The live broadcast life of Lao Linzi in Northeast China

Chapter 198 Rootless Water (for Subscription)
"We didn't have this custom more than [-] years ago."

"In fact, this is just a kind of sustenance and expectation. In order to let the children of the family grow up healthily, because the conditions were not good at that time, so through this custom, it is just to borrow the blessing of the godfather."

"Look at the expression of the eldest son of the Li family, don't you know?"

"Haha, the host has a ignorant expression, it's really cool to watch!"

Indeed, Li Yuan has basically never heard of the customs mentioned in the live broadcast room, so he was a little curious for a while.

but……

There was a smile on the corner of Li Yuan's mouth, but he changed the topic, and then said: "Although I don't know much about the Rain Festival, but when it comes to rain, how much do you know?"

Studio.

"What rain?"

"Is it raining?"

"Rain? What's so special about it?"

"Anchor, don't be tricky..."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Everyone knows that rainwater is also divided into periods, and it is divided into three periods."

Studio.

"When?"

"Monkey? What does this have to do with monkeys?"

"Three monkeys?"

"What are the three times? Why can't I understand..."

Li Yuan smiled lightly.

"I'm talking about the climate."

"There are 72 seasons in a year, and every three seasons is a solar term. There are only 24 solar terms in a year. The three seasons of rain refer to the first time when otters sacrifice fish, the second time when swan geese come, and the third time when vegetation sprouts. .”

"One day the cauliflower blooms, and the otters start fishing. Five days later, the second day is when the tangdi blooms. The weather in the south is warm, and it is also the day when the wild geese fly back to the north."

"Three seasons, when the plum blossoms bloom, the yin and yang in the world are in harmony, vitality appears, the vegetation sprouts, begins to grow, and gradually sprouts tender buds in the moistening and silent spring rain."

"This time is also the time when everything is full of vitality."

Studio.

"I've never heard of this."

"72 hours? Why haven't I heard the old man mention it?"

"I only know the 24 solar terms, but I really don't know the 72 solar terms..."

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Actually, the origin of the 72 pentads is very early, but because of the large climate difference between the north and the south, and the 72 pentads are very clear, and with the passage of time, the current climate is also different from the early years, so Many of these phenomena are not accurate."

"Maybe it's because of this. You probably haven't heard of the 72nd pentad, but it's quite accurate for the climate in North China."

"For example, the last festival, Lichun, is divided into one waiting for the east wind to thaw, the second waiting for the stinging insects to vibrate, and the third waiting for the fish to bear the ice."

"Awakening of Insects means the first waiting for peach blossoms, the second waiting for Cang Gengming, and the third waiting for eagles to turn into doves. For example, this is the case for every solar term, and the second waiting and three waiting times respectively refer to the delay of the beginning of the solar terms. five days later."

Studio.

"So that's how it is, I've learned a lot..."

"No wonder, I said how these three seasons don't match up with us in the south."

"As a northerner, why don't I know what 72 hours are?"

"Of course it's because the anchor is knowledgeable."

"Don't ask, it's common sense to ask..."

Li Yuan smiled and nodded.

"Yes, common sense."

After speaking, I couldn't help but elicited a burst of laughter in the live broadcast room again.

Li Yuan: "However, speaking of the Rain Festival, it reminds me of some rumors about the healing of rain. Moreover, the rain is divided into three types, namely Lichun water, plum rain water, and liquid rain water."

Studio.

"Can rain cure diseases?"

"If I remember correctly, rainwater...should also be called rootless water, right?"

"Isn't rootless water just a superstition? Besides, the rainwater is so dirty, how can it cure diseases?"

"Yes, isn't there a lot of bacteria and floating objects in the air in the rainwater? Using it to cure diseases doesn't mean that the more you cure, the more sick you become?"

"Sanshui? It sounds interesting."

"Yeah, it doesn't matter whether he can cure the disease or not, just listen to the anchor talk about the quilt. It's all about listening to the story."

"That's right, the anchor, you continue."

Li Yuan nodded and continued with a smile: "The first one is the beginning of spring, also known as the qi of spring. After steaming, it can cure the lack of qi and the inability to raise the qi."

"And it is rumored that if a couple has never had children, as long as they drink the first rainwater after the beginning of spring, they will be able to nourish the vital energy, conceive and have children."

"The second type of plum rain refers to the rain in the season when plums are yellow and ripe, that is, the rain in the season when the rain is frequent and it is easy to cause black mold on the clothes. This rain is hot and humid, and March It is called welcoming the plum rain, and May is called sending the plum rain.”

"It is said that plum rain water can wash away scabies and eliminate scars."

"As for the third liquid rainwater, it refers to the rainwater ten days after the beginning of winter, but at that time the weather is uncertain, whether it is rain or snow, if it is snow, it is liquid, if it is rain, it is called liquid rain, and it is also called Become medicine rain."

"Rainwater like complaints can kill hundreds of insects, and if you drink it after boiling, it can eliminate accumulated food."

Studio.

"Sounds so fantastic..."

"No, it feels like the rain is amazing."

"Pull it down, the rainwater is so dirty, if you really use it as medicine, I'm afraid the disease will get worse if it is not cured!"

"Don't old Chinese doctors often use rootless water as medicine? Maybe it really works."

"Not necessarily, you have already said that you are an old Chinese doctor, but what you are paying attention to now is science!"

"Anchor, tell me, can this rain be used as medicine?"

Li Yuan watched everyone arguing, and said with a smile: "Everything has its own effect of mutual generation and mutual restraint, and there is a reason for whether to use medicine or not."

"Although I don't know if rain can be used as medicine, I know that the weather in the Northeast will really be warmer when the Rain Festival comes."

At this time in the Northeast, although the average temperature is still below 0°C, the snow that has accumulated on the road all winter has already begun to melt under the spring breeze.

Although there is still a long time before the land turns green, the mild sunshine, humid air, and the quietly melting ice and snow only make people feel better.

"After the Rain Festival, the rainfall will gradually increase, and the cold and damp symptoms will also increase. It is easy to trap the spleen, and at the same time, it is difficult to get rid of damp evil, so we should pay special attention to our daily diet before and after this solar term. .”

"The key to nourishing the spleen is to regulate the liver and keep the liver qi smooth and smooth. Therefore, in terms of diet, everyone must focus on a balanced diet, try to eat less spicy and cold food, and eat more fresh vegetables and protein."

"For example, crucian carp, carrots, yams, and tofu, these foods can all achieve the effect of invigorating the spleen."

"Originally, I was going to make some home-cooked tofu tonight, but when I went to the market a few days ago, I found that the uncle selling tofu had been selling tofu for several days, so... I will teach you how to make tofu today alright."

The broadcaster's room.

"Make tofu?"
