Relationship between solar terms and death

A large number of research data show that death is also closely related to seasons, which may be mainly due to the temperature difference in different seasons.

Yuan Yin, which is hot in summer and full of yang, is very easy to hurt the body; It is cold in winter and Yin Qi is abundant, which is more likely to damage the human body's Yuanyang. These two seasons are not good for the human body. However, due to China's vast territory and different north and south, it has different performances in different regions.

For example, according to the data analysis of 10 185 death cases investigated in Xi 'an and other places, the onset time and death time are higher in winter, reaching the peak in 65438+ 10, while the fourth kiln is lower in July and relatively higher in August, and the ninth kiln drops again in June.

Xi 'an is located in the northwest of China, and the lowest temperature in June is about 5438+ 10. It is when yin flourishes and yang declines that "man corresponds to heaven and earth" (the spirit pivots evil guests), so the human body is also at the time when yin flourishes and yang declines, which makes the occurrence and death of diseases at the peak.

In July, the climate is mild and people live comfortably, so there are fewer diseases and deaths. August is the highest temperature season in a year, which is not good for human vaginal fluid, so the incidence and death of the disease are relatively high. 9 Yao 65438+ October autumn is crisp, so the occurrence and death of diseases are relatively reduced.

Twenty-four solar terms originated in the Yellow River basin, which is the crystallization of China's ancient wisdom of working and living and long-term experience.

As early as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, China people had the concepts of solar terms solstice in the south and solar terms solstice in the north, and set the solar terms of midsummer, midsummer, midsummer and winter solstice. Subsequently, people continued to improve and perfect according to natural phenomena such as the beginning of the month, the running position in the middle of the month, the weather, and the growth of animals and plants. By the Qin and Han Dynasties, the 24 solar terms had been completely established.
