Playing spring is a traditional custom in our country, and it is also a common name for beginning of spring. When playing spring, you have the habit of eating spring cakes, besides, you can eat spring rolls, spring plates, radishes and other foods, but there are also many taboos in this traditional solar term.
what to eat in spring
1. Spring cakes
The Four Seasons Treasure Mirror of Tang Dynasty records: "In spring, we eat reed, spring cakes and lettuce, and the number is' dish'." It can be seen that people in the Tang Dynasty have begun to try spring dishes and eat spring cakes. The so-called spring cake, also known as lotus leaf cake, is actually a kind of pancake with hot noodles-two small pieces of water, greased in the middle, rolled into pancakes, and peeled into two pieces after being cooked. Spring cakes are used to roll vegetables, including cooked vegetables and stir-fried dishes.
2. Spring plate
Spring plate, also known as "five-spice plate", is made by finely cutting five kinds of spicy lettuce. "Compendium of Materia Medica" says: "Five spicy dishes are a mixture of onions, garlic, leeks, Artemisia scoparia and mustard in New Year's Day and spring to welcome the new year." This custom spread to the Tang, Song, Jin and Yuan Dynasties. For example, in Yuan Dynasty, Yelu Chucai wrote a poem "Making a Poor Spring Banquet in a Spring Day Inn", in which he said that lotus root, peas, onions, Artemisia selengensis, chives and vermicelli were used to make a spring banquet.
3. Spring rolls
Apart from spring cakes, spring rolls are also a kind of festival food that people often eat on spring day. Spring rolls evolved from the ancient custom of eating spring plates on the day of spring. In the Song Dynasty, there was a kind of "rolled pancake", which was a transitional type between spring cakes and spring rolls. In the Complete Works of Household Necessities in Yuan Dynasty, it has been recorded that spring cakes are wrapped in rolls and eaten after being fried. By the Qing dynasty, the name of spring rolls had appeared.
4. Radish
After the spring, the temperature rises gradually, and people's yang rises step by step. People in China who pay attention to food supplements choose foods with the characteristics of pungent and sweet divergence to make their bodies adapt to the weather. Su Dongpo has a poem saying: "The roots of reed are still full of dew, and Qiu Lai is full of frost and snow, and reed has children and grandchildren." Li Shizhen praised radish even more, thinking that it "can be raw, cooked, sauced, fermented, vinegar, sugar, wax and rice, which is the most beneficial among vegetables." Radish also has medicinal values such as expectorant, ventilation and cough relieving. This may be the original intention of the ancients to advocate eating radishes in spring.
5, bamboo shoots
When it comes to eating spring, bamboo shoots have to be mentioned. Spring bamboo shoots are crisp, tender and delicious, and can chew out fragrance and sweetness, which is known as "the first vegetarian food". Eating bamboo shoots has the effects of nourishing yin, benefiting blood, resolving phlegm, promoting digestion, facilitating defecation and improving eyesight, and has a good auxiliary effect on preventing and treating hyperlipidemia, hypertension, coronary heart disease, obesity, diabetes, intestinal cancer and hemorrhoids.
6. Honey
Honey water with sweet taste is called "the first water in spring". Chinese medicine believes that honey is sweet and enters the spleen and stomach, which can tonify the middle energizer, invigorate qi and moisten the intestines to relieve constipation. Because honey contains a variety of minerals, vitamins, and has the function of moistening lung and detoxifying, it can enhance human immunity and is the most ideal tonic in spring. Therefore, in spring, if you can drink 1~2 spoonfuls of honey every day, take it with a cup of warm water or add milk, which will have a nourishing effect on your body.
taboo to fight in spring
1. You can't go back to your parents' house
Spring is the beginning of a year. In ancient times, a woman was a husband's family when she got married, so she couldn't bring her husband's family's luck back to her parents' house. In other words, she went back to her parents' house and married again in the next spring. All these are unreasonable statements. Today, men and women have independent personalities, so there is no need to stick to these nonsense. Go back to your mother's house in spring, and your mother's family is as close as your husband's.
2. Don't see a doctor
If you don't see a doctor on the day of spring, it means that you have no good luck for a year. This statement is just to win a good title, just like not seeing a doctor on the first day of New Year's Day. There is nothing wrong with delaying a minor illness. Don't you want to see a serious illness? It's normal for people to get sick because of the five elements. Don't stick to this statement. It's the last word to be optimistic about the health of the sick.
3. Don't get a haircut
It's unlucky not to get a haircut on the day of spring. For this taboo, it is worth considering. Hair is the vegetation of the human body. It warms up in the spring, and the vegetation is born, and the newly born vegetation is damaged. This is against the principle of running vegetation growth in heaven and earth. Besides, there are 365 days in a year. Why do you have to choose this day to get a haircut? This habit should be adhered to, which is to remind the world to follow the natural five elements in doing things!
4. Don't lie down
Because the sun's spirit begins to rise at this time, you should stand or sit solemnly to welcome the beautiful moment; Because the sun's spirit begins to rise at this time, you should stand or sit solemnly to welcome the arrival of a beautiful moment and make a good fortune for yourself in the new year.
5. Don't quarrel
Don't quarrel, don't use foul words, don't argue with each other, be kind, and be happy to welcome the Spring Festival. This is a good tradition and a virtue. Playing spring is the beginning of a year. On this first day, people are prone to emotional instability. If you forget your virtues on this day, I don't know how many days you can remember that year. This is to remind everyone that remembering the good traditions of our nation, playing spring is unlucky all year round, which is troublesome and unfavorable. Therefore, I advise my friends to adjust themselves and be happy to welcome new ones.
6. Don't move
Don't move in the spring. My understanding of this habit should be observed, and friends who are easy to learn should also pay attention to it. Don't choose the four-day festival. This is the handover time, and the atmosphere is complicated. It is naturally inappropriate to move. At the beginning of the year, it will be turbulent to move. How can there be a stable day in the new year? We must believe in the movement of the sun and the moon, the circulation of the five elements, and the mysterious connotation of the number "one". Those who conform to heaven and earth, harmony between heaven and man, will certainly be blessed by God.
