《崔禹锡食经》云∶春七十二日宜食酸咸味，夏七十二日宜食甘苦味，秋七十二日宜食
辛咸味，冬七十二日宜食咸酸味。四季十八日宜食辛苦甘味。
上，相生之味，其能生长化成。
《千金方》云∶春七十二日，省酸增甘以养脾气；夏七十二日，省苦增辛以养肺气；秋
七十二日，省辛增酸以养肝气；冬七十二日，省咸增苦以养心气。四季十八日，省甘增咸以
养肾气。
《崔禹锡食经》云∶春七十二日，禁辛味，黍、鸡、桃、葱是也；夏七十二日，禁咸味，
大豆、猪、栗、藿是也；秋七十二日，禁酸味，麻子、李、菲是也；冬七十二日，禁苦味，
麦、羊、杏、薤是也；四季十八日土王，禁酸咸味，麻、大豆、猪、犬、李、栗、藿是也。
上，食禁可慎。相贼之味，其伤生气，故不成王相也。
《膳夫经》云∶春勿食肝，须增咸苦，禁食脾肺及辛甘。
夏勿食心，须增酸甘，得食肝脾，禁食肾肺及苦辛。
秋勿食肺，须增甘咸，得食脾肾，禁食肝心及苦酸。
冬勿食肾，须增辛酸，禁食心脾及甘苦。
四季勿食脾，须增苦辛，得食心肺，禁肝肾酸咸。
《养生要集》云∶高本王KT 升和日夏至迄秋分，节食肥腻饼 之属，此物与酒水瓜
果相妨，当时不必皆病，入秋 变阳消阴息，气 至，辄多诸暴猝病疠。由于此涉夏取冷大
过，饮食不节故也。而或人以病至之日便谓是受病之始，不知其由来者渐也。
又云∶南阳张衡平子云∶冬至阳气归内，腹中热，物入胃易消化；夏至阴气潜内，腹中
冷，物入胃难消化。距四时不欲食迎节之物，所谓不时伤性损年也。
《崔禹锡食经》说：春季七十二天适宜食用酸味和咸味的食物，夏季七十二天适宜食用甘味和苦味的食物，秋季七十二天适宜食用辛味和咸味的食物，冬季七十二天适宜食用咸味和酸味的食物。四季中每季最后十八天（即长夏）适宜食用辛味、苦味和甘味的食物。
上述是相生之味，能够促进生长、化育和成熟。
《千金方》说：春季七十二天，应减少酸味增加甘味以养护脾气；夏季七十二天，应减少苦味增加辛味以养护肺气；秋季七十二天，应减少辛味增加酸味以养护肝气；冬季七十二天，应减少咸味增加苦味以养护心气。四季中每季最后十八天，应减少甘味增加咸味以养护肾气。
《崔禹锡食经》说：春季七十二天，禁止食用辛味食物，如黍米、鸡肉、桃子、葱等；夏季七十二天，禁止食用咸味食物，如大豆、猪肉、栗子、豆叶等；秋季七十二天，禁止食用酸味食物，如火麻仁、李子、菲菜等；冬季七十二天，禁止食用苦味食物，如小麦、羊肉、杏子、藠头等；四季中每季最后十八天土气旺盛之时，禁止食用酸味和咸味食物，如芝麻、大豆、猪肉、狗肉、李子、栗子、豆叶等。
上述饮食禁忌应当谨慎对待。相克（相贼）之味，会伤害生机，因此不能成就王相之气。
《膳夫经》说：春季不要食用肝脏，必须增加咸味和苦味，禁止食用脾脏、肺脏以及辛味和甘味食物。
夏季不要食用心脏，必须增加酸味和甘味，可以食用肝脏和脾脏，禁止食用肾脏、肺脏以及苦味和辛味食物。
秋季不要食用肺脏，必须增加甘味和咸味，可以食用脾脏和肾脏，禁止食用肝脏、心脏以及苦味和酸味食物。
冬季不要食用肾脏，必须增加辛味和酸味，可以食用心脏和脾脏，禁止食用心脾及甘苦味食物。（注：原文此处逻辑似有脱漏或特定语境，依文直译：禁食心脾及甘苦——此处原文为“禁食心脾及甘苦”，但前文冬令养心，通常忌甘，此处依原文翻译：禁止食用心脏、脾脏以及甘味和苦味食物。）*修正：原文为“禁食心脾及甘苦”，结合上下文冬令养心，此处可能指避免过度摄入损伤心脾之物，或原文有误。严格按原文翻译：禁止食用心脏、脾脏以及甘味和苦味食物。*
四季中每季最后十八天不要食用脾脏，必须增加苦味和辛味，可以食用心脏和肺脏，禁止食用肝脏、肾脏以及酸味和咸味食物。
《养生要集》说：高本王KT升和日（注：此处原文可能有误或为特定版本异文，暂按字面处理，疑为“高氏”或人名，后接“夏至迄秋分”），从夏至到秋分这段时间，节制食用肥腻、饼类食物，这些食物与酒水、瓜果相互妨碍，当时不一定都会生病，到了秋天阳气消退阴气增长，邪气到来时，往往容易引发各种突发急病和瘟疫。这是由于夏天贪凉太过，饮食没有节制造成的。有人等到发病的那一天才说是受病的开始，不知道病因是逐渐积累而成的。
又说：南阳张衡（字平子）说：冬至时阳气回归体内，腹中发热，食物进入胃里容易消化；夏至时阴气潜藏于内，腹中寒冷，食物进入胃里难以消化。远离四季不顺应节气的事物，这就是所说的不合时令会损伤本性、折损寿命。
The *Cui Yuxi Food Classic* states: During the 72 days of spring, sour and salty flavors are suitable; during the 72 days of summer, sweet and bitter flavors are suitable; during the 72 days of autumn, pungent and salty flavors are suitable; during the 72 days of winter, salty and sour flavors are suitable. During the 18 days at the end of each season (Long Summer), pungent, bitter, and sweet flavors are suitable.
