Autumn and winter are the times when yin flourishes and yang declines.

At this time, it is necessary to prevent freezing and moisten dryness, and it is necessary to warm it when it is cold.

Nourish the yang of the human body,

That is, "nourishing yang" is the main thing.

However, Huangdi Neijing also put forward that

To "nourish yin" in autumn and winter,

Isn't that contradictory?

The theory of "nourishing yin in autumn and winter" comes from Huangdi Neijing Su Wen Si Qi Tiao Shen.

It is accompanied by "nourishing yang in spring and summer". This article puts forward:

"Yin and Yang four seasons, the root of all things. Therefore, nourishing yang in spring and summer and nourishing yin in autumn and winter can follow its roots, so it rises and falls with everything in the door of growth. If you go against its roots, you will chop its roots and destroy its truth. "

This article puts forward two main points of keeping in good health:

First, the "four seasons of yin and yang" is the foundation of the existence of all things and can only be irreversible.

Second, it is necessary to "nourish yang" in spring and summer and "nourish yin" in autumn and winter, and its purpose is also to obey the "root" of everything.

Obviously, Huangdi Neijing holds that "nourishing yang in spring and summer and nourishing yin in autumn and winter" does not violate the way of timely health preservation.
