The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon states that in the third month of spring, it is the time for Chen, the birth of all things, and the glory of all things. When lying down early and waking up early, the court is wide, the hair is slowly draped, the mind is born, not killed, not robbed, and not punished. This response to spring qi is also the path to health preservation. In spring, the sunshine is bright and beautiful, and all things are revived. It is a good time to use natural qi for health preservation. Therefore, in spring, it is necessary to strengthen physical exercise and engage in outdoor activities such as walking, running, hiking, manipulation, boxing, playing ball, twisting yangko, kicking feathers, skipping rope, etc., to improve blood circulation, enhance cardiovascular function, and allow brain tissue to obtain more blood and oxygen.During exercise, the movements should be extended, smooth, and slow, with grass sprouting, willows swaying in the wind, and dragonflies touching the water. The amount of exercise should not be too fast or too large. Sun Simiao often used the metaphor of "flowing water does not rot, and the axis of the household does not become tangled" to describe the principle of the movement of life, and proposed the "way of nourishing life, always wanting to work hard". 'Minor labor' refers to moderate labor. Therefore, do not overexert yourself during exercise to avoid sweating and damaging the sunlight, which goes against the purpose of nourishing the sun in spring and summer.
