today
We ushered in – Qingming
Of the twenty-four solar terms, there is only clarity
It is both a festival and a festival
Peach blossoms bloom and willows turn green
The warblers are long and the wind and rain are light
Everywhere gives people a sense of freshness and clarity
"Qingming" got its name from this

Gusts and winds blow green fields
Hundreds of flowers scrambled to hang on to the treetops
A drizzle of rain soaked the earth
Painted into a poetic and fresh ink painting
The pear blossom wind is clear
The wanderer is half out of town in search of spring
Frolicking in the countryside and letting go
This is a good time to step on the green and enjoy the spring

Qingming Three Waits
A waiting for Tong Shihua
Pure white paulownia flowers bloom in the wind
Flowers blossom and blossom, a few years
The second field mouse turns into a wagtail
All things come into being to the sun
The yin-loving voles returned to the cave
The three rainbows began to see
Colorful neon bridge
Freeze time is the most beautiful moment

Qingming poetry
“
There are mountains around Guo under the white, and there are no guests in Qingming who do not miss home.
——(Ming) Gao Qi's Excerpt from "The Princes in the Qingming Pavilion"
”
People say that the sunset is the end of the world
I don't see home at the end of the world
Clear this moment of drizzle
It can cause people to miss home
A life that has gone through vicissitudes
The most beloved
Still the place to go
Hugh thinks of his homeland and tries new tea with a new fire.
Poetry and wine take advantage of the years.
——(Song) An excerpt from Su Shi's "Wangjiangnan ChaoranTaizuo"
Hometown, deceased, story
There will always be some inadvertent moment
It's right in front of our eyes
Vividly remembered
And Qingming
It gives Acacia the most solemn sense of ceremony
The pear blossom wind is clear, and the wanderer is looking for spring and half out of the city.
——(Song) Excerpt from Wu Weixin's "Su Causeway Qingming Matter"
In the pen of Wu Weixin in the Song Dynasty
It's the wind and the sun
The willows are verdant and the warblers are chirping
People go on outings together and have fun
Qingming health
[Clothes] Wear a few more pieces, be prepared
Qingming season, warm and cold, cloudy and sunny, because the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, people can wear slightly thin clothes when the sun temperature is high at noon, but if you still dress like that in the morning and evening, you will feel cool.
【Food】Diet should be light, eat less hair
Qingming season is the season of chronic diseases such as asthma, hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and if you eat hair products at this time, it is likely to induce these diseases. Therefore, it is not advisable to eat "hair" foods, such as mutton, chicken, etc.; you can eat more seasonal vegetables, such as leeks, sweet potatoes, cabbage, radish, taro, cabbage, etc.
Diet adjustment should be regular and quantitative, and do not overeat. For obese people, it is necessary to reduce sweets and limit calorie intake. For elderly people with hypertension, special emphasis should be placed on a low-salt diet, and potassium intake should also be increased.
【Drink】 Chrysanthemum tea nourishes liver choleretic, dispersing winter cold and evil
During the Qingming Dynasty, the weather is warm and yang, and traditional health care theory believes that "spring corresponds to the liver", so the spring liver is often healthy. At this time, you can choose to drink chrysanthemum tea with the effect of evacuating wind and heat and clearing the liver and eyes, which can not only nourish the liver choleretic, dredge the meridians, but also use this to spread the cold evil accumulated in the body in a winter.
Sleeping more is not a solution to spring sleepiness
To solve the spring sleepiness, sleep more instead of the solution. You may wish to often open the window to ventilate, so that indoor air circulation; increase outdoor activities, appropriately increase the appropriate physical exercise programs; choose to listen to some dynamic music, etc., can help keep your mind clear.
【Move】Multi-activity, keep your mood comfortable
From the perspective of Chinese medicine, the Tuna Pranayama method is beneficial to the body's yang qi. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone wear loose clothes, try to move as much as possible, but also keep a comfortable mood, and choose a gentle exercise method.
