The three months of spring are the stage when the vitality of all things is greatly stimulated, and the heavens and the earth begin to flourish again.
Therefore, after the spring, you should go to bed early and get up early, spread your hair, untie your clothes, soothe your body, relax your steps, walk between the courtyards without fatigue, and stretch out your muscles and bones, so that your spirit is happy and your mind is open.
