Let me start with an interesting phenomenon. People all over the world, rich or poor, have a similar image, that is, they all clench their fists and put them down.
As we all know, there is a sequence here.
The hippopotamus chef is a big head image when the child is born, with a big head and a small body. After the child was born, it was observed that when the child was born, his hands were the same, that is, four fingers held the thumb. This is an ancient hieroglyph of ugly characters. In Taoism, the grip of thumb between four fingers is called grip.
When a child is born, the top of his head (x? N) The door is not closed, and the fontanel is considered as the place where the soul goes in and out, so the way to hold a child at birth is to hold the soul. Taoism believes that the root of the ring finger is the wind point of the liver, so the grip method is that the thumb is pinched at the root of the ring finger, and the child is held so tightly at birth. This is because his liver was particularly full when he was born, and at the same time he had to hold his soul.
People have the same image when they die, but they just leave. This image implies an important fact to us. At the moment of death, the liver and soul are scattered and the two hands can no longer be fixed. Once you let go, your grip strength and liver qi go with your soul.
Therefore, human life and death are closely related to the mechanism of liver qi. The liver belongs to Jueyin of Chinese medicine, and it has the ability of hair growth and publication. At the same time, this hair growth must be able to converge. Therefore, when describing the woody nature of the liver, Chinese medicine takes the word "straightness", in which "straightness" is its convergence and "straightness" is its smoothness. Therefore, China traditional culture has a dialectical way of looking at things.
If we want to live a long life, we should always exercise our grip strength.
In daily life, you should move your fingers more when you are free. In the past, the old man had a good exercise method of kneading walnuts, that is, putting two walnuts in his palm and kneading them around. This method can move each finger very well, and the walnut just forms the image of Artest Taiji in their palm, so it is also called Tai Ji Chuan.
Finger-to-finger tapping is a good exercise method, that is, let our fingers face each other and tap each other. This method exercises the well points on the fingers, not only exercises the flexibility of the hands, but also exercises the liver qi, which is also very beneficial to the health of our brains. Girls with cold hands and feet must always knock their fingers together so that blood can reach their limbs.
