Explanation of the change of solar terms between yin and yang
At the vernal equinox, the direct point of the sun is just on the equator, and the length of day and night is equal all over the world. After the vernal equinox, the sun moves to the Tropic of Cancer. The days in the northern hemisphere get longer and the nights get shorter, while the days in the southern hemisphere get shorter and the nights get longer, so the vernal equinox in the northern hemisphere is the autumnal equinox in the southern hemisphere.
Therefore, although the date of vernal equinox is equivalent to the date of yin and yang, the growth of yang is bound to make spring more rich and full of vitality. On the other hand, although the potential of Yin is declining, it still has the ability to compete with Yang.
Yang's potential is long, but Yin can still compete. The vernal equinox is between "thunder" and "electricity".
The ancients believed that thunder and lightning was a phenomenon in which yin and yang beat each other and yang was more abundant and vented. After the vernal equinox, the yang between heaven and earth is getting stronger and stronger. It is normal that the yang is qi, qi is thunder, and qi is electricity, and there are more and more lightning phenomena.
However, there are times when heaven and earth are abnormal, such as thunder and vibration in winter, and when the sun should be hidden in winter, it is not good.
Su Shi's poem Snow after the Equinox-
It's about the rare snow scene after the spring equinox in the ugly year-peaches and plums that should be in full bloom, because this "cold spring" is only half open. If you fail to blossom, you will be grateful and you will feel powerless. You are afraid of being recognized by cold-resistant and withered plum blossoms after landing. It is better to fly all over the sky with snowflakes, at least to fill up the spring scenery-catkins. This year, the God of April didn't follow the routine. After the vernal equinox, there even appeared such a snowy day with yin flourishing in yang. You never know, you should take out your clothes to keep warm in the twelfth lunar month.
In fact, the "cold spring" is not completely without warning. The agricultural proverb says that "the former spring is warm, and the latter is cold", that is, the former spring is not cold but warm, and the latter spring is prone to a "cold spring" climate. In fact, the temperature change of yin and yang is not linear, and it is normal to have ups and downs. In the process of heating up in March and April, due to the invasion of cold air, it is normal to cool down frequently. However, the severe "spring cold" is an abnormal phenomenon.
Although from the perspective of equal division of day and night, the vernal equinox is a balance of yin and yang. But nature and people may not be so balanced.
Spring is the season of qi rising, but if people are depressed or lack of exercise for a long time, it will lead to qi stagnation, and if the climate suddenly gets cold, it will also affect the smooth rise of yang.
Today's recommended dietotherapy tea, Ginger Orange Drink, comes from Wei Jia's Tibetan prescription, which can well relieve some symptoms caused by qi stagnation and insufficient hair growth in spring-
1, qi stagnation and excessive phlegm
Long-term stagnation of qi leads to excessive phlegm. Some people feel phlegm in their throats when they are depressed, so they can't spit it out and swallow it. Traditional Chinese medicine is called "Mei He Qi", which means that the liver qi is not comfortable, so that the body fluid is not well distributed and phlegm accumulates in the throat.
Therefore, if you are a person who is prone to depression and has a lot of phlegm, you can try drinking ginger and orange to promote qi and eliminate phlegm. If you have the following symptoms, ginger and orange drinks are more symptomatic.
2, cold hands and feet
Cold hands and feet are not necessarily due to lack of yang, but may also be due to qi stagnation not reaching the limbs smoothly. At this time, come to a cup of ginger and orange drink that can promote qi and help yang, regulate qi and relieve depression and promote yang.
3. Nausea and nausea
When we are angry or depressed, our appetite is poor, and our stomach will swell and we can't eat anything. This is what Chinese medicine calls "liver wood takes spleen soil", and liver qi stagnates and even damages the spleen and stomach. If the mood is a little unstable, there may even be symptoms of nausea and vomiting.
It is also excellent to drink ginger and orange juice at this time. Ginger can stop vomiting and warm the stomach, dried tangerine peel can promote qi and relieve depression, and you can also add some sugar or honey to replenish the spleen with sweet products. When people are in a bad mood, they often like to eat sweets. This is because the human body instinctively resists the disobedience of liver wood by strengthening the spleen.
In addition to diet conditioning, an inexpensive vernal equinox instruction technique has been developed for diseases that are prone to occur in the vernal equinox and solar terms. For example—
Stagnation of qi and blood in chest, shoulders and back meridians (mostly caused by cold pathogen) will not only lead to shoulder and elbow pain, but also cause toothache, head and face swelling, deafness and tinnitus, skin itching and other symptoms.
1. Put your arms out horizontally in front of your chest, palms facing each other, turn your head to the left and look back, inhale at the same time, and put your arms out as far as possible, so that your head and arms struggle back and forth (driving your body to lean forward slightly, making your chest feel squeezed inward), relax and exhale.
2. Turn your head to the right and repeat each action 42 times.
3. After the end, resume sitting up, knock your teeth 36 times, exhale six-character formulas 6 times each, and rinse your mouth 9 times.
This method mainly regulates diseases caused by the damage of chest and back meridians or the accumulation of pathogenic factors, such as toothache, head swelling, body cold, head and face swelling and heat, deafness and tinnitus, pain behind ears, shoulders and back, upper limbs and elbows, skin discomfort caused by wind-cold, dyspnea, skin itching caused by phlegm, etc.
