"Twenty-four solar terms" said beginning of spring: The solar terms in the first month, long summer, beginning of autumn, the past and the past of the five elements continued here, and the breath of spring wood began to arrive, so it was called long summer, which is the same as autumn and winter in long summer. Beginning of spring, Changchun, beginning of autumn and beginning of winter refer to the beginning of the four seasons. Spring planting, summer sowing, autumn harvest and winter storage summarize the whole process of the relationship between agricultural production and climate in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. Climatology began in spring, when the daily average temperature stabilized above 10℃ every five days. Only when South China is in beginning of spring can it really enter spring.

Health preservation in spring should conform to the characteristics of the God of the Sun and the beginning of all things, and pay attention to protecting the God of the Sun, focusing on the word "health". According to the nature, spring belongs to wood, which corresponds to liver (this is the theory of five elements, which explains the physiological characteristics of five internal organs, such as the liver likes regulating qi, has the function of dispersing qi, and wood has the characteristics of hair growth, so the liver belongs to wood. The physiological characteristics of the liver are mainly dispersing qi, aiming at anger, aversion to depression and joy. In terms of diet recuperation, it is necessary to consider that the yang is born in spring, and it is appropriate to eat sweet and divergent products, not sour. "On Su Wen's Method of Storing Qi" says: "The liver governs the spring ... The liver is bitter and anxious, and it will be sweet when it is eaten urgently ... The liver wants to disperse, and it is dispersed with pungent food, supplemented with pungent food, and diarrhea with acid". In the relationship between five zang-organs and five flavors, sour taste enters the liver and converges, which is not conducive to the growth of yang and the release of liver qi. Dietary recuperation should be given to the viscera, that is, "suffering goes against its nature, so it is desirable." Desire is what the dirty god wants, that is, to make up for it. People who suffer are hated by the unclean god, that is, diarrhea. "Clear this relationship, we can purposefully choose some drugs and foods that soften and nourish the liver, soothe the liver and regulate qi, such as medlar, turmeric, salvia miltiorrhiza, corydalis tuber and so on. And choose jujube, lobster sauce, onion, coriander, peanuts, etc.
