Recently, the phrase "Spring Earth (Ox Day)" is sometimes seen in the city.
Isn't "Doyo" a midsummer who eats eels on the day of the ox? I wondered, and looked it up.
It is derived from this "Doyo" and China's "Yin-Yang Five Lines Thought", and is said to be four times a year for each season. The 18 days before spring, summer, fall, and winter are called "earth use", and there is a meaning of the adjustment period to move on to the next season, spending time quietly before starting new things in a busy period.
By the way, in the case of this year, May 5 is a summer, so April 17 to May 4 will be used for spring soil.
Certainly, this period is the timing of "May's illness", and there is a difference in temperature between morning and evening, and it is a time to complain of mental and physical disorders, so old teachings are also used in modern times.
So, at such times, I wonder 
if you eat eels and get better, but in fact, according to the five-way philosophy, the food that sticks on the day of the ox is good for summer soil, and the spring soil is `` White that sticks on the day of the dog '' Things "are good.
Looking at the calendar, the dog day during the spring soil period is only April 29.
What is the "white thing with i"? Squid?
Is it better to go to Tsukiji and have squid sushi?
But after all, it's an eel. In the end, I went to a long-established eel shop at the main store in Ginza 8-chome.
By the way, there are two Ox Days on April 20 and May 2 in the spring of this year.
Everybody is full of people during the major holidays, but it is also recommended to enjoy spring soil, such as eating and comparing delicious eels from long-established stores in the city or eating white food at Tsukiji.
