What does it feel like to set foot upon the earth?
Such a simple action, yet so few people pay attention to it.
But whether it is for the Taoists or Buddhists, to walk barefoot is seen as a form of cultivation, shedding worldly desires and cutting off fetters.
And there are those who believe that yin is the foundation of yang, without yin, yang cannot transform. The land is a treasure trove of yin energy, thus regularly walking barefoot on it allows the Earth's yin energy to ascend into the body through the Yongquan Acupoint, nourishing the yin within.
When Shen Siyuan was just an ordinary person, walking barefoot would only make him feel the discomfort of cold and heat, and the roughness beneath his feet, nothing more.
