Huangdi Neijing Health Preservation in Four Seasons

Our country has had some relatively detailed treatment records of traditional Chinese medicine in ancient times. These records can greatly help the spread of medical skills and health care. So how should we take good care of our health all year round? First of all, daily routine is very important. The maintenance of the five internal organs is particularly important to us, and we need to pay attention to it in daily life.

For our body, health care in spring is very important. The intersection of spring and winter can easily cause discomfort in all aspects of the body, so you must pay attention to taking good care of your kidneys in daily life, and male friends need to be more vigilant. It is very necessary to keep healthy at this time.

The three months of spring are called the time of renewal. Heaven and earth are both giving birth, and all things are flourishing. Sleep at night and get up early, walk around the yard, let your hair down and relax your body, so that your spirit can be born. Give life and do not kill, give and do not take away, reward and do not punish. This is the response to the spring energy and the way to preserve health. If it is violated, it will damage the liver, turn into cold in summer, and there will be fewer people respecting the elders.

The three months of summer are called the time of abundance and beauty. The Qi of heaven and earth interact, and all things blossom and bear fruit. Sleep at night and get up early, and do not get tired of the day. This will keep your mind calm and allow the flowers and fruits to blossom, and allow the qi to be released. If what you love is outside, this is the response of the summer qi, and it is the way to nourish and grow. If it is violated, it will hurt the heart, cause malaria in autumn, and few people will recover, and cause serious illness in winter.

The third month of autumn is called Rongping. The weather is urgent, and the ground is bright. You should go to bed early and get up early, and wake up with the cock. This will calm your mind and ease the punishment of autumn. You can restrain your spirit and make the autumn air flat. You should not let your mind wander and clear the lungs. This is the response to the autumn air and the way to nourish and store. If it is violated, it will damage the lungs, causing diarrhea in winter and less storage.

The three months of winter are called the period of hibernation. The water is frozen and the ground is cracked. Do not disturb the yang. Go to bed early and get up late, and wait for the daylight. Keep your mind hidden, as if you have some private thoughts or have achieved something. Get rid of the cold and seek warmth. Do not expose your skin or else your qi will be deprived. This is the response of the winter qi and the way to nourish and store. If it is violated, it will damage the kidneys, causing paralysis and coldness in spring, and few people will be able to give birth.

The weather is pure and bright, and its virtues are endless, so it never rains. When the sky is bright, the sun and the moon are not clear, evil spirits harm the empty holes, the yang energy is blocked, the earth energy is exposed to the light, and the clouds and fog are not clear, then the white dew will not fall. If communication is not expressed, the lives of all things will not be fulfilled. If life is not fulfilled, many famous trees will die. If the evil air does not come out, the wind and rain are not regular, and the white dew does not fall, then the plants will wither and not flourish. Thieves' winds come frequently, torrential rains arise frequently, the four seasons of heaven and earth are no longer in harmony, and the Tao is lost, then there will be no end to the world. Only the wise men follow it, so they have no strange diseases, all things are not lost, and their vitality is inexhaustible. If the spring Qi is violated, Shaoyang will not grow and the liver Qi will change internally. If the summer qi goes against the flow, the sun will not grow and the heart qi will be hollow. If the autumn qi is violated, Taiyin will not be contracted and the lung qi will become scorched and full. If the winter Qi is violated, Shaoyin will not be stored and the kidney Qi will be alone. The yin and yang of the four seasons are the root of all things. Therefore, the wise men nourish yang in spring and summer and nourish yin in autumn and winter, in order to follow their roots, and thus they rise and fall with all things at the gate of growth. If you go against its roots, you will cut off its roots and destroy its true nature.

We are more or less familiar with some introductions to health preservation in the four seasons, so the seemingly simple health preservation in the daily four seasons actually requires us to pay more attention to our bodies. If your kidneys are weak, you must pay attention to protecting them, especially regular exercise in daily life can effectively alleviate this deficiency.
