What is the connection between spring birth, summer growth, fall harvest and winter storage and natural changes as suggested by traditional Chinese medicine in the past?
Life between heaven and earth, the universe, all life activities are closely related to nature, closely linked, all changes in nature will affect the human organ life activities. (Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine) of the various expositions of man and nature as a unified whole, that is, (heaven has changed, people have to respond.) This, of course, includes the connection between natural changes and (nourishing the spirit). In the (Su Wen, the four gas regulating the divine theory) in the health club for the specific description of the health club.
Spring in March, this is called hair Chen, heaven and earth are born, everything to glory, night lying early, wide walk in the court, was hair slow shape, to make Zhisheng, born and do not kill, give things do not take, reward and do not punish, this spring gas should be, the way of life also. Against the injury to the liver, summer for the cold change, Feng long less.
Summer in March, this is called Fan Xiu, heaven and earth gas exchange, everything is real, night lying early, no boredom in the day, so that the will not anger, so that Huaying into the show, so that the gas can be leaked, if I have to go out, the summer gas should be, the way of life. Against it is sad, fall for malaria, Feng harvest less, winter solstice serious disease.
Autumn in March, this is called Rongping, the weather to rush, the earth's gas to the bright, early bed and early rise, and the chicken with the Xing, so that the Zhi tranquility, to slow down the punishment of the autumn, convergence of the spirit, so that the autumn Qi Ping, no outside its will, so that the lungs are clear, this should be in the autumn gas, and the way to maintain the harvest. Against it will hurt the lungs, winter for the supper, FengZhou less.
Winter March, this is closed. Water ice ground, do not disturb the Yang, lying down early and getting up late, must wait for daylight, so that the Zhi if the ambush if hiding, if there is a private intention, if there has been gained, remove the cold on the temperature, no leakage of the skin, so that the gas is extremely robbed. This winter gas should be, the way to raise Tibetan also, against the injury to the kidney, spring for impotence, Feng Sheng less.
According to the above passage, we can roughly understand that the four seasons of spring, summer, fall and winter are not the same point of nourishing the spirit, spring is the way to nourish (birth), summer is the way to nourish (growth), fall is the way to nourish (harvest), winter is the way to nourish (hide). Specifically, how should spring grow, summer grow, fall harvest, and winter hide throughout the year? .......
The process of spring germination, summer growth, fall harvest and winter storage of plants is used to explain the process of human health at different times. With the natural change and development process, to illustrate that human beings have to comply with the laws of nature, if the law of natural development against the law, it will be very easy to disease. The climatic environment of different seasons has different effects on the human body.
These are the ecological properties of all things that have been summarized by the natives during their long natural life, but this is only evident in the regions with four distinct seasons.
Chinese medicine is spring liver, summer heart, long summer spleen and stomach, autumn lung, winter kidney. What you are talking about is the four seasons of the growth of all things in the present, that is, the signs of nature, on the headline speech babbling is to be eaten, half a bottle of dissatisfaction, a bottle of wobbling interesting?
This is based on the changes in nature scientifically summarized rules of human health, human beings follow these rules of life, life health, psychological detachment are beneficial.
What is the connection between spring birth, summer growth, fall harvest and winter storage and natural changes as suggested by traditional Chinese medicine in the past?
Chinese medicine has a history of 5,000 years and is indeed too old.
Our ancestors discovered that there are four seasons in a year, the reciprocal cycle, the four seasons have the laws and characteristics of the four seasons, so the Nei Jing four seasons to adjust the god of the great theory, is the four seasons of people's physiological changes, people should be how to adapt to the four seasons of the seasonal changes in climate, we live on the earth, we have to follow the laws of the earth, if we go against the laws of the earth, it is to be eliminated by the earth, so the laws of the earth what is it? It is the cycle of the seasons throughout the year.
The Earth rotates once a year and rotates once a day. There are four seasons in a year, spring, summer, fall and winter.
The day is divided into four hours, morning, noon, evening, and late at night.

