When we talk about Huangdi Neijing, there are many unrelated physiological and pathological things. Just like talking about The Analects of Confucius, Mencius, University and The Doctrine of the Mean, let's take it with us quickly, and I will tell you some dialogues and key things in particular.
The source of Huangdi Neijing Preface is all in the book. How it came from, how it was seen, and what was lost in the middle process, we all have it in the preface. What I want to talk about here is the content of DVD, that is, we will try our best to explain everything related to the human body in Huangdi Neijing for your full understanding.
Let's start today. We will discuss this in the first class. The first chapter of the first chapter is On Ancient Naivety. First of all, he defined "people" from the beginning, and how old we should live. Of course, our life expectancy is not as long as that of the ancients. That's because the environment has changed in all aspects. Sometimes civilization is convenient, but civilization is not necessarily beneficial to people. For example, we have air conditioners everywhere. Before coming to Taipei from Hsinchu, you might have to ride horses, run and walk. Now you can get there by car, with air conditioning and no sweating. Then wait, maybe we don't live as long as the ancients. This is the first one.
Second, because we didn't live much on the earth in the past, unlike people now, there are so many people and billions of people on the earth. To solve the problem of this diet, there must be some food to improve or how it looks, so that there will be large-scale production and everyone can eat well. What about the coarse grains before? Its volume is relatively large and has not been improved. However, if we follow the way of coarse grains, it may be that human beings are not enough to eat. So there will be some improvements. We still have some pesticides, but after the improvement, there will be no pesticides, and some even save pesticides.
For example, corn, corn now, and corn in the United States can't be eaten. Why? Because everyone didn't like pesticides, he planted the spider's genes on corn. When pests and diseases come, spiders specialize in eating locusts, right? When the locusts came, we saw corn. When it saw that it was a spider, it ran away and stopped eating. Then eat this into your stomach. Is it corn or spiders? So this is a ...
The third thing, after improvement, will be smaller in size and thinner in diameter, but now it is nano-sized. The finer it is, it will be addictive if you eat it in your body, that is, one day you will want to eat it. Then we used to eat sugar, and sugar is sucrose, so sucrose is very large. If you eat it, you won't think of eating it all the time. Now it's artificial sugar. Therefore, the life span of modern people cannot be compared with that of previous people. This is the first one, which is diet.
Fourth, our habits, habits in life, before that, life was very simple, there was no electricity, and then this sunrise, sunset and rest, all in the countryside, and then this has no desire and ambition, no famous brand, so everyone pursues it, no, and then this is a very simple life. Really, people's desires and selfish desires will be minimized, so life will be simpler and people will live longer.
According to the definition of traditional Chinese medicine, it is defined as a hundred years old. In ancient times, it was naive to talk about people who were 100 years old, so 100 years old was right. Now, in fact, the real life expectancy is declining, but the health center has released it. In this country, the government has released our longevity, and we always let people know that the government is doing these things for you. In fact, people have been losing their lives. You can see many people who died at a young age. This death doesn't mean this car accident and sudden death, just sick and gone. Then the current mortality rate must be wrong, and it is no longer the correct mortality rate.
In this article, the beginning of ancient naivety, that is to say, Huangdi, whose name is Qi Huang and TCM name is Huang Qizhi, started from Neijing, and the dialogue between Huangdi and Zeebe is Huang Qizhi. Then the Yellow Emperor asked Zeebe why the actions of the ancients did not fail at the age of 100. Now people have been here for half a century and will fail after 50.
The first section is, how do we know, Qi Baishi said, how do we know this "Tao", "the law is in yin and yang, and it is in tricks". Why is it called? This Tao is a hard thing to explain. We will gradually use some principles to let you know what Tao is. Later, many things will be put forward, some of which are metaphysical. Then I'll try to explain it to you.
If a person's appearance is clear from the beginning, it is Tao. Chinese medicine, from beginning to end, if we simplify it, is the word yin and yang. Yin and yang are complicated, and many things come out. After Jane, it is Yin and Yang. We will start with yin and yang, and it will become more and more complicated, and then at the end of the return, it will still be yin and yang. What about Yin and Yang? We discuss the physical properties of Yin and Yang and the relationship between them. These are the so-called places of Tao.
What about us? We have the simplest way to distinguish between yin and yang. For example, if I reach out my hand, you can see my palm, skin, the color of my hand, the number of blood vessels and fingers, and the shapes you can see are all yin. Then you can't see something, but it exists, that is, you don't know how powerful it is You know it has power, maybe ten pounds, maybe five pounds, maybe twenty pounds. So when we look at the shape, we can see the shape, its god, its power, its meridians, our internal meridians, skin color, palm prints, all these, we can see our god.
The hands of the dead must be different from those of strangers. Students of traditional Chinese medicine can't tell the hands of the dead from those of the living. You don't need to learn this because it's very basic. Of course, the sick hand will learn, but when the dead hand looks at it, why? There is no god, only form. The so-called godlessness means that you have no strength, you can't see muscles and blood vessels, you can't see colors, and you can't see the anger of strangers. The simplest explanation is this. As we go deeper and deeper, we will talk about it in more detail.
Let's look at page two. How's this? We are in the same shape as God. In the end, we can enjoy all our years. Therefore, we should not only live long, but also pay attention to form and spirit. What about this god? This is not only our ideal, but our spirit. All spirits mean that people who live long in the world are happy, while those who live short are unhappy. So many, what do you think of many "comedians"? A comedian lives longer, but the person who plays the tragedy lives shorter. Therefore, people should keep a cheerful mood and do not have to fight for many things.
