Cloudy in autumn and winter, cloudy in autumn and cloudy in winter. In autumn and winter, dryness and evil can damage yin, so taking nourishing yin or applying moisturizing skin care products in autumn and winter can also help prevent dryness and keep indoor air moist. It gets colder in autumn and colder in winter. People like to eat spicy food and drink to keep out the cold. Spicy products are easy to get angry, wine is easy to get hot and humid, and eating too much hurts yin. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid dryness and evil in autumn and winter, and avoid overeating to prevent yin injury.
People think that summer is warm and evil, and summer is easy to hurt yin, so it is necessary to nourish yin in spring and summer; Cold evil in autumn and cold evil in winter are easy to hurt yang, so it is necessary to raise yang in autumn and winter. Why does Neijing only emphasize "nourishing yang in spring and summer and nourishing yin in autumn and winter"? As we all know, warm spring and summer are easy to hurt yin, and cool autumn and cold winter are easy to hurt yang. In spring and summer, people know how to raise yin but not Yang. In autumn and winter, people know how to raise yang but not Yin. Therefore, in spring and summer, there are people who seek to nourish yin but hurt yang; In autumn and winter, there are still people who hurt yin because they want to raise yang.
Neijing is ignored by many people in the world, but saints who are good at keeping in good health can know it. Therefore, it is said that "saints nourish yang in spring and summer and yin in autumn and winter" obey the changes of yin and yang in the four seasons, that is, "follow their roots".
