Shennong health palace
According to legend, "Shen Nong's health-preserving work" originated from our ancestor, Shen Nong, the originator of Chinese medicine and agriculture. It has been passed down from generation to generation by Taoist priests and doctors and continues to this day. It laid a valuable foundation for the theory of tropism of nature and taste, the theory of meridians in traditional Chinese medicine and the theory of Taoist cultivation of Neidandan medicine. It is a treasure of Chinese culture and national wealth. The exercise method of "Shen Nong's body-building exercises" follows the principles of nature, returning to nature and the unity of man and nature, and conforms to the natural environment of people's natural simplicity and life at that time, so the exercise method is extremely simple, and everyone can learn it as long as they practice hard. Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, Tao and Nature [1]? This sentence is "one word hits the mystery." Regular practice of "Shen Nong regimen" can make the weak body healthy and strong, restore the health of sub-health people and prevent diseases for healthy people. Therefore, Shennong's health preservation can make people weak and rejuvenate; It can not only drive away diseases and restore health, but also strengthen the brain and increase wisdom, eliminate all diseases and prolong life.
The origin of Shen Nong's regimen
According to legend, "Shen Nong's health-preserving work" originated from our ancestor, Shen Nong, the originator of Chinese medicine and agriculture. It has been passed down from generation to generation by Taoist priests and doctors and continues to this day. It laid a valuable foundation for the theory of tropism of nature and taste, the theory of meridians in traditional Chinese medicine and the theory of Taoist cultivation of Neidandan medicine. It is a treasure of Chinese culture and national wealth.
Shennong is a figure in ancient Chinese myths and legends in China. His appearance ended an era. According to the Records of the Picking Up, one day, a bird with a red body was flying in the sky with a colorful Jiusui Valley in its mouth. When it passed over Shennong's head, Jiusui Valley fell to the ground. Shennong saw it, picked it up and buried it in the soil, and later it grew into a piece. He rubbed the ears of wheat with his hand and put them in his mouth. It felt delicious. So he taught people five-grain agriculture, and everyone called him Shennong. His tribe was called Shennong tribe because of its agriculture. After Huang San's efforts and a long time, the Great God appeared in China.
Shennong, the inventor of agriculture and medicine in folklore, tasted all kinds of herbs and taught people medical treatment and farming. Because of these two important contributions, they are honored by the world as "King of Medicine", "King of Grain", "Emperor of Grain" and "Emperor of Shennong". They are the gods in charge of medicine and agriculture, which can not only protect the agricultural harvest and people's health, but also be regarded as the patron saint by Yiguang and drugstore.
Shennong tried a hundred herbs, practiced Shennong's health preservation and wrote Shennong's herbal classics.
In ancient times, China made great progress through Huang San's efforts, but people's lives were still very difficult. Grains and weeds grow together, and medicines and flowers bloom together. No one can tell which grains can be eaten and which herbs can cure diseases. Lebanese people hunt for a living. There are fewer birds in the sky, fewer animals in the ground, and people have to go hungry. Who wants to get sick with sores, no medicine, no medicine. When Shennong sees people eating by mistake, they sometimes get poisoned or even die. People are sick, Shennong sees it in his eyes and hurts in his heart. So there was the idea of "Shennong tasting a hundred herbs", clarifying the medicinal properties and eliminating disasters and diseases for everyone.
