The phrase "Yang in spring and summer, and Yin in autumn and winter" comes from the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing, Suwen, and Four Qi Regulating Divine Treatises", which means that spring and summer are the seasons for the growth of all things, and at this time, raising yang can promote the rise and growth of yang energy;Autumn and winter are the seasons when everything withers, and at this time, raising yin can protect the collection and storage of yin essence.
Specifically, in spring and summer, we should focus on yang cultivation to conform to the rise and growth of yang energy in nature. In spring, Yang Yang can promote the liver's excretory function and smooth the flow of qi and bloodIn summer, Yang Yang can promote the physiological functions of the heart and make the heart qi sufficient. At the same time, in spring and summer, it is also necessary to pay attention to the protection of yin essence to avoid excessive consumption of physical strength and lead to loss of yin essence.
In autumn and winter, we should pay attention to the cultivation of yin, so as to conform to the collection and storage of yin qi in nature. In autumn, nourishing yin can promote the astringent function of the lungs, so that the lungs are full of qi;In winter, nourishing yin can promote the sealing function of the kidneys, so that the kidney qi is sufficient. At the same time, in autumn and winter, it is also necessary to pay attention to avoid excessive consumption of spicy and greasy food, so as not to deplete the yin essence.
In short, "Yang in spring and summer, Yin in autumn and winter" is a health regimen that conforms to the laws of nature, which can help us maintain the balance of yin and yang in our body and promote health and longevity.
