The custom food of the solar term

The custom food of the solar term is rarely heard by people, and it is one of the 24 solar terms. It is also the third solar term in the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar, which marks the beginning of mid-spring and is a solar term full of vitality. So what are the custom foods that scare the solar terms? The custom food of shocking solar terms 1

1. Pears < P > It is a folk custom in the north to eat pears in shock. Farmers want to eat pears on the day of fright, which means parting from pests. Spring returns to the earth, and the climate is relatively dry, which makes people thirsty easily. Raw pears are cold and sweet, and have the effects of moistening lung, relieving cough, nourishing yin and clearing heat, so pears are especially suitable for eating in this season.

2. Eggs

In addition to eating pears, there is also a folk saying that people eat eggs when they are startled. It is said that this day is a sacrifice to white tigers, and white tigers usually open their mouths with their teeth. Only when they are fed with eggs can they not hurt people after they are full. After evolution, the eggs that were originally fed to the white tiger are now fed to people themselves.

It is not advisable to eat more than three egg yolks per week, except for protein, and you should not consume more than 3 mg of cholesterol per day. It turns out that protein contains neither fat nor cholesterol, and it is a food close to pure protein, so the intake of protein is not restricted like egg yolk.

3. Stir-fried beans

In Shaanxi, some areas want to eat fried beans after being shocked. People soak soybeans in salt water and stir-fry them in the pot, making a crackling sound, symbolizing the jumping sound of insects when they are heated and tortured in the pot.

Soybean is really cheap and good quality. For women, it contains isoflavones which have similar effects to estrogen hormones, lowering blood cholesterol, protecting the heart and preventing breast cancer and osteoporosis.

the custom activities of being startled

1. "Sacrificing the White Tiger"

It is said among the people that the White Tiger is the god of words and right and wrong, and it comes out to feed on this day every year, and if it is committed, it will often be made evil by evil villains, which will hinder the future development and lead to all kinds of misfortunes. In order to protect themselves, everyone sacrificed the white tiger on the day of the fright.

A white tiger painted with paper for worship. Paper tigers are generally yellow and black with a pair of tusks painted at the corners. When offering sacrifices, you need to feed it with the blood of a fat pig, so that it won't hurt people after eating, and then put raw pork on the mouth of a paper tiger to make it full of oil and water, and you can't open your mouth to tell people right and wrong.

2. "Beating villains"

"Villains" are resentful. Shameless people love to make trouble. "Beating villains" is a kind of witchcraft ritual popular in Hong Kong and Guangdong. I hope to use this witchcraft ritual to expel and retaliate against the so-called "little people."

So every year on the day of the fright, there will be an interesting scene in Guangdong and Hong Kong: a woman slaps a paper doll with wooden slippers, and at the same time, she mumbles, "Hit your little head, until you are so angry that you will feel sick."

3. Drive away bad luck

Stinking symbolizes the beginning of February. It will wake up all the hibernating snakes, insects, rats and ants with a flat thunder, and the reptiles and ants at home will rise up again and look around for food.

Therefore, in ancient times, people would hold fragrance and wormwood and smoke all over the four corners of their homes to drive away snakes, insects, mosquitoes, rats and musty smells with fragrance. Over time, it gradually evolved into the habit of the unhappy people to drive away bad luck, which is similar to the witchcraft instrument of "beating villains".

So pears are especially suitable for eating in this solar term.

taro

Hakka people in southern Jiangxi and western Fujian have to cook hairy taro in hot water on this day of fright (representing the elimination of various pests).

People in the north usually drink a bowl of mash wine for one person. After boiling a pot of clear water, add mash wine, and then mix the beaten eggs into mash wine. If it tastes bad, you can add a little sugar to taste.
