Jin Yang (金阳) writes about traditional Chinese wellness for a Western audience. A longtime student of classical Chinese culture and folk food traditions, he translates five-element (五行) ideas — personality, food, seasons and self-care — into small, doable habits for modern life. His name pairs the Metal element (金) with Yang (阳), the active, bright principle — a small nod to the balance this site explores. All articles are educational, reflect traditional cultural views, and are not medical advice.
