The Millennium, like the solar terms of rain, first frost, light snow and heavy snow, reflects the change of natural climate. The Millennium reflects the increase of cold in nature, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is relatively large. The summer heat is getting over, the weather is getting colder, and the night is condensed. The ancients generally used five elements to match the four seasons. Autumn belongs to gold, and golden white describes autumn dew with white. This is the origin of "White Dew". There is also a saying in The Book of Songs that "Jian Peijun is pale and the white dew is frost", which is also a true portrayal of the "white dew". After the Millennium season, the weather gradually turned cold, and the temperature difference between day and night was great. But it's not very cold at this time. The temperature is still high at noon, but it is cooler in the morning and evening. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to adding clothes in time to prevent catching cold.
The above is the meaning of "Millennium", dear friends, do you understand?
Every solar term will have some specific foods, and Bailu is no exception. Then let's take a look at what is suitable for the Millennium season. What specific foods are there?
Drink Bailu tea
People who like tea know that "spring tea is bitter, summer tea is astringent, so tea is needed, and autumn dew is also needed". After a hot summer, tea trees are basically dormant. In early autumn, tea trees have entered a new growth period. At this time, the tea is rich in fragrance, not bitter or astringent, mellow and lasting, and is deeply loved by people.
Eat sweet potatoes
Sweet potatoes are harvested in autumn and are rich in nutrients such as starch, protein, cellulose and vitamins. Sweet potato is sweet and soft, and many people like it. Compendium of Materia Medica records: "Sweet potato tonifies deficiency, strengthens spleen and appetite, and strengthens kidney yin". Autumn is just the season for people to tonify deficiency and strengthen kidney, and eating some sweet potatoes in moderation is also good for your health.
Drink rice wine
In some places in Hunan, newly received glutinous rice, sorghum and other grains will be used to make wine in the white dew season, which is moderately warm and slightly sweet. This is called "Bailu rice wine".
Besides, according to Chinese medicine, "white deer" should eat some "white" food. For example, lotus root, taro, tremella, longan and so on. Are all foods suitable for the Millennium.
