春在五行中又屬木
在五臟中屬肝
春天亦是肝木旺盛
肝又主情志 特別是怒
於是春天容易使人生氣

In the 5 elements, spring is what the Chinese Medicine considered “wood”. Within the 5 organs is the liver. Spring is also represents liver energy grows strong. The liver is also the main organ that controls emotion, especially the emotion of anger, therefore, Springtime is relatively easier to get angry.

突然發脾氣 或情緒不穩的時間也增多

There is also an increase in the time for sudden tantrums or emotional instability during Springtime.

金針菜又即是黃花菜
它亦有個名字叫忘憂草 療愁花
我不知道老祖宗們如何到解其特性
但的確金針菜具有很高的營養價值
特別是豐富的卵磷酯
幫助腦部運動 集中注意力 提神醒腦
腦筋清楚 也就不會那麼容易暴燥吧

Daylily is also named “no worry plant” in the Chinese culture, I don't know how the ancestors were able to find out their characteristics and the medical value, but indeed the plant daylily has a high nutritional value, especially rich in lecithin. There helps with brain movements to concentrate on refreshment. As a result, it's not easy to get bored and potentially that’s the reason why it will cut down the chances of becoming irritate.

另外值得注意的是鮮品不宜單吃
因為有秋水仙鹼
會中毒的

Please also be paying attention that fresh products of daylily should not be eaten alone, as it contains colchicine. If you were to do some research, overeating the chemical colchicine will get you poisoned.

建議和肉或其他蔬菜一齊煮

Therefore, it is strongly recommend that you cook that with other meat or veggies.

例如：大部份媽媽的名菜
金針雲耳蒸雞就是一個不錯的選擇

For example: most of the mother's famous dishes
Steamed Chicken with Lily Flowers and Fungus would be a great choice
