Among the crowd, rosy cheeks are always particularly eye-catching. These flushed faces are often adorned with a pair of bright eyes, complemented by smiles that outline a joyful demeanor. When they speak, they are always full of energy, enjoying loud laughter and singing. They possess a well-proportioned, robust body, love to exercise, and rarely fall ill. Wherever you see such people, you can’t help but take a second glance; these sunlit individuals are the “legendary” Harmonious Constitution.
The Harmonious Constitution refers to a state where yin and yang are balanced, the functions of the organs and blood are normal, with good innate endowment and proper postnatal nurturing. Individuals with this constitution have a strong adaptability to seasonal changes and geographical environments, and they seldom get sick. The Harmonious Constitution is considered a normal and healthy constitution, characterized by balance, internal harmony, and moderation.
Common Manifestations
Well-proportioned physique, stable weight, stable emotions, peaceful sleep, stable appetite, good digestion, normal bowel movements, skin may be slightly oily or dry, but oil does not cause acne, and dryness does not lead to spots. The complexion is radiant, hair is thick and shiny, eyes are bright, the nose is moist, sense of smell is clear, taste is normal, lips are rosy, energy is abundant, fatigue is rare, tolerance to temperature changes is high, and self-recovery ability is strong. The tongue is light red, with a thin white coating, and the pulse is harmonious and strong.
Characteristics of the Harmonious Constitution
The Harmonious Constitution is a normal constitution. Individuals are well-proportioned and robust, with a cheerful and easy-going personality. The older one gets, the fewer people possess this constitution, with more males than females. They have a strong adaptability to both natural and social environments.
Tendency to Illness
They are not prone to illness. When they do get sick, it is usually easy to treat, and hereditary diseases are relatively rare.
If you live in a harmonious environment, maintain a regular daily routine, and have a balanced diet, you do not need to deliberately pursue nourishment or conditioning; you will naturally receive the gentle influence of harmony and warmth. This suggests that to achieve harmony, one must first act with integrity.
To say that harmony is a constitution is perhaps more accurately described as an attitude. This attitude follows the principle of simplicity; it respects inner desires; it honors relationships between people; and it acknowledges the relationship between humans and nature. Daily life should align with the rhythms of nature; energy should be replenished at sunrise, leading to abundant vitality. As one harmonizes with their inner wishes, they find tranquility in authenticity; they treat others with kindness and tolerance. Entering such a state allows one to see romance in the cool autumn, find beauty in the cold winter, and witness vitality in the hot summer. This is the inner spring, and what our bodies can feel is simply comfort.
The path to health must be walked by oneself. There is no need to rush; walk slowly with a calm and peaceful heart. Until one day, you look in the mirror and see clear, radiant skin, thick black hair, sparkling eyes, a flexible and strong body, and a gentle demeanor. You will realize: I am very healthy! The Harmonious Constitution is, in fact, a beautiful appearance!
Next, you will no longer suffer from constipation; you will learn to sleep deeply, like a sweet-sleeping baby. Each morning, you stretch and awaken with a smile, taking deep breaths filled with the scent of happiness. Abundant energy is brewing within you, and you can face the flu with a smile, watching it pass by like a fool, always unable to find a gap. At this moment, you will tell yourself that the Harmonious Constitution is simply one word: refreshing!