The Historical Records of the Western Han Dynasty records: "Shennong planted grass with a whip and only tasted a hundred herbs." Shennong saved people's lives and made the people live longer with the aim of "declaring and curing diseases". He traveled all over Sanxiang, tasted all kinds of herbs, and understood their properties of flatness, toxicity, cold and warmth. In order to find a good medicine to cure diseases and save lives, he chewed almost all the plants. "Seventy poisons a day." In the process of tasting herbs, Shennong identified the herbs and found the traditional Chinese medicine with the functions of attacking poison, eliminating disease and preserving health. As a result, the people were "cured" and no longer "sick", so their ancestors named him "Medicine God"
It is said that Shennong met a fairy when he was looking for medicine to cure the disease. Those who practice this skill can regulate the yin and yang of the body, strengthen the internal organs, feel the flow direction of qi in the body, and walk the meridians and acupoints; You can also observe the meridians and viscera that the food you eat enters after being digested in the body, and feel the function and pharmacology of the food. Finally, the effects of strengthening the body and prolonging life are achieved. He went to the wild land to plant trees and got Yao grass from the garden of heaven and earth. When he was given a whip that day, Shennong took it all the way back to Lieshan from the wild land. Taste all herbs with magical power to feel their properties, and record the nature, taste, meridian tropism, efficacy and toxicity of each herb. Shennong was poisoned many times in the process of tasting various herbs, and encountered 70 times of poisoning in the most one day.
Shennong selected 365 kinds of herbs and put them into Shennong's herbal classics, which have been handed down to the world and can cure all diseases. Among them, there are 252 kinds of plant medicine, 67 kinds of animal medicine and 46 kinds of mineral medicine. According to the different properties and purposes of use, drugs are divided into three categories: upper, middle and lower. It is called "three-product classification" and meets the three talents of "heaven and earth". Top grade 120, non-toxic. Most of them are nourishing and strong products, such as ginseng, licorice, rehmannia root and jujube, which can be taken for a long time. There are 120 kinds of products in China, some are non-toxic and some are toxic, and some can make up the deficiency and help the weak, such as lily, angelica, longan and velvet antler. Some can dispel pathogenic factors and resist diseases, such as coptis chinensis, ephedra, angelica dahurica and scutellaria baicalensis. There are 0/25 kinds of inferior drugs/kloc-,many of which are toxic and can dispel evil and break accumulation, such as rhubarb, aconite, kansui, croton, etc., which cannot be taken for a long time. This is the earliest pharmacological classification in China, which has been used for several generations. In order to commemorate his kindness and achievements, people regarded him as the God of the King of Medicine, and built the Temple of the King of Medicine, offering sacrifices in four seasons. At the junction of Sichuan, Hubei and Shaanxi in China, it is said that Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, which is called Shennongjia Mountain Area. Li Shizhen, a medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty, continued the practice of "Shennong tasting a hundred herbs". On the basis of Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica, he devoted his life to writing a masterpiece of Chinese medicine, Compendium of Materia Medica, which made great contributions to the medical field and even the world.
It can be seen that Shen Gong made an indelible contribution in the birth of Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica. In order to commemorate the "magic power", later generations named it "Shen Nong's health-preserving power", because it has the health-preserving effect of strengthening the body and prolonging life, and it has been passed down from generation to generation by Taoism and doctors and continues to this day.
The spread and function of Shen Nong's regimen
The inheritance of "Shen Nong's health-preserving work" is generally passed down from generation to generation by a family of Chinese medicine or Taoism, so few people in the world know it, adding a lot of mystery to the outside world. "Shen Nong's health-preserving work" has always been based on Chinese national culture, bearing the doctor's practice of saving the world and Taoist health-preserving thought, with a long history and endless life. But thousands of years have passed, and many of them have been lost, which is a pity. It is said that the original rare edition of Shennong's Herbal Classic has been lost, leaving only the medicine we see today. Fortunately, just like our Chinese culture, it has been passed down from generation to generation for the benefit of future generations. The inheritors also carried it forward on the original basis. At present, a lot of kung fu has evolved from it, and today it has developed into many schools and practices. Of course, different people achieve different effects and purposes. As far as martial arts practitioners are concerned, they can chop bricks and stones, strengthen bones and muscles, and reach the surface of fur, which is extremely brave. The practice of keeping healthy people can reconcile the yin and yang of the human body, strengthen the five internal organs, and finally achieve the effect of strengthening the body and prolonging life. For medical practitioners, we can really understand the nature and taste of traditional Chinese medicine, the trend of meridians, the specific location of acupoints, and the relationship between viscera and meridians. , thus avoiding the doctor's conformity and borrowing, and no longer mechanically copying the knowledge in books to achieve the right medicine.
