Men of virtue should restrain their desires, eat light food, reduce sour taste, and increase bitter taste, which benefits the liver and kidneys. During this period, one should rest quietly and maintain harmony with nature to calm the mind.The lunar fifth month is also called the "poisonous month". In ancient times, customs varied across different regions of China. Some places in northern China considered the lunar fifth month as a poisonous month. The Nine Poison Days: the 5th, 6th, 7th, 15th, 16th, 17th, and 25th, 26th, 27th of the fifth lunar month. These nine days are known as the "Nine Poison Days", and the 14th of the fifth lunar month is the "Day of Heaven and Earth's Intersection". Please be extremely careful during these ten days, even for an entire month. During these ten days, it is strictly forbidden to kill living beings or have sexual relations, otherwise, one act is equivalent to a hundred, which can severely harm the body, deplete energy, and cannot be recovered by medicine.
