"Conforming to nature" in the concept of TCM health preservation, disease prevention and treatment
Text/Zhang Liping Health is an ideal state, but also an idea. Man is a part of nature, but I don't know when he is getting farther and farther away from nature. Probably, the relationship between man and nature has changed to some extent: man and everything originally belonged to nature, but now it has reversed, because man gradually gained the initiative in the struggle with nature and naturally became the nature that man wanted to transform and even dominate. The power of human beings to transform nature has increased, and their compliance with nature has decreased. The same is true in the medical field. From the ancient medical model of God to the ancient medical model of natural philosophy, medicine at that time was closely related to nature, whether it was awe of mysterious natural forces or obedience to natural laws. However, the modern biomedical model and the contemporary "bio-psychological-social" medical model have gone further and further on the road of reductionism, and there is no shadow of "nature". In a sense, people's natural attributes can be attributed to biological and animal attributes, and then to physical and chemical attributes. Using the path and methodology of physical and chemical research, it can not be concluded that this is the only path and the only scheme. Moreover, people not only have biological attributes (but also social attributes and humanistic attributes). Zhang Daqing said: "After all, human life and disease are not an onion, which can only be cut with a knife. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which has come out of the medical model of ancient natural philosophy, has gone deep into the road of human natural attributes, which is just beyond the reach of modern medicine, at least for now. Looking at the "self" with holistic thinking and broad vision, modern science has studied the essence and functional characteristics of human life by means of reduction and decomposition, which has developed from tissue, organs, cells and molecules to the level of genes, and has made great achievements in the fields of life science and medicine. However, it is not the only way to know people. When we turn our eyes from the inside of the human body to the outside, we will find that man is unbreakable. Man can be not only a human body, but also a creature, but a natural person who is naturally connected with heaven and earth. Man is born of nature and is the product of nature. People come from nature and live in the stream of natural time. Understanding people from nature should also be an essential path. How to help the "vital qi" of human body with the help of natural qi is a great way to preserve health and prevent diseases, but modern people full of various "scientific research ideas" don't think so. Let's talk about health first. Our ancestors have always advocated physical and mental cultivation, paying special attention to the recuperation of essence, qi and spirit. One of the most important paths is "keeping pace with the times", including the adjustment of mentality, daily life, behavior, diet and so on. However, modern people do not pay attention to these. For example, in diet, all kinds of vegetables, fruits and vegetables are available in four seasons, and the seasons are gradually blurred. People no longer pay attention to seasons, but talk about nutrients-breaking a whole food, separating nutrients such as sugar, lipids, protein, vitamins, inorganic salts, water and cellulose, and talking to our bodies. Song Tian's "We just don't need protein" said: "After what we eat has changed from food to nutrients, our traditional culture has lost its right to speak on the basic question of' what should we eat'. "Food is a gift from nature and an intermediary between man and nature. Nature has hints about what our bodies need and what they don't need. Another example is the problem of sleep time. According to scientific theory, it is about 6-8 hours, which is based on the premise of relieving fatigue and doing a good day's work and study. Traditional Chinese medicine has no fixed time standard, telling people to follow the ebb and flow of yang in the four seasons, that is, lying in spring and summer and getting up early, lying in autumn and getting up early in winter, which is a basic routine. More like exercise, modern sports physiology research believes that the metabolic rate of human body and the activity of hormones in the body are in the best state from afternoon to night, when the flexibility and flexibility of the body, the adaptability of the body and the sensitivity of nerves are the best, and evening is a good time for exercise; Traditional Chinese medicine looks at this problem from the perspective of "harmony between man and nature", and thinks that morning is the time for people to prosper, while the yang in the west is already very weak, so people should restrain themselves from resisting evil spirits, not to mention disturbing their bones and muscles and consuming yang. With the pace of the times, people's lifestyles and eating habits, whether active or passive, have indeed changed a lot, and it is no longer possible to simply talk about right and wrong, which is better or worse. These examples are just to recall the instinct of being close to nature that people have gradually lost. Let's talk about the disease. There are many kinds of diseases. According to the International Classification of Diseases ICD- 10 issued by the World Health Organization, there are tens of thousands of disease names, and new diseases are still being discovered or occurred. Although the diseases of the human body are various and ever-changing, in the view of traditional Chinese medicine, there are no syndromes such as eight classes, viscera, defending qi and nourishing blood, triple energizer, six meridians, meridians, five movements and six qi. On the other hand, from the relationship between the onset and the weather, diseases can be divided into two categories: one is related to the weather and the other is unrelated to the weather. The former is a disease that is suitable for "changing with time". Clinically, if doctors can sensitively grasp the relationship between "time" and "disease", they can often differentiate syndromes more accurately and get twice the result with half the effort. As a doctor, although it is needless to say that "I don't know the increase of years, the rise and fall of qi, and the role of excess and deficiency", it is not difficult to find that all doctors who can be called great doctors are good at grasping the opportunity of human recovery. By the same token, anyone who is good at keeping in good health knows how to keep pace with the times. When Mr. Lu Guangshen, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, was alive, he especially loved to talk about the way of keeping in good health, and once brilliantly summed up the way of keeping in good health in traditional Chinese medicine: follow the way of keeping in good health, help the spirit of keeping in good health, use the device of keeping in good health, and take the way of keeping in good health. Follow the way of life "is the concept of TCM health preservation, and it is the concept of TCM health preservation, disease prevention and treatment."