"Shen Nong's regimen" is a China culture that comes down in one continuous line with traditional Chinese medicine. It is a breathing-guided regimen of traditional Chinese medicine, which complements the medical knowledge of meridians, acupoints, acupuncture, massage, pharmacy and so on. It can be said that it is a mother-child relationship. Without Shennong's health-preserving power, the theories of meridians, acupoints, acupuncture, massage and pharmacy in traditional Chinese medicine would cease to exist, because without Shennong's health-preserving power, you would not feel the existence and location of meridians and acupoints, and you would not know the nature and taste of traditional Chinese medicine and the meridian tropism. Without these foundations, it is impossible to talk about the extended theoretical knowledge of other Chinese medicine. Without these ancient Chinese medicine therapies, then, therefore, the importance of "Shen Nong's health preservation" can be seen.
Shen Nong's Health Keeping Exercise pays attention to the exercise of "true qi". Regular practice of Shen Nong's Health Keeping Exercise can make the weak body healthy and strong, make the sub-healthy people recover, and prevent diseases for the healthy people. Therefore, Shennong's health preservation can make people weak and rejuvenate; It can not only drive away diseases and restore health, but also strengthen the brain and increase wisdom, eliminate all diseases and prolong life.
Interpretation of Shennong's health care work
Laozi's Tao Te Ching once described "keeping in good health" in this way: "The mysterious is the door of Wan Qi." Tao Te Ching describes in great detail the cultivation methods of keeping healthy and keeping quiet, such as: "Be empty, be quiet and believe"; "I often have no desire to see its wonders, and I often want to see its wonders"; "If it is continuous, it will not be used often." The general idea is that calmness leads to nothingness, no desire and no thoughts, and firmly adheres to "quietness". In the process of keeping "quiet", there will be some wonderful feelings. If there are no distractions, you will feel the wonderful feeling of nothingness with peace of mind; If you have distractions and desires, feel a specific position in your body-meaning the wonderful feeling of abdomen. As long as you practice hard, if you don't have "true qi", you will keep wandering all over your body to achieve the goal of health and longevity. Laozi said: "mania wins cold, quietness wins heat, and quietness is the best in the world"; "People can always be quiet, and heaven and earth will be returned"; "So clean, gradually into the truth; Both into the truth, that way "; "Enlightened people are often quiet." -This is "Tao" and this is "Shen Nong's health preservation".
Huangdi Neijing and Huangtingjing have a more systematic, detailed and clear description of the cultivation of "health preservation". Huang Tingjing, in particular, refers to the meaning of guarding the heart, that is, "guarding the mind", that is, the position of guarding the heart, the scene that appears when guarding the heart, and "jade liquid", that is, the way of swallowing saliva. As Huang Tingjing said, "the mouth is a jade pond, and it is a Taihe official. After the disaster, the mouthwash will not dry up. The specific positions of "eating fetal fluid with closed tongue", "Dantian" and "Huang Ting", such as "the residence of three-inch gods with horizontal fluid", the position of meridians and acupoints, and the efficacy after cultivation. They are all more incisive and vivid, and easier to understand than the Tao Te Ching. " Immortal Taoist priests are not gods, energetic and self-righteous. "This sentence in Huang Tingjing tells the core meaning of practicing" the power of keeping in good health "and the way of keeping in good health: anyone who gains the Tao is not blessed by heaven or born, but needs to gather the true qi through unremitting efforts and acquired practice to live a long and healthy life. This is the so-called" gaining the Tao "!
On the basis of "keeping in good health", Hua Tuo, an imperial doctor, created "Five-Animal Play" according to the development of imitating the postures of five animals, such as apes, deer, bears, tigers and cranes. "Five-Animal Play" can be used to prevent and treat diseases, and at the same time, it can make the legs and feet light and agile. Hua tuo believes that "the human body has to work, ... blood circulates, and diseases cannot be born, such as Hu Shu, and will never die." "Wuqinxi" has spread to today and has developed into a set of medical gymnastics that can stretch the muscles and joints of the whole body.
