1. Not eating in the afternoon is a Buddhist (specialized) term, and there is no such thing as "not eating in the afternoon" in Taoism (it is another matter for Taoism to pursue self-cultivation, practice and practice with reference to Buddhism); At that time, the Buddha made a diet and daily life commandment for monks. More technically, it is said that eating is not appropriate in season (it is stipulated that no food is allowed from noon to dawn the next day! ! ! ); Of course, Buddhism and Dharma are integrated, and special circumstances are treated differently-except for people with special physiological needs (such as patients).
2. Chinese medicine does not advocate "not eating in the afternoon". Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow and the source of qi and blood biochemistry. Eat three meals a day on time, do not overeat, and protect the spleen and stomach.
Modern diet is diversified, and people are tired of life and work. Inevitably, I will be too hungry, eat on time (the hunger will disappear after a while), and even eat supper (personally, I am extremely disgusted with supper and cold cups-I have to work overtime to digest my stomach after a tired day, so how can I not suffer from gastritis, ulcers and other upper digestive tract diseases over time! ! ! ) for a long time, it is easy to cause spleen and stomach weakness. From this point of view, it is reasonable not to eat after noon. Eating on time and without overeating is quite in line with the essence of traditional Chinese medicine and the way of health preservation.
4. digression-monks (including Taoists) do not waste this life and seek the right path. Buddhism and Taoism have been an important part of China's traditional culture since ancient times, saying that they are narrow-minded in order to live forever. They help the world with the right path, and they are ascetic in the world, and the workload is not small. Now the world is going from bad to worse, and the nation has lost its faith (is it sad? ), everyone is ignorant and fearless, constantly breaking through the moral bottom line. Therefore, there are many things for quick success and instant benefit, and there is no other way but to correct the deviation of faith!
I don't care if it's adopted. The important thing is not to follow the trend. It is best to have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of a person or a thing, not just pointing fingers on the surface.
