"Four Qi Regulation and Human Theory Chapter 2 – Spring March, this is called the season of renewal, heaven and earth are born together, all things flourish, sleep late and rise early, take long walks in the courtyard, let down your hair and relax your body to allow the will to thrive, nurture life without killing, give without taking, reward without punishing. This is the response to spring qi and the way of nourishing life. 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. This is called following the Dao. The Dao is practiced by the wise 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 the natural order is to oppose the Dao, which is called internal conflict. Therefore, the sage does not treat illness that has already arisen but treats it before it occurs, does not treat chaos that has already formed but prevents it before it happens. This is what is meant. When illness has already formed and medicine is used only then, when chaos has already arisen and treatment is applied only then, it is like digging a well when thirsty or forging a spear in the middle of a battle. Is it not too late?"
