The word "winter" is mostly used in modern Chinese to indicate the "winter" in the four seasons of the year.
It is also said in the "Explanation of Words and Words": "Winter, four hours are exhausted." This means that "winter" is the last of the four seasons of the year. But this is already its borrowing. The original meaning of "winter" should be "end", that is, the meaning of "end".
According to the characteristics and rhythm of the four seasons, the ancients summed up the health care method of the unity of nature and man and going with the flow: spring * birth, summer * long, autumn * harvest, winter * Hidden.
