The Dao of longevity: the 24 seasonal nodes - winter
Description
Qi (2017), McCann, Henry.
Abstract
In the last issue of Qi Journal we began an exploration of the smaller segments of the four seasons, the Twenty Four Seasonal Nodes. The four seasons are fairly large brushstrokes when it comes to describing the ebb and flow of Yin and Yang over the course of a year. Just about everyone can recognize that, for example, early Winter and late Winter are not the same in terms of climate and weather. Also, seasons are not switches that are flipped at one specific moment but rather they transition one into the other. The Seasonal Nodes are a convention that grew out of ancient China’s agrarian society to help explain the nuanced changes that happen over time.
