I. Introduction.
As a treasure of Chinese medicine, the Yellow Emperor's Neijing reveals the close connection between the climate of the four seasons and human health. This article will focus on "those who are in spring, and the disease is at the head; Those who are in summer are sick in the organs; Those who are in autumn are sick on the shoulders and backs; Winter weather, illness in the limbs" and other discourses, leading us to explore the wisdom of the ancients while providing health guidance for modern life.
2. The relationship between the climate of the four seasons and human health.
1) Spring climate and head disease.
In spring, everything revives and yang energy rises. However, this season has a lot of climate change and a large temperature difference, which can easily lead to poor flow of human qi and blood. As a place where the body's yang energy gathers, the head is easily affected by the spring climate, causing symptoms such as headache and dizziness. Therefore, in spring, we should pay attention to the warmth and massage of the head to promote the smooth flow of qi and blood and prevent the occurrence of head diseases.
b) Summer climate and visceral diseases.
The summer is hot, and the burden on the internal organs of the human body increases. High temperature weather can easily cause excessive sweating of the human body, deplete the yin fluid in the body, and then affect the normal operation of internal organ function. Therefore, in summer, we should pay attention to heat stroke prevention and cooling, and replenish water in time to reduce the burden on internal organs. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the light and easy digestion of the diet, and avoid irritation of the internal organs caused by too greasy and spicy food.
3) Autumn climate and shoulder and back diseases.
In autumn, the climate is dry, and the lung qi is constricted. However, this season is also a time of high incidence of shoulder and back diseases. The dry climate can easily lead to muscle tension and joint stiffness, which in turn can lead to diseases such as frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis. Therefore, in the fall, we should focus on keeping the shoulders and backs warm and exercising to build muscle strength and joint flexibility. At the same time, keeping the indoor air moist can also help relieve shoulder and back discomfort.
4) Winter climate and diseases of the limbs.
Winter is cold, and human limbs are susceptible to cold evil. Cold climates can easily lead to constriction of blood vessels in the limbs and poor blood circulation, which in turn can lead to diseases such as arthritis and muscle pain. Therefore, in winter, we should pay attention to keeping the limbs warm and exercising to promote blood circulation and enhance the resistance of the joints. At the same time, you can also eat some warm foods to keep warm up.
III. Conclusion. Through the in-depth interpretation of the relationship between the four seasons of climate and human health in the Yellow Emperor's Neijing: Jin Kuizhen's Speeches, we have a clearer understanding of the important impact of natural climate on human health. In modern life, we should adapt to the changes of the climate in the four seasons and take corresponding health measures to maintain our health. Whether it's a head massage in spring, a heatstroke prevention and cooling in summer, a shoulder and back exercise in autumn, or a warm limbs in winter, they are all health details that we need to pay attention to in our daily life. Through these efforts, we can better live in harmony with nature and achieve balance and health of body and mind.
