"Four Qi Regulation and Human Theory Chapter 2 – Spring March, this is called the season of renewal, where heaven and earth are born, and all things flourish. Sleep late and rise early, take long walks in the courtyard, let your hair down and relax your body to invigorate your spirit. Give birth and do not kill, bestow and do not take, reward and do not punish. This is the response to the spring qi and the way of nourishing life. Therefore, yin and yang and the four seasons are the beginning and end of all things, the root of life and death. To oppose them brings disaster, to follow them prevents severe illness, and this is called following the Dao. The Dao is practiced by the sages and revered by the foolish. To follow yin and yang brings life, to oppose them brings death. To follow them brings order, to oppose them brings chaos. To reverse what is right is to oppose the Dao, which is called internal obstruction. Therefore, the sage does not treat illness that has already formed but treats it before it arises, does not treat chaos that has already occurred but prevents it before it happens. This is what is meant by this. When illness has already formed and medicine is used, or chaos has already occurred and treatment is applied, it is like digging a well when thirsty or forging a spear in the middle of a battle—how late is that!"
