Eat more light and less greasy food. What is "1 red, 2 yellow and 4 white" in the diet?

The diet should be adjusted to smooth the liver, benefit the spleen, and calm the five internal organs. Eat more fruits, vegetables, and fresh fruits rich in vitamins. Eat more foods rich in soy protein. According to solar terms, the food should be light and less greasy. Don’t forget to give your loved ones “4 whites, 2 yellows and 1 red”: 4 whites are fermented rice, asparagus noodles, eggs, and donkey rolls; 2 yellows are pears and soybeans; 1 red feces is pig’s blood or goose’s blood. Solar terms are not like the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, and Dragon Boat Festival, which have traditional delicacies. In a strict sense, eating pears during solar terms can be regarded as a more powerful food. Many areas across the country have the tradition of eating pears during solar terms. The main reason for eating pears during solar terms is also due to the need for health preservation. The temperature during the Spring Equinox is generally similar to that in winter, but only during the solar terms, the temperature rises and the weather becomes warmer. At this time, health and wellness should be in line with nature, soothing the liver, spleen, and calming the five internal organs. During this season, the weather is hot and cold and unpredictable, and everyone is bound to experience dryness in the tongue and exogenous coughs. Pears are a good food for nourishing yin, clearing away heat, relieving lungs and relieving coughs; therefore, there is a reasonable basis for eating pears during solar terms. The most scientific and reasonable way to eat pears is to take them immediately after cleaning to preserve the nutrients of pears to the greatest extent. Secondly, the more classic ways of eating pears include Old Beijing Xiaodiao Pear Soup, Red Wine Drunken Pear, Snow Pear and Tremella Soup, etc.

I remember when I was a child, children who grew up in the countryside had seen the thin donkeys rolling around at home. When you are happy, it will be comfortable to make more than ten round trips in a row. The well-made "Donkey Rolling" consists of white glutinous rice noodles with fried soybean noodles, which is very similar to a rolling donkey. The name "Donkey Rolling" is also fitting. In places such as Tianjin and Hebei, there is a tradition of eating donkeys and rolling on this solar term. The soft and fragrant glutinous rice noodles are rolled with circles of sweet red bean filling. The core highlight is the fragrant aroma of fried soybean noodles at the end. With the upgrading of modern household kitchen supplies, more and more households are using stainless steel products and non-stick pots, and woks are becoming increasingly distant from people's lives.

One inevitable adverse effect of this rapid development is that more and more people are anemic. Not only women, but more and more teenagers and the elderly are also joining the ranks of people with iron deficiency anemia. The statistics are shocking. Pig blood and other animal blood products are rich in protein, ferrous ions and other nutrients, which are beneficial to people with iron deficiency anemia. In addition to the classic cooking methods such as stir-fried pork blood with chili pepper, stir-fried pork blood with leeks, broccoli and duck blood soup, you can also wrap it with Chinese cabbage, water tofu, sweet potato vermicelli, etc. to make farmhouse meat buns, which are delicious just thinking about it.

In some areas of southern my country and places such as Chengdu and Chongqing, there is a tradition of eating fermented rice during solar terms. Jiongniang, also known as rice wine, sweet rice wine, glutinous rice wine, etc., is one of the three classic condiments of Sichuan cuisine. In some areas in the south, before Jingzhe, every household needed to make wine. The glutinous rice is washed and soaked fully, steamed in a pot and then sweetened with koji for fermentation, which is the fermented glutinous rice. In addition to being eaten directly, fermented glutinous rice can also be made into various snacks. The most traditional is fermented fermented glutinous rice dumplings, which are very simple to make.

In traditional myths and legends, the Dragon King of the East China Sea is the god who controls rain. Therefore, there is a tradition in the community of "celebrating the solar terms, touching the dragon's beard, eating dragon's beard noodles, and praying for success". Dragon whisker noodles are very thin fresh noodles. Generally, there are many dry noodles, but there are also fresh dragon whiskers noodles. In addition to the most traditional soy pot noodles with scallions, add 2 poached eggs, which is a rare delicacy in the eyes of children in the past. If you add stockings, high heels, lobster, and various kinds of noodles to make shredded chicken noodles, shrimp noodles, and soy pot noodles, it will be a new realm of life.

In North China, there is also a custom of eating boiled eggs during solar terms. Boiling many eggs for children early in the morning can satisfy their cravings and hunger. The most primitive way of eating raw eggs is very worthy of favor. There is no need to add any condiments, and the nutrients of the food are preserved to the greatest extent, and the original flavor and aroma are preserved. I also strongly favor the "salt-free diet" for breakfast, and have been adhering to this approach for many years. This may be of great benefit to improving many problems caused by the "heavy salt diet".
