“Summer does not sleep on rocks, autumn does not sleep on boards. Spring does not reveal the abdomen…”
Our ancestors emphasized these things not only because they understood the value of sleep for human health. A good sleeping environment helps maintain the balance of yin and yang, promote blood circulation, and prevent diseases.
By following these principles, we not only improve the quality of sleep but also protect our health, benefiting from the secrets of living passed down for thousands of years.
Let’s listen to the specific explanation of the above saying by our ancestors:
Summer does not sleep on rocks
In summer, the scorching heat makes many people seek coolness from rocks. However, our ancestors realized that even though lying on rocks may provide an immediate sense of coolness.
Excessive coldness from the rocks can penetrate the body and affect the function of the spleen, causing a loss of appetite and even diarrhea.
Therefore, they advise us to choose soft, comfortable beds and maintain a suitable temperature in the bedroom during the summer.
Autumn does not sleep on boards
As the weather transitions into autumn, the cold becomes more apparent and sleeping on wooden boards is no longer a wise choice.

Our ancestors believed that autumn needs the warmth of sunlight to dispel the cold. If we sleep on the cold surface of the wood, our bodies will not be able to avoid being chilled, which can affect our health.
Therefore, in autumn, we should pay attention to choosing beds with materials that can retain warmth.
Spring does not reveal the abdomen
Spring is the time when everything becomes fresh and full of vitality. Some people like to sleep with their bellies exposed to feel the warmth of spring. However, this is not a scientific approach.
Our ancestors believed that in spring, when the body is still weak, the abdominal area, where the skin is thin and vulnerable, is easily affected by the cold wind, leading to a decline in the function of the spleen. Therefore, in spring, when sleeping, it is necessary to keep warm and avoid exposing the abdomen.
