Eating radish in winter and ginger in summer is the truth, while the skin of grasshopper is neutral and cold in traditional Chinese medicine. It is really bad for the function of spleen and stomach to continue to eat a lot at this time.

The second is because grasshoppers climb out of the soil in June, and the number will be greatly reduced by the Beginning of Autumn. From the point of view of continued reproduction, it is beneficial to them to leave some way out for grasshoppers to survive. Old people are all particular about keeping a point in things, and their life experience gives them a deep understanding of the outcome of two injuries.
