Among them, the second chapter of "Four Qi Regulating the Spirit" describes the rules of keeping in good health at four seasons, which will certainly benefit us a lot as a reference for our daily life. The specific interpretation is as follows;
In the spring of March, this is called hair array, heaven and earth are born, everything is proud, lying at night and getting up early, striding in court, being slowed down to make life. Live without killing, give without taking, reward without punishment, which is the response of spring, and the way of keeping in good health.
Interpretation: In spring, with the loud sound of spring thunder, everything is thriving. At this time, it is advisable to go to bed late and get up early, and the long hair is scattered in the courtyard to promote the will to grow. Stop killing, seizing and cutting, and conform to the image of spring. At this time, if you crave sleep, you will be depressed, such as the so-called spring sleepiness and lack of spring. You should exercise more and go outdoors more.
Xia San month, this is a show. Heaven and earth are in harmony, everything is flashy, lying at night and getting up early, insatiable on the sun, making ambition not to be angry, making Huaying a show, and letting off steam. If you love it outside, this summer should be the way to grow up.
Interpretation: In summer, everything is lush. When the weather is in harmony with the atmosphere, everything will blossom and bear fruit. At this time, we should continue to stay up late and get up early. Don't be afraid of sunbathing and getting angry, so that the qi in the body can be fully vented to the outside, and don't be afraid of sweating, just like being loved outside.
In autumn and March, this is called tolerance. The weather is urgent, the atmosphere is bright, you lie down early and get up early, and you are happy with the chickens, so that you can calm your mind, slow down the punishment in autumn, converge your attitude, make the autumn air calm, and make your lungs clear. This autumn air should be the way to raise your income.
Interpretation: In autumn, everything is calm and peaceful. At this time, the weather began to turn sharply, and the local atmosphere gradually became clear, and everything began to kill. At this time, it is advisable to go to bed early and get up early, get enough sleep, so as to make the mind peaceful, ease the cold air in autumn, and keep the lungs clear. This is the way to converge with the autumn air.
In winter and March, this is a closed Tibet. Water and ice lie on the ground, don't disturb the sun, lie down early and get up late, and wait for the sun, so that if you have private intentions, if you have them, you will be warm when you get rid of the cold, without leaking your skin, which will make you extremely angry. This way of nourishing Tibet in winter is also;
Interpretation: Winter, the season of hiding. The water is frozen and cracked. At this time, it is not appropriate to disturb the yang. You should go to bed early and get up late, and it is appropriate to get up after the sun comes out. Make your will hide, and if you have private interests and gains, pay attention to avoid the cold and keep warm, and don't sweat, so that the energy in your body will leak out. This is the way to keep Tibet in line with winter.
To sum up, we human beings should germinate in spring like plants in nature, bloom in summer, blossom in autumn, and collect seeds in winter for next year's growth and collection. This reflects the concept that Chinese medicine refers to the correspondence between man and nature. After all, human beings live in the same natural environment as animals and plants.
