The Four Qi Tuning Shen Da Lun” said: “In March of summer, this is called the summer show; heaven and earth, all things are in full bloom”. Summer March refers to the period from the beginning of summer to the beginning of autumn, including the summer, small full, busy seeds, summer solstice, summer heat, the Department of six festivals. This season is conducive to the physiological activities of the heart, so people should follow the season when it intersects with the festival. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the special care of the heart in the whole summer health care. The medical source of flow said: “The heart is the master of the whole body, all the organs and bones are under the command of the heart, so it is the monarch. The heart contains the gods, so it is used for the gods.” In Chinese medical literature the heart is explained as the heart of flesh and blood and the heart of the gods. The heart of flesh and blood refers to the substantial heart; the heart of the gods, refers to the function of receiving and reflecting things from the outside world and carrying out activities such as consciousness, thinking, and emotion. Introduction to Medicine” said: “The heart of flesh and blood is shaped like an unopened lotus flower, living under the lungs and on the liver is also. The heart of the gods …… dominates all things, and the spirit of emptiness is not unknown.” The physiological functions of the heart: master of the blood and master of the mind. The heart’s main blood vessels include both the main blood and the main veins. The blood refers to the blood, and the veins refer to the vasculature, also known as the meridians, which are the channels through which the blood runs. The heart and veins are connected to form a closed system and become the hub of blood circulation. The heart keeps beating, pushing the blood in the whole body in the veins circulate endlessly, circumferential flow, become the power of blood circulation. The nutrients carried by the blood can feed the whole body so that the organs, limbs and bones, muscles and skin, as well as the whole body are nourished to maintain its normal physiological function. If the heart functions normally, the pulse is gentle and strong, even rhythm, and the face is rosy and lustrous; if the heart is diseased, there will be poor blood flow, the pulse is empty and the face is colorless, the pulse is weak and feeble, the qi and blood are stagnant, the blood vessels are blocked and the lips and tongue are blue, the precordial area is stuffy and tingling, and the pulse is knotted, substituted, or promoted and astringent. The main Shen Zhi, both the heart is the master of Shen Ming, there is called the heart hide Shen. The so-called Shen, Chinese medicine has a broad and narrow definition of it. The broad sense of Shen refers to the external manifestation of the life activities of the whole human body, which covers the image of the human body, facial color, eyes, speech, response, physical activities of the posture, etc.; while the narrow sense of Shen, that is, the mind is the master of the spirit, consciousness, thinking activities, etc.. The formation of God is considered in the Tibetan science that the essence is the material basis for the composition of the human body and the maintenance of the organism’s life activities, and it is also the material basis for the production of God. God is born from the innate essence, and when the embryo is formed, the God of life is also created. In the process of human growth and development, God depends on the enrichment of the essence of water and grain in the latter part of the body, as stated in “Ling Shu? As stated in the “Ping Ren Jie Gu”: “God is the essence of water and grain.” The physiological function of the heart, which is the master of the mind, also contains two aspects. First, under normal circumstances, the heart of the gods accepts and reflects objective external things and carries out spiritual, consciousness and thinking activities; second, the heart of the gods is the master of the body’s life activities, taking the primary position in the internal organs, the five organs and six internal organs are under the unified command of the heart, in order to carry out unified and coordinated normal activities. The physiological characteristics of the heart are as follows: First, the heart is the Yang organ and the master of Yang energy. That is, the heart for the sun in the Yang, the heart of the Yang can promote blood circulation, to maintain human life activities, so that the vitality of the endless, so the metaphor for the person of the “day”. Medicine is really easy” said: “cover man and heaven and earth together, the sky has the day, man also has the day, the sun of the gentleman father, the day also”. The Yang heat of the heart not only maintains its own physiological functions, but also has a warming effect on the whole body. “The heart is a fire organ that shines on all things,” so the spleen and stomach, the warmth and transpiration of the Yang, as well as the whole body’s water metabolism, the regulation of sweat, etc., are inseparable from the important role of the heart Yang; secondly, the heart and the summer gas should be connected. That is, people and nature is a unified whole, the natural world of the four yin and Yang changes, and the five organs of the human body functional activities are interrelated, mutual response. The heart is connected to the summer qi, which means that the heart yang is most vigorous and strongest in summer. The summer season is often thin clothing, even if the healthy people should be careful not to feel outside, once the disease should not easily use the sweating agent, so as not to sweat a lot of sad. The elderly should pay more attention to avoid stagnation of Qi and blood to prevent heart attacks.
