ABOUT REGULATING THE SPIRIT IN ACCORDANCE WITH QI OF THE FOUR SEASON - WINTER 2 -11-1 The three months of winter, they denote securing and storing. The water is frozen and the earth breaks open. Do not disturb the yang [qi]. Go to rest early and rise late. You must wait for the sun to shine. Let the mind enter a state as if hidden, {as if shut in} As if you had secret intentions; As if you already had made gains. Avoid cold and seek warmth and Do not [allow sweat] to flow away through the skin. This would cause the qi to be carried away quickly. This is correspondence with the qi of winter and It is the Way of nourishing storage. Opposing it harms the kidneys. In spring this causes limpness with receding [qi], And there is little to support generation. (Translated Paul U. Unschuld and Hermann Tessenow in collaboration with Zheng Jinsheng)
