Four, Grain Rain folk should avoid: avoid setting fire in the wild, hot and rainy weather.

1. It is forbidden to set fire, burn incense and set off firecrackers in the wild in Grain Rain.

In Grain Rain season, when entering the Zhuang area, it is forbidden to set fire in the wild. They think Grain Rain is a good time for rain. If it were in wild fire at this time, it would irritate Lei Gong Dian Mu, and they would naturally retaliate against the world. If it doesn't rain, there will be a continuous drought this year, which will affect the growth of crops and greatly reduce production. Therefore, no one dares to set off firecrackers, burn incense and paper money in the wild, even if this day is to sweep the grave and worship the mountains.

2. High temperature and continuous rain are forbidden in Grain Rain.

In Grain Rain season, the temperature will gradually increase, the humidity in the air will increase, and the precipitation will also increase. As the saying goes, "Rain gives birth to a hundred valleys". Rain can moisten crops and promote their growth and development. However, too high temperature and too much rain will also cause wheat diseases and insect pests, which will seriously affect the normal growth of crops. If the prevention and control work is not done in time, it will lead to a reduction in grain production. Therefore, high temperature and continuous rainfall are forbidden in Grain Rain.

3. Scorpions are generally forbidden in Grain Rain.

The folk custom of banning scorpions in Grain Rain is quite common in China. Scorpion is a poisonous arthropod, which is regarded as one of the "five poisons" by the people and one of the forbidden objects. The most common way to ban scorpions in Grain Rain is to put symbols on the wall. Shaanxi Tongguan and Mizhi posted a scorpion symbol on the wall, thinking that scorpions could be removed. The symbol of banning scorpions in Lingshi and Yicheng in Shanxi reads: "On Grain Rain Day, when I was in Grain Rain, I read the curse of banning scorpions and invited the scorpion god to ban them, and scorpions turned to dust." In Linfen, Shanxi, people sprinkle gray wine on the wall, which is also called "no scorpion".

In ancient times, Zhang Tianshi in Linfen and Grain Rain was painted on the door, which was called "Forbidden Scorpion". Shaanxi Fengxiang Forbidden Scorpion Curse is woodcut printing, which shows that there is a great demand. It was printed with the words: "In Grain Rain, in mid-March, scorpions showed off their bravado. When the God Chicken takes a bite, the poisonous insect turns into water ... "In the picture, a huge rooster is carrying the insect, and a frightened scorpion crawls under its claws.

5. Daily life in Grain Rain: Go to bed early and get up early, and be ventilated frequently.

1. Grain Rain should go to bed early and get up early.

Nowadays, the life state of "work at sunrise and rest at sunset" has long been broken. Nowadays, many young people say: "Modern life and work are fast-paced and stressful, and you can't do it without hard work. You can buy money with your life before you are 30, and you can buy money after you are 30. " More and more people are gradually joining the "night shift team", but health experts remind us that staying up late is equivalent to chronic suicide. Especially in Grain Rain, when the sun grows and the yin disappears, don't work overtime and stay up late to study. Go to bed early and get up early, and make reasonable arrangements for work and rest. Staying up late often will seriously damage people's skin and make people enter aging in advance; At the same time, it will also cause a rapid decline in vision, memory and immunity. In Grain Rain season, staying up late can also make people suffer from yin deficiency and fire. Therefore, after Grain Rain, the yang is vital and the yin is dissipated. We should continue to adhere to the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early, and follow the laws of nature, so that the yin and yang of the human body can always reach a balanced state.

2. Be careful of physical discomfort or poisoning when planting flowers and enjoying them.

Grain Rain is a good time to enjoy flowers, but attention should be paid to prevent flowers and trees and their secretions from causing harm and bad stimulation to the body. Grain Rain is in late spring, which is the best time to enjoy flowers. However, although flowers are good, not everyone can get close to them freely. Some people will get dizzy and have a sore throat if they stay in the flowers for a long time; Some people will lose their hair and numb their limbs when they touch flowers. What is the reason? It turns out that some flowers will release harmful gases and make people allergic; Some flowers contain toxic substances, and long-term contact will cause chronic poisoning. Some people will not be poisoned if they have strong resistance, while others have weak resistance. After a long time, the poison gas can't be carried in the body, and they get sick.