Shennong's way of keeping healthy
Huangdi Neijing puts forward that "blood is the mother of qi, and qi is handsome for blood", and "qi does not produce blood, and blood does not get angry". Qi can carry blood, which exists in blood, and the flow of blood depends on the strength of qi. Therefore, "qi" and "blood" are interdependent, complementary and indispensable. "Shennong regimen" is to exercise this kind of "qi" through effective methods, so that "qi and blood are sufficient and all diseases are not born" and the purpose of "health and longevity" is achieved.
Since "Qi" is so important in people's lives, what is this "Qi"? Qi refers to "true qi", "Shou Yuan's true qi" and "innate or acquired vitality". Modern medicine has proved that it is the "physiological electricity" of our human body. "Shen Nong's Health Keeping Exercise" is actually a simple and effective method, which can quickly gather the "physiological electricity" of the human body. According to the law, it is very fast and the health care effect is very outstanding. Because "physiological electricity" exists in everyone's body, not only a few people can practice "Shennong regimen", but everyone is suitable for it. The exercise method of "Shen Nong's body-building exercises" follows the principles of nature, returning to nature and the unity of man and nature, and conforms to the natural environment of people's natural simplicity and life at that time, so the exercise method is extremely simple, and everyone can learn it as long as they practice hard. The sentence "Tao is natural" in Laozi's Tao Te Ching hit the nail on the head.
We all know that human beings live in a big magnetic field. The whole universe, solar system and even the earth are full of magnetic fields, which are used to maintain the balance of the whole environment. The human body is actually a small magnetic field, and all physiological functions of the human body are completed by the participation of physiological electricity: the beating of the heart, the rotation of thinking, and the generation of every tiny movement are all completed by physiological electricity. Electric energy and magnetic energy have always played an extremely important role in human society. The strength of physiological electricity determines the health state of human body. The stronger the physiological electricity, the healthier the human body. If the "physiological electricity" of the human body weakens or disappears, then the health level of the human body will decline, or life will end. Shennong's health-preserving function is to effectively gather the physiological electricity scattered in human tissues, and gather it to an inherent place through the specific network that the human body has laid, that is, meridians and acupoints. This place is what we often call Upper Dantian, Middle Dantian and Lower Dantian. These three fields have the functions of collecting, storing, gestating and releasing physiological electricity, which are repeated. The more physiological electricity is collected, the more it is released.
There are many ways to treat diseases by electrotherapy and magnetic therapy in modern medicine, and the effect is good. Modern doctors can't make the human body generate more electric energy or magnetic energy than usual, but they can only use external forces to treat diseases, such as patients with cardiac arrest activated by two electrodes. Cases in which meridians and acupoints can cure all diseases abound in our lives, which makes us convinced. Our country has never given up the research on ancient people and even modern people using meridians and acupoints to treat diseases, but so far there is no specific conclusion. The twelve meridians and the meridians and acupoints of the Eight Veins of the Qijing can't be found or seen in modern anatomy, but they are real, which can't help but show how great and wise our ancestors are, and it has also been proved, but modern medicine and technology can't prove his existence, which doesn't mean that he really doesn't exist. Perhaps, Shennong was a special wise man in the desert era, with a discriminating ability that modern people can't understand, but modern genetic research proves the authenticity of Shennong's tasting a hundred herbs from another angle. AARON Li, head of the Modern Anthropology Laboratory of Fudan University, and others found that there is a bitter gene named TAS2R 16 in China, which can identify which bitter plants are poisonous. We believe that in the near future, these mysteries and unsolved mysteries will be answered more accurately with modern medicine and technology. And the classics of Chinese ancestors will be passed down from generation to generation and shine brilliantly.
