First, quench your thirst. Although I don't know why, it is "raw water" that won't hurt my stomach. Many people will have diarrhea when drinking spring water in the wild, but the water in July 7th is so magical that drinking it directly won't cause diarrhea, so sometimes you can drink it directly without tea. People in the mountain village hoard two jars of water directly on the mountain on July 7th, which can be used for working in the mountain all year round.
Second, soak sour bamboo shoots. Because the water stored on the seventh day of July is not easy to deteriorate, in Guangxi, which likes to eat sour bamboo shoots, many people use the water on the seventh day of July to soak sour bamboo shoots. It's just that the variety of bamboo shoots used for sour bamboo shoots-Niujiao bamboo shoots grow at the end of June and the beginning of July. Except for the tip of bamboo shoots, it will be particularly sour and crisp to soak sour bamboo shoots with this one.
Third, make a medical introduction. Some Chinese medicine practitioners and Zhuang doctors in Guangxi will tell them to use Qiqishui as an introduction when prescribing a certain prescription. The specific function is unknown. Some people have the same symptoms and prescriptions. One uses conventional water source and the other uses Qiqi water, but the curative effect is quite different. The specific reasons cannot be explained by science at present.
Fourth, paste for naughty itching. There are many mosquitoes in the mountains, and the habit passed down from the older generation is that if there is itching, it is to make a paste with seven or seven waters and rub it on the skin. After a while, it will get better gradually. I think it should be put on it, so that the itchy place will not come into contact with the air, but there is such a custom.
The specific function of July is also different from many places. My hometown is Wuzhou, Guangxi. It is estimated that Nanning and Hechi have different practices.
