Therefore, Taoism should be the earliest method of meridian practice in China, and its "Daoism" principle has gradually evolved into Taoist inner alchemy practice and Buddhist tantric three-pulse seven-wheel practice. It refers to the establishment of Ren Du's two meridians and the whole body's great circulation as a day and a week to get through the human body, and the peristaltic tissue fluid and metabolic waste as "internal elixir", which is the earliest self-establishment method of meridian medicine.
Among them, the method of "induction" tries to stimulate the circulation of interstitial fluid and metabolic waste in human meridians through the traction of the limbs where the meridians are located, so as to achieve the effects of treating diseases, preserving health and prolonging life. However, due to the loss of its meridian stimulation method, it has gradually changed into a health care method to strengthen the body.
The specific methods to guide health preservation are clearly recorded on the jade silk unearthed in Mawangdui, such as: "Qi is deep, and it is stretched when hidden?" Shun leads to life, and reverse leads to death. "This in itself is a method and process of establishing a meridian circulation system.
In addition to self-starting and establishing meridians, the guiding technique also means moving essence and transforming qi, which is called "regulating qi" therapy.
In the Song Dynasty, Su Shi pointed out in Dongpo Zhi Lin: "People who learn to keep in good health, while being satisfied, can vent their anger on others ... This is the so-called" venting ". Qi-dividing method is a special method to promote the circulation of meridians by establishing vibration contact with the founders of meridians in the process of transforming essence into qi, which has a good effect on treating diseases and prolonging life.
Among them, "Su Wen? Turning essence into qi said: "I have heard about the ancient rule, but I wish to turn essence into qi." ".You Zhu, as pointed out in this paper, is a method to exercise essence and change qi by vibrating qi distribution meridians, which requires higher requirements for the performer, but the operation is simple and the effect is more magical. Among them, "willing by" is to establish a conditioned reflex relationship between meridian initiation and "by" (etiology). Ancient real people, saints and others used spells and incense to start their own meridian circulation, so that they could quickly establish synchronous vibration contact with others, thus inducing the meridian circulation of the affected part and expelling "qi and blood" substances from the body, thus achieving the purpose of treating diseases and saving lives and exorcising evil spirits.
Therefore, the Taoist method of inner alchemy itself is a method of establishing meridians with low-order transfer of essence and qi.
