"The valley rain is bright in spring, and the mountains and rivers are green." On April 19th, the last solar term of spring will be ushered in, Guyu, which is also a special solar term at the turn of spring and summer.
As the saying goes, spring grows and summer grows, autumn harvest and winter storage. When it comes to the valley rain solar term, spring ploughing will enter a busy period, and whether there can be a good harvest this year depends on whether a good foundation has been laid in spring. The same is true for the human body. Learn to adapt to the characteristics of the season to recuperate the body and mind, in order to harvest a good physical and mental state after the summer.
Regarding the customs and rules of the Guyu solar term, we should especially remind everyone: 1 do not move, 2 do not wash, 3 do not touch, 4 to eat, close to late spring, do not be careless, end the spring, and smoothly pass the alternation of spring and summer.
1. Do not move
Don't be angry
In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine in mainland China, there has always been a saying that "spring nourishes the liver, summer nourishes the heart, autumn nourishes the lungs, winter nourishes the kidneys, and nourishes the spleen and stomach all year round". Because the ancestors believed that the health of the five organs should be adjusted according to the seasonal changes, and each season has a focus, of which the spring health corresponds to the liver. As the old saying goes, anger hurts the liver, and long-term anger is bad for the liver. Spring is a changeable climate, which makes it easier for people to have mood swings. Therefore, we should remind everyone that when you encounter something unsatisfactory, remind yourself to take a few deep breaths first, let your emotions calm down, and then deal with things, and try not to get angry, so as not to affect your physical health.
2. Do not wash
Don't take a shower after exercising
Guyu is at the turn of spring and summer, the weather at this time is changeable, the temperature has risen significantly, and some places may usher in high temperature weather. As soon as the weather is hot, if you exercise a little, you will sweat profusely, which makes people feel unbearable heat, and you can't wait to take a cold shower to cool down. I want to remind everyone that just after the end of exercise, the pores of the body are open, and taking a bath at this time can easily lead to cold invasion and cold. After exercising, you should wipe off the sweat on your body with a towel and wait for 30 minutes to 1 hour before taking a shower.
3. Do not touch
Spring outings do not touch unknown flowers and plants
The Guyu solar term is approaching the May Day holiday, taking advantage of the rare small long holiday, many people have plans for spring outings, and the location of the trip is often in the wilderness. The air in the suburbs is very fresh, and the roadside is full of flowers and plants, which is pleasing to the eye, and you can't help but come forward to smell it. I would like to remind everyone that if it is a flower or plant that you don't know, try not to touch it at will, so as to avoid accidentally touching poisonous plants or allergens, which may cause physical discomfort.
4 吃要吃
Eat dampness-dispelling foods
Our old people often say that the rain in the valley does not dispel dampness, and it is soaked through a year. This sentence is to remind everyone that Guyu is the season of increased rain, the air humidity is high, and people are affected by the weather and are prone to heavy moisture in the body. At this time, you may wish to eat some dampness foods, such as kelp, red beans, barley, black beans, winter melon, etc., to maintain more health and well-being.
Below, I will recommend a dampness dissipation recipe suitable for the Guyu solar term.
