Introduction: This year's summer solstice is not ordinary, keep in mind: 1 to eat, 2 not to wash, 3 not to go, 4 not to sit!
"The rain is just fine when the seedlings are planted, and the shepherd's heel is leveling." Tomorrow is June 21, the sixteenth day of May in the lunar calendar, this day is the summer solstice, the summer solstice is one of the twenty-four solar terms, and it is also the fourth solar term into the summer.
As soon as the summer solstice arrives, the temperature rises, the air humidity becomes larger, and there are often thundershowers.
This year, I often hear people say: "This year's summer solstice is not ordinary", why do you say that?
Because this year is the "early summer solstice". The summer solstice generally occurs between June 20 and 22 of the Gregorian calendar. If the date of the summer solstice falls in the first half of this range (such as June 20 or a date close to it), it can be considered an "early summer solstice".
If the date of the summer solstice falls in the second half of this range (as near June 22), it can be considered a "late summer solstice".
This year's summer solstice arrives on June 21, earlier than the 22nd, so it is called the "early summer solstice".
What is the meaning of "early summer solstice"?
The early summer solstice often signifies a phase when yang energy rises and yin energy is weaker. The ancients thought that there would be fewer cloudy days and relatively little rainfall, which means that there will be more sunny days on the "early summer solstice".
This year's summer solstice is not ordinary, keep in mind: 1 to eat, 2 not to wash, 3 not to go, 4 not to sit! Let's see what the summer solstice says!
1. To eat: Eat summer solstice noodles
On the day of the summer solstice, don't forget to eat summer solstice noodles. It is recorded in "Ji Sheng in the Year of Dijing": "On this day, the furniture is cold and noodles, that is, it is commonly said that the water surface is also." "On the day of the summer solstice, eating a bowl of noodles made of new wheat also hopes that my life can go smoothly. And during the summer solstice, when the temperature rises, people may have a loss of appetite, at this time, eating a bowl of summer solstice noodles can increase appetite, appetite, and also eliminate moisture in the body, which is very good.
On the scorching summer solstice, eating a bowl of summer solstice noodles can not only satisfy the appetite, but also conform to the season, reflecting the ancient people's dietary concept of "not eating from time to time".
2. Don't wash: Don't take a cold shower
Don't take a cold shower on the day of the summer solstice. Because the weather is very hot during the summer solstice, many people will cool down by taking cold showers, but taking cold showers on this day will cause pores to shrink, hinder the discharge of sweat, and is not conducive to heat dissipation. As the old saying goes, "After a warm bath, you're refreshed." "On the day of the summer solstice, even if the body is hot, we must insist on bathing with warm water and put health first!
3. Don't walk: Don't walk alone
On the day of the summer solstice, it is not recommended to walk too far alone. This is because the temperature is high, all kinds of mosquitoes, snakes and ants are infested more frequently, naturally it will be more dangerous to walk alone, especially to more remote places, if you are bitten, there is no one around to take care of it, it will be more dangerous, so it is not recommended to go out and walk too far on this day.
4. Do not sit: Do not sit on wood
On the day of the summer solstice, I don't sit on wood. During the summer solstice, the moisture will be heavier, and the wood is easy to absorb moisture, so the wood will be more humid in summer, if you sit on the wood, not only the clothes will be easy to get damp, but also easy to let the moisture enter the body through the wood, just like the old saying: "The summer solstice does not sit on the wood." This is also a kind of life wisdom!
Today's summer solstice, you can try to do it, and I hope you can spend the summer solstice smoothly!
