Man is considered to be the most precious and agile thing in nature, because he has the most complete vitality of Yin and Yang in his innate period. "The anonymous person is strong and famous, unique and most spiritual." This sentence shows that a person does not have to rely on external identity and wealth to express himself, but his character and temperament can naturally be revealed through his unique spirit.
It can be said that the attention and research on innate vitality is the core of Neidan medicine and the cornerstone of its health preservation value. The discussion of innate spirit not only helps to reveal the innate connotation and regularity of life, but also helps to deeply understand the mystery of the internal mechanism of human body.
Inner alchemy of Taoist doctors originated from the above understanding and inner alchemy, and then refined into a higher realm of essence, qi and spirit, namely Yuan Jing, Yuan Qi and Shen Yuan, also known as congenital essence. This is because they have more wonderful functions of "automatic operation and self-improvement".
The relationship between spirit and spirit:
Essence, qi and spirit complement each other and are closely related. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the source of human life is essence, the motive force to maintain life is qi, and the embodiment of life is the activity of God. Therefore, the fine rise is enough and the spirit is prosperous; Deficiency of essence leads to deficiency, while deficiency of qi leads to deficiency of qi.
On the other hand, Wang Shen means full of gas, and full of gas means full of essence. Traditional Chinese medicine evaluates a person's situation from these three aspects, or whether it is good or bad. Therefore, it is reasonable for the ancients to call essence, qi and spirit the "three treasures" of the human body. The ancients said that "essence, qi and spirit die, and qi and spirit die", so it is not difficult to see that "essence, qi and spirit" are the foundation of human life.
