The origin and custom of millennium solar terms. There are twenty-four solar terms in China, and the Millennium solar term is one of the twenty-four solar terms. There are many customs and habits in the Millennium solar term. Next, I will take you to know more about the origin and customs of the Millennium solar terms.

The origin and custom of the Millennium solar terms 1

The origin of Millennium solar terms

Millennium is the first solar term in September. Dew is water droplets formed by condensation of water vapor on the ground or near-earth objects due to temperature drop. So the Millennium actually indicates that the weather is getting cold. At this time, people will obviously feel that the hot summer has passed and the cool autumn has arrived. Because the temperature is still more than 30 degrees during the day, but it drops to more than 20 degrees at night, and the temperature difference between them is 10 degrees.

Yang Qi reached its peak in the summer solstice, and these two extremes must be reversed, and Yin Qi also rose at this time. When it comes to the White Dew, the yin gradually increases, and the morning dew gradually thickens and condenses into a layer of white water drops, so it is called the White Dew.

As the saying goes, "eighteen pots of summer heat, not exposed to the Millennium." These two sentences mean that it is still hot in summer, so you must take a bath with a basin of water every day. After eighteen days, in the new millennium, don't be shirtless and naked, lest you catch cold. There is also a saying: "White dew and white fans, the autumn equinox is beautiful." This means that if there is dew before and after the white dew, the late rice will have a good harvest.

The custom of solar terms in the Millennium

There is a tradition in Fuzhou called "Longan must be eaten for thousands of years". Eating longan on the day of the Millennium has a miraculous effect of nourishing the body. Eating an longan on this day is equivalent to eating a chicken.

Wenzhou, Zhejiang and other places have had the custom of Millennium Festival. In Cangnan, Pingyang and other places, people collect "ten kinds of whites" (also known as "three kinds of whites") on this day to stew black-bone white-haired chickens (or ducks). It is said that eating it can nourish the body and dispel the atmosphere (arthritis). People believe that eating sweet potatoes in Bailuyuan can prevent stomach acid after eating sweet potatoes and shredded sweet potatoes all the year round, so farmers used to eat sweet potatoes in Bailuyuan in the past.

Old Nanjing people like "Egret Tea" very much. At this time, the tea tree is in an excellent growth period after the heat and the Millennium.

Old Nanjing also has the custom of brewing Bailu rice wine, which originated from the south and Zhejiang. Bailu rice wine is made of glutinous rice, sorghum and other grains, which is slightly sweet, so it is called "Bailu rice wine". The Millennium is also the day when people in Taihu Lake offer sacrifices to Yu Wang.

The time of the Millennium

Millennium is one of the twenty-four solar terms of traditional festivals in China, which falls on September 7th or 8th of the Gregorian calendar every year. At this time, the sun is located at 165 degrees.

The meaning of the Millennium

Twenty-four solar terms: in August, autumn belongs to gold, gold and white, and the yin is getting heavier and heavier, but it is also white. The white dew means that the temperature begins to drop, the weather turns cold, and the condensation of water vapor on the ground begins to increase.

In ancient China, the Millennium was divided into three stages: first, when Hongyan came; Second, wait for the mysterious bird to return; A flock of birds breeds shame. It is said that this solar term is the time when migratory birds such as geese and swallows fly south to avoid the cold, and hundreds of birds begin to store dried fruits for the winter. This means that the Millennium is a symbol of cold weather.

Bailu solar terms farming

In the climate of 24 solar terms, the White Dew has the obvious characteristics of rapid temperature drop, the beginning of rain in Mao Mao and the sudden decrease of sunshine, which profoundly reflects the seasonal changes from summer to autumn.

The average temperature in South China during the perennial white dew period is about 3℃ lower than that in summer, and the average temperature in most areas (5 days) has dropped below 22℃. According to the standard of dividing four seasons by climatology, the time series begins to enter autumn. Autumn rain in South China mostly occurs from the white dew to the first frost, with the most in the middle and lower reaches of Minjiang River and Qingyi River, and relatively less in the middle of South China. Agricultural proverb, indulging in the Millennium, walking around every day, can not predict the weather by whether it rains on the day of the Millennium, but there will often be a period of continuous rainy weather before and after the Millennium Festival. Moreover, since then, rainfall in South China has been characterized by low intensity, frequent rainy days and continuous rainfall. Accordingly, the sunshine in the white dew period in South China is reduced by about half compared with that in summer, and this decreasing trend continues until winter.

The above climatic characteristics of the Millennium season are not conducive to heading and flowering of late rice, but also affect the harvest and sunning of middle rice, so there is a saying in agricultural proverbs that "the Millennium is sunny and the rice is as white as silver". Only by fully understanding the Millennium climate characteristics and taking corresponding agricultural technical measures can the harm of autumn rain be alleviated or avoided. On the other hand, we should also seize the rainwater to store water, especially the Bailu in eastern South China is another solar term with more rainfall after Xiaoman and summer solstice. Don't miss the good opportunity.

