Three months in summer is the season of lush vegetation in nature. This season, the weather drops, the atmosphere rises, the atmosphere of heaven and earth blends, plants blossom and bear fruit, and grow vigorously. People should go to bed late and get up early, don't hate the long day, keep happy, don't be angry, and make their faces as beautiful as flowers in bud; It also makes qi-walking freely, energetic and interested in foreign things. These are all ways to adapt to the summer climate and maintain long-term cultivation of qi. If these methods are violated, it will damage the heart, weaken the ability to replenish qi in autumn, lead to malaria in autumn, and get sick when winter comes.
The three months of autumn are the season when everything in nature is mature, calm and convergent. At this time, the weather is urgent and the air is fresh. People should go to bed early and get up early, and get up with crows in the morning. Keep calm to reduce the harm of cold air in autumn to human body; At the same time, we should keep the spirit inside so that the cold air in autumn can be peaceful; Don't let your will run away to keep your lungs clean. These are all ways to adapt to the characteristics of autumn and keep the human body convergent. If these methods are violated, it will damage the heart, weaken the supply capacity of closed gas in winter and lead to diarrhea in winter.
The three months of winter are the season when vitality lurks and everything hides. At this time, the water turned into ice and the ground cracked. People should not disturb the yang in their bodies. They should go to bed early and get up late until the sun comes out. Don't worry about things, let your thoughts and emotions be calm and secret, as if you have gained something without showing your emotions; Avoid cold, tend to be warm, and don't make your skin sweat and lose yang. This is a way to adapt to the winter climate and keep the human body closed. If these methods are violated, the kidney will fail, which will weaken the qi-supplementing ability of spring hair growth and lead to paralysis in spring.
The weather is clear and cloudless. Because Tiande is hidden and runs endlessly, it can be kept forever. If the weather is gloomy, the sun and the moon lose light, and evil spirits take advantage of it, causing disasters, leading to the obstruction of yang, the dark and turbid gas obscuring the light, the clouds are full, and the rain and dew do not fall. If the qi of heaven and earth does not blend, the life of all things can not be extended, even the giant trees with strong vitality in nature will die. Evil spirits and surly spirits persist, wind and rain are out of balance, nectar should fall instead of falling, and vegetation will decline if it is not raised. Strong winds frequently strike, heavy rains occur from time to time, and the four seasons of heaven and earth are in disorder, which deviates from the normal law and will lead to the death of everything before half life. Only saints can adapt to the changes of nature and pay attention to health, so the body will not suffer from serious diseases. If everything can adapt to natural changes without losing the way of maintenance, then its vitality will not fail.
If, contrary to the qi in spring, the qi of shaoyang does not grow, it will lead to stagnation of liver qi and produce diseases. If it goes against the summer qi, Sun Qi can't grow, leading to heart failure. If, contrary to the convergence in autumn, the Taiyin qi does not converge, it will lead to dysphoria of lung qi. If it is not conducive to latent qi in winter, the qi with little yin will not be latent, which will lead to the suppression of kidney qi.
The change of yin and yang throughout the year is the foundation of life of all things. Therefore, saints raise yang in spring and summer to meet the needs of growth; Keep Yin Qi in autumn and winter to meet the demand of collection. Only by conforming to the fundamental law of life development can we move and develop together with everything in the four-season cycle of germination, growth, convergence and closure. If you violate this law, it will destroy the essence of the human body and damage the body.
Therefore, the four seasons of Yin and Yang are not only the ultimate starting point for the growth of all things, but also the source of life and death. If you violate it, disaster will happen; Obey it, you won't be seriously ill, and only when you understand this truth can you be familiar with the way of keeping in good health.
For this way of keeping in good health, saints can earnestly pursue it, but fools often violate it. Comply with the changes of yin and yang in the four seasons, you can survive, and if you violate it, you will die. Obey it and the human body will be healthy; If you violate it, you will get sick easily. If adaptation becomes a violation, which violates the changes of yin and yang in the four seasons, the body and the natural environment will be rejected.
Therefore, saints do not advocate treating after illness, but emphasize prevention before illness. Just like dealing with chaos, it is not to deal with it after it happens, but to prevent it before it happens. This is the truth here. If the disease is treated only after it is formed and the trouble occurs, it is like digging a well when you are thirsty and casting weapons when you go to the battlefield. Is it too late?
