2012情人節-七夕情人節的由來

2012情人節-七夕情人節的由來


今年的七夕情人節是國曆8月23日(四)。除了過西方的西洋情人節,一個屬於東方的情人節就是傳統的七夕情人節,七夕節最開始是在民間流傳的牛郎與織女的故事,它最早可以淵源自春秋戰國時期,詩經大東篇裡有提到「跤彼織女,終日七襄。雖則七襄,不成服章;睨彼牽牛,不認服箱。」。漢代起祭牛郎星及織女星的細節才與牛郎織女的故事聯繫起來,並且正式成為屬於婦女的節日。東漢風俗通有:「織女七夕當渡河,使鵲為僑。」後來七夕的一些傳統及習俗才越來越完備,到現在才有這許許多多慶典。


七夕情人節日期

七夕情人節是在農曆的七月七日,今年是在國曆的8月23日禮拜四。

七夕情人節慶典活動

台灣在七夕當天是「七娘媽」的生日。目前在台灣只有台南府城的開隆宮有做16歲的傳統,七娘媽是天帝的七個女兒,包含最小的織女,七娘媽是負責照顧小孩的女神,年輕體弱或不好帶的孩童就會給七娘媽作契子,七夕當天黃昏需拜七娘媽直至十六歲成年,小孩十六歲成年了,就必須回到宮中,感謝神明長期以來的照顧,即所謂「做十六」。 「做十六歲」的儀式就是讓滿16歲的小孩在祭拜之後鑽過七娘媽的供桌,再從父母舉起的「七娘媽亭」鑽過,最後再將「七娘媽亭」焚燒給七娘媽使用,儀式就算完成了。

月經解惑


人無須先了解消化系統怎運作才懂得進食吸收,不過當出了毛病,就必先了解運作才能順籐摸瓜,解決問題。月經也是這樣,一般人以為只是一個月一次的事情,事實都被看輕了。
哺乳類演化子宮,對比其他動物體外發育,幼體在子宮內完成發育可受更大保護。代價是,其他動物的發育能量來自卵黃,相對下,人類的卵子小得幾乎肉眼不見,能量單靠母體。子宮內膜是子宮最內層,負責提供胚胎發育初期的養分,而後期被胎盤取代。妳問:為甚麼需要月經呢?
子宮內膜充滿血管和腺體,因為高養分,而且不是完全封閉,受細菌感染的機會比其他器官更高,性交時進入的精子對於子宮更是外來物。因此,月經時子宮內膜剝落,一切從內而外排出,可確保子宮健康,受精卵亦有最佳環境殖入。正是經血污穢,女人才得到潔淨。女人一生可能只生幾個小孩,但每天卻要花一部分能量令子宮內膜增厚,不斷付出,為的是將來。

生理上,月經週期受許多激素和內分泌腺控制,不易在此說明,但重點是「動態平衡」,一部分的疾病就是源自失衡。血液中不同激素隨時間有不同濃度,幾個激素分子就足以引發強烈的瀑布效應,所以少少影響也不容忽視。除了飲食外,情緒最為左右內分泌,壓力會令人生暗瘡,而太大的情緒變化就影響週期、痛楚和血量。同時,內分泌也會影響情緒,包括血清素和腦內啡,所以有些女孩在月經來潮時會情緒低落或異常激動,甚至無故流淚,以排走多餘的激素。情緒和月經互為因果,壞情緒弄壞月經,壞月經又會弄壞情緒,所以除了受到愛護和控制好情緒外,女孩子也要明白不要勉強自己的情緒,它有一部分受到身體限制的,要懂得體諒自己。
月經不一定要廿八天才正常,重要是日數穩定,不時長時短,不少於廿一天,不多於三十五天。若連續三個月沒有月經就是閉經,長期有血即屬血漏,要及早求醫。有些女性距上次月經十四天左右便出血,未必是週期出問題,可能是「排卵期出血」,血量較少,若間中出現亦無大礙。血量因人而異,有些長期營養不足的女孩的血量極少,是內膜不夠能量增厚的原故。經痛是女性一大困擾,一般經痛來自月經時子宮肌膜收縮和缺血,暖敷和止痛藥可舒緩一時。若痛楚極大,可檢查是否前列腺素過多。若月經未來前一星期已經痛,就要加倍小心,這不只是月經的問題,可能子宮生病,長期如此,就要找醫生檢查找出主因,因為暖敷和止痛藥效果不大。提醒自己,一時變化不要過驚,要耐心觀察,看看情況有否持續。月經來潮時免疫力變得脆弱,要加倍照顧自己。另外,由於胃部與子宮接近,因此飲冷飲會帶來不良刺激,也要注重鐵質的補充。

