Today's autumn equinox, the heaven and earth hide the spirit, and it will not "converge" the most hurtful! Learn the rules quickly and spend the autumn

Today ushers in the fourth solar term of autumn - "autumn equinox".

The autumn equinox is exactly half of the 90 days from the beginning of autumn to the fall of frost, and the autumn is evenly divided, when the heat above and below the ground is in a state of equilibrium.

After the autumn equinox, the gold gas decreases, the pressure increases, the yang energy below the ground gradually exceeds that on the ground, the weather is colder day by day, the night is longer than the night, the temperature difference between day and night increases significantly, and gradually enters the late autumn.

The health preservation after this solar term should focus on raising "adoption" and yin.

All emotions, exercise, diet, and clothing related to the rising and dispersing of the sun should be restrained and controlled.

In this special solar term where day and night are equally divided, and yin and yang are half combined, daily life and rest should also conform to the law of sunshine, change the habit of going to bed late and getting up early in summer, restore the parallel rhythm of going to bed early and getting up early, avoid snoozing and sleeping too much to damage people's righteousness, and also avoid staying up late and overdrawing and depleting yin essence.

However, in order to maintain the autumn harvest qi of the lungs, the autumn wake-up time can be slightly later than in the spring and summer seasons.  

The autumn equinox is not very cold, it is the best period for autumn freezing, therefore, do not wear too much and cover too tightly during weekday activities, to prevent thick clothes from covering the body and causing heat and sweating, damaging yin and yang, as long as the waist, abdomen and back are kept warm.

However, after the autumn equinox, the temperature difference between day and night increases, and it is not suitable to sleep on a mattress, and everyone must cover a thin quilt when sleeping at night, especially people with yang deficiency physique should not cover relatively thin things such as towel quilts.
