Shun is to comply with nature. The human body is a product of nature, and the functional activities of the human body are closely related to the changes in the four seasons of the climate. Only by taking the initiative to adapt to nature can we maintain harmony and unity with nature and ensure the balance and coordination of the internal functional activities of the human body.

The spring temperature is warm and warm, is a less Yang Qi, and the human liver and gallbladder are closely related, Chinese medicine has “where the eleven organs depend on the gallbladder”, it is said that the gallbladder for the less Yang spring gas, spring gas is born, then all the changes are safe.  Spring human Yang Qi, should “sleep at night and get up early, walk widely in the court ……”, if “against the spring, then the less Yang is not born, the liver Qi within the change”, these statements of Chinese medicine, to guide today’s These statements of ancestral medicine still have positive significance in guiding today’s health care.