I. Characterization of climate change in the four seasons.
In the four seasons of the year, spring yang qi rises, everything grows, the climate is warm and windy, summer yang qi rumbles, everything grows to its limit, the climate is hot, hot, and the three ambrosia days are humid and hot. In the fall the yang qi descends or harvests, everything fruits and leaves fall, the climate is cool, the climate is dry, and in the winter the yang qi converges and hides, everything withers, the climate is cold. Inside yet lies the growth of the next year.
This is the law of the earth, the law of all growth, spring rises, summer grows, fall harvests, winter hides.
Day by day, it is also carried out, rise, growth, harvest, hide, morning as the spring Lord rise, noon as the summer Lord growth, evening as the autumn Lord harvest, late at night as the winter Lord hide, who do not believe in this law, you try to reverse this law, to see whether in the end it is the earth out of you, or you can transcend this law and survive alone. For example, if you wear cotton clothes in summer and pants and undershirts in winter, you work at night and sleep during the day. For example, if you work at night and sleep during the day, try reversing it.
The climate of the four seasons is characterized by spring wind, summer fire, heat, summer humidity, autumn dryness and winter cold. These wind, cold, summer, humidity, dryness, and fire are normal climates, so they are called the six qi, but these six qi cause disease and are called the six obscenities.
Spring is windy, the wind has a light and open, the characteristics of good movement does not live, the main gas for the spring wind wind gale, gale, breeze, southeast and northwest wind, all seasons of the year, so the summary of the wind nature of the good line and the number of changes in the wind nature of the light, the wind is winning the movement for the longest of all diseases.
- Winter is cold, winter is freezing, the river freezes, the earth is frozen and cracked, heat expansion and cold contraction Oh, so the cold evil to cold, stagnation, collection of lead as the basic characteristics of the
- Summer is hot, hot people don't want, summer for the transformation of fire, the main ascension and dispersion, and more hostage to the dampness!
- Long summer, that is, three volts day, the body sticky, and hot and sticky, wet and water nature is the same, just thicker than water, we want to think about paste, so the characteristics of water is to the low flow, coupled with the viscosity, so the wet has a heavy turbid, sticky, tends to the lower characteristics of the main gas for the long summer!
- Dry has a dry, astringent and purging characteristics, so dry win is dry and easy to consume fluid. Easy to injure the lungs, the main gas for the fall.
- Fire has the characteristic of heat, exuberant in the summer heat can generate wind, wind and help the fire, fire has burnt burnt, inflammation, exhaustion of gas and injury to fluids, wind and blood and other characteristics.

Second, the relationship between the human body and the five elements of the seasons.
The relationship between the five elements and the five organs of the four seasons and the six sexual elements
The five elements are gold, wood, water, fire and earth.
The five elements are born from each other: gold begets water, water begets wood, wood begets fire, fire begets earth, and earth begets gold.
The five elements are mutually exclusive: gold over wood, wood over earth, earth over water, water over fire, and fire over gold.
Gold is said to be derived from Ge to mean downward, astringent.
Wood is said to be curved and straight which is derived as growth and can be stretched and curved.
Water is said to be moist downward derived as downward, moist, and astringent.
Fire is said to be inflamed upward derived as upward, hot.
The earth is said to gather in harvest, which is extended to carry things and produce them.
The five elements of the liver dominate wood, the six qi dominate wind, and the four seasons dominate spring, morning, and ascension.
The five elements of the heart dominate fire, the six qi dominate fire, the four seasons dominate summer, noon, and growth.
The five elements of the lungs dominate gold, the six qi dominate dryness, and the four seasons dominate fall, evening, and harvest.
The five elements of the kidneys dominate water, the six qi dominate cold, the four seasons dominate winter, late night, and the main hide.
The Spleen is the master of earth in the five elements, the master of dampness in the six qi, the master of long summer in the four seasons, and the master of transformation.

Third, the untold secrets of Chinese medicine
This law of the earth, is the central idea of Chinese medicine, is also the secret of Chinese medicine, but there are a lot of people do not understand, the Qing Dynasty Huang Yuanwu, the four saints of the heart source of celestial solution to the law of the law is very thorough!For example, the medicinal properties of cold, hot, warm, cool, medicinal gas has ascending, descending, floating, sinking, and five flavors, sour, bitter, sweet, pungent, salty. The pulse is floating, sinking, late, and counting, and the way the qi runs in the body is ascending, descending, exiting, and entering, and the four viscera in the body are matched with the four seasons, such as the liver in the spring, the heart in the summer, the lungs in the fall, the kidneys in the winter, and the spleen in the earth, which makes up the total number of the five viscera. There are twelve months in a year, twelve hours in a day, now changed to twenty-four hours, the body has twelve meridians and so on.
That is to say, when Chinese medicine treats a disease, the first thing to do is to analyze the disease, whether it is to analyze the deficiency of the qi and blood in the patient's body, the actuality of the qi and blood, cold, heat or qi and blood ascending, descending, outgoing, incoming, and that part of the link has a problem, and then according to the problematic part of the matching of adapted medicines, for example, wind-cold cold, or the traditional Chinese medicine known as the sun typhoid fever, the symptom of which is a headache, body aches, malignant cold, nasal blockage, or running thin nose, or coughing, with a thin white coating of the tongue and a tight and floating pulse. The remedy is to use Ephedra Soup.

