Appetizers, snacks to help prevent colds in the rainy season Meal 1: Strawberry + spinach salad Salad Strawberry and spinach salad This salad may be light on calories, but heavy on nutritional content. Although spinach does not have significant amounts of zinc, it does provide the body with iron – another essential mineral. This is an interesting thing to note because when spinach is served with strawberries – one of the fruits with the most vitamin C – this combination allows the iron to be absorbed more quickly. That’s because vitamin C aids in the absorption of iron – which is also important for the immune system and maintaining energy levels because it makes hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is another name for red blood cells, which are essential for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the tissues. Meal 2: Chickpeas + tomato salad Salad of chickpeas, tomatoes and some other vegetables Did you know that a serving with half a cup of chickpeas provides 2g of resistant starch? In addition to being packed with fiber, healthy fats, and a bit of protein, chickpeas also have zinc. The combination of a legume family member with a vitamin C counterpart, a fresh berry tomato, makes for a great salad. In addition to their juicy taste, tomatoes are rich in lycopene, which not only gives the red pigment but also has antioxidant-like properties that may help fight cancer. Meal 3: Cauliflower + cashews Broccoli (broccoli) baked or boiled, fried will be more interesting and nutritious when sprinkled with cashews Have you ever thought of this combination? Cauliflower contains a significant amount of vitamins, while cashews contain zinc. Not only does zinc keep your immune system strong like a warrior, but it also promotes collagen production, which helps form hair, skin, and nails. Try adding cashews to steamed cauliflower! Dish 4: Chocolate dipped cherry Chocolate-dipped cherry desserts will surely be loved by children, and also help increase resistance in the rainy season It would be a big mistake not to mention this dessert, especially since dark chocolate is chock full of zinc and one of the best foods to prevent colds. A 100g chocolate bar (about 9.6mg of zinc) provides women with more than 100% of their daily mineral needs, but does not meet men’s needs of 11mg. Cherries are full of vitamin C, especially acerola or barbados cherries, which contain a large amount of 134% vitamin C. Meal 5: Kale salad (kale) + pumpkin seeds When you cook dishes with pumpkin, keep the seeds, roast them for salads! Kale is lauded in the vegetable world with good reason.

Dish 7: Sweet potato + grilled garlic If you have sweet potatoes in your kitchen, and you find yourself sniffling a bit because of a cold, don’t forget this wonderful remedy! Sweet potatoes not only provide vitamin C, but also contain large amounts of beta-carotene – another antioxidant that helps fight heart disease, cancer and countless chronic diseases.

Pineapple is not only rich in vitamin C but also provides the body with a very important ingredient called bromelain.

Choosing to go to Taoist temples or ancient temples on rainy days is not just a simple visit to me, at least I also have a sincere attitude.

Tao… “Dao can be Tao, but it is not a constant Tao. A name can be a name, but not a constant name. Nameless, the beginning of all things; famous, the mother of all things.”

Whenever we mention Taoist temples, we can’t help but think of a Taoist temple with thousands of years of history hidden in the mountains and plains above the sea of ​​pine trees. What impresses me is the Louguan Terrace hidden in the depths of the Qinling Mountains.

But the view of Changchun in the bustling and busy city made me amazed, and I couldn’t help secretly happy: visiting on rainy days is really a wise choice.

Wuhan Changchun Temple is built on the south slope of Shuangfeng Mountain in the northeast corner of Changda East Gate and in the middle of Snake Mountain. It is one of the famous Taoist places in my country. The Guannei worships the Quanzhen Taoist school, and is named “Changchunzi” by its founder, Qiu Chuji Road, the disciple of Chongyang Patriarch. name.

Changchun Temple has a long history and origins in Taoism. It was built in the Yuan Dynasty by the disciples of Qiu Chuji to commemorate his persuasion to “stop killing with one word” when the Yuan army went south.

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the Changchun Temple was hailed as “a famous area in Jiangchu, where Daozi gathered, and the place of refuge for Huangguan”.

The view of Changchun rises up on the mountain, with successive layers of buildings, with rigorous structure, decent layout, and grand scale.

The main buildings are the Lingguan Hall, the Second Temple, the Taiqing Hall, the Ancient God Altar, the Ancient Xiannong Altar, the Shifangtang, the Jingtang, the Great Guest Hall, the Merit Temple, the Dashige, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the Taoist Pavilion, the Qiu Zudian, and the abbot Hall, Shipu Hall, Chunyang Temple, etc.

Most of these buildings are brick and wood structures, with bucket arches and eaves, and the carvings are delicate and vivid, delicate and elegant.

Among them, Daozang Pavilion is very magical. Its architecture has Tibetan style and European style. It can be regarded as one of the three best Taoist temples, making Changchun Temple the only building group with Tibetan and European styles of Taoism in our country.

In addition, the “Two Wonders” are the “astronomical map” (very precious astronomical cultural relics) left in the country, and the stone carving of “Gantang” gifted by Emperor Qianlong (one of the few emperor’s inscriptions in Taoist architecture).

Although Changchun Taoist Temple is a place for Taoist cultivation of morals and rituals, it has become a tourist attraction because of its quiet scenery and elegant architecture. Its “three uniques” have attracted many tourists.

And I chose to come here on rainy days because of the four words “Tao law nature”, natural wind, natural rain, Taoist natural philosophy is looming.

This Taoist temple is not the same as all the Taoist temples I have seen. If there are similarities, the Kaiyuan Temple located in the ancient city of Jingzhou can be compared with it.

Kaiyuan View, like Changchun View, also faces the street market, and there is constant traffic in the bustling world.

Coincidentally, I visited Kaiyuan Temple and Changchun Temple on rainy days. Although Kaiyuan Temple has no Taoist priests and true believers of the rites and spirits, the quiet and simple environment still makes people feel “the realm of distant mountains.”

The Changchun Temple is more obvious. It is known as “a quiet and blessed place in the busy city”. It often makes people travel between history and modern civilization. The stone wall weeds in the Taoist Temple make me feel like I am in a distant mountain in a light rain. .

When I came to Changchun Temple on a rainy day, there were very few tourists, which made me feel more peaceful. On the way, I also saw a lot of Taoist priests, one of them was quite immortal. In the words of a friend, “very cool”.

But I don’t know if it is because of him or because of the environment, the artistic conception of “deep mountains and old forests, gradually entering fairyland” has become more intense.

As the rain gets wet, the secluded environment and quaint buildings are breathtaking, and the occasional strolling kittens and roosters add infinite aura.

When my lens is facing the moss, rock walls, weeds, and wildflowers, my eyes are staring at them. The deeper I go, the quieter the atmosphere, and the greater the cohesion of nature. The wisdom, The goodness of all things lies in the gap.

“Tao” is the way of the universe, the way of nature, and the way of individual practice.

Virtue is the foundation and Tao is sublimation. “Tao” generates all things and is connoted in all things. “Dao” is in things, and things are in “Dao”. All things and all things go to the same destination by different paths, and they all lead to “Dao”.

Tao, where is the Tao?

Along the wet stone steps, passing by cats and roosters, through various halls, to the highest point.

The modern city construction is very eye-catching. This centuries-old Taoist temple is surrounded by it, but because of the “deep artistic conception”, the bustling and bustling city is forgotten.

At this moment, staring at it, the tall buildings are no different from the mountain peaks, the traffic is like beasts, and the joys and sorrows in the world are just like plants and trees.

As the rain became stronger, when I returned to the eaves of a temple of Taoism, I watched the raindrops fall down along the blue tiles, and watched it splash on the stone slabs and produce water flowers. My heart seemed to be here. Melt into one, like a hermit.
