Specifically point out the method of health preservation: spiritual cultivation; Adjustment of diet and daily life; Adaptation of environmental climate; Physical exercise.
The process of life's birth, growth, decline and aging, as well as the function of fertility, are mainly determined by the rise and fall of kidney qi.
Four different methods and effects of health preservation are given to inspire people to pay attention to health preservation, so as to get rid of diseases and prolong life.
The original text was once in the Yellow Emperor, born as a god, weak and eloquent, young and unbiased, long and sensitive, and successful.
It is appropriate to ask Shi Tian: I heard that ancient people are 100 years old in the Spring and Autumn Period, but their mobility is not diminished; People now, half a century later, have failed in sports, which is different from the times? Will people miss it? Qi Bo said to him, "Those who know the Dharma in ancient times are based on Yin and Yang, and they are based on several tricks. They eat and drink regularly, live regularly and don't work rashly, so they can live in harmony with God, and they live to 100 years old. " . Today's people, on the other hand, take wine as their pulp, are unscrupulous, get drunk in other people's homes, try their best to exhaust their essence, dissipate their truth, and are not satisfied with their feet. They always guard their gods and fast their hearts. Contrary to the joy of life, there are no festivals in daily life, so half a hundred will fail.
Under the guidance of the ancient sages and sages, my husband also called it: to steal the wind from the evil, to avoid the time, to be indifferent to the air, to follow the true qi, and to hide the spirit in it, then you will be ill. It is based on leisure, less desire, peace of mind without fear, perseverance, obedience and desire, and each has his own place. Therefore, eating is beautiful. Let it serve, enjoy its vulgarity and compete with each other. Its people are so simple. Therefore, lust can't satisfy his eyes, lust can't confuse his heart, he is stupid, wise, virtuous, reckless and fearless, so he is in harmony with Tao. Therefore, people who can live to 100 and keep moving are not dangerous because of morality.
The emperor said: how many days will it take for an old man to have no children? Qi Bo said: The seven-year-old woman has full kidney qi and longer teeth. On the 27th, it was late, and her pulse was too strong. The moon is now, so I gave birth to a son, Sanqi, with a general kidney qi. So her real teeth are very long, four or seven, with strong bones and muscles, very long hair and strong body. On the 7 th, Yangming's pulse failed, his face began to burn, and his hair began to fall out. Six, seven, three.
My husband is eight years old, full of kidney-qi, teething, 28 years old, full of kidney-qi, full of heaven, overflowing and diarrhea, and harmonious yin and yang, so he can have children, 38 years old, with normal kidney-qi, and strong bones and muscles, so real teeth are born with teeth, 48 years old, full of bones and muscles, and 58 years old, with kidney-qi failure and tooth loss. Sixty-eight, upper body yang deficiency, burning face, white hair on the temples, seven or eight, liver qi failure, muscle immobility, eight or eight, essence failure, essence deficiency, renal failure, extreme body, then the teeth are sent away. The kidney governs water, and water is hidden by the essence of the five internal organs, so the five internal organs can diarrhea. Today, the five internal organs are failing, the bones and muscles are falling off, and the sky is tired. So the hair is white, the body is heavy, the steps are not straight, and there are no ears.
The emperor said: Who has children when he is old? Qi Bo said: "Life is more than enough, the qi pulse is always open, and the kidney qi is more than enough." . Although there are children, men are only eight or eight, women are only seven or seven, and the essence of heaven and earth is exhausted.
The emperor said: A Taoist can have children at the age of 100. Qi Bo said: People with virtue can be old and stylish, and they can have children even when they are old.
Huangdi Day; It is said that there were real people in ancient times, who nurtured heaven and earth, grasped yin and yang, absorbed essence, kept god independently, and had the same muscles, so they could live a long life in heaven and earth, and this is the living method.
In the Middle Ages, there were people who were all-powerful in virtue, harmonious in Yin and Yang, four seasons in tune, died of vulgarity, concentrated their attention, traveled between heaven and earth, extended their audio-visual reach and benefited for a lifetime, and the strong were also real people.
Secondly, there are: saints, the unity of heaven and man, starting from the eight winds principle, are secular, angry with the sky, unwilling to die, serve the seal, unwilling to see the vulgar, do not work hard outside, have no thoughts inside, take pleasure as a service, take self-satisfaction as a contribution, have a good figure and good spirit, which can also be counted.
Secondly, there are sages who follow the laws of heaven and earth, such as the image of the sun and the moon, distinguish the stars, keep yin and yang, and contract with the Tao since ancient times, which can also prolong life and make great achievements.
The former Yellow Emperor was born smart, and he was very good at talking when he was very young. When he was young, he quickly grasped the things around him. When he grew up, he was honest and diligent, and became the son of heaven as an adult. He asked Qi Bo: I heard that people in ancient times were over 100 years old and showed no signs of aging; Now people are only half a century old, but their movements are very weak. Is this caused by different times, or is it because people nowadays can't keep in good health? Qi Bo replied: People who knew the way of keeping in good health in ancient times were able to adapt to the natural changes of Yin and Yang in heaven and earth and reconcile the method of keeping in good health to the correct standard. Moderate diet, regular work and rest, neither rushing to work, but also avoiding excessive sexual intercourse, can be harmonious and unified, live to a natural age, and die at the age of 100; People nowadays are not like this. They regard wine as water slurry, drink too much, make abnormal life a habit, get drunk and indulge, exhaust the yin essence because of wanton indulgence, dissipate the true qi because of satisfying hobbies, carelessly keep the essence full, are not good at controlling the spirit, but pursue the instantaneous agility of the mind, which violates the laws of life and work, so they will age in half a century.
