If the "manager" is weak, the "managed" will inevitably take the opportunity to "make waves", leading to early menstruation. For example, "Jingyue Quanshu Women's Regulations" says: "If there is no fire in the pulse syndrome and the menstruation is early and late, it means that the heart and spleen are weak and cannot be absorbed. ”
