Valley rain customs
1
Gu Yu eats spring
Before and after the rain in the valley, the toon is mellow and refreshing, and the nutritional value is high, so there is a saying that "the toon is as tender as silk before the rain". People say that picking and eating toons in spring is "eating spring". Fresh Tsubaki sprouts are rich in protein, carotene and a large amount of vitamin C, and its leaves, buds, roots, peels and fruits can be used as medicine, which has a variety of effects such as strengthening the stomach and regulating qi, stopping diarrhea and moisturizing the skin.

Gu Yu appreciates peonies
Before and after the valley rain is an important period for peony flowers to bloom, therefore, peony flowers are also called "valley rain flowers". "Gu Yu three dynasties to see peonies", so far, in Heze, Shandong, Luoyang, Henan and other places, every year in the valley rain season will be held peony flower meeting.

Gu Yu drinks tea
There is a custom of picking tea in the south of Guyu, and Guyu tea is also tea before rain, which is the spring tea picked in the rainy season, also called Erchun tea. Legend has it that Gu Yu's tea on this day will clear the fire, ward off evil spirits, and brighten the eyes. Therefore, no matter what the weather is on this day of Gu Yu, people will go to the tea mountain to pick some new tea and come back to make water.
Gu Yu has "five preventions"
1
Protect against the cold
After the valley rain, the cold wave weather is basically over. However, because it is in the transition stage from spring to summer, the windy weather in the north and south often alternates, so the temperature difference between the valley rain and the valley rain is a period of the year, sometimes hot as summer, and sometimes there will be strong cold air to the south, therefore, in terms of living and clothing, it is still necessary to properly "spring cover", especially those who go out early and return late should pay attention to the timely increase or decrease of clothes to avoid cold. But at this time, the "covering" should be moderate, so as not to sweat.
2
Fire Protection
After the rain in the valley, the yang energy in nature rises suddenly, and the spring yang should be in the liver, which is easy to cause hyperactivity of the liver yang, and then induce common diseases such as nasal cavity and gum bleeding, headache and dizziness, and red eye diseases in spring, which is the so-called "spring fire", commonly known as "upper fire". Attention should be paid to preventing "spring fires" and avoiding staying up late.
3
Hypoallergenic
Spring flowers bloom, peaches and apricots are gorgeous, and willows are fluttering, which is most likely to induce allergic diseases such as allergic hay fever, allergic rhinitis, and allergic asthma at this time.
Therefore, people with allergic constitution should pay special attention to protection during this period, avoid contact with allergens during outdoor activities, pay attention to reducing the intake of high-protein and high-calorie foods in diet, and go to the hospital in time when an allergic reaction occurs.
4
Anti-rheumatism
Due to the increase in rainfall and the increase in air humidity, rheumatism is prone to recurrence. In daily life, we should pay attention to the warmth of the joints, especially the bare parts are most likely to be invaded by dampness, so we should protect the joints when dressing; do not blow the wind and avoid the rain when the hair and skin are not dry; bask in the sun when the weather is fine, and sweat with appropriate exercise.
4
Anti-perspiration
Gu Yu is at the time of the transition of spring and summer, when the human body collectively diverges and is prone to sweating, and excessive sweating will affect the health of qi and blood in summer. Therefore, during the Guyu period, remember to follow the principle of "lazy remains, don't sweat profusely, and nourish dirty qi", and you can choose to go green, jog, fly kites, and baduan brocade.
