There is a consensus in the field of traditional Chinese medicine that "strong yang leads to longevity, and weak yang leads to premature death." When the yang energy in the body is sufficient, the functions of the internal organs are good; when the yang energy is insufficient, the internal organs function is poor; and when a person dies, , then the Yang Qi will dissipate. In traditional Chinese medicine, Yang Qi refers to a kind of Qi that has the functions of warming tissues and organs, maintaining physiological functions, and solidifying the body surface. It fills the whole body of the human body, is a symbol of human vitality, and plays a great role in human health and longevity. Influence. And "Suwen·Qi Tongtian Lun" also records: "Yang Qi, if it loses its place in the sky and the sun, will shorten life and not flourish."
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Yang Qi is the driving force of human body material metabolism and physiological functions. All activities are inseparable from Yang Qi and must consume Yang Qi. It is also believed that human growth and old age are all governed by Yang Qi; the production of essence, blood, and body fluids are all transformed by Yang Qi. It can be seen how important Yang Qi is to the human body. If Yang Qi is insufficient, problems will occur in the internal organs, and diseases will easily come to the door.

In traditional Chinese medicine, there is a saying that "when a person reaches forty, his yang energy is insufficient. If he does not replenish his energy at forty, he will suffer at fifty." Generally speaking, as people age, their yang energy will become less and less, and diseases will increase.
