Principles of daily living during rainy season

　　The general principle for getting up in the morning and going to bed at night during the rainy season is: follow the sun. When the sky sleeps, I sleep; when the sky wakes, I wake up. The sun is the origin of life. If you gain Yang, you will live; if you lose Yang, you will die. Popularity rises and falls with the energy of the sun. During the day, when the sun is high in the sky, people's yang energy rises and they are full of energy. ； At night, when the sun is opposite the earth, people's Yang energy is hidden so that cells can recuperate. A person is like a machine. Sleeping at night is like charging, and working and studying during the day is like using electricity. Insufficient charging will lead to disadvantages in using electricity.

　　There is a rhythm in how heaven and earth charge people. This rhythm is divided into four parts, namely spring growth, summer growth, autumn harvest, and winter storage. It's like four major movements going back and forth. Comply with the rules healthy Longevity, otherwise it will destroy your body and mind. A year has four seasons (four seasons), and a day also has four seasons, that is, Beijing time (hereinafter calculated based on this) 3 to 9 o'clock is spring, 9 to 15 o'clock is the beginning of summer, 15 to 21 o'clock is autumn, and 21 to 3 o'clock is winter (time difference is calculated for areas outside Beijing using Beijing time, and local time is used abroad). Spring, summer, autumn, and winter divide the time periods that people should pay attention to during the day. The day-winter period is the best choice for people to "hibernate". During the Qing Dynasty, the royal family stipulated that the emperor and the prince over 5 years old should get up at 3 o'clock in the morning to manage government affairs and study, and they should get up around 19 o'clock. sleep . 3 to 5 o'clock is Yin hour, also known as Pingdan time, that is, Yang Qi has not risen and Yin Qi has not receded. In ancient times, people could only get up early at 3 o'clock and get up late at 5 o'clock. There are 24 solar terms in a year, and there are 24 solar terms in a day, with "Beginning of Spring" at 3 o'clock and "Jingzhe" at 5 o'clock. During the Waking of Insects, the yang energy of the earth’s creatures surges. If a person gets up before this time and moves around, Yang Qi will turn into Qing Qi. If he doesn't get up, Yang Qi will turn into Fire Qi. If you can't wake up at 5 o'clock, then the yin and yang will not be separated at the 6 o'clock vernal equinox, which can easily cause dizziness and weakness in the waist and knees.

　　If you wake up after 3 o'clock, you can continue to sleep, but not after 5 o'clock； If you can't sleep, don't stay in bed. You can get up, drink a cup of hot tea, and do some relaxing exercises indoors. exercise , those who are tired can catch up on a nap after breakfast, but it is not advisable to sleep until 7 o'clock.
