2025-01-22

Spring rain startles the clear valley sky, summer is full of radiance, summer and summer are connected, autumn is dew, autumn is cold and frost falls, winter snow and snow, winter is small and cold. From the sprouting of spring to the warmth of summer, from the abundance of autumn to the depth of winter, this year, in the series of reports on "Traditional Chinese Medicine Health Preservation Methods in the 24 Solar Terms", we have followed the footsteps of the 24 solar terms with readers and experienced the cycle of the four seasons. Throughout the year, there are twenty-four solar terms, seventy-two solar terms, and the sequence of spring and autumn, creating a never-ending cycle of life. The 24 solar terms after years of washing and aging are not only the unique time knowledge system of Chinese people, but also a poetic and healthy lifestyle. The way of health preservation in the 24 solar terms contains the code of health. Spring birth, summer growth, autumn harvest, and winter storage are not only natural laws, but also important guidelines for human health. The classic Chinese medicine text "Huangdi Neijing" points out that "human beings are in harmony with heaven and earth, corresponding to the sun and moon." Our ancestors have long recognized that humans are a part of nature, and they are influenced by the changes in the four seasons of nature between heaven and earth. Adapting to the changes in the four seasons and solar terms of nature can lead to good health, otherwise it may have adverse effects on health. Living according to the solar terms makes it easier to develop a healthy lifestyle. The human fireworks in the 24 solar terms convey the scent of home. From spring pancakes at the beginning of spring to fragrant Chinese toon in Guyu, from cherries at the beginning of summer to longan in Bailu... These seasonal delicacies are not only a pleasure for the taste buds, but also convey the warmth of home and the atmosphere of life, allowing people to feel the truth and beauty of life in food. Chinese traditional diet emphasizes "eating at the right time", and advocates selecting ingredients according to the seasons and seasons, which reflects the Chinese people's reverence and respect for nature, and is also very consistent with the Chinese medicine regimen. The aesthetic of life in the 24 solar terms embodies Chinese wisdom. The flourishing and withering of plants and trees, the migration and hiding of birds and animals, and the seasonal changes of rain, dew, frost, and snow are all within the 24 solar terms. Reflecting the laws of natural changes with 24 specific seasons is a romance exclusively for Chinese people. It carves intangible time into poetic days. The seasonal changes, the four seasons are orderly, and there is great beauty in heaven and earth. Our ancestors extracted profound reflections on life from observing nature - respecting nature, revering life, following the Tao and nature, and the unity of heaven and man. In this fast-paced era, we may need to rediscover the tranquility and wisdom that breathes with heaven and earth, and shares the destiny with all things. Following the 24 solar terms, let us live every ordinary day with flavor and poetic richness. (New Society)
