During the Warring States period, Mencius had the following views on the demise of He Yin Zhou: Jie He Zhou lost the world because they lost the support of the people. If the monarch practices benevolent government, the world can be unified. Now some people want to rule the world just like they have been ill for seven years and asked for moxibustion for more than three years. If they don't make up their minds to implement benevolent policies, they will never be unified.

During the Warring States Period, Mencius once talked about the reasons for the defeat of Xia Jie and Yinzhou. Mencius said: "He Zhou lost the world because they lost the support of ordinary people. The reason for losing people's support is that they have lost people's hearts. The way to become the world is: "He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. The way to win people's hearts is: give them what they want, save more and give more; Don't impose what people hate on them, but that's all. Everyone in the world is attached to benevolence, just as water flows downwards and animals go to the wilderness. So, it was the otters that drove the fish into the abyss, the kites that drove the birds into the jungle, and Xia Jie and Shang Zhou that drove people into Shang Tang and Zhou Wuwang. Today, if there is a monarch who pursues the way of benevolence and righteousness, then all the princes in the world will drive the people to his side for him; Even if he doesn't want to run the country, it's impossible. However, those who try to dominate the world now seem to have been ill for seven years, and they must seek wormwood accumulated for more than three years to be cured and effective. If you don't pay attention to accumulating wormwood at ordinary times, you won't get it for life. If you can't make up your mind to practice benevolent governance, you will worry about being humiliated all your life until you die. "

Now, metaphorically:

Everything should be prepared at ordinary times, and it is too late to think about anything until the last moment.

Understand from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine;

Judging from the literal characteristics of moxibustion, the traditional requirement of this kind of fitness therapy is to achieve therapeutic effects that other methods can't achieve through long-term burning, so long-term persistence is a principle of moxibustion, and this understanding is also of certain significance to our moxibustion lovers, that is, to regard it as a health-preserving activity, and long-term persistence will definitely play a good role in physical health.

"Seven years of illness, three years of love" Some people misunderstand that you have a serious illness or chronic disease for seven years, and it takes three years of moxibustion to cure it. Actually, it is not. The original intention of this sentence is that you should find Ai Chen, who has been suffering from illness for seven years, to improve it.

Why does Ai Chen need three years to be effective?

1, freshly picked wormwood, full of fragrance and yang, contains a lot of volatile oil, which is not suitable for human body to absorb;

2, wormwood within 3 years, the smell is light, but the volatile oil has not been completely distributed, so it is not suitable for use;

3. Only Ai Chen, which has just been stored for 3 years, is very suitable for its smell, yang and volatile oil, which meet the human absorption standards;

4. Ai Chen, which has been sunned for more than 3 years, has little nutrition left and is not suitable.

So there is what Mencius said, "seven years of illness, seeking three years of love."

Moxibustion, a kind of moxibustion method in acupuncture therapy of traditional Chinese medicine, is a natural therapy that ignites moxa cones and moxa sticks made of folium Artemisiae Argyi, and fumigates human acupuncture points to achieve health care treatment. The application of moxibustion originated from the use of fire after human mastery, and the time was also in the Stone Age.

Moxibustion originated in ancient China, because its mechanism of action is similar to acupuncture therapy, and it has a complementary therapeutic effect with acupuncture therapy. Acupuncture is usually used together, so it is called acupuncture.

Acupuncture has a far-reaching influence at home and abroad, but modern people say acupuncture only refers to acupuncture, and rarely includes moxibustion.

Moxibustion is a therapeutic method to prevent and treat diseases by stimulating acupuncture points or specific parts on the body surface with moxa heat generated by moxibustion materials made of folium Artemisiae Argyi, and regulating the physiological and biochemical functions of human disorders by stimulating menstrual activities.

The traditional treatment is to smoke and bake with moxa sticks. After modern science and technology, it is now popular to use moxibustion to keep fit.

Regarding the magic of moxibustion, in the medical classic Introduction to Medicine, it is written that "medicine is not as good as needle, so moxibustion is necessary", while in Huangdi Neijing, there is a saying that "acupuncture is not what it wants, but moxibustion is appropriate".

In fact, the ancients recorded a lot about moxibustion, such as:

"Bian Que's Heart Book" says: "People often have moxibustion before they get sick. Although they don't live forever, they can live for more than a hundred years. "

"Bian Que Heart Sutra" records: "Deficiency of true qi leads to illness, and deficiency of true qi leads to death. The way to save your life is to burn moxa first. ''

It is said in The Book of Mind: "When people are not ill, they often moxibustion Guanyuan, Qihai, Mingmen and Zhongwan. Although they are not immortals, they can still live for a hundred years. " 《

Su Wen's Treatise on Different Prescriptions and Appropriate Treatment states: "Dirty cold is full of diseases, and moxibustion is appropriate for its treatment."

"Records of Famous Doctors" contains: "Ivy is bitter, slightly warm and non-toxic, and it is the main moxibustion for all diseases."

The doctor said that acupuncture said, "If you want to be safe, don't do three miles."

There is a saying in Mencius that "seven years of illness requires three years of love".

For the understanding of moxibustion, some people ask, is it only for sick people? Answer "no, no"

In fact, 99.9% people need moxibustion, especially those who sit in the office for a long time and have constipation and a big stomach. Moxibustion can relieve constipation and lose weight. Moxibustion for cervical discomfort and mouse hand can relieve pain. Moxibustion can improve and treat long-term pharyngitis and rhinitis. In other words, long-term adherence to moxibustion is not only to prevent and treat diseases, but also to enhance immunity and improve the body's function of resistance to foreign countries.

In addition, because moxibustion plaster is simple and safe, many precious mothers now use it to prevent and treat their children's daily diseases, avoiding many children's difficulties such as queuing up for illness, crying after injection and refusing to take medicine. Moxibustion paste is also very popular among middle-aged and elderly people, because many of their chronic diseases can be improved and treated by moxibustion paste.

Judging from the current market situation, moxibustion will soon become a household product. In the future, everyone will have moxibustion, and everyone will have moxibustion, and the goal of "improving the national physique and the health of the whole people" will be truly realized.