Let's analyze this sun typhoid, or wind-cold cold, headache, body pain, cold, which is subject to wind-cold meridians of yang qi and wind-cold fighting, meridians do not pass the performance of the pain, nasal congestion, or flow of thin nasal mucus, or coughing, wind-cold invasion of the lungs performance, floating tight pulse, wind-cold invasion of the human body's pulse, the pulse is floating is an indication of the disease is shallow in the epidermis, the main wind, the pulse tight pulse is subject to the invasion of the evil of the cold, but also can be illustrated by the disease for the When wind-cold invades the surface of the body, the yang qi in the body will come to the surface to fight with the invading evil, so there will be a floating tight pulse.
We know from the patient's symptoms and pulse that the disease is due to the feeling of wind and cold, the body has sufficient yang qi, which is fighting with the affected evil on the body surface, and the location of the disease is the body surface, which is a solid evidence, so how do we treat it? We have to help the Yang Qi in the body to drive the aggressor out of the body surface, then we have to treat the disease with medicines whose medicinal properties are ascending and floating, and whose five flavors are pungent and warm. Ephedra pungent, warm, the drug can reach the surface of the body gas for floating, for the king, Gui Zhi, pungent, warm, the drug can reach the muscle for rising, for the minister, almonds, bitter, sweet, warm, can lower the lung qi to stop coughing, the opposite of ephedra, for fear of ephedra floating too much for the adjuvant, licorice, sweet and warm, the mediation of drugs, so that the medicinal properties do not go too far, and to protect the spleen and stomach function.
The knowledge of Chinese medicine is there, there are a lot of books, people's understanding of Chinese medicine will also have personal insights, which is benevolent, wise and wise, enlightenment is different, understanding is different, so it will result in the same patient on the body of the disease, looking for Chinese medicine doctors, there will be a wide variety of diagnosis, there will be a wide variety of remedies, so the treatment effect is also a great discrepancy between the effectiveness of some, some are ineffective, but one is the most direct path, it depends on you to find the most direct path to find. All roads lead to Rome, but one is the most direct, depends on you to find the most direct road.

By way of example, Chinese medicine in the theory, method, formula, medicine can not be separated from the rules of the earth, that is, spring rise, summer growth, autumn harvest, winter, the rules of the earth through the Chinese medicine of all where, so is the central idea of Chinese medicine.
The body's qi and blood in the body to follow the law of rise, long, collect, hide, if when the rise, rise not up, when the drop does not go down, then people will be sick, as long as the lift to smooth the disease will be cured.
Without further ado, I'm just a small village doctor, so feel free to chime in if I'm wrong.
Hello, I am Fatty. Spring, summer growth, autumn harvest, winter is the natural changes, I think the questioner should want to ask how these natural changes and the human body is connected to it! Speaking of this question, we should mention the core theory of Chinese medicine, the core theory of Chinese medicine is the unity of man and heaven, the human body is a small universe, then all the changes in this small universe must fit in the universe, with this concept, for the question just now will not be difficult to understand. Let's start today's topic from the core theory of Chinese medicine!
The core theory of Chinese medicine, the unity of heaven and man
The general principle of communication between man and heaven in the system of heaven and earth and man in the Nei Jing is: the same qi seeks the same thing, and the same kind corresponds to the same thing. Conformity is beneficial, while adversity is detrimental. The Huainanzi - Spiritual Discipline says: 'Heaven and earth are in harmony with each other, and all things are totaled into one'.' The term 'transportation and interconnection' refers to the interconnection in the process of movement, rather than the structural connection in static space.' The term 'all things are one' refers to the same qi in the way of movement, not the same amount of material structure.
That is to say, the medical connotation of the unity of man and heaven mainly refers to how man as a 'small universe' corresponds to the big universe of heaven and earth, among which, the homology of man and heaven is the most superficial level of the view of the unity of man and heaven in the "Nei Jing", the homology of man and heaven with the same image and the same kind of image is the concrete embodiment of the thought of Chinese medicine in taking the image of the comparison of analogies, the homology of man and heaven with the same number of man and heaven and the weather and the numerical theory of the correspondence of the weather and the weather.
Man and Heaven
1. The homogenization of man and heaven: The homogenization of man and heaven is the crudest level of the Nei Jing's view of the unity of heaven and man. The Nei Jing believes that the structure of the human body reflects the structure of heaven and earth.
2. Similarity of man and heaven: In ancient Chinese philosophy, heaven and man are always connected with the ancient and the modern, and this phenomenon of mixing natural philosophy with historical philosophy is an important feature of Chinese philosophy. However, the similarity of man and heaven emphasized in the Neijing is not the same as the mysterious induction of heaven and man of Dong Zhongshu's generation. The categorization of the five elements in the Suwen-Jin Gui Zhen Rhetoric and the Suwen-Yin Yang Ying Xiang Da Lun (The Great Treatise on Yin and Yang Appearances) is rooted in the homogeneity of the inner way of movement, state or manifestation of things.
3. Man and Heaven in the same image: traditional culture and Chinese medicine from the concept of 'unity of man and heaven' are manifested in the emphasis on the Tao, God, nothing, harmony and potential, the core of which is the 'image' and 'number', and ignorance of the 'image and number' implies ignorance of the Chinese civilization, and even more so, the inability to comprehensively understand and interpret the Chinese medicine. The so-called 'Xiang' refers to the visualization and systematization of experience.' Elephant' is characterized as dynamic, not simply imitating its shape, but imitating its changes. The elephant is also holographic; everything is related to everything else. As far as the Nei Jing is concerned, the Zangxiang system is the theory that illustrates the interconnections and laws of interaction among the five zangs and with other modes of life activity through the changes of the images of life activity and the method of taking images and comparing them to each other.
4. Man and Heaven have the same number: the relationship between image and number is just as the Zuo Zhuan says: 'When things are born, there is an image; when there is an image, there is a nuisance; when there is a nuisance, there is a number.' The Nei Jing believes that the movement of life is the same as nature, with reason, image and number. By taking images and comparing them, we can know the qi movement and number theory. The Su Wen - Six Sections of the Treatise on Hidden Elephants first discusses numerology, and then discusses hidden elephants, in which the deeper meaning lies.' Number' is the relativization of images and symbols, as well as their arrangement, application and pragmatization in spatial and temporal locations. It differs from Western mathematical concepts in that instead of describing spatial forms and quantitative relationships, it describes temporal patterns and movement relationships by taking images and comparing them to analogies.
Through the above, we can understand that the theory of Chinese medicine in the past is that the human body is completely in tune with the universe of heaven and earth, and any changes in nature, such as wind, snow, rain, thunder, etc. will be reflected in the human body accordingly. In this case we know, the natural world of spring, summer growth, autumn harvest, winter and other natural changes are bound to be a corresponding change in the human body, then in this period of change in accordance with nature will play a healthy purpose.
These are Fatty's answers to this question, I hope my answers can help you, thanks for reading.


