Huangdi Neijing's Summer TCM Health Preservation: Four Qi Regulating Spirit (Ⅰ)

Caiyun studies: stay up late and get up early in summer.

So, how to calculate the specific time period, earlier and later? What are the standards of "night" and "morning"?

The interpretation of the word "night" in Kangxi Dictionary is: "Day is night, and day is right." When the sun goes down, it's night.

The interpretation of the word "day" in Shuo Wen Jie Zi is: "The difference between day and night is the boundary." When the sun comes out, it's day.

Changxiu in the east, a day began; The sun sets in the west and the night begins. 24 hours a day is nothing more than alternating day and night.

The sun is fresh every day; The sun is different every day of the year. It can be seen that the so-called day and night are not a fixed time, but there is no fixed time period.

For example, on the summer solstice, at 4:52, the day begins; From winter to the sun, the sun rises at 7: 19, and it starts during the day; Similarly, on the summer solstice, the sun sets at 19:32, and the night begins; On the solstice of winter, the sun sets at 16:59, and the night begins.

However, no matter how the sun turns, as long as you have a red sun in your heart and take your local sun as a reference, you will naturally have a judgment of day and night.

Let's look at the morning and evening.

"Early", the earliest inscription visible at present, is that the sun clings to the ground; That is to say, before the sun rises. As for "late", Shuo Wen Jie Zi says "late, mo (mu) also", which is the original word of "dusk", that is, after the sun goes down, it is even later than this time, that is, it is late.

Morning and evening not only indicate the time related to day and night, but also are adverbs indicating the degree of too early or too late in many cases.

Before the specified time, it is early; On the contrary, after a certain period of time, it will be late.

How to grasp this degree sooner or later?

Caiyun is considered as follows: the difference between summer solstice and winter solstice is 5 hours, and two and a half hours are taken as the morning and evening time periods; Then divide these two and a half hours into three parts, one is 50 minutes, divided into three degrees: within 50 minutes in the morning and evening, within 100 minutes in the morning and evening, and within 150 minutes in the morning and evening.

Taking the summer solstice as an example, according to the requirements of "going to bed late and getting up early", it is daytime at 4:52 after sunrise, and nighttime after sunset 19:32+ 150 minutes =22:02 and 19: 00. The "get up early" time should be greater than 4:52 and less than 4:52-50 =4:02.

Limited by the length of the article, Caiyun will not expand. I hope to have time to share the sleeping time of the four seasons with my family and friends in detail.

"Sleeping at night and getting up early" receives the clear air of heaven and earth. In addition, you can take a nap properly to adapt to the changes of yin and yang and ensure a full mental state.

Caiyun reading and learning: don't get tired of the long and hot days.

"Never tired of the sun" means not hating the sun. Why do you say that? We can see that when summer comes, some people often say "it's so hot, so hot". Sweating in the hot sun during the day; Hiding in the shade, I'm still sweating; Even at night, the afterglow of the sun is still there, and the hot air is still bubbling.

Once people are "tired of the sun", they will avoid the sun, the air-conditioning fan keeps blowing, and they don't like to toss during the day and night. As a result, when it is time to sweat, you can't sweat; When it was sent, it was blocked. Coupled with other incorrect lifestyles, cold beer crayfish, puffed up all night, can't get rid of heat, can't lift yang, can't adapt to summer, and hurt internal organs, and so on and so forth.

"The insatiable sun" means taking active preventive measures in hot weather. If you should sweat, you should sweat. When it is time to replenish water, it is necessary to replenish water in time; The rest, just have a good rest; Keep your fighting spirit high.

Colorful cloud reading and learning: let your feelings express naturally, without being depressed, unwilling or crazy.

"Anger" is an emotional outburst that gradually gathers to a certain state of tension after depression. On the one hand, the heat wave in summer is a fire, and people's qi and blood are outside; Summer heat leads to the heart, and internal yang is insufficient, which is prone to chest tightness, shortness of breath, sweating and other symptoms. When things happen, it's easy to rush up and get angry. On the other hand, for the above "Japanese haters", the rising channel with normal yang spirit is blocked and delayed, and it is easy to form stagnation.

"Make your mind angry" is to avoid this bad stimulus and make the emotional god calm and feel safe. On the one hand, let emotions be expressed naturally, not repressed; On the other hand, let your emotions calm down and don't get angry easily.

In fact, the secret of "making people angry" lies in "insatiable greed for sunshine". People walk with the sun, so that the body often sweats moderately, which helps the yang to grow outward and the mood can be adjusted in time.

Colorful Cloud Reading and Learning: To let the spirit grow naturally, every flower is open and every fruit is full.

Both "flower" and "cherry blossom" are flowers of plants, and "show" is real, while "those with real images droop". "Flower shadows become beautiful" is a process in which plants naturally bloom, drop flowers and bear fruit.

"Making Huaying a beautiful flower" is an analogy between human spirit and natural flowers and fruits, and the flower of our spirit should be more beautiful. The inner world of each of us should be rich, full and vigorous.

Colorful cloud reading and learning: let human qi and blood flow naturally.

"Drainage" is an open state, especially in summer, and drainage should be timely. With stagnation, vent in time; It's too hot, put it in time. And the "Japanese-weary" group, sweat is not allowed to flow; Cold drinks, Yang Can not up, washed away the normal channels of human catharsis. Eating cold drinks and meals in the stomach and suffocating the yang in the body will hurt the body and the yin and yang will lose their conditioning.

"Let the air vent" means that all of us should actively adapt to the "bitter summer" weather outside, and when it is time to converge and supplement, we should converge and supplement in time; When it is time to vent and volatilize, vent and volatilize in time.

Colorful cloud reading and learning: just like a heart, it is completely presented to the outside world, and the inner love is also fully presented.

The traditional Chinese character "love" has a "heart". In the Kangxi dictionary, the word is "benevolence is born from the heart". What do you mean? Love is a closed mind and a vigorous heart, but it is hidden in the deep heart and difficult to be known by others.

And "beloved" is actually "the place of love", which refers to the soul.

"If what you love is outside", here is another example, saying that our hearts seem to grow outside the body in summer, not inside it. The mind is stretched and visible; Full of enthusiasm, you can express it freely and directly.

Why do you say that? As we know, summer heat is connected with the heart, and the heart governs the summer heat and nourishes the heart. Summer heat is the most beneficial to the heart.

Nourishing the heart is nourishing the spirit. In summer, people can't shut themselves off, and they can't block the normal communication with Xia Qi like a big lady who can't go out. On the contrary, they must come out, be loved by everyone, see the blooming, conform to Xia Qi, and open their hearts to love, chase and enjoy every day in summer.

Finally, Caiyun sincerely wishes you good health, family happiness and all the best. We sincerely invite you to join our Healthy Family 365 TCM Parent-child Parenting Program, where a doctor from China raises a baby and a doctor from China, China.