《黃帝內經》記載:「二七(十四歲)天癸至,任脈通,太衝脈盛,月事以時下,故有子。」中醫認為,女性生理以七年作一單位,天癸相等於性激素,任脈行陰氣,太衝又名氣街,通氣血,月經以月亮週期變化。月經問題,關係於腎氣(內分泌)、陰液、氣血等。腎氣出問題的人容易驚慌,面色黑,主要影響調期。陰液不足的人舌有裂紋,脈象剛陽,兩顴發紅(虛熱)。肝脾皆為製血的主要器官,虛則血少,實則多。肝更容易受情志影響,易悲易怒的人容易肝鬱氣結,產生痛楚。

中醫講求對證下藥,不是動輒紅棗水、四物湯就有效。若體質氣血不足,貧血,指甲發白,面唇白,月經會使人更加虛弱,要補氣血,可在月經未來時飲紅棗水、食鴨肉,端午更可飲用益母草。若傷情,氣血在胞中(子宮)鬱結,血氣通行不暢產生痛楚,舌暗紅,胸肋刺痛,情緒激動,就要疏肝解鬱,避免思慮過度,基本可用柴胡疏肝湯。月經調期不定可用定經湯,而四物湯是女性長期調理身體的方藥,一般在月經開始後第六天可以服用,連續三天,晚飯後服。更年期的女性若天天飲用,更是古代女性的養生法。由於每人證候各有不同,沒有絕對療法,遇上副作用更要立即停止而尋醫。只要注意陰液氣血充足和暢通,情志舒展,便可緩和月經不調。晚上按摩足部,針對肝經、腎經,頗有長效。

有人看月經是種缺憾,有人覺得因月經而完全,但當它成為妳生活的一部分,就要好好對待它。身為男性,不了解不是藉口,起碼任何一個女人都需要感受愛,陪伴她度過精神上的折磨,多少辛苦,她也學會諒解的,像那受盡生子之痛的媽媽,望著孩子,只有微笑。

These beauty secrets are natural, safe and very cheap, but the best part is that you do not have to bother to find and buy them because you already have them in your house.
Some of these recipes are quite old and our grandmothers used it for decades, so their qualities are fully certified.
“An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is an old and famous saying. Eating an apple a day is beneficial for your general health, for your teeth and, as new studies show, against acne. The apple cider vinegar is also a dandruff natural remedy. Apply it on your scalp, leave it for half an hour and then wash your hair with your regular shampoo.  You will see that the dandruff is eliminated and your hair looks healthier than ever.
Raw potato slices put on your eyes will reduce black circles around them and if you wash you face every day with fresh potato juice you can treat the blemishes. Scrub a grated raw potato on your skin, leave it for 30 minutes and then rinse with water. This facial mask makes miracles for oily skin.
The honey is another secret ingredient used for facial masks for centuries. Apply some honey in combination with milk or yogurt on your face and after 20 minutes your face will look more healthy and younger.
Slices of fresh cucumbers applied on your eyes are the best remedy for puffiness. Grated cucumber masks are the best natural treatment for acne and blackheads. Keep it for 15 minutes and wash it off with warm water.
Crushed green grapes mixed with one spoon of flour are one of the best anti-wrinkle & reviving face masks that you can use. Apply it to your clean face and live it for 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water.
