For everyone, the most important thing is to ensure the safety and health of individual life. Therefore, to be born as a human being, the first thing you need to know is the way of health preservation, and the basic function of the way of health preservation in traditional Chinese medicine is to strengthen the body and prevent diseases: first, to prevent the gradual occurrence of diseases; Second, adjust and supplement healthy qi to treat diseases.
The way of keeping in good health in TCM embodies the philosophy of life and wisdom of keeping in good health of the Chinese nation. As early as thousands of years ago, the theory of harmony between man and nature and correspondence between man and nature in traditional Chinese medicine has vividly clarified the relationship of mutual root, mutual use, mutual growth and mutual support of all things, and its outline is the rise and fall of yin and yang, with the aim of the birth and accumulation of the five elements.
In the long history of millions of years of human development, people have deeply realized that in order to ensure the safety and health of life, we must strive to create conditions, while maintaining the balance between yin and yang, transform and adapt to the climate of living environment (and nature) and the changes of yin and yang.
One is to adjust the diet through the reasonable proportion of five grains, five animals, five vegetables and five fruits, and provide the body with balanced nutrition and energy of yin and yang; Second, pay attention to adjusting clothes, living places and using the outside cold, hot, dry and wet winds to provide a space environment with a balance of cold, hot, dry and wet for the body; Third, pay attention to adjust the mentality and emotions to maintain the most subtle harmony between emotions and air and the balance between yin and yang.
To achieve the above three points, the human spirit is in harmony with the outside world, which fundamentally controls and eliminates the external and internal causes of diseases.
In ancient times, people relied on labor to obtain means of subsistence, and because most of the tools used came from nature, they rarely caused pollution to the environment. The Book of Changes says: "To teach the world, use wood as a tool, use wood as a tool and use wood. ..... chopping wood for a boat, chopping wood for a boat, the benefits of the boat will not help. ..... Riding on the back of an ox, drawing the weight away and benefiting the world. ..... Cutting wood is a pestle, digging the ground is a mortar, and the benefits of mortar pestle will benefit the whole people. ..... The string wood is an arc, the chopping wood is an arrow, and the arrow is salty. "
The methods and articles used by the ancients in health care rarely caused harm and pollution to the human body. Once sick, that is to say, when the body is out of balance between cold and heat of Yin and Yang, people will adjust their diet and mood according to the above-mentioned principles of traditional Chinese medicine, and if necessary, they will be assisted by reasonable green, safe and effective health-preserving methods such as acupuncture, stone paving, massage, guidance and herbs to achieve the goal of restoring health.
And how do we modern people do it? Over-exploitation and utilization of the earth's resources, wanton destruction and pollution of the environment, and the mercenary and over-promotion of the modern pharmaceutical industry have prompted people to use a large number of chemicals, thus causing damage and pollution to the human internal environment. By comparing the current human behavior with that of ancient people, we can understand why ancient people are healthier, live longer and happier than modern people.
Health preservation is the knowledge that everyone needs to learn all his life. Only by learning the way of keeping in good health, understanding the operating rules of everything in the universe, understanding the organizational structure and operating mechanism of human life engineering, and understanding the relationship between man and everything in the natural world, and applying these rules to adapt to the climate change in nature and improve the living environment reasonably, can we achieve the purpose of increasing wisdom, preventing and treating diseases, maintaining physical and mental health and prolonging life.
