Twenty-Four Solar Terms for Health Preservation—End of Heat

The Chushu solar term is marked by three phenological signs: First, hawks begin to hunt birds and display their prey as if offering a sacrifice; second, the heavens and earth start to feel crisp and austere; third, the grains ripen and are ready for harvest. Regarding the sign “hawks begin to hunt birds,” it’s said that from this day onward, hawks sense the coolness of autumn and start hunting, then arrange their prey in a manner resembling a ritual offering—a practice ancient people called “a righteous act.” The word “su” in “the heavens and earth start to feel crisp and austere” means “to purify” or “to clear.” As the weather becomes crisp and clear, it inevitably brings with it a sense of desolation. Chushu is also the season of harvest; “he” refers to various grains. Only after the weather turns crisp and cold can crops mature and be harvested—this stage of maturity is called “deng.” Folk Customs of the Chushu Solar Term: • Floating River Lanterns • Opening of the Fishing Festival • Ancestral Worship and Welcoming Autumn • Paying Homage to the Earth God • Eating Duck • Brewing Medicinal Tea I. Health Tips for Chushu Early bedtimes and early wake-ups benefit the kidneys and liver; eat more salty foods and drink plenty of water to combat autumn dryness. Eat porridge to replenish fluids and moisten dryness, and drink honey water frequently. Avoid excessive ginger consumption. Ensure good ventilation, add clothing in the mornings and evenings, and protect your intestines and stomach. Early Bedtimes and Early Wake-Ups: During Chushu, we’re transitioning from hot to cool weather. The yang energy in nature shifts from dispersing to gathering, and the balance of yin and yang within the body also changes accordingly. At this time, our daily routines should adjust accordingly, especially getting sufficient sleep—ideally an hour more than usual—so that we can better adapt to autumn fatigue. Eat More Salty Foods to Nourish Kidneys and Liver: From a dietary perspective, it’s advisable to nourish the kidneys and liver, moisten the lungs, and strengthen the stomach. Include more salty foods in your diet, such as water chestnuts, arrowhead, and kudzu root. From a health standpoint, Chushu is an ideal time to consume foods that clear heat and calm the mind, such as white fungus, lily bulbs, lotus seeds, honey, yellow croaker, dried scallops, kelp, jellyfish, celery, spinach, glutinous rice, sesame seeds, beans, and dairy products. However, don’t overindulge in any one food—eat smaller portions more frequently instead. Drink More Water to Combat Autumn Dryness: It’s recommended to drink a glass of warm water upon waking up in the morning. This helps awaken the entire digestive system, stimulates intestinal movement, and encourages you to go to the bathroom—thus preventing constipation. But avoid drinking cold water, as the spleen and stomach prefer warmth and dislike cold. Drinking water colder than room temperature can actually harm your health. Eat Porridge to Replenish Fluids and Moisturize Dryness: Lily bulb porridge, white fungus porridge, almond porridge, lotus seed porridge, nut porridge, and sesame paste are all excellent choices for a nourishing breakfast. Traditional Chinese medicine reminds us that elderly people, those with weaker constitutions, or anyone who feels noticeably unwell every winter should start conditioning their bodies from autumn onwards—drinking more water and eating more foods that nourish yin and moisten dryness to boost the body’s resistance. Drink More Honey, Less Ginger: Diabetics can consume honey in moderation. Keep the air circulating and add clothing in the mornings and evenings. During Chushu, when early autumn has just begun and the summer heat hasn’t fully dissipated, it’s best not to add too many layers of clothing too soon. Base your decision on how you personally feel—not too cold—and gradually increase your body’s ability to adapt to cooler temperatures. Of course, “autumn chilling” varies from person to person. Elderly people and children have weaker immune systems, slower metabolic functions, and reduced blood circulation, making them both sensitive to cold and heat and highly responsive to weather changes. They should adjust their clothing even more promptly. Protect Your Intestines and Stomach: Eat meals on time, avoid bad fats, and choose soft foods. The foods that put the least strain on your gastrointestinal tract are those rich in starch and low in anti-nutritional factors—such as mashed yam, mashed taro, mashed potatoes, rice porridge, and millet porridge. Coarse cornmeal, which contains too much fiber, isn’t suitable for people with digestive problems. II.

Seasonal Health Preservation for the Twenty-Four Solar Terms | Beginning of Autumn

The summer heat hasn't yet dissipated, yet the moonlight is bright and shimmering like rippling water. As the first autumn breezes begin to blow, they slip into your sleeves, instantly bringing a hint of coolness. The Beginning of Autumn is the 13th of the 24 solar terms. There are three stages associated with the Beginning of Autumn: First, the cool breeze arrives; second, white dew begins to fall; third, the cold cicadas start to sing. After the Beginning of Autumn, the temperature doesn't drop immediately—rather, the weather gradually grows cooler, and the temperature difference between morning and evening steadily widens. During seasonal transitions, we need to make adjustments in both our diet and daily routines.
