How to understand "five grains for nourishment, five fruits for help, five livestock for benefit, five vegetables for filling, and the smell is fine".
My understanding is that 1 and "five" are not five kinds of articles in a narrow sense, but all kinds of articles in a broad sense; 2. Give priority to nourishing life, staple food, supplementary food, beneficial meat food and supplementary food with staple food; 3, smell-all kinds of food can not conflict with each other, can not be completely consistent in taste; 4. The whole sentence emphasizes the need for a variety of food combinations, not partial eclipse, and balanced development of various nutrients will definitely replenish lean qi and strengthen the body.
