The Solar Terms can speak, and you can learn health preservation by following them.

时令节气会“说话”，遵循它们就能学到养生之道。

The calendar has turned to the Beginning of Spring, and a new year is about to begin.

日历已经翻到了立春，一个新的年份即将开始。

Last year, did you put goji berries in your thermos? Did you learn to do a set of Chinese exercises called Baduanjin? If you don't know about these, you are out of date. So, starting from today, follow us to embark on a very informative journey of health preservation according to the 24 Solar Terms.

去年，你是否往保温杯里放了枸杞？是否学过一套叫“八段锦”的中国传统健身操？如果这些你都不了解，那你可就落伍了。从今天起，跟随我们一起开启一段非常有料的二十四节气养生之旅吧！

As the first of the 24 Solar Terms, the Chinese usually "bite the spring" on the Beginning of Spring. "Bite the spring"? Does it mean that the Chinese even eat in spring? Of course not! "Bite the spring" actually refers to enjoying some fresh fruits and vegetables that are in season in spring.

作为二十四节气的第一个，中国人在立春时通常会“咬春”。“咬春”？难道中国人连春天都吃吗？当然不是！“咬春”其实是指品尝一些春天应季的新鲜果蔬。

So, in spring, eat more fresh vegetables. For example, spinach can detoxify and prevent dryness in spring, radish can eliminate stagnation and prevent colds, leek can strengthen the stomach, refresh the mind, and strengthen the kidneys. This is also a reflection of Confucius's advocacy in "The Analects" of "eating according to the season."

因此，春天要多吃新鲜蔬菜。例如，菠菜可以清热解毒、防止春燥；萝卜可以消积滞、防感冒；韭菜可以健胃提神、强肾助阳。这也呼应了孔子在《论语》中提倡的“食时”理念。

The "Huangdi Neijing" (The Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor) says, "In the three months of spring, this is the time of growth and renewal."

《黄帝内经》说：“春三月，此为发陈。”

To properly promote the yang energy in spring, nourishing the liver is key. However, don't rush to prepare a big meal to nourish the liver, because the Beginning of Spring is usually around the Spring Festival, and the rich meals on the dining table have already made our liver energy very strong! At this time, there is no need for a big supplement. We just need to maintain the balance of liver energy.

为了在春天更好地提升阳气，养肝是关键。然而，不要急于准备大餐来滋补肝脏，因为立春通常在春节前后，节日餐桌上的丰盛美食已经让肝气很旺盛了！此时无需过度进补，只需保持肝气的平衡即可。

Beyond diet, spring is also a time to care for your energy flow. Combing your hairs 100 to 200 times every morning can improve circulation, release tension, and invigorate your body.

除了饮食养生，春天也是关注能量流动的时节。每天早晨梳头100到200次，可以促进血液循环，舒缓压力，并为身体注入活力。

The Chinese follow the natural solar terms and have developed a unique and wise way of health preservation. It's really cool!

中国人顺应自然节气，发展出了一套独特且智慧的养生方式。这真是太酷了！