Six, Grain Rain sports health: leisurely walking, indoor and outdoor sports.

1. Take a walk to relax and walk around.

During the solar term in Grain Rain, the rainfall increased obviously, and the humidity in the air increased gradually. At this time, health preservation should conform to the changes of the natural environment, and make the internal environment (the physiological environment inside the human body) adapt to the changes of the external environment (the external natural environment) through the adjustment of the human body itself, so as to maintain the normal functions of various organs of the human body. Chinese medicine pays attention to nourishing yang in spring and summer and nourishing yin in autumn and winter. Especially in spring, it always gives people a picture of everything growing and thriving. In Grain Rain season, the outdoor air is particularly fresh, which is a good opportunity to adopt natural qi to nourish yang, and activities are the most important part of nourishing yang. People should choose suitable sports according to their own physique, which can not only broaden their minds, nourish their emotions, but also expand their metabolism, increase perspiration, make blood flow smooth, dissipate blood stasis, remove dampness and detoxify, and improve their health.

Exercise indoors first in the morning and then go out after sunrise.

In spring, the body's biological clock basically runs around sunrise. However, because the ground temperature at night in Grain Rain is generally lower than the atmospheric temperature near the ground, the so-called "inversion" phenomenon appears in meteorology. In this way, pollutants and toxic gases in the air near the surface layer will not easily spread to the upper air, resulting in serious air pollution near the surface layer. According to the measurement. In general industrial cities, the content of carbon monoxide in the air in the morning is very high, which is 10 times higher than that in clean areas, and the content of dust is also more than 10 times, and the deadly substances contained in it are even more than 30 times higher. In a day, the peak of pollution is around 6 am. At this time, people can't breathe fresh air when they go out for exercise, but they will inhale more harmful substances, especially when their vital capacity increases during exercise. And going out to exercise too early, because the temperature is low in the morning, it is easy to cause colds or other diseases. When the sun comes out, the ground temperature can rise rapidly, breaking the phenomenon of "inversion". The air pollutants near the ground quickly spread to the sky, reducing the concentration of harmful substances in the air, making the air fresh and suitable for people's outdoor activities.

Seven, Grain Rain familiar proverbs.

1. Before and after Grain Rain, Angua ordered beans again; Picking tea before rain, drinking tea to relieve worries.

The solar term in Grain Rain is a good time for spring ploughing and sowing. At this time, with the nourishment of the spring rain, everything is reborn, which is a good time to sow melons and reap beans. So people often say, "Before and after Grain Rain, Angua ordered more beans." . Grain Rain season is also a busy farming season for folk tea picking and making. Small tea leaves grow into fresh leaves, fragrant and delicious, which is the top grade of tea. A sip of new tea just listed can relieve farmers' troubles and worries, which is really a beautiful thing on earth!

If Grain Rain doesn't stop, the crops will be afraid.

The meaning of "Grain Rain wants rain" is somewhat similar to this proverb, which means the importance of seasonal rain in Grain Rain. At this time, it is the heading and flowering period of wintering crops, winter wheat, and also the seedling stage of spring sowing crops, corn and cotton. These crops need enough rain to promote normal development and growth. If there is no rain (or irrigation), winter wheat will suffer from "neck drought" and the ears of wheat will not be pulled out. Can't pollinate and fill normally; Corn and cotton can't germinate normally, which will seriously affect the final harvest. Take Shaanxi, China as an example. There are many spring droughts in this area, and people look forward to the spring rain every year. Spring drought is often delayed until the end of April in the solar calendar. The first soaking rain in spring in Guanzhong, Shaanxi Province is usually at the end of April in the solar calendar. If there is rain and soaking rain in Grain Rain, it is really welcome for farmers.

3. Grain Rain has no flowers and a heart like a crab.

During the climbing season of Grain Rain, due to the obvious weakening and northward movement of westerly jet in East Asia, the warm and humid air mass in South China is also active, the circulation in westerly belt fluctuates frequently from west to east, and the activities of low pressure and Jianghuai cyclone gradually increase. Affected by it, there will be continuous rain or heavy wind and rain in the Jianghuai area. Throughout the ages, cotton farmers have regarded the Grain Rain solar terms as the weather vane of cotton sowing, that is, "Grain Rain does not plant flowers, but its heart is like a crab crawling".
