The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine mentions many times that there are four seasons and five elements in the sky. Nature has four seasons and five elements, and the laws of movement in the natural world of growth and collection give everything a different stage of life. Why is it called “five elements”? “Xing” means to run, to move. In Chinese medicine, the five elements refer to the invisible and untouchable five modes of movement of qi. In the “Treatise on Typhoid”, it is said that the heaven spreads the five elements to transport all kinds of things. What is the invisible qi? The invisible qi is felt through the visible changes in nature. In spring, the nutrients of plants are transported and filled to the roots and the end of branches, which is a kind of spreading qi that governs the growth of plants. In the summer, plants reserve their energy in the spring for the growth of their roots and branches, and in the summer, the ground part starts to grow. The upward movement of qi governs the movement of nature, and since fire extends upward, the ancients borrowed the word “fire” to represent the rising qi of summer. In late spring and early summer, the plants and animals in nature are particularly active, making friends, having dates, building nests, and starting families. In autumn, nature’s qi is an inward movement. The climate is cooler, the leaves fall, the roots of trees dry up, and the branches dry up. Animals are in a state of growth, desperately eating and fattening up to accumulate nutrients in preparation for winter. The ancients observed these phenomena in autumn and used the character “Jin” to indicate the internal movement of Qi. In winter, the climate is cold, and everything is deeply hidden. The seeds are buried in the soil or in the thick seed shell, and the small buds of the leaves are hidden in the bud cells, which will be frozen to death once they are exposed. Hibernating animals hide in caves or deep underground. The ancients observed that the growth state of plants and animals in winter is dominated by the downward and submerged movement of nature and the life activities of all things, and used “water” to represent the downward movement of Qi. At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, there is a smooth transition. This season is not as spacious as spring, not as hot as summer, not as refreshing as autumn, not as cold as winter. It is a transition from Yang to Yin. At this time, plants have already blossomed and borne fruit, and fruits are growing; animals are pregnant and fetuses are being conceived. The natural world is in a fairly balanced process of nurturing the next generation. At this time, the rising and falling of Qi are relatively balanced, and the spreading and closing of Qi are relatively balanced, and the Qi in nature is in a relatively stable balance. The ancient people used the word “earth” to represent the movement of qi. In this spring, the energy of spring is already in the air, on the earth, in the branches of trees, on the water, in the sun and shadows, and in the smell of wind. …… Do you see it? Can you smell it? Can you feel it? The energy of spring is hidden in nature, and the scent of spring is everywhere. Take advantage of the rising of Yang energy and the budding of everything to regulate the human body’s small universe, so that the spring Yang energy can be declared and give yourself a good start, so that you can reserve the full power of growth for the blooming of summer and the harvest of autumn!
