Lixia is the seventh of the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar, the first solar term of summer, indicating the official beginning of the midsummer season, when the sun reaches 45 degrees of ecliptic longitude. Dou refers to the southeast, Wei is Lixia, and everything has grown up here, so it is called Lixiaye.
"The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic: The Great Treatise on the Four Qis of The Gods" "Summer march, this is called the show, the heavens and the earth are intertwined, all things are real, lying down at night and getting up early, tireless in the sun, making Zhi without anger, making Hua Ying a show, making the anger leak, if the love is outside, this summer qi should be, and the way to raise growth is also." The opposite is sad, autumn is malaria, harvesters are few, and winter solstice is seriously ill."
The three months of summer, known as the show, are the seasons when everything in nature flourishes and is beautiful. At this time, the weather is falling, the earth is rising, the qi of heaven and earth intersects, the plants blossom and fruit, the growth is vigorous, people should sleep at night, get up early, do not dislike the long day, the emotion should remain pleasant, do not get angry, to make the spirit of Yinghua adapt to the summer qi to become its beauty, so that the qi machine is open, free to vent, the spirit is extroverted, and there is a strong interest in external things.
This is the opportunity to damage the heart, so that the conditions provided for the autumn harvest are insufficient, and by the autumn it is prone to malaria and the winter the disease will recur.
After the summer, the temperature began to rise significantly, thunderstorms increased, crops began to grow in the peak season, and everything flourished.

People's yang qi began to gradually flourish, metabolism also began to strengthen, people's mind is easily disturbed, so Lixia began to focus on summer health care in the "heart".

Chinese medicine believes that "summer qi and heart qi are in communication", Lixia health care should pay attention to going to bed early and getting up early, pay attention to "rest", and avoid sweating after exercise, "sweating" out of the yang.

Usually eating more vegetables, fruits and coarse grains can increase the supply of fiber, vitamin B, C, and can play a role in preventing arteriosclerosis. In the morning, you can eat a little onion, and you should drink a small amount of red wine for dinner to smooth the qi and blood.
04, to the spirit of health
Relevant experts on the mainland believe that after the summer festival, the weather becomes hot and the climate becomes hot, and the temperature rises in a straight line, at this time, people's minds are most susceptible to temperature interference, and there is restlessness.
