During the Miscanthus solar term, people pay attention to "eat less meat and eat more", so during the Miscanthus solar term During the mango season, you can eat more rice cooked with japonica rice or rice cooked with miscellaneous grains, such as black rice, black rice, red rice, etc. These rice are very rich in nutrients and have a satiety effect, so You won't feel hungry after eating.

2. Barley porridge

Methods of keeping in good health with Miscanthus

1. Eat a light diet

In terms of diet, Sun Simiao of the Tang Dynasty advocated that people "always eat light, sweet and light foods. Wheat koji and japonica rice are better." He also said: "Those who are good at maintaining health should always eat less meat and more rice." While emphasizing a clean and tonic diet, he also warned people not to eat too salty or sweet foods. In summer, when human body metabolism is strong and sweat is easily released, qi is wasted and body fluids are damaged, it is advisable to eat more foods that can dispel heat, replenish qi, produce body fluids and quench thirst. Due to the decline of body functions in the elderly, the secretion of digestive juices decreases in hot weather, and the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular sclerosis occurs to varying degrees. The diet should be mainly clear and tonic, supplemented by foods that clear away heat, relieve heat, protect the stomach and spleen, and have the functions of lowering blood pressure and lowering lipids.

2. Medicinal bath

After the Ear Grain, it is hot at noon and people tend to sweat, so clothes should be washed and changed frequently. In order to avoid heat stroke, you should take a bath frequently after planting, as the "yang heat" is easy to vent. But one thing to note is that you should not take a shower immediately when you sweat. There is an old saying in China that "dryness cannot be seen when sweating". If "dampness is seen when sweating", acne will occur. Medicinal baths can best achieve the purpose of fitness and disease prevention. There are many methods of medicated bathing. As a health and wellness regimen, medicated bathing is the main method. It is best to take a bath with Wuzhi Decoction (cinnamon twig, locust twig, peach twig, willow twig, and hemp twig) during the mist season. That is, first wrap the same amount of medicine in gauze, add ten times as much water as the medicine, soak for 20 minutes, and then decoct. After 30 minutes, pour the medicinal solution into the bath water and you can take a bath.

3. Drink more water and take a lunch break

There is a proverb in some places in our country: "Eawns grow on the summer solstice, and they need to be led when walking; those who are led need to be pulled, and those who pull need to be pushed." This vividly reflects the laziness of people during this season. Doctors remind you that you must first keep your spirit in a relaxed and happy state. In summer, when the days are long and the nights are short, taking a lunch break can help you recover from fatigue and is good for your health. During the season of Ear Grain, the weather starts to get hot, which is a season that consumes more physical energy. Pay attention to replenishing water and drink more water.

Characteristics of the Ear Grain solar term

1. The wheat grains are nearly full

"Ear Grains" means that the sharp awn thorns grow on the wheat grains, which means The grains of wheat are nearly full and waiting to mature, indicating a good harvest. Agricultural experts reminded that the season of awning is the busiest season for agricultural production. People in various places should seize the time to rush to harvest, sow and manage fields, and fertilize frequently to ensure a good harvest of grain production.

2. A busy solar term for farming

The Mangzhong solar term is a very busy solar term. In Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ningxia, "the awns are busy planting, and the summer solstice valley is pregnant." In Guangdong, it is said that "plants are planted under the awns and planted in the Great Heat" (Shi refers to transplanted plants). In Jiangxi, it is said that "no seedlings will come out three days before the awns are planted, and no seedlings will come out three days after the awns are planted." In Guizhou, "If you don't plant the awns, it will be useless to plant them again." In Fujian, "if you plant awns on the edge, it's better to grow indica; if you plant awns over, it's better to grow glutinous rice." Jiangsu's saying goes, "Eargrass planted in it is a treasure, and summer solstice planted in grass is a root." Shanxi is a country where "everything is grown as soon as possible." "Earns are planted with millet and grains are planted in a hurry." In Sichuan and Shaanxi, "before the awns are planted, they are busy planting fields; after the awns are planted, they are busy planting beans."

3. The temperature rises and enters the plum rain period

"On May Day, it is said that there are grains of awns that can be grown." That's how the name of awns came from.

It has a very down-to-earth meaning, but this solar term is too restless from a meteorological point of view: rainfall is abundant, temperatures rise significantly, and common weather disasters include tornadoes, hail, strong winds, heavy rains, droughts, etc. What about our middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River? We are about to enter the troublesome plum rain season. There are many rainy days, heavy rainfall, little sunshine, and sometimes low temperatures. It is really a difficult time.
