Empress Wu Zetian was the first empress in the history of China, and she lived for 8 1 year. Let's not talk about her achievements here, but only her uniqueness in medical care. Wu Zetian is a very caring person, and doctors have also prescribed many beauty secrets for her. There are two famous beauty tips commonly used by Wu Zetian. One is the prescription of motherwort, which was included in the New Materia Medica edited by Su Jing, and later included in the Secret of Foreign Taiwan by Wang Dao. Later, it was also included in medical books by later generations and renamed as Xianyu powder. In Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty, the original name was restored in Compendium of Materia Medica. Motherwort is a good medicine for gynecology, which can be taken orally or used externally. Externally applied to the face, it has the effect of treating dull complexion and removing facial spots and wrinkles; Regular use can make the skin moist and shiny. The specific method of motherwort noodles is to collect motherwort with all the roots and seedlings on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year. The collected motherwort can't bring a little soil, otherwise it will have no effect. Sun-drying the collected motherwort, pulverizing, grinding, adding proper amount of flour and water, concocting into egg-sized pills, sun-drying, and then using yellow mud as a stove with small holes on both sides, putting charcoal fire on the upper and lower layers of the stove, putting pills between the two layers, and igniting and firing. After a big fire, simmer for 24 hours, and you can't put out the fire halfway. The final refined pills should be white and delicate in color. Pills are usually ready to be taken out, then thoroughly cooled, put into a porcelain bowl, ground with a jade hammer (or a staghorn hammer), and then ground, and so on, the finer the powder, the better. Then mix jade powder or cornu Cervi powder into the medicine, then put the medicine in a porcelain bottle and seal it, and then take it out when using it. The preparation of this pill is very particular, including the time of receiving the medicine, the color of the medicine, the temperature during the pharmaceutical process and so on. If it is not done well, the pill will turn black and yellow, and it will lose its efficacy. The main drugs and children who make these pills must strictly follow the requirements in order to make them successfully. Wang Tao said in his notes: at first, washing your face with this medicine will make your hands smooth and your face shiny. Later, you will gradually become rosy. If used for many years, a woman in her forties and fifties will look as young as a woman in her fifties, and Wu Zetian, who is 80 years old, can still maintain a beautiful face, which seems to be related to her frequent use of this beauty secret recipe. Another beauty prescription was prescribed by Zhang Wenzhong, a physician, to Wu Zetian, and it was called "Apply facial fat frequently", which was included in Wang Tao's "Tips for Outside Taiwan". As a beauty product, facial cream was very popular in the Tang Dynasty, which is equivalent to our facial mask today. Different from today, the mask at that time was made of natural medicinal materials. The main ingredients of this prescription are asarum, yam, astragalus, Typhonium Typhonium, Flos Magnoliae, Rhizoma Chuanxiong, Radix Angelicae Dahuricae, Fructus Trichosanthis, Indigoferae Cortex and lard. The preparation method is also very complicated. The medicine should be chopped, then soaked in wine overnight, then fried, and then slowly solidified into facial fat. Rhizoma Dioscoreae Septemlobae, Fructus Trichosanthis and lard have the effects of nourishing yin and moistening skin; Asari, Rhizoma Typhonii, and Flos Magnoliae dispel wind and dredge orifices; Astragalus membranaceus can replenish qi and kidney; Chuanxiong and Indigofera can promote blood circulation and keep moisture. Therefore, this mask can make the skin smooth, wrinkle-free and moisturize after use, and the curative effect is still remarkable. Wu Zetian took Toy Boy as the first object to raise her face. Although there are different opinions, from the point of view of ancient atrioventricular health preservation, if we are harmonious and restrained, we can also achieve the effect of health preservation and longevity, so we can also reveal the reasons for Wu Zetian's longevity from another angle. Among Wu Zetian's favorite young leaders, one is her physician, named Shen Nan, who is young and handsome and knows medical skills, so she is also very favored in front of Wu Zetian. He also said that Wu Zetian's blood gas is weak, and it is very difficult to replenish qi through medicine stone. Yuanyang method should be adopted, and the combination of yin and yang will make blood