The title of the first chapter is the human body in the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine: essence, qi, form and spirit. This topic made me realize a holistic perspective.
The human body, people, have different levels. According to our understanding, habits may be the order of form, qi, essence and spirit. Whether it is visible or invisible, it is a whole, or these four parts constitute a person, and they are indispensable! Adjusting and improving the intangible energy and spiritual level in life is the way to health, and it is also the "essence, qi and spirit" mentioned at the beginning, which is related to our real satisfaction, or happiness.
"Traditional Chinese medicine studies human life", and what we finally want to understand is that it is life and traditional Chinese medicine is a tool, so don't argue about the quality of Chinese and western medicine or the quality of tools, which is trapped by knowledge.
Spiritual education is a process of gradual clarification and development, especially like this sentence. Only clarification can not only limit confusion to the tangible, but development should expand the dimension of looking at life.
"You have to be a leopard to understand a leopard", and the importance of cultivating consciousness and sensibility comes out. Traditional Chinese medicine adjusts the intangible spirit-information level and energy level. And these two parts can only be felt directly with our hearts and bodies, which is also a process in which my heart is clear. This is also the process in which our eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body finally reach meaning.
Words such as energy and God are also intentionally or unintentionally labeled as mysterious or lacking in science and argument. When we go to the vegetable market to buy food, we will definitely choose fresh fruits and vegetables instead of withered ones. That fresh breath is energy (it doesn't matter what it is). As a person, keeping in good health and maintaining one's own life is not only to fill and maintain this fresh and full life energy, but the external form is naturally youthful and healthy.
I don't remember listening to Mr. Xin Li say in that audio that you were particularly impressed and respected by a middle school teacher. What you will remember is not how professional Ta's blackboard writing or archived handouts are, but mostly Ta's unique personality. Ta teaches knowledge with his true understanding, even the feelings and feelings that really encourage and care about students' Ta. Temperament, charm and quality are all gods, so teacher Xin Li said that education is also vivid. "Language, writing, art, talent, attitude ... everything is just the carrier of" God ".
For people, it is very important to cultivate "God" and maintain life.
This is the second time I have read this book, and I feel that the language in the book is actually very concise and clear. I'm not worried about the word "Chinese medicine" at all, and I'm not worried that I'm completely white. Following the words in the book, there is a feeling of "communication", just like peeling off a layer of something gently, and then discovering that it is not so mysterious, but about real life and myself.
I like this book very much.
