*Yangsheng Yaoji* records: *Zhongjing* states that one should speak and laugh moderately, avoiding raising one's voice. A raised voice often stems from arguing principles, distinguishing right from wrong, and engaging in mutual mockery or speaking vulgar and disrespectful words. Whenever encountering such situations, one should maintain a humble mind and calm qi, refraining from contention with others. Excessive speech and laughter damage the Lung (Zang organ governing respiration) and Kidney (Zang organ storing essence), leading to mental instability.
*Qianjin Fang* states that winter is suitable for speaking but not for loud talking. (Self-talk is termed "yan," while answering others is termed "yu." When asked by someone, one should not answer nor open the mouth.)
It further states that when walking in the cold during winter, one should not speak loudly or open the mouth wide.
It also states that speech should be like a contained bell sound—steady and resonant.
It adds that one should not talk while walking; if one wishes to speak, one must stand still first. (Talking while walking causes loss of vital qi.)
It further advises that even when reciting or practicing speech, one should constantly visualize the sound sinking into the Qihai (Sea of Qi, located below the navel).
It states that upon rising in the morning, one should focus on discussing virtuous matters rather than calculating wealth.
It advises that upon getting out of bed in the morning, one should not scold vomit or call out, nor use foul language.
It states that one should not sigh in the morning.
It further states that whenever speaking in the early morning, one should always speak of good things; upon hearing bad news, one should spit three times towards the direction the news came from, which brings good fortune.
It states that after sunrise, one should not speak or recite. If recitation is necessary, it is better to wait until dawn.
It states that one must not speak while sleeping. (The five Zang organs are like bells; without being hung, they cannot produce sound, implying that internal organs require stillness during sleep.)
It advises that dreams at night should not be told to others. In the morning, sprinkle water towards the east and chant the mantra: "Evil dreams attach! Good dreams of grass and trees become precious jade," thus avoiding misfortune.
It states that neither good nor bad dreams should be spoken of.
*Yangsheng Zhi* states that one should not say "what shall I do" upon rising in the morning, nor sing or howl; this is called inviting blessings and auspiciousness.
It further states that after waking from sleep, one should not speak loudly, as this damages qi and reduces physical strength.
It states that one should not sing or chant while sleeping, as this may give rise to inauspicious events.
*Zhenzhong Fang* states that those who study the Dao should keep everything secret and not leak a single word. Leaking one word reduces one's "suan" (a unit of lifespan calculation), where one suan equals three days of life.
*Taisu Jing* records that Qibo stated: Clothing in the morning should be appropriate for the temperature; avoid shivering from cold and avoid sweating profusely from heat.
*Yangsheng Yaoji* records that the Green Ox Doctor said: Although the weather is warm in spring, one should not wear thin clothes. One should always allow the body to sweat slightly for comfort.
*Qianjin Fang* states that clothing and utensils should not be adorned with pearls, jade, gold, or jewels, as this increases faults.
It further states that one should not wear thin clothes in spring, as this leads to Cold Damage (Shanghan), Huoluan (cholera-like syndrome), indigestion, and headache.
It states that when spring ice has not yet melted, clothing should be thick at the bottom and thin at the top to nourish Yang and conserve Yin, thereby extending life and promoting longevity.
It states that wet or sweaty clothes should not be worn for long periods, as this causes sores and wind-induced itching. After profuse sweating, changing clothes is best; if not possible, one should urgently apply powder to the body, otherwise, it leads to difficulty in urination.
It states that if morning clothes have a luster, shake them three times facing the door and chant: "Misfortune depart, misfortune depart, auspicious."
*Yangsheng Zhi* states that upon rising in the morning to dress, correct any reversed garments; once dressed properly, it is auspicious.
It further states that upon rising in the morning, if the belt is tied around the body or knotted, shake it three times and say: "Misfortune depart, misfortune depart, auspicious."
It states that using high pillows and spitting from a distance shortens lifespan.
*Bencao Shi Jin Za Fa* states that one should not face north when putting on a hat or tying a sash, as this is highly inauspicious.