We should draw according to the seasons and make it in the right time; we should follow the nature and live according to our own destiny.
The five elements to the right, step rhythmic music; coarse and refined combination, mixed grains and cereals.
The birth of the collection, and Jing know enough; yin and yang time and day, blood and body Chu.
Chinese medicine has the theory, put away the intention to bless; Qiankun nature, the mystery of many.

Chinese medicine, spring birth, summer growth, autumn harvest, winter storage is the most important guiding ideology in Chinese medicine health care, comply with the natural pattern of change of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and comply with the laws of nature will be less disease, prevention of disease!
"Taiji gives birth to the two yi, and the two yi give birth to the four elephants". Taiji generates yin and yang to form heaven and earth, yang gas (clear gas) rises to heaven, and yin gas (turbid gas) descends to earth, and the intersection of yin and yang generates yuan qi to cope with spring, summer, fall, and winter. In nature, everything is born in the spring, grows in the summer, harvests in the fall, and hides in the winter. Everything grows by the sun, and all living things need the sun's warmth to make up for the yang.
Chinese medicine believes that "Heaven and man correspond", people are born between heaven and earth, the essence of its life is the intersection of yin and yang and the formation of the yuan qi, "people fight for a breath of air," a phrase that fully reveals this truth.
Spring is the season of growth, so people's own latent yang by the call of the season and the birth of the return to nature, in order to avoid the birth of yang too much, so there is a "spring cover up", meaning that the spring reduction of clothes do not reduce too fast; summer!the sun shines brightlyThe weather is hotter, so there should be more outdoor sports, spring and summer are full of yang qi season, so it is conducive to people in the spring and summer Yang; autumn yang qi began to return to the human body, in order to facilitate the gradual return of yang qi, so add clothes should be gradually increased according to the seasonal changes, do not increase too early in the morning (autumn freeze); winter is the complete return of yang qi to the human body latent down, this time the world's cold and yin qi in the dominant position, so "autumn and winter yin". Therefore, "autumn and winter to nourish the yin". Since then, the human body, like nature, has completed the natural cycle of spring, summer, fall and winter.
The human body is born of the qi of yin and yang, passes through the four seasons of adolescence (spring birth), youth (summer growth), middle age (autumn harvest), and old age (winter storage), and finally returns its vital energy to nature, so that theLaozi said, "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are taken as ruminants", which is indeed a most sensible saying.
