In the spring of March, this is called "Chen", "Heaven and Earth are born", "Everything is glorious", "Lying at night and getting up early", striding towards the court and slowly spreading hair, so as to live, give without killing, reward without punishment, which is the answer of spring and the way of health preservation.

-Huangdi Neijing. Su Wen Four-tune "Spirit"

The three months of spring are the season of hair growth, and everything in the world is growing. People can get up early and let their hair hang freely in the morning (the ancients wore it in a bundle), so that they can feel comfortable, happy and relaxed. Walking in the yard at this time will make people feel a heartfelt desire to do things. Spring and March are a relaxed and open season, which should be pleasant and soft both physically and psychologically. In spring, you should let go, don't kill, give, rob, reward and punish. If people can do this, it is the natural gas in spring. This is the way to keep healthy. "

Spring is not the season to eat meat, let alone kill. Many animals give birth and eat in spring; Plants germinate in spring. In order to adapt to the vitality of heaven and earth, China people's tradition has never executed the death penalty in spring, even if it is the most heinous crime, it will have to wait until autumn. Because autumn corresponds to "cold". Violation of the way of heaven and earth, killing in spring, then "killing three thousand enemies, losing eight hundred." When you kill animals, you will also kill your own vitality. Therefore, the diet in spring should be vegetarian and eat less meat.

Spring is coming. According to the theory of five elements in traditional Chinese medicine, spring is the season of growth and development, and the dead wood meets spring, which is the time for the liver and gallbladder to grow. To adapt to the weather, eat more spicy food that stimulates the liver and gallbladder, especially eat more thriving green plants. Spring is especially suitable for eating bean sprouts, leeks, garlic sprouts, spinach, ginger, Toona sinensis, shepherd's purse, coriander and elm. The staple food can be pasta or cereal corresponding to spring, and the seasoning can be cinnamon, Amomum villosum and onion.

Healthy people should avoid eating and drinking sour and cold things in spring, because the taste of acid has inhibitory and astringent effects, which is not conducive to the venting of liver qi. In spring, you should drink some fragrant scented tea, or iron a pot of yellow wine and add some ginger. However, if people with strong virtual fire, people with too much pressure and people who often stay up late, their anger is already very strong. In spring, we should moderately control the growth of liver and gallbladder qi. Instead, you should drink warm sour plum soup occasionally to restrain your liver qi a little, so as not to overdo it.
