There was a farmer in the Song Dynasty who had to spend the winter in coarse cloth because of his poor family. As soon as the sun came out, he ran outside to bask in the sun. There is an idiom called "the mystery of the negative sun", which is "sunbathing" in today's words.
The ancients called sunbathing negative sunbathing, also known as negative sunbathing and negative sunbathing, which was highly praised by health-preserving people in past dynasties. In fact, some people interpret this as "longevity wisdom" learned from turtles.
Turtles are cold-blooded animals, but their life span is very long, which is related to their habit of drying their backs. This skill is worth learning.
So some people come to the conclusion that the yang of human body comes from the light of the sun. The ancients had a lot of experience in sunbathing, and concluded that sunlight is the most natural tonic to protect the yang.
02. Why turn your back on the sun?
From the perspective of Chinese medicine, "the back is yang, and the heart and lungs govern it." There are many important acupoints on the back, which are important barriers to human health. Once you catch a cold, it will affect your heart and lung health. Sitting with your back to the sun and letting the yang be transported to your whole body through the acupoints on your shoulders and back can force out the cold in your body. Yang Qi permeates the whole body and is good for health.
Studies have shown that the human body can produce many beneficial physiological effects under the sunlight and various rays. Adequate sunshine can raise the temperature of the skin and improve the blood circulation of the skin, which is very beneficial to the growth of skin tissue and the treatment of joint swelling and pain. Visible light has certain sedative, analgesic and spasmolytic effects.
03. Is sunbathing suitable for everyone?
"Sun-drying the back" is suitable for people of any constitution, and has the functions of warming meridians and dredging collaterals and consolidating Yang Qi. Children can't grow up without sunshine, young people can't keep fit without sunshine, and old people can't improve their immunity without sunshine.
04. When is the best time to dry your back?
Many people who are willing to keep in good health know that drying their backs is also exquisite, especially in the dog days of summer. But only once a year, can't you keep healthy in this way at other times?
It's not fully warmed up. In early spring, I pay attention to "covering" and can't expose my body at will. Besides, many places are not only cold in winter, but also rainy. I can't see the sun all day. What's there to say about drying my back?
Don't worry, you can bask in the sun at home on rainy days and keep healthy!
05, "borrow" the sun be the spirit from the sky
The Du meridian on the back is like a "power plant" of the human body. God of light Bader, shining on the Du meridian in the back and stimulating the Du meridian, can invigorate the yang of the human body, dredge the meridians, and make the qi and blood smooth. "Little Sun" gives your "power plant" some energy. Bader, the god of light, uses different bands of light in natural light to cover a wider range of human body and bring many benefits to the body. It is a good choice for scientific back drying!
In order to avoid sunburn, you need proper protection. One moment I'm afraid of tanning, the other moment I'm afraid of sunburn. Budd, the god of light, tells you to get rid of these troubles and get rid of the frightening ultraviolet rays. No matter how you bask in it, it won't hurt your skin. Continuous heating will not burn the skin.
Insist on sunbathing deliberately every day, and the effect will gradually appear. Maybe one year, maybe ten years, when your peers are tired and old, you are still sunny, healthy and energetic. You will know how amazing this small way of "borrowing" yang from the sky is!