gas sufficient. Wu Zetian is happy to support her from a medical point of view. Shen Nan's medical skill may not be brilliant, but he is famous for serving the Queen, which is also a miracle in the history of doctors. -There are several ways for men and women to use yang to supplement yin and yin to supplement yang: the theory of using yin to supplement yang is aimed at men, while China's theory of sexual health requires not only using yin to supplement yang to supplement men's bodies, but also using yang to supplement women's bodies, which also reflects how much our ancestors valued gender equality. According to China's theory of keeping in good health, if a woman loses the yin essence during sexual intercourse, it is also bad for her health, while the yang essence of a man has the same effect on women as the yin essence does on men, and it also has an excellent nourishing effect on women. However, whether it is to supplement yang with yin or to supplement yin with yang, it is only effective for people who do sexual intercourse, but it is based on hurting each other after all. Therefore, the practicability and feasibility of this method deserve our deep consideration. True Yuan is a man's natural talent, which is extremely limited. When people run out of this truth, their lives will come to an end. The biggest consumption mode in Zhenyuan is sexual intercourse between men and women. In ancient times, the yang essence released during sexual intercourse was called sympathetic essence, which was closely related to the power of yuan essence. It is precisely because the ancients attached so much importance to the essence of yang that they constantly emphasized that yang should not be lightly discharged. Of course, men are absolutely not allowed, because it means they will lose their vitality. But for the average person, without the last rapid ejaculation, sexual intercourse between men and women will become very boring, and the ancients have a very unique understanding of this. "The Secret of Jade House" wrote: If you move without leaking, your strength will be infinite; If you don't move, you will be smart; Three exercises don't have diarrhea, and many diseases have died out; Four movements are not vented, and five gods are salty; Five movements do not have diarrhea and long blood vessels; Six movements do not have diarrhea and strong back; Seven strokes do not diarrhea, the ass benefits; Diarrhea on the 8 th, body light; Nine fortunes don't diarrhea, and die; Ten moves don't have diarrhea, which leads to immortals. However, in the long run, for the average person, it will also turn from joy to sadness. So the ancients turned their attention to the opponent woman when men had sexual intercourse. They believe that in normal sexual intercourse, women are often in an extremely active position, because she leads men to ejaculate, but while enjoying sexual intercourse, women seem to have no harm to their health. This physiological difference between men and women, on the one hand, leads to men's indignation and regards women as opponents. On the other hand, it leads people to look for factors from women to make up for men's vitality. The conclusion of this search is that when * reaches orgasm, absorbing female vaginal secretions is helpful to men's sexual ability and health, which is also called true yin. The ancients even thought that the more this true yin was absorbed, the better it was for men's health. And it is best to absorb more true yin from different women (note: this view only applies to the era of polygamy in feudal families), because the true yin of the same woman will be absorbed less and less continuously, which is not only not good for men, but also very harmful to women's health. But more imperial women are beneficial to men's health, which is based on the premise that men do not ejaculate during sexual intercourse. Therefore, in the eyes of the ancients, men should live and prolong their lives through intercourse. Not only can they not vent themselves, but they should also take women's yin in time to supplement their yang. It's just that women's true yin is stronger. Only a man who has mastered the art of sexual intercourse can let a woman's true yin leak out and use it for himself. However, the word "collecting yin and nourishing yang" mentioned in "The Art of Sexual intercourse" does not mean that women's vagina is absorbed by external means, but mainly means that men use * to absorb vagina. Before reaching orgasm, men should restrain themselves. He should use the method of controlling spiritual cultivation or the physiological method of pressing the vas deferens with his fingers to prevent ejaculation. Then the combination of his yang qi and the woman's yin qi is enhanced, and it will rise along the spine, nourishing the brain and calming the nerves. such as
