There is a saying that everyone must have heard: spring and summer to raise yang, autumn and winter to nourish yin, winter disease and summer treatment. So when is the most suitable time to start raising in summer? That is the beginning of Futian, that is, when you enter the ambush, you begin to raise yang.
Many people may be puzzled, why do you need to raise yang when the weather is so hot in summer? The Qing Dynasty physician Gao Shitong gave the answer in his commentary: the sage nourishes the yang in spring and summer, so that the qi of the young yang is born and the qi of the sun is long; Autumn and winter shade; So that the qi of the yin is collected, and the qi of the yin is stored. It is said to raise the sun in spring and summer.

It is recorded in ancient books: "The so-called long summer, June also." The earth is born in fire, grows in the middle of summer, and is both long and vigorous. Therefore, the clouds are long summer". The earth is born of fire, strengthened by the breath of summer, and contained in the middle of summer.
The "Dictionary of Chinese Medicine" contains: "Xia June also. Xia is the mother of soil, grows in the middle, and governs with long, hence the name. "Therefore, in the long summer, we take care of the yang energy in the body to keep it abundant, so that we can better adapt to the rise of yang energy in nature.
