The Dao of Sprouting
生之道
The three months of spring are called putting forth and displaying.
Heaven and Earth all sprout.
The ten thousand things become lush
At night to bed, early to rise.
Briskly
walk around the courtyard.
Let your hair down and relax the body in
order to make that which is of the
heart/mind sprout.
Sprout but do not kill. Give but do not
take.
Reward but do not punish.
This is the Spring compliance of qi
(and)
the cultivation of the Dao of sprouting.
To oppose these principles injures the liver.
(Consequently)
Summer will bring cold changes,
(and)
there will be little to offer one’s growth.
(Neijing Chapter 2)
