It is said that when he was killed by Cao Cao, his eyes were still bright and he had black hair! His disciples Upp and Fan A both lived to the age of 100. So what is the secret of Huatuo's health care?
Huatuo attaches great importance to sports and labor training. He said:? The human body has to work, but it should not be extreme. If you waver, you will be cut off. Blood circulation, disease can not be born. For example, the immortality of the household pivot is also true. ? This means that people need to take part in sports (or labor) often, but they should avoid being too tired. Regular exercise can speed up food digestion and make blood circulation unimpeded, so that you won't get sick. Like a door shaft. If used frequently, it will not be stiff and ineffective.
About what? Wuqinxi? There is a story: It is said that Hua Tuo went to Gongyishan to collect herbs when he was young. When he climbed halfway up the mountain, he found a cave. He is curious and wants to go in and have a look. Suddenly I heard someone talking about medical ethics inside, so I stood outside the hole and listened. He listened intently. He heard the two men talking about Hua Tuo, which frightened him. He was about to turn and run away when he suddenly heard a voice calling: Since Watson has come, why not go in and have a chat! ? Hua tuo had to bite the bullet and walk in. It turned out to be two immortals with white hair and beard. They taught Hua tuo many wonderful medical skills and gave him a set of fitness techniques: imitating the posture of tigers, deer, bears, apes and cranes to exercise, which is famous? Wuqinxi? . After Hua Tuo went down the mountain, he followed the instructions, which not only cured many patients, but also improved his health.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, five kinds of animals, tiger, deer, bear, ape and crane, belong to the five elements of fire, water and soil in Jin Mu, corresponding to the five internal organs of heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney. People imitate their own posture to exercise, which indirectly plays a role in exercising viscera. Beyond image, in the atlas? Yeah, yeah. These five animals have different living habits and activities. They are heroic, agile and sensitive, calm and heavy, changing for no reason, or flying high independently. Imitating their various postures can exercise all the joints and muscles of the whole body, just like Warren said. The human body has to work, but it should not be extreme. Shaking, stagnation of grain qi, blood circulation, illness, such as Hu Shu, will never die. It was guided by ancient gods. In order not to get old, bears love their waist and move their joints. ? Here, the principle of action of Wuqinxi is clearly pointed out: through the movement of limbs, qi and blood can be circulated, diseases can be eliminated and life can be prolonged.
Modern medical research has proved that Wuqinxi is an effective way of exercise. It can exercise and improve the function of the nervous system, improve the inhibition and regulation function of the brain, and is conducive to the repair and regeneration of nerve cells. It can improve lung function and heart function, improve myocardial oxygen supply, increase cardiac blood output and promote the normal development of tissues and organs. At the same time, it can also enhance the activity and secretion function of the stomach, promote digestion and absorption, and provide nutrition for physical activities. In Hua Tuo's time, although he didn't understand these truths, it was really remarkable that he could sum up such a set of scientific fitness methods on the basis of long-term experience.
As far as Wuqinxi itself is concerned, it is not a simple set of gymnastics, but an advanced set of health qigong. Hua tuo organically combined the movement of limbs with breathing and breathing, and through the guidance of qigong, the disordered qi and blood in the body returned to normal state and promoted health. Tai Ji Chuan, Xingyiquan, Baguazhang and other fitness exercises in later generations all have certain origins. There is no doubt that its historical role in medical care is enormous.
Because Hua Tuo insisted on practicing? Wuqinxi? His face looks like bronze, his hair is thick, his teeth are firm, he walks steadily and his body is very healthy. Nearly a hundred years old, he is still young, energetic and agile. His disciples Upp, Fan A and others practiced according to law, and lived to be over 90 years old, still hearing and seeing. So, Hua Tuo's longevity is entirely due to? Wuqinxi? Exercise.
