Reading guide: May 5 this year is the beginning of summer, and it is a "fierce day", we must keep in mind the traditional customs: one must move, two must raise, and three must eat, in order to be safe and happy in the rainy season.
Lixia is the 7th of the 24 solar terms and the first solar term of summer, and it means the beginning of summer. Generally on May 5~7 every year, when the mainland enters the rainy season, the days are warm and the days are long, and the plants grow rapidly.
Gu Wenyun: Dou refers to the southeast, Wei is Lixia, everything has grown up so far, so the name Lixia is also! Summer, in the ancient language, means big. All things have grown up so far, and they have been named Lixia.
This year's Lixia is coming at 8:09:51 a.m. on May 5, 2024, that is, the 27th day of the third month of the lunar calendar.
The ancients divided the beginning of summer into two types: early and late summer, and there are two kinds of divisions: one is to divide the lunar calendar according to the lunar month of the beginning of summer, the arrival of the beginning of summer in March is the early beginning of summer, and the arrival of the beginning of summer in April of the lunar calendar is the late beginning of summer!
The second is to divide according to the morning and evening of the beginning of summer, generally before 12 noon the arrival of the beginning of summer is the early beginning of summer, after 12 noon the arrival of the beginning of summer is the late beginning of summer.
This year, whether it is divided from the lunar month or the beginning of summer, it belongs to the early beginning of summer. However, in most rural areas, the beginning of summer is regarded as the morning and evening of the beginning of summer, that is, the time when the sun reaches 45 degrees of yellow longitude.
As the saying goes, "the early summer is cold, and the late summer is hot and the cattle die", the early summer is a cold summer, indicating that there is more rain this year, which makes the summer sunshine relatively less, not particularly hot, which is not conducive to the growth of crops. "The heat is not hot, and the grains do not bear fruit", so sometimes the summer is cooler, which is not conducive to the photosynthesis of crops, and the growth is relatively slow, and even waterlogging occurs.
The day after tomorrow is May 5th, and it's the beginning of summer, is it a good day?
The day of May 5th is the 27th day of the third month of the lunar calendar, according to the auspicious day of the zodiac and the evil day of the underworld divided by the ancients, this day is exactly "Jianri", and the construction is the meaning of unsuccessful, that is, the construction day belongs to the evil day of the underworld, so this year's summer day is a fierce day.
According to the zodiac, this year's summer day belongs to the snake day, rushing the zodiac pig, and the pig is rushed. According to the principle of Chongke, the pig people are rushed. Therefore, people who belong to the pig in the summer zodiac sign of this year need to pay more attention, after all, the birthday is unlucky, and everything is not appropriate.
Since this year's summer is a fierce day, the ancestors still have some traditions to keep in mind: one must move, the second must raise, and the third must eat, and the rainy season will be safe and happy!
One has to move
The 27th day of March in the 2024 lunar calendar is the beginning of summer, not the auspicious day of the zodiac. Because this day is the founding day of the twelve founding stars, it refers to the beginning of things that are not done. But it is suitable to build a foundation and establish a career, break the ground, open the axe, open the light, and install the seat, and everything else is not suitable!
The beginning of summer means that the rain increases, and the yang gradually increases a season has arrived, and the sun is getting closer and closer to the earth, and it is another day, so it is conducive to starting construction, such as factories and mines breaking ground.
Second, we must raise
When the beginning of summer comes, the weather is getting hotter and the plants are flourishing, this season is conducive to the physiological activity of the heart, and people should follow it when they intersect with the solar terms. The ancients had a saying that the sun was nourished in spring and summer, that is, eat less greasy things, eat more high-protein eggs or milk, and some light vegetables.
After the beginning of summer, the weather becomes hotter, and people's minds are easily disturbed and restless. Especially after the warm spring, the temperature suddenly rises rapidly, especially in the south, directly into the hot summer, which will make people's body and mind more impetuous, easy to produce anxiety and anxiety, so this time needs to cultivate self-cultivation!
In this season, people should pay special attention to spiritual recuperation and strengthen the maintenance of the heart. In particular, the elderly should not be excessive, but should maintain a happy mood, be at ease, avoid being overjoyed and sad, and maintain a state of refreshment and happiness.
Three to eat
"Three new" refers to the newly ripened cherries, green plums and wheat, and when it comes to the beginning of summer, these three things are basically ripe, and it is also the earliest fruit ushered in in spring, and the taste is very delicious.
Lixia also has the custom of eating eggs. "Lixia chest hanging eggs, villain summer is difficult", in fact, it is a game for children to play eggs, and the eggs will be eaten if they lose the water play, which can at least treat some diseases of children.
Lixia also has the custom of drinking porridge. Drinking more porridge in summer is good for the body, the excess temperature is very high, and some high-fat things should be eaten as little as possible to prevent the blood from flowing too fast, which will cause unnecessary geriatric diseases.