Bailu solar terms health

Nasal diseases, asthma and bronchial diseases should be avoided in the Millennium solar terms. Especially those diseases caused by physical allergies, we should be more cautious in diet adjustment. All patients with bronchial asthma caused by allergies should eat less or no fish and shrimp, raw and cold braised pickles, spicy and hot and sour food, and the most common ones are hairtail, crab, shrimp, leek flower, yellow flower and pepper. And light, digestible, vitamin-rich food is appropriate. Modern medical research shows that high sodium diet can increase bronchial reactivity; In many areas, the incidence of asthma is directly proportional to the sales of salt, which shows that asthma patients should not eat too much salt. Among the properties of food, different diets have different properties, tastes, meridian tropism, ups and downs, and reinforcing and reducing effects. Different attributes have different functions and adapt to different people. Therefore, it is necessary for everyone to adjust the diet structure at any time with the change of solar terms.

The origin and custom of the Millennium solar terms. How should the Millennium solar terms be preserved?

1, MM Don't wear suspenders on the street.

The Millennium actually indicates that the weather is getting cold. At this time, people will obviously feel that the hot summer has passed and the cool autumn has arrived. The Millennium is divided into autumn nights, and one night is cold. Although sometimes the weather is still hot during the day, many citizens will turn on the air conditioner or take a cold bath at night, but in the new millennium, don't go shirtless or take a cold bath to avoid catching a cold.

Experts remind: There is a saying in Chinese medicine that "white dew is not exposed, cold dew is not exposed." In other words, once the Millennium solar term is over, you can't go shirtless when you wear clothes. Nowadays, young people, especially middle-aged people, pursue fashion and like to wear suspenders and clothes with bare umbilicus to show their youth and beauty. In addition, the weather is changeable after the Millennium, especially the large temperature difference between morning and evening, which is easy to induce colds or lead to the recurrence of old diseases. Most importantly. There is an important principle in the Millennium season, that is, don't wear revealing clothes to keep your abdomen warm, and backless clothes and navel-revealing clothes are out of date. Especially for the elderly, clothes should increase or decrease in time with the change of external temperature, and clothes should be made of soft, soft and warm materials. Pay attention to keep warm at night. If you don't cover the quilt or make it too thin, you will have diarrhea.

2. Freeze moderately in spring and autumn.

As the weather gets colder and colder, some people will have symptoms such as cold hands and feet and fatigue. From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, this is a manifestation of deficiency of kidney qi. At this time, many citizens who are weak should add clothes in time to avoid getting sick.

Experts remind: However, health care should also pay attention to the spring and autumn freezing, which is also the classic key to health care. Because the weather is getting colder and colder, people's pores should be closed to prevent colds. If you put on thick clothes too early, the pores will open because of the heat, and the cold caused by sudden cooling can easily hurt people through the pores.

3. Rub your ears, soak your feet and nourish your kidneys.

Experts remind: Since the Millennium, the weather has been getting colder and colder, and some people have symptoms such as cold hands and feet, cold limbs, frequent urination and fatigue. Chinese medicine says that this is a sign of deficiency of kidney-qi. Therefore, the Millennium should always "pump up" the kidney, that is, nourish the kidney.

Insist on soaking feet with warm water at night. Do not let the water pass through the ankle 15 to 30 minutes, and gradually add warm water in the middle. It is best to soak your feet until your body is slightly hot. Rub your ears and waist at the same time, and your kidneys will begin to understand your ears. Moreover, your ears have dense reflex zones, which are related to every organ of your body. Therefore, rubbing your ears often is a good way to keep in good health.

Do the homework of rubbing the kidney meridian after soaking your feet. The waist is the house of the kidney, but the waist is the home of the kidney, and the kidney is warmed up, so it is necessary to rub the waist eye frequently to prevent freezing. Sitting on the bed, feet facing each other, Yongquan point in the center of the foot is the starting point of the kidney meridian, so that the kidney meridian can be connected. Then, hold the calf muscles with both hands, and turn them outwards with a little force, so that both hands can hold the calf muscles as big as possible, turn the upper edge outwards and massage, and repeat the operation from top to bottom and turn the whole calf muscles from bottom to top until the calf is hot.

After the Millennium, the amount and intensity of exercise can be appropriately increased compared with that in summer. You can choose jogging, playing Tai Ji Chuan, gymnastics, playing basketball, badminton and guiding. Sweating but not fatigue is helpful to smooth qi and blood in the body.

4, the Millennium temperature difference is large, pay attention to cold-resistant exercise.

In the "Millennium" season, the atmospheric circulation began to adjust, from the summer monsoon in summer to the winter monsoon in winter, and the cold air invasion in the northern region became more and more frequent. In addition, the position of the direct sunlight on the ground moves south, the sunshine time in the northern hemisphere is getting shorter and shorter, the sunshine intensity is weakened during the day, and the radiation heat dissipation on the ground is accelerated at night, which leads to the gradual acceleration of the temperature drop. According to experts, "White Dew" is the solar term with the largest temperature difference between day and night throughout the year, and the temperature difference between day and night is generally around 10 degrees Celsius.

Millennium solar terms need to be done

2, to prevent colds, we should pay attention to the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases.

3. In order to prevent gastrointestinal diseases, after arriving in beginning of autumn, we should pay attention to eating some melons and fruits.
