How to maintain health in spring, summer, autumn and winter?

Where is the most Yin Qi?

Where is the most sunny?

The secret of keeping in good health in four seasons--conforming to yin and yang.

The key to keeping healthy in the four seasons is to conform to yin and yang. Why should health care conform to yin and harmony? Because heaven, earth and man are a whole, and man corresponds to heaven and earth. What is the corresponding? Yin and Yang correspond to gasification. Therefore, we must know the law of yin-yang gasification in order to conform to yin-yang gasification for health preservation.

So, what is Yin and Yang?

That's a good question To be able to preserve health by yin and yang, of course, we must first know what yin and yang are.

Everything that is sunny, outgoing, bright, rising, warm and moving will always belong to Yang.

Everything with its back to the sun, inside, dark, falling, cold and relatively static belongs to Yin.

Yin and Yang are produced by the movement of the universe, especially the movement of the sun and the moon.

The movement of the sun and the moon produces yin and yang, and the change of qi produced by the interaction of yin and yang is called yin and yang gasification. The gasification of yin and yang produces the changes of cold, hot, warm and cool seasons and the temperature difference between day and night.

Speaking of Yin and Yang, we must mention the Book of Changes, which is a classic in China's classics. The Book of Changes is a book about the movement and philosophy of Yin and Yang.

There is a truth: the simpler, the more practical. Taiji diagram is the simplest but most practical diagram about the gasification of Yin and Yang, which embodies the most profound philosophy of Yin and Yang in the Book of Changes.

The beautiful taiji diagram consists of yin fish and yang fish, as shown in the following figure.

Taiji diagram condenses the philosophy of Yin and Yang and is a symbol of the movement of Yin and Yang.

The meaning of taiji diagram is actually a sentence: Yin and Yang share the world equally.

More specifically, everything in the world is a movement of yin and yang, and it is a combination of yin and yang. They transform and restrict each other. Cathode is Yang, anode is Yin, and there is Yang in the Yin. The health care of people with yin in yang also changes with the rise and fall of yin and yang in nature. So, what is the law of the growth and decline of Yin and Yang?

Cathode is at midnight (from 23: 00 pm to 1: 00 pm), during the winter solstice of the year; Anodes are used at noon (1 1 to 13) and summer solstice in a year.

The cathode is positive and the anode is long. That is, the cathode is positive and the anode is negative. When the yin reaches the extreme, it begins to transform to the sun, and when the yang reaches the extreme, it begins to transform to the yin. After the cathode, it enters the stage of yang generating and yin extinguishing; After the anode, it enters the yin-long-yang elimination period again. Shi Mao is from 5 o'clock to 7 o'clock in a day, which is the vernal equinox of a year; Unitary time is from 17 to 19 of a day, which is the autumnal equinox of a year. In short, it is sunny from noon to noon, and cloudy from noon to noon.

The five internal organs of human beings are completely connected with the Qi of the four seasons, specifically:

Spring (wind) qi passes through the liver.

Summer (fire) qi communicates with the heart.

Long summer (wet) qi passes through the spleen.

Autumn (dryness) qi ventilates the lungs.

Winter (cold) qi passes through the kidney.

Therefore, the classic classic of traditional Chinese medicine, Huangdi Neijing, has pointed out the methods of preserving health in the four seasons, and these methods are also carried out according to the law of the ups and downs of Yin and Yang in the four seasons.

How to keep in good health in spring?

Spring is the beginning of the birth of yang and the disappearance of yin, so it is necessary to raise yang. In spring, everything grows, and liver qi is needed. The way to keep in good health lies in nourishing the liver. The principle is: live without killing, so as to make life. Cultivate someone's mind to flourish. Otherwise, it will hurt the liver, it will be cold in summer and there will be few elders. It means that if you hurt your liver qi, you will reduce your ability to adapt to summer.

Therefore, Huangdi Neijing suggested that in spring and March, you should lie down at night and get up early, put on your hair and go slow, so that your ambition will be long.

How to exercise in summer?

Summer is the extreme period when yang grows and yin disappears. Summer is the master of growth, everything is prosperous, and the heart needs to be used. Health care should be based on nourishing the heart. You should vent your anger (you sweat when you sweat), because summer belongs to the yang, and the yang dominates the outside, so you sweat a lot. On the contrary, you will feel sad, and you will get phlegm syndrome (respiratory disease) in autumn, which will reduce your adaptability to autumn. The so-called recipients are few.

As the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic says: In Xia San month, lie down at night and get up early. Don't be tired of the sun (don't be afraid of the sun), so you will be out of breath (be happy) and vent your anger (don't sweat). If you love to be outside (do more outdoor activities).

How to maintain health in autumn?

Autumn is the time when yin grows and yang disappears, so we should nourish yin. Autumn harvest is the main thing, everything converges, and lung qi should be used. Health care should be based on nourishing the lungs. If bound, it will hurt the lungs. There will be diarrhea in winter (diarrhea that does not melt after eating food), and there are few people serving Tibet (reducing the ability to adapt to winter).

Therefore, Huangdi Neijing said: In autumn and March, it is advisable to lie down early and get up early, and have fun with the chicken (work and rest with the chicken), so as to calm down and converge.

How to maintain health in winter?

