Traditional Culture Encyclopedia - The 24 Solar Terms - "Xiaoman" raises Yang and hides Yang.

"Xiaoman" raises Yang and hides Yang.

Xiaoman season is characterized by rising yang, but it is far from reaching its peak. At this time, the reaction to the change of yin and yang also varies from person to person. For example, some people who hide the sun well in winter will show that they are not impatient, like to eat warm food without hot images, and can eat warm food; In winter, those who are not good at latent yang will show inner irritability, red face and dizziness, which is the image that yin does not control yang, and floating yang exceeds the outside. Don't eat warm food at this time, but eat Pingliang food. Avoid sour and spicy foods, such as raw onions, leeks, peppers, peppers, eggplant, mushrooms and various seafood.

Prevention before illness.

Xiaoman solar term is at the end of May, and the temperature rises obviously. If you sleep in the cold, it will definitely lead to diseases such as rheumatism and wet skin diseases. In the health care of Xiaoman solar terms, it is especially necessary to put forward the health care viewpoint of "prevention before illness". It is to do all kinds of preventive work before getting sick to prevent the occurrence of diseases. In the aspect of pre-illness health care, it is still emphasized that the holistic view of harmony between man and nature and the pathological view of health care should not be evil.

Chinese medicine believes that the human body is an organic whole, and people are closely related to the external environment. It is pointed out that human beings must master the laws of nature, adapt to the changes of nature, and maintain the coordination of internal and external environment in order to achieve the purpose of disease prevention and health care. Chinese medicine also believes that the occurrence of diseases is related to two factors: healthy qi and evil qi. Pathogenic factors are an important condition leading to diseases, and the lack of healthy qi in human body is the internal cause and foundation of diseases, but it does not deny the leading role of exogenous factors in special circumstances. Therefore, "prevention of disease" should start from two aspects: strengthening the healthy qi of the body and preventing the invasion of diseases and pathogens. Active exercise and reasonable sleep should be combined with diet, and daily activities should be coordinated with the laws of nature. Carry out outdoor activities extensively and seek common interests with all things in nature. Through exercise, let yourself integrate into nature, enrich your healthy body with the yang of exercise, and make people clear their qi, turbid water and diarrhea. In terms of sleep, you should sleep in the dark and get up at dawn; Don't be afraid of the heat during the day. Instead, try to do more outdoor activities, get in touch with the sun, enrich your body, and turn liver-yang into peace. Active exercise is in harmony with summer, and it is also the correct health care method in summer. If you don't exercise and get enough yang in summer, your body will be afraid of cold because there is no heat storage. Your body is yang deficiency in autumn, and it is very easy to get sick in winter.
