"Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" states: "In the middle of June, ... heat is divided into small and large heat. The beginning of the month is small, the middle of the month is large, and the heat is still large now."

Customs of the Great HeatIt is advisable to eat ginger"Ginger can communicate with the gods, remove filth and evil, and help the unstoppable." Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty said this, and there is also a folk proverb: Eat radishes in winter and eat ginger in summer. Everyone knows that ginger is good for health, but it should not be eaten randomly. During the Great Heat, ginger soaked in vinegar is the best: it nourishes the liver, raises yang, and prevents getting angry. Vinegar is astringent, so the originally pungent nature of ginger becomes milder and it doesn’t taste spicy anymore. People who don’t like ginger can also try it. Ingredients selection: Vinegar - brewed white vinegar, ginger - fresh ginger. It is advisable to eat half a year The period around the Great Heat is the 15th day of the sixth lunar month, which is halfway through the year. It is also called the "Half-Year Festival" in Taiwan. After worshiping the gods on this day, the whole family will eat "half-year dumplings" together. Half-year dumplings are made by grinding glutinous rice into powder and then mixing it with red flour. Most of them are cooked into sweets to eat, and their symbolic meaning is reunion and sweetness. It is advisable to burn incense The Great Heat is the period of rapid growth for crops, and droughts, floods, and wind disasters are also most frequent in most areas. Therefore, people burn incense and pray for good weather and a good harvest. There is also a saying that is close to the "Three-Fu Moxibustion" in traditional Chinese medicine. Using medicinal incense to fumigate specific acupuncture points during the dog days can treat many stubborn diseases. Avoid tossing The Great Heat occurs in the sixth month of the lunar calendar, which corresponds to the “Dun” hexagram among the 64 hexagrams in the Book of Changes. "Dun" means to retreat or live in seclusion. One should hide in summer and close the door to visitors. In ancient times, the Great Heat was also a short farming off-season. It's the end of summer harvest, people are tired and it's time to take a rest. Moreover, the weather is hot at this time and it is not suitable to go out to do things, so you should stay at home and "hide". Different people have different destinies. As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." We cannot change our destiny, but we can change our fortune. Want to know your fortune in 2019?
