On April 19, 2024, the "Guyu" solar term begins, and the rainfall is very abundant, which traditionally coincides with the farmers who are busy with spring ploughing and the seedlings in the rice fields are also in need of abundant rainwater to nourish them, so the season is named "Guyu". There are also some precautions for folk health preservation during this season.

In this season, eat more foods that can strengthen the spleen and remove dampness, such as barley and yam, as well as seeds, black beans, winter melon, yams, lilies, fungus, etc., which can be used to eat vegetables or porridge, which is the most nourishing for the spleen and stomach. Cereals such as black sesame seeds and wheat germ are rich in B vitamins, which help relieve mental stress and regulate mood, and are also very suitable for consumption during the rains.
4. Don't eat ice and less spicy
