same as the solar terms that indicate the precipitation phenomenon, but it does not mean that there must be rain on this day, but it only indicates that "the east wind thaws and scatters into rain", and the warm and soft spring has quietly arrived.
During the "rainy" season, the temperature in most parts of the mainland rises to above zero degrees Celsius, the frozen river water gradually thaws, "the seven or nine rivers open, eight or nine geese come", the spring wind and rain, the moisturizing is silent, and the "rainwater" has thus become a festival full of life connotation.
"Rainwater" three seasons: one wait for otters to sacrifice fish; two wait for the wild geese to come; three wait for grass and trees to sprout; "rainwater" flower letter: one wait for rape flowers to bloom, two wait for apricot blossoms with rain, and three wait for plum flowers to bloom. Especially in the Jiangnan region, golden canola flowers spread over the mountains, highlighting the beauty of spring in the world. "At night, the spring rain is weeping, and the spring water is new and dissatisfied with the pond. The wind of the sunset plain is everywhere, and the cauliflower is fragrant with beans and flowers. The Qing Dynasty poet Wang Wenzhi vividly depicted the beautiful and dustless scene of Jiangnan, flowers blooming everywhere, and spring in the "Peaceful Road".
During the "rain" season, the number of holiday hours and intensity increase relatively, and the temperature rises rapidly, but the active cold air does not stop, and "spring cold" occurs from time to time. In the face of such weather, how should the public take care of health care? Luo Shuwei combined folk traditions and health experts suggested that as the weather warms up, the skin texture of the human body begins to loosen, the ability to resist wind and cold weakens, and it is still necessary to keep warm at any time, but the "spring cover" at this time should be timely and moderate.
During the "rainy" season, the surface moisture gradually increases, warm and moist, which is beneficial to nourishing the stomach and yang qi, and strengthening the spleen and dampness. In terms of diet, we should pay attention to nutritional balance, five tastes are not biased, often eat fresh fruits and vegetables, eat less greasy, raw and cold things, and pay attention to spiritual adjustment, so that work and leisure are moderate, living and living regularly, in order to clear evil and dampness, and smooth liver qi.
It is also important to pay attention to personal health care. The earth spring returns, all things recover, all kinds of bacteria, viruses are very easy to breed and spread, should be actively prevented from all aspects, to protect themselves. Exercise regularly and engage in aerobic exercise to improve and enhance your ability to resist diseases.
