Nanhulu (South Lake Nut)
Basic Introduction to NanhuluNanhulu is a famous local specialty of Jiaxing, named after its cultivation in the waters centered around South Lake in Jiaxing. Also known as green nuts, yuan nuts, monk nuts, or Nandang nuts, the harvest season is around the Mid-Autumn Festival. Peel off the thin green outer layer, and you're left with the white flesh of the nut. It's crisp, sweet, refreshing, and thirst-quenching; once you've tasted it, you'll never forget it. When Nanhulu hits the market, though there's no official agreement, the people of Jiaxing have a custom of eating these nuts, a shared tradition. Nanhulu can be eaten as a fruit or used in cooking. Remove the shell, stir-fry them, and sprinkle with green onion for a dish that is visually appealing and delicious. Cooked with meat or made into a rice dish, they give off an enticing aroma and a unique flavor.Existence of Nanhulu 5,000 Years AgoNanhulu has been around for over 5,000 years.

Trend Among Elementary School Students: Playing With Bead Strings, Risk of Tenosynovitis
Recently, media reports have highlighted a new trend among elementary school students: playing with bead strings. Parents of elementary school children are likely familiar with these toys, which consist of an elastic string and multiple colorful beads that can be freely connected to make bracelets, necklaces, rings, or simply played with in the hand, producing a clicking sound that helps relieve stress. According to Deputy Director Wang Sheng, an orthopedic surgeon at Jiaxing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Zhejiang Province, playing with bead strings can relieve stress and improve manual dexterity. However, excessive play or overexertion can cause finger and joint pain, and even lead to tenosynovitis. What is Tenosynovitis? The tenosynovium is a semicircular structure near the joints that surrounds the tendon tissue, helping to fixate the tendons. When joints move, friction occurs between the tendons and the tenosynovium. If this friction becomes excessive, such as from activities like playing the piano, knitting, using smartphones, or playing with bead strings, it can cause non-infectious inflammation of the tenosynovium. In the early stages of tenosynovitis, symptoms include pain, a sense of friction, and local swelling at the affected site, with symptoms worsening during movement. Sometimes, small pea-sized nodules may be…
