Relationship between Yin-Yang and Five Elements and Human Health
In the biography of Dharma Treasure: Husband's life, yin and yang, the sun and moon of the sky, the fire and water of the earth, the wind and cloud of the air, the north and south of the square, the meridian of the time, the divination of divination, and the life of man. There is no sun and moon in the sky, so you can't hang stars to fight; There is no fire and water on the ground and it cannot support life; Void and cloudless, the people can't be clear and peaceful; Without North and South, how can the Quartet be peaceful? If there is no obstacle to divination, how can fire and water rise and fall? When there is no meridian, how can day and night be distinguished? People have no life, and there is no host in the whole body; Without yin and yang, everything comes from. ?
Yin and yang also cover the exterior and interior, the exterior belongs to yang and the interior belongs to yin; For example, it is sunny outside and cloudy inside; The skin of the fruit is yang and the pulp is yin; As far as plants are concerned, branches and leaves are yang, roots are yin, bark is yang and trunk is yin; In terms of human body, the back is yang, the front is yin, the right is yang, and the left is yin; Male is yang, female is yin; Qi is yang and blood is yin; Pericardium, small intestine, gallbladder, stomach, large intestine, bladder and other six fu-organs are yang, while liver, heart, spleen, lung, kidney and other five internal organs are yin, hence the saying:? Small intestine and heart, gallbladder and liver, stomach and spleen, large intestine and lung, bladder and kidney. ? Because of the close relationship between exterior and interior, the pathological changes of the five internal organs will affect the six internal organs, and the disorder of the six internal organs will also cause the pathological changes of the five internal organs.
Based on the relationship between yin and yang, everything in the whole universe is formed, so the Book of Changes records that solitary yang is not a thing, and solitary yin is not a thing. ? Besides Yin and Yang, there are five elements in the universe, namely wood, fire, earth, gold and water. In azimuth, it belongs to oriental wood, southern fire, intermediate soil, western gold and northern water. Taiwan Province Province, for example, has four distinct seasons and is known as a beautiful treasure island, because Taiwan Province Province is a complete island, just like a sparrow, small but complete. East belongs to wood, so there are more trees in East Taiwan Province Province. The south is a fire, so South Taiwan Province Province is hotter. The middle part belongs to soil, so there are many mountains and soil in Nantou area. The west belongs to gold, so the economy of West Taiwan Province Province is relatively developed. The north belongs to water, so there is much rain in North Taiwan Province Province. The five internal organs of the human body also belong to the five elements, the liver belongs to wood, the heart belongs to fire, the spleen belongs to earth, the lung belongs to gold, and the kidney belongs to water. The relationship between the five elements is also very close. They not only generate and restrict each other, but also insult and multiply each other. The five elements coexist, that is, wood makes a fire, fire makes soil, soil makes gold, gold makes water, and aquatic wood. This is the law of nature. Wood turns to ashes when it burns, and ashes are also soil. Soil is rich in metal minerals, and well-drilling tools made of metal can dig out water and irrigate vegetation. This phenomenon is called symbiosis. The five elements are born together, namely, Mutuke, Tukeshui, Shuihuoke, Huojinke and Jin Kemu. For example, when a tree grows, its trunk or roots will gradually push away the soil, but the soil can resist floods, water can put out fires, fire can melt metals, and sharp metal tools can cut wood. This phenomenon is called mutual resistance. The so-called mutual restraint is the role of checks and balances. For example, wood soil means that wood has a balancing effect on soil, but if the wood is too strong and the soil is too restrained, it will cause the shortage of soil. This is called wood borrowing, also called multiplication. Wood would have accepted the checks and balances of gold, but because wood is too strong or gold itself is very weak, at this time, gold can not only restrain wood, but will be resisted by wood. This is called Jin Xumu, also called threat.
Yin-Yang Theory and Human Body
First, the relationship between yin and yang and human anatomical parts: the upper part of the human body is yang and the lower part is yin; The body surface is yang, and the body is yin; The back is yang and the chest is yin; The outer side of the limbs is yang and the inner side is yin; Skin is yang, bones and muscles are yin; The gallbladder, small intestine, stomach, large intestine, bladder, triple energizer and six fu organs belong to yang, while the liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney belong to yin.
