天人同源

老子《道德經》:「道生一，一生二，二生三，三生萬物。」

天文觀測推斷，宇宙萬物始於一百三十七億年前一次大爆炸，大爆炸後才有重力場、電磁場，繼而有原物質，然後形成質子、中子、原子，進一步形成分子、無機物、有機物，長時間演化才有植物、動物、 人類。

由此可見，現代天文學和古代中國哲學都認為宇宙萬物是同一物質，逐漸形成、發展、演化而來。春生、夏長、秋收、冬藏等季節養生之道，就是源於此。

Common Origin of the Universe

“Tao produces one
One produces two
Two produce three
Three produce myriad things” — Dao De Jing by Laozi

According to astronomers, the universe began 13.7 billion years ago with the Big Bang. This explosion gave rise to gravity, electromagnetic forces, and matter, which formed into protons, neutrons, atoms, molecules, inorganic and organic material, and over time into plants, animals, and human beings.

Thus it can be seen that modern astronomy and ancient Chinese knowledge both regard the universe and all living things as one and the same substance; having gradually formed, developed, and evolved together. Sprouting in spring, growing in summer, harvesting in autumn, and storing in winter, all seasonal regimens and rhythms derive from this origin.
