Chinese medicine/medicine/speech/speech/cavity/health care/health preservation of ancient people's thoughts. Good teeth are good for health. Health contributes to longevity (1). In the centuries BC, the ancients began to brush their teeth with Yang Liuzhi. (2) In the Book of Rites in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a record of "chicken crowing and salt gargling", which showed that the ancients had realized the importance of gargling to oral hygiene. (3) The "willow branches" mentioned in Gao Shi 'an's translation of "Bathing Monks in Warm Houses" in the Eastern Han Dynasty is a toothbrush in which one or both ends of the willow branches are flattened into a brush shape. (4) Meng Xian recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica Dietotherapy; Eat more sugar, eliminate muscles and damage teeth. (5) Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, advocated "getting up 300 times in the morning". (6) Sun Simiao's "Health Book" records; "A plate of porridge in the morning, don't teach enough at night. Play Jingyang bell and knock your teeth 36. " (7) In the Song Dynasty, Yang Zhai proposed that "everything is healthy, let alone." To maintain human health, we must first ensure the normal oral function. (8) China's first monograph on nutrition, Drinking is Right, is recorded; "Qing Dan brushed his teeth with salt, and his teeth were toothless." (9) Li Shizhen recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica in Ming Dynasty; "Willow branches dispel wind, reduce swelling and relieve pain, and their tender buds are cut into bud branches, which is wonderful for picking teeth." (10) Li Shizhen thinks that saliva has important functions such as promoting digestion and absorption, irrigating internal organs, nourishing yin and reducing fire, promoting fluid production and tonifying kidney, moistening skin and hair, and smoothing joints and orifices.

(12) Zhang Jiebin, a medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty, wrote down his experience in protecting and strengthening teeth in the Book of the Pure Moon; In ancient times, there was a saying that knocking teeth in the morning was feasible, but the vibration of the valley was not the best way. Because of fatigue and alcohol, I also feel that my teeth are crooked, but gently bite them, so that they gradually bite down, or once or twice a day, or two or three times, and the roots are self-solidified. In addition, if you want to relieve food, you must first bite off the root and then solve it. Then the kidney qi also depends on it, which not only fixes the essence, but also fixes the teeth. So it's great to have more than a few years, and no teeth are damaged. (13) The longevity experience introduced in "Essentials of Dental Restoration" is "Knock your teeth 36 times every morning when you wake up". (14) In Huangdi Neijing, "Spleen belongs to body fluid and kidney belongs to body fluid", which shows that body fluid is closely related to spleen and kidney.