In ancient times, when teaching ordinary people, people who knew the way of keeping in good health always talked about evil spirits such as deficiency, evil and thieves. They should avoid them in time, be quiet and carefree, get rid of other thoughts and delusions, make the true qi unobstructed, and hide their spirits inside, so that diseases will not happen. Therefore, people can feel at ease, have little desire, be emotionally stable and not anxious, and be not tired of physical labor, and adjust their true qi so that everyone can get what they want. Everything people eat is sweet, and they are satisfied with everything they wear. Everyone loves their own customs and lives happily, and they don't admire each other regardless of their social status, so these people can be called unpretentious. Therefore, any improper lust will not attract their attention, and anything immoral or improper will not confuse their minds. No matter stupid, smart, capable or weak, they will not be tempted and anxious because of changes in external things, so they are in line with the way of health preservation. The reason why they can not age over 100 years old is precisely because they understand and master the method of self-cultivation and are not disturbed and hurt by internal and external evils.
The yellow emperor said: people are old and can't have children. Is it because of exhaustion of energy, or is it limited by natural laws? Qi Bo said: When a woman reaches the age of seven, her kidneys are full of vitality, her deciduous teeth change and her hair begins to flourish. At the age of fourteen, Tiangui was born, and her pulse was smooth and strong, and her menstruation came on time, so she had the ability to have children. Twenty-one-year-old, full of kidney qi, born with real teeth and full teeth. Twenty-eight years old, strong bones and muscles, hair grows to the most lush stage. The body is strongest at this time. At the age of thirty-five, Yang Ming's meridian qi and blood gradually weakened, his face began to haggard and his hair began to fall off. At the age of forty-two, the Sanyang meridian was weak in qi and blood, with a haggard face and hair turning white. Forty-nine years old, Ren pulse is weak in qi and blood, and Tai Chong is also weak in qi and blood. Tiangui is exhausted, menstruation is cut off, the body is aging, and fertility is lost. When a man is eight years old, his kidneys are full, his hair begins to flourish, and his deciduous teeth are replaced. Sixteen-year-old, full of kidney qi and overflowing with natural qi, so he can have diarrhea and have children during sexual intercourse. Twenty-four years old, full of kidney qi, strong bones and muscles, full of real teeth. Thirty-two years old, plump and strong. At the age of forty, kidney qi declined, hair began to fall off and teeth began to wither. At the age of forty-eight, the sun was fading, his face was gaunt and dull, and his hair was gray at the temples. At the age of 56, the liver qi was weak and the activities of tendons and veins were inflexible. At the age of sixty-four, Tiangui was exhausted, with little essence, renal failure, tooth loss and physical fatigue. The kidney controls water and collects the essence of other viscera, so the five zang-organs function vigorously and the kidney can excrete essence. Now I am old, my five internal organs are failing, my bones and muscles are flabby, and my life is exhausted. Therefore, the hair and temples are white, the body is heavy, the pace is unstable, and children cannot be born. The Yellow Emperor said: Some people can still have children when they are old. What is the truth? Qi Bo said: This is because his natural energy exceeds that of ordinary people, his qi and blood meridians remain unblocked, and his kidney qi is full. Although such people have fertility, men are generally not over 64 years old and women are generally not over 49 years old, and their essence is exhausted. The yellow emperor said: people who master the way of keeping in good health can live to 100 years old, and can they still have children? Qi Bo said: People who master the way of keeping in good health can protect themselves from old age. Although old, you can have children.
It is said that there was a man named Zhenren in ancient times who mastered the law of the change of Yin and Yang in heaven and earth, and was able to adjust breathing, absorb pure breath, get rid of solitude, hide his spirit in it, and exercise, so as to achieve a high degree of coordination between bones and muscles and the whole body. Therefore, his life span is as endless as that of heaven and earth, which is the result of his cultivation. In the Middle Ages, there was a man named Zhiren, who was morally upright, could fully master the way of keeping in good health, adapt to the changes of Yin and Yang, leave the interference of secular social life, accumulate the essence, concentrate on keeping himself away from the vast world and nature, and keep his visual and auditory attention away from all directions. This is the way to prolong life and keep fit, and such people can also belong to the ranks of real people. Secondly, there are people called saints, who can live in the normal environment of heaven and earth, abide by the Eight Winds Law, make their desires correspond to the secular society, have no feelings of anger and resentment, do not leave the universal norms of the secular world, wear clothes decorated with ordinary patterns, and do not show off their behavior in secular places. Outside, he is not physically exhausted by things, including, without any ideological burden, with quiet and happy as the purpose and carefree as the satisfaction. Secondly, there are people called sages, who can follow the changes of heaven and earth, the ups and downs of the sun and the moon, obey the ups and downs of yin and yang, adapt to the changes of the four seasons, and make their lives conform to the way of keeping in good health. Such people can also increase their life span, but sometimes they will end.
