The old theoretical knowledge is so intertwined with real life phenomena. In holland for instance it feels very early spring at this moment. We can feel the wind which has a yang moving 'root' quality but this wind on earth belongs to jue yin which is yin. So it a kind of moving cooling wind. Yet shelterd away from the wind its actually really warm!
How to understand this?
To balance this cold wind quality and to create new life jue yin is partnered with shaoyang which is yang and represents the center. At the same time shaoyang has the fire qi as its root qi and that is yang.
The cool thing is that without all this yang explosive fire counterbalance, new life could never sprout. All those small seeds need an incredible yang force to push through the hard soil to grow towards the sun. Young chicks need to break through a hard shell to live.
In tuina acupuncture and herbal medicine we sometimes need explosive heat to return life to a human being too. And all this comes from being conscious of the processes around us.
Mind blowing isn't it!