Second, the relationship between yin and yang and human physiology: whether a person is healthy or not depends on whether yin and yang are harmonious. As Neijing said:? Yin Pingyang is the secret, and qi is the rule. ? After eating and drinking enough, the human body transports nutrients to all parts of the body through the decomposition and transportation of the spleen and stomach, making the body grow strong and full of vitality. Tangible waste after food digestion is discharged from the front and rear yin. If the yin and yang of the human body keep balance, the human body will be healthy.
Third, the relationship between yin and yang and human qi and blood: the qi in the human body is yang and the blood is yin. Qi here is a subtle substance, which is constantly moving and has strong vitality. It is the most basic substance to maintain human life activities. It is popular in organs of the whole body, meridians and other tissues and organs, and promotes various physiological activities of the human body. The blood here is the basic substance that constitutes the human body and sustains life activities. The theory of TCM health preservation holds that qi is the handsome of blood and blood is the mother of qi. Qi can produce blood, circulate blood and suck blood, and qi and blood are inseparable.
Fourth, the relationship between yin and yang and human pathology: after yin and yang lose their balance, they will show various discomforts and diseases. The ancients also used yin and yang to express and explain the symptoms. Yang syndrome, the general symptoms are: fever, thirst, rapid pulse and so on. This kind of symptom, the ancients also called heat syndrome (that is, yang syndrome). Yin syndrome, the general symptoms are: no fever, no thirst, cold hands and feet, delayed (slow) pulse and so on. This kind of symptom was also called cold syndrome (yin syndrome) in ancient times. This is what Neijing said:? Yang overcomes heat and yin overcomes cold. ?
In addition, Yin-Yang deficiency means that the imbalance between Yin and Yang is lower than the normal level, one of which is lower than the normal level and the other is at the normal level, or both are lower than the normal level to varying degrees, so there is deficiency syndrome. Yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity lead to yin deficiency and internal heat; Yang deficiency is normal yin, and external cold is caused by yang deficiency; If both yin and yang are deficient in different degrees, then deficiency cold and deficiency heat coexist or both yin and yang are deficient. so this is it？ Neijing? Say? Internal heat due to yin deficiency and external cold due to yang deficiency? 、? Deficiency of yin and yang? Certificate.
Application of verb (verb's abbreviation) Yin and Yang in health care: Yin and Yang are the general program of health care. Although there are many kinds of physical discomfort, their attributes are nothing more than yin and yang. For example, from the development position, it is not in the exterior (Yang) but in the interior (Yin); From the nature: non-heat (yang) means cold syndrome (yin); From the development trend: either positive (positive) or deficiency (negative). In a word, Yin He summed up all kinds of uncomfortable attributes. What are the general principles of health care? Adjust yin and yang to balance the period? This is also the basic starting point of health preservation. In view of the ups and downs of yin and yang, we should make up for their shortcomings and drain their surplus, so as to correct the abnormal phenomenon of the ups and downs of yin and yang and restore their relative balance. In daily life, we can use the meaning of yin and yang in medical devices and health products to correct the deviation of yin and yang in human body, so that those who are cold will be hot, those who are hot will be cold, the weak will be supplemented, and those who are real will be diarrhea, nourishing yin and suppressing yang, and nourishing yin and helping yang, so as to achieve? Yin Pingyang is the secret, and the spirit is the rule? .
The human body is an organic whole, and the imbalance of yin and yang will affect the dysfunction of zang-fu organs. When one organ is damaged, other organs will be affected, resulting in imbalance of human body balance. Therefore, in terms of health care, we must pay attention to the overall adjustment and maintenance of the body; We should also pay attention to cleaning up the unfavorable factors in the body as soon as possible, adjusting the balance and supplementing nutrition to achieve the so-called:? Righteousness exists inside, and evil cannot be done. ? The healthy qi here refers to the normal functional activities and disease resistance of the human body, and the evil qi refers to various pathogenic factors. When pathogenic factors act on human body, healthy qi struggles with evil, causing the dispute between evil and right, destroying the balance of yin and yang or making the viscera function abnormal, causing a series of physical discomfort and pathological changes; If the healthy qi is vigorous and the pathogenic factors subside, all kinds of discomforts and diseases will soon tend to improve and recover. If healthy qi is weak and pathogenic qi is strong, the disease will become more and more serious, even worse and worse.
