Time flies by like a white horse, quietly, and hurried all the way, and before you know it, the last solar term in 2019-the winter solstice is ushered in. Among the twenty-four solar terms, the winter solstice is very special. On the opposite summer solstice, the chirping of cicadas is very lively. And the four solar terms closest to it, just the names, all reveal the coldness of winter. It is the longest night in the northern hemisphere. The solar terms are the natural laws bestowed by the sky, and festivals are the cultural wealth accumulated in history. December 22 is the winter solstice when the cathode is in full bloom, and it is also the beginning of "one yang".
my country has always attached great importance to the winter solstice since ancient times. There was a saying that "the winter solstice is as big as the year", and there is a custom of celebrating the winter solstice. "Hanshu" said: "Winter Solstice Yang Qi rises, the monarch is long, so congratulations." People believe that after the Winter Solstice, the days are getting longer and longer, and the rising of Yang Qi is the beginning of a cycle of solar terms and an auspicious day. celebrate. "Book of Jin" records that "the winter solstice in the Wei and Jin Dynasties is congratulated by all nations and hundreds of bureaucrats... its ceremony is inferior to Zhengdan." It shows that the ancient times attached great importance to the winter solstice. In the Han Dynasty, the winter solstice was regarded as the "Winter Festival", and the government held a congratulatory ceremony called "He Dong". Although we can't enjoy national holidays now, we can relax on the day of the winter solstice, for example, come to the Jurassic Sea Hot Spring under Tianshan Tianchi to soak in the hot spring.
During the winter solstice, when yin and yang are in conflict and life and death are divided, it is best for a gentleman to be quiet. The ancients had a 7-day holiday on the winter solstice. Although we can't have a holiday, we still need to "quiet our minds, don't stay up late, avoid intercourse, and save gluttony." Carefully take care of the yang energy waiting to grow in the body, and let it grow stronger, and soaking in hot springs is an excellent way.
Located at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, Wujiang Hot Spring is a masterpiece of nature. When time went back 195 million years ago, it passed through the Tianshan Sea of the Ordovician, Devonian, and Lime Periods, and was uplifted during the crustal movements such as Caledonian and Variscan It has become the ancient Tianshan Mountains, and through hundreds of millions of years, the ocean has slowly accumulated magical energy. After geothermal heat, high temperature, high pressure, and crustal movement, primitive marine organisms have been transformed into beneficial ingredients, and sunlight and rain have been refined into sun and moon essence. The nutrients of the rocks were slowly absorbed, and the ocean was transformed into a rich hot spring, which has now been developed into Wujiang Tianshan Tianchi International Hot Spring Resort.
Hot springs are a way of health preservation and have a very long history in our country. However, in the past, they were mostly leisure and entertainment activities for the emperors.

According to "Beginner's Notes Lishan Tang" records: "Lishan Tang was originally built with stones by the emperor, and it was decorated by Emperor Wu." This shows that as early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, hot springs became the emperor's favorite, and later reached the peak in the Tang Dynasty. At the peak, Tang Taizong and Tang Xuanzong ordered special personnel to build palaces, successively built "Tangquan Palace", "Hot Spring Palace" and "Huaqing Palace", and visited frequently.
It’s different now. Hot springs are no longer exclusive to the emperors. As the wallets of ordinary people get bigger and bigger, the demand for health preservation is getting higher and higher, and hot springs are an excellent way, especially like Tianshan Tianchi. Selenium hot springs such as hot springs are even more rare. You must know that many famous longevity towns in China are located in selenium-rich areas, and Wujiang Hot Springs are not only rich in more than 40 trace elements necessary for the body, but also the selenium content has been obtained by the country. Certified as a veritable selenium hot spring. However, selenium hot springs are different from selenium-rich agricultural products. Soaking in hot springs can promote blood circulation and facilitate the absorption of selenium. There is no need to say much about the benefits.
According to local friends, there are a large number of hot spring resources around Tianshan Mountain, but it is not easy to develop hot springs on Tianshan Mountain. It must overcome many tests of hard rocks, and it also needs to spend a lot of energy and cost. Wujiang Hot Spring is a world-class company. The team drilled more than 3,000 meters vertically before introducing the Tianshan Hot Spring from the center of the earth, which even the kings of the earth could not enjoy in ancient times.
The current Tianshan Hot Spring has become a beautiful business card for winter tourism in Xinjiang. The temperature of the hot spring outlet here is about 66 degrees.

When people are traveling, although they can see the beautiful natural scenery and taste the special delicacies from all over the world, not many people believe that they are not tired, and hot springs are undoubtedly an excellent way to relieve fatigue. Long-distance travel and exhaustion will make muscles tense and fatigued, and soaking in hot springs can relax muscles and effectively relieve fatigue.

The elements will enter the body smoothly, not only can promote blood circulation, speed up metabolism, but also beneficial to health.
However, soaking in hot springs does not mean that the longer you soak, the better. There are also some precautions that need to be paid attention to. The correct way should start from the feet, slowly go up, slowly enter the pool, and start to soak to the chest. About 3-5 minutes, warm up and then soak the shoulders. Yufan recommends not soaking in the pool for more than 15 minutes each time, and re-entering the pool after a few minutes. If you feel chest tightness, dizziness, or dry mouth during the process, you can rest for a while by the pool, add some water, and then soak after recovery.
As a southerner, Yu Fan has experienced quite a lot of hot springs. Whether it is his hometown Chongqing or Guangdong, where he has lived for a long time, there are many natural hot springs, especially Chongqing, which is the only hot spring capital in the world, but there are very few of them. I have experienced the feeling of soaking in hot springs in a world of ice and snow. The outside of the pool is covered with snow and the sky is freezing, but the inside of the pool is steaming and warm like spring. Maybe this is the so-called double sky of ice and fire? It is said that soaking for a while and changing to another pool, this cold and hot one is also very beneficial to the health of the body.
Friends, happy winter solstice, if you have the conditions, hurry up and soak it up. If you travel to Xinjiang, it is recommended that you come to Tianshan Tianchi to experience the different feeling of watching the snow-capped mountains and soaking in hot springs. indescribable.
