惊蛰暖春 万物苏醒

为了让孩子们多方面地了解惊蛰这一节气的气候特点、农事要点以及特色习俗，我园开展了“春雷响、万物长”系列活动，带领孩子感受“惊蛰”的节气文化，共赴一场“惊蛰”与“生长”相遇的开学盛典。

In order to help children understand the climate characteristics, agricultural practices, and customs of the “Jingzhe” solar term from various aspects, our kindergarten has launched a series of activities called “Spring Thunder, Everything Grows”, leading children to experience the culture of the “Jingzhe” solar term and go to a grand opening ceremony where “Jingzhe” and “Growth” meet.

春雷一声响，藏了一个冬天的小虫子们都被“惊醒了”。孩子们与老师一起仔细寻找着小虫子的踪迹，探索惊蛰这一天大自然的奥秘，并制作了七星瓢虫惊蛰创意画。

With the sound of spring thunder, all the little insects that had been hiding for a winter were awakened. The children and the teacher carefully searched for the traces of the small insects, explored the mysteries of nature on the day of Jingzhe, and created a creative painting of the seven star ladybug Jingzhe.

●养阳护肝少吃酸

Nourish Yang and Protect Liver, Eat Less Acid

从饮食方面来看，由于春季与肝相应，如养生不当则可伤肝。饮食起居应顺肝之性，助益脾气，令五脏和平。宜多吃富含植物蛋白质、维生素的清淡食物，少食动物脂肪类食物。可多食菠菜、水萝卜、苦瓜、木耳菜、芹菜、油菜、山药等食物。

此外，应以“春夏养阳”为原则，可适当多吃能升发阳气的食物，如韭菜、菠菜、芥菜、大葱等。因此时肝气正旺，易伤脾气，故要少吃酸，多吃大枣、锅巴、山药等甜食易养脾，可做成大枣粥、山药粥。

From a dietary perspective, due to the correspondence between spring and the liver, improper health preservation can harm the liver. Drinking, eating, and living should conform to the liver’s nature, benefit the spleen, and bring peace to the five internal organs. It is advisable to eat more light foods rich in plant protein and vitamins, and less animal fat foods. You can eat more foods such as spinach, water radish, bitter gourd, ear fungus, celery, rapeseed, yam, etc.

In addition, the principle of “nourishing yang in spring and summer” should be followed, and it is appropriate to eat more foods that can enhance yang energy, such as leeks, spinach, mustard, scallions, etc. Therefore, when the liver is in full swing, it is easy to hurt the temper. Therefore, we should eat less sour food and more sweet food such as jujube, crispy rice and yam to nourish the spleen. It can be made into jujube Congee and yam Congee.

●惊蛰时节多吃梨

Eat more pears during the Jingzhe season

在民间有惊蛰吃梨的习俗，有人说“梨”谐音“离”，惊蛰吃梨可让虫害远离庄稼，另外惊蛰吃梨也有养生意义，惊蛰后气候回暖，人体容易外感咳嗽、口干舌燥，而梨性微寒且甘润，能润肺止咳。

In folk customs, there is a custom of Jingzhe eating pears. Some people say that “pear” sounds like “li”. Jingzhe eating pears can keep pests away from crops. In addition, Jingzhe eating pears has health benefits. After Jingzhe, the climate warms up, and the body is prone to external coughing, dry mouth, and tongue. Pears have a slightly cold and sweet nature, which can moisten the lungs and stop coughing.

●多饮水、多吃时令野菜

Drink more water and eat more seasonal wild vegetables

仲春是容易“上火”的季节，如遇上少雨干旱，体质更易偏燥。此时最好能晨起一杯水，首选白开水。饮水可帮助排除毒素，还能维持皮肤、黏膜的完整性，构成抵御感染的屏障。另外，平时像绿茶、玫瑰花茶、菊花茶等清肝饮品，可以去火、清脂，也可酌情多喝一些。

惊蛰后野菜渐多，如荠菜、苦菜、苦菊、苣荬菜、马兰头等，可适当多吃。野菜大多营养丰富，还富含维生素C及有助防病的活性成分。适当多吃，有助增强人体免疫力，还能抵御病菌的侵害。

Mid spring is a season that is prone to heat, and if there is less rain or drought, the body is more prone to dryness. It’s best to get up with a glass of water in the morning at this time, preferably plain water. Drinking water can help eliminate toxins and maintain the integrity of the skin and mucous membranes, forming a barrier against infection. In addition, liver clearing drinks such as green tea, rose tea, and chrysanthemum tea can be used to reduce heat, clear fat, or consumed more as needed.

After the awakening of insects, there are gradually more wild vegetables, such as shepherd’s purse, bitter cabbage, bitter chrysanthemum, chicory, and magnolia head, which can be eaten in moderation. Most wild vegetables are rich in nutrients, as well as vitamin C and active ingredients that help prevent diseases. Eating more appropriately can help enhance the body’s immune system and resist the invasion of bacteria.

“一年之际在于春”，惊蛰到了，春暖花开，万物复苏，人们开始了新一年的播种，也开始了丰收的期望，希望小朋友们在这大好春光里把身体锻炼得棒棒的，每个人都健康茁壮成长。

The beginning of the year lies in spring, and the awakening of insects has arrived. With the warmth of spring and the blooming of flowers, everything is reviving. People have begun to sow the seeds of the new year and have also begun to hope for a bountiful harvest. I hope that children can exercise their bodies well in this beautiful spring, and everyone can grow up healthy and strong.
