First, the origin of eating mutton in the crouch, like some customs handed down today, have been handed down from ancient times after hundreds of thousands of years of inheritance, all of which are the culture of our ancestors. For example, the dog days are the hottest time that people have studied all year round. Eating mutton at that time was very useful for sweating and detoxification. It was because Zhu Rong, the Vulcan God at that time, and Emperor Yan were the gods worshipped in people's hearts. Coupled with the later cooking of mutton, the custom of fighting wine was handed down. Especially after the dog days, the wheat in the field is ripe and becomes fresh wine. At that time, the sheep have grown up and are very fat, and the mutton restaurant will launch a very special all-sheep banquet.
Second, the benefits of eating mutton in the first place, in terms of Chinese medicine, this also has a certain health care effect. In particular, the ancients thought that eating mutton can be heated by heat, which can discharge the accumulated heat in the body and is absolutely beneficial to the body. It is a saying that people say that winter diseases are cured in summer. After all, sheep have become tender and plump after two seasons of nourishment, so the nutritional value of mutton in June is particularly high. Moreover, eating mutton in dog days can also relieve summer heat and dampness, and it also has the main function of protecting the stomach for people to keep eating cold drinks in June and make their stomachs cold.
Third, it is good for your health to eat mutton in the crouch. However, eating mutton in the crouch is not good for everyone. For example, some people are hot and particularly prone to get angry, and people with long sores and swelling are not suitable for this treatment. And when eating, we must control the quantity, and pay attention to the diet, but also pay attention to the use of methods, otherwise it will not be worth the candle.
