The three months in autumn are the so-called days when everything is mature and stable after a bumper harvest. At this time, the autumn is crisp and the air is fresh and bright, so you should go to bed early and get up early when you hear the cock crow, so that your mind can be restrained peacefully to relieve the chill of autumn. Keep your inner peace from exposure, keep your inner peace in line with the peaceful spirit of autumn, keep your inner peace from leaking, and make your lungs fresh. This is an adaptation to the autumn atmosphere and conforms to the adoption principle. If this law is violated, the lungs will be damaged, and diseases such as indigestion and diarrhea will appear in winter, and the storage of gas in winter will be less supportive.
