The Yellow Emperor's Neijing, Suwen, and Four Tempering Spirits wrote:
Summer and March, this is called Fan Xiu, heaven and earth are angry, all things are gorgeous, lie down at night and get up early, tired of the day, so that there is no anger, so that Huaying becomes a show, so that the anger is vented, if the love is outside, this summer should be, the way to grow up. On the contrary, it is sad, autumn is malaria, there are few recipients, and the winter solstice is seriously ill.
Roughly speaking:
The three months of summer are the season when everything in nature is lush and beautiful. At this time, the weather drops, the earth's qi rises, the heaven and earth intersect, and all kinds of plants grow very luxuriantly, and they have all blossomed and borne fruit. People should go to bed early and wake up early, not be disgusted with long days, keep their emotions happy, and never get angry.
In order for the body to grow well, it is also necessary to dredge the body's qi, for example, perspiration is to dredge the qi. In summer, the weather is hot, and sweating is a good opportunity to dredge the ventilator, so don't hide in the air-conditioned room for a long time to escape the heat, and mobilize the body's yang energy as much as possible in summer, otherwise it will affect the physical condition in autumn and winter.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that summer belongs to fire, and fire is gold, that is, to overcome the lungs. The lungs are the main fur, and the pores of the human body are open in summer, which is the most likely to feel external evils. Eat pungent in summer, nourish the lungs, the pungent taste is divergent, and it can help the lungs to help the lungs, help get rid of the surface evils, and prevent them from staying in the body to make trouble.
Another significant feature of summer is that the spleen and stomach are prone to cold. Because of the heat in summer, the yang energy of the human body is floating on the surface, and the spleen and stomach are relatively cold. At this time, eating some spicy food can be appetizing and can also promote the operation of the spleen and stomach.
In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, summer is the fire in the four seasons, and the fire of the human heart is also the most vigorous, which is the critical period for nourishing the heart and avoiding the internal growth of the heart fire. In the hot weather in summer, people are more likely to be restless, and if they eat high-calorie food, the anger will be greater. Therefore, it is necessary to dredge the body's qi, for example, perspiration is to dredge the qi, so in summer, it is often necessary to drink some tea to reduce the heart.