Everything is hidden in the soil in winter, and kidney qi should be hidden in the Lord. Health care should be based on nourishing the kidney, otherwise it will hurt the kidney and lead to flaccidity in spring. Fewer students (reducing the ability to adapt to spring).

Therefore, Huangdi Neijing said: everything is closed in winter and March, and water and ice are frozen, which does not disturb the yang. Keep your spirit inside, keep warm from the cold and sweat less. Stay in the sun (get more sunshine).

Why should we raise Yang in spring and summer and Yin in autumn and winter?

Why should we conform to the yin and yang of nature to keep fit?

Because the ups and downs of yin and yang in the four seasons are the basis of the birth, growth, culture and hiding of all things, Huangdi Neijing says that saints nourish yang in spring and summer and yin in autumn and winter.

Why raise yang in spring and summer? Because spring and summer is the stage when the yang grows and the yin disappears, keeping up with the gasification trend of the yang growth will be better than other times, so we should raise yang in spring and summer.

Why do you want to raise yin in autumn and winter? Because autumn and winter are the stages of yin generating and yang eliminating, if you follow the gasification trend of yin generating, the effect will be better than other times, so you should nourish yin in autumn and winter.

Yin and Yang complement each other. According to the relationship between Yin and Yang, Yin is rooted in Yang, and Yang is rooted in Yin. Yin is the foundation of yang, without which yang cannot be transformed; Yang is the driving force of Yin, without which Yin can't live. Therefore, nourishing yin in autumn and winter is a foundation for nourishing yang in spring and summer; Nourishing yang in spring and summer, so nourishing yin in autumn and winter is the driving force.

How do people with yin deficiency preserve their health?

-characteristics of yin deficiency

Yin deficiency refers to the loss of essence, blood and body fluid, and the deficiency of yin governing yang and yin fluid, mainly kidney yin deficiency, because kidney yin is the basis of all yin.

-Re-understand Yin Qi.

Yin Qi includes physiological type and pathological type: pathological yin is waste and should be discharged; The human body can't live without Yin, because Yin is the foundation of Yang, and without Yin, Yang Can can't transform, so it's really important to nourish Yin.

Water is more important in nourishing yin. Because water is the basis of yin and yang gasification, life can't last without water. Water is the source of Yin Qi, so we should not only drink more water, but also smoke Yin Qi.

-Where is the most Yin Qi?

First, the seaside, mountains, rivers and mountains. Exercise in these places, take a deep breath and inhale a lot of Yin Qi, which is undoubtedly very beneficial to longevity.

Second, grounding gas. This is an important method of nourishing yin. Because the sky is yang, the earth is yin, and the soil is a mineral deposit of yin and qi, grounding gas is very important, which means that you should always be barefoot, so that the soil and qi can rise from the Yongquan point at the foot of your foot to your body.

Third, the north. This is an important direction of production in Yin Qi, so Yin deficiency should stay in the north and absorb Yin Qi from the north.

Fourth, at night, facing the moonlight. Because the day is sunny, the night is cloudy, the day is sunny and the month is cloudy, so people with yin deficiency have the best effect when facing the moonlight at night.

Fifth, depression. This is where Yin Qi is concentrated, because the high is Yang and the low is Yin. People who live on the first floor are also good, and they can breathe every day, so their life expectancy is longer than that of people who live in tall buildings.

-What are the diets for nourishing yin?

First, things that grow in water, such as lotus roots, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts and water chestnuts.

The second is food born in the north and in the shade, winter wheat, sweet potato and yam growing in the ground.

In a word, the earth's atmosphere, north, moonlight and depressions are all cloudy, which is an effective place to collect and absorb negative oxygen ions.

How do people with yang deficiency preserve their health?

-What are the characteristics of yang deficiency?

Yang deficiency refers to the decline or weakness of human body function, lack of heat, and yang deficiency leads to a cold. The deficiency of yang in human body is mainly due to the deficiency of kidney yang (qi deficiency), because kidney yang is the basis of all yang in human body.

Causes of yang deficiency: mostly congenital deficiency or acquired malnutrition, including improper diet, fatigue or diseases that damage yang.

-Yang's great significance to life

Yang is the driving force of life. Qi wrote ""in ancient times. That is, gas contains fire, and fire is power. Therefore, Yang has a dynamic role.

Yang qi, yin forming. Without yin, yang has no roots, and without yang, yin cannot be transformed, so the transformation must rely on it. Congenital qi, also known as vitality, is the fire of life, hidden in the kidney, also known as the fire of life, and the fire of life is extremely precious.

When the fire goes out, life will be over, so protecting the yang and reducing the loss of the yang are important mysteries of anti-aging.

-When and where is the yang most abundant?

1. When the sun is at the top at noon, stand in the yard and take off your hat, and the essence of the sun can enter the human body from Baihui point above your head.

Second, standing in a tall building, facing south and opening the window, Yang Can enters the human body from the skin with the light.

Third, at sunrise, face the east and take a deep breath. Yang Can enters the human body through nostrils and skin (pores).

Fourth, sunny days, blue sky and white clouds, stand in the wilderness and take a deep breath. Yang Can enters the human body through his nose and mouth.

In short, we should go to places with high weather, good sunshine, south, east, more sunshine and high convexity to collect the sun.
