The three insects are also transformed by dampness and heat. The damp heat descends from the waterway, and the insects also go, and the taste is too sour for a long time, and the liver qi is Jin, and the liver dares to also, and the organs of anger and blood are also, so the body is light.

"The Evidence of the Scriptures"
Li Weihu said that dogwood and Wu dogwood are not very similar, why do they have the same name? Yu is the only one of its kind, and it is the ear of the same name. Cover to the turn of September and October, Vientiane is sluggish, but three kinds of dogwood (Wu, mountain, food) are tired and fruitful, splendid and considerable, and the three things are the earliest, the harvest is late, all are good things. Zhu Zhe, Dan also. Momentary, good also ("Guangyun" cloud).
I thought it was named, and I didn't allow it! And the dogwood is in the air and dampness, and the dogwood has nothing to do, but the dogwood is both flowering, and then it is not fruitful; The dogwood is both strong, and then it does not grow luxuriant, and it is in a state of parade and falling, so its main disease is in the middle and upper, and in the heart, especially the same. The first is strong in autumn, and its nature is fierce, so it is hard and fierce; Those who are strong in spring have mellow nature, so they are sour and warm. However, it is sour and warm, so the qi is deep and stable and the strength is soft, otherwise there is both evil qi and cold and heat in the heart, and there is cold and dampness in the outside, for example, the things of the world have reached the internal and external cloud disturbances, and how can they be solved in the warmth, and they can understand the internal and external cloud disturbances in the warmth, and they must be the wisdom of dredging, their calm knowledge, the talent of practice, and the people who are generous in their politics.
Therefore, the lord of the dogwood has evil spirits, cold and heat, and cold and dampness in his heart, and the parade does not hinder the capital of the Middle Earth, and according to it, it is the order of its spring and hair, so that it can be discharged with sweat, and it can be discharged with sweat, and it can be passed with the stomach, and it can be passed with the bottom, and it is in the middle of the people, and the people who are closed to the outside are safe and do not move, and they know the so-called evil qi cold and heat and cold and dampness, and they must be the liver to be weak and lose their dredging duties, and the soil is barren and can not carry evil spirits, and the muscles should be obstructed by the cold and dampness. Then it is related to the yin deficiency and the fire floats on the top, and the yang is weak and the water is off the lower two sections. The husband yin takes tranquility as his job, and yang takes the secret as his work, so the "Theory of Vitality through the Heavens" says: "The yin person hides the essence and rises urgently; The yang is the outside, and the guard is solid. "If the yin is not urgent, the fire will be on the top, and the head wind, the wind will come and go, the nose will be congested, the eyes will be yellow, the ears will be deaf, and the face will be blistered; If the yang is not defensive, it urins a lot and sweats. Only the gentle and moist things are in the middle, but also with the sour taste of the trick and receive, the floating in the upper back, off the lower solid, both back and solid, the qi is implicit in the middle, the yin is not strong, the fine is not solid, the yin is strong and refined, the five organs are restless, and the nine orifices are not open and closed!
In short, the length of the dogwood, in the spring and by the summer, autumn and winter, do not vomit or ru, can often maintain its sour and warm smell, often spread its warm education of the clear standard, in the yin can make the yin harmonious and yang is not arrogant, in the yang can make the yang secret and the yin is not consumed, the power of the dogwood is completed here. Or say that the dogwood near the lake is said to be harvested in May, and it is not possible to mud the ancient "Don't Record". From "Don't Record", "Thousand Golden Wings", "Secrets of Outer Taiwan" to "The Book of Pictures", all clouds are collected in September and October, but the "Book of Pictures" contains a cloud in May. Wang Maha Shan Dogwood poems: "Zhu Shi Mountain opens, the fragrance is more cold, fortunately with the osmanthus flowers, the window in front of the autumn moon." "Then it was picked in May, and it was even more so!