These are flavors that generate each other (Xiang Sheng), capable of promoting growth, transformation, and maturation.
The *Qianjin Fang* states: During the 72 days of spring, reduce sour and increase sweet to nourish Spleen Qi (Pi Qi); during the 72 days of summer, reduce bitter and increase pungent to nourish Lung Qi (Fei Qi); during the 72 days of autumn, reduce pungent and increase sour to nourish Liver Qi (Gan Qi); during the 72 days of winter, reduce salty and increase bitter to nourish Heart Qi (Xin Qi). During the 18 days at the end of each season, reduce sweet and increase salty to nourish Kidney Qi (Shen Qi).
The *Cui Yuxi Food Classic* states: During the 72 days of spring, avoid pungent flavors, such as millet (Setaria italica), chicken, peach, and scallion; during the 72 days of summer, avoid salty flavors, such as soybean, pork, chestnut, and bean leaves; during the 72 days of autumn, avoid sour flavors, such as hemp seed, plum, and Chinese chives; during the 72 days of winter, avoid bitter flavors, such as wheat, mutton, apricot, and shallot; during the 18 days when Earth Qi is dominant at the end of each season, avoid sour and salty flavors, such as sesame, soybean, pork, dog meat, plum, chestnut, and bean leaves.
Dietary prohibitions should be observed with caution. Flavor conflicts (Xiang Ze) harm vital energy (Sheng Qi), thus preventing the establishment of Wang Xiang Qi (prosperous seasonal qi).
The *Shanfu Jing* states: In spring, do not consume liver; one must increase salty and bitter flavors, and prohibit consumption of spleen, lung, and pungent and sweet foods.
In summer, do not consume heart; one must increase sour and sweet flavors, may consume liver and spleen, and prohibit consumption of kidney, lung, and bitter and pungent foods.
In autumn, do not consume lung; one must increase sweet and salty flavors, may consume spleen and kidney, and prohibit consumption of liver, heart, and bitter and sour foods.
In winter, do not consume kidney; one must increase pungent and sour flavors, may consume heart and spleen, and prohibit consumption of heart, spleen, and sweet and bitter foods.
At the end of each season, do not consume spleen; one must increase bitter and pungent flavors, may consume heart and lung, and prohibit consumption of liver, kidney, and sour and salty foods.
The *Yangsheng Yaoji* states: From the Summer Solstice to the Autumn Equinox, one should moderate the consumption of fatty, greasy, and cake-like foods. These items conflict with alcoholic beverages, melons, and fruits. Illness may not manifest immediately, but as autumn arrives and Yang declines while Yin grows, pathogenic factors arise, often leading to various sudden acute diseases and epidemics. This is due to excessive cooling intake during summer and lack of dietary regulation. Some people consider the day symptoms appear as the start of the disease, unaware that the cause accumulates gradually.
It also states: Zhang Heng (courtesy name Pingzi) of Nanyang said: At the Winter Solstice, Yang Qi returns inward, causing heat in the abdomen, making food digest easily after entering the stomach; at the Summer Solstice, Yin Qi hides inward, causing cold in the abdomen, making food difficult to digest after entering the stomach. One should avoid consuming foods contrary to the seasonal transitions. This is what is meant by "not eating according to the season damages nature and shortens life."
