"The Yellow Emperor said," I want to hear about fifty battalions. What should I do? Qi Bo A: Twenty-eight nights a day, thirty-six nights; Popular for a week, 1008 points, 28 nights a day. "-"LingShu? Fifty Camp Here I will focus on a method of breathing and nourishing qi, which is called "Fifty Camp Breathing Method". How to nourish qi through breathing? The Yellow Emperor once asked Zeebe to run according to the astronomical phenomena, running 28 places (28 stars) day and night to the "Fifty Battalion", that is, 50 cycles. A battalion is a week, and a battalion is a week. How many weeks does qi and blood run in the human body? Qi Bo's answer is this: Qi Ying and Stephy's movement in the human body is also "fifty camps" day and night, that is, 50 cycles. A day and night is twelve hours, which means twenty-four hours. We can calculate that breathing a day and night is 270 breaths. Breathing is called "breath" in Huangdi Neijing, and this breath is breathing. 270 breaths, just 50 times when a person runs in the human body. Let's do some calculations. It is recorded in Huangdi Neijing that one breath should be 6.4 seconds.

The spirit of camp guards runs for 50 weeks 24 hours a day. 048? Hours =288? Minute = 1.728 seconds a cycle, 270 breaths (270 breaths) a cycle, converted into one breath (one breath) 6.4 seconds. } You can calculate for yourself, how many seconds is each breath we take now? Let's calm down, look at the watch, measure our breath, take one breath as a cycle, count how many times a minute and how many seconds a cycle is. It used to be 3.3 seconds, which means that our breathing is nearly twice as fast as that of the ancients every 6.4 seconds. What does this mean? What Qi Bo told the Yellow Emperor was that we should breathe slowly. In the human body, it is normal to breathe slowly, and it is necessary to slow down the breathing in order to make it run in line with the flow direction of Qi Ying and Stephy.

When breathing slows down, our pulse will gradually slow down, and the process of human life will also slow down. The slower the progress of life, the longer the life span. Turtles breathe the slowest and move slowly, so they have a long life. It is meaningful for people in today's society to slow down, because the pace of today's society is fast, too fast. I often say to you, I say, why worry? There is nothing to worry about. Although each of us is different and different, there are two things that everyone is the same, and that is our starting point and ending point. There is only one result in life, and everyone has it, and that is death. What's the hurry? What's the hurry? So we should slow down our life, slow down our breathing, slow down the process of life, and learn to appreciate and enjoy the beautiful process of life. Slow breathing is an effective method of invigorating qi. We should try to slow it down to 6.4 seconds and get into the habit. What should I do? Here is a way to breathe forward. Breathing is divided into forward breathing and reverse breathing, and the abdomen naturally rises and falls with breathing, which is forward breathing. Let's see, does the abdomen bulge or contract when exhaling? Is it up or down? Inhale and feel again, is the abdomen bulging or contracting? Do you feel it? By the way, the abdomen bulges when inhaling and contracts when exhaling. This is called front breathing.

Lao Tzu once said that heaven and earth are like bellows. We are also bellows, and we can feel it in our stomachs. People's breath is actually pulling the bellows, and the abdomen bulges and contracts like a bellows. The four requirements of slow breathing are to slow down your breathing, not to take a big breath. At first, you can pay attention to intentional exhalation and inhalation. Gradually, you don't have to care too much about breathing itself. You should focus on the lower abdomen and pay attention to the ups and downs of the abdomen. When rising, the abdomen bulges to the peak, and the contraction is also the peak, which will slow down breathing. Take off and land with some force at the beginning. Gradually, you don't have to exert yourself. It's natural. Similarly, slow breathing should be done 60 times, at least twice a day, and then gradually let it become natural breathing.

There are four requirements for slow breathing: deep, long, even and thin. Take a deep breath, that is, finally inhale and exhale; Long, the time should be lengthened, but also slow down; Even, be symmetrical; Fine is fine, not rough.

These four requirements are consciously put into practice at the beginning, and it will become natural over time. Also pay attention to: "inhale a large piece and exhale a line." Inhale the clear air in the natural environment, and inhale a large piece; Exhale the turbid gas in the body. Exhale slowly, exhale a line. Of course, it is also important to breathe through your nose, not your mouth. At a certain time, you will realize that when you breathe through your nose, the strength of your left and right nostrils may be different, and the inhaled gas may be different; After a period of practice, you will find that the gas between the left and right nostrils circulates there.

This is a way to practice breathing. We all know that yoga, which also pays attention to abdominal breathing, is also a way to practice Qi. There are many methods of regulating interest rate in Huangdi Neijing in ancient China. For example, in "Ancient Innocence", it is said that "nothing is indifferent, and the true qi follows." "Breathe the essence and be independent." Pay great attention to breathing luck. All previous dynasties in China paid attention to pranayama-breathing and breathing methods. The original intention of Qigong is a health-keeping method based on regulating qi, and of course regulating qi can not be separated from regulating shape and mind.

As early as the Warring States period, there was the "Yu Pei Inscription". 1975 In the tomb of prisoners discovered during the excavation of Mawangdui in Changsha, there is a club head with a dodecahedron (see photo). In the twelve faces, a * * * carved forty-five words, describing the essentials of "moving qi", which is the earliest qigong record found in China. According to the famous historian Guo Moruo's explanation: "If you move, you will be angry, and if you keep it, you will be angry;" If it is stored, it will be elongated; If you stretch it, it is fixed; If you set it, it will sprout; When you grow up, it will retreat; It's a day to return it. It's a few days in the sky and a few days underground. Shun is life, and reverse is death. " Inhale deeply when moving qi, the accumulated gas in the body will increase, then inhale downward, pause for a while, and fix the qi in the lower coke; Then slowly exhale, such as the buds of vegetation, grow up, quit in the opposite direction of the downward path, and retreat to the top; That is, exhale slowly until all the dirty gas in the abdomen is spit out. In this way, the cat goes up and the cat goes down. If you follow this trip, you will live, but if you go against it, you will die. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Tao Hongjing of the Liang Dynasty put forward the "six-character formula": "Those who take gas are called suction; Breathing out six things, that is, blowing, shouting, sighing, oh, shush, shush, are all vented ... I will cure the disease, blow away the summer heat, shout out the wind, sigh out the annoyance, sigh out the chill, and be extremely soothing. "

Tao Hongjing in the Liang Dynasty put forward a "six-character formula" in the Record of Cultivating Nature and Prolonging Life in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Tao Hongjing is not only a famous Taoist believer, but also a famous Chinese medicine practitioner. He collected and sorted out the discourses on health preservation in previous dynasties before the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and compiled the Record of Cultivating Nature and Prolonging Life. It records the pronunciation of the six-character formula. There is only one kind of inhalation, but there are six kinds of exhalation. That is to say, six different sounds are made when exhaling: blowing, shouting, hey, oh, shh, shh. Six different sounds can be used to treat diseases. Blowing can get rid of heat, whistling can get rid of wind, sneezing can get rid of annoyance, holding your breath, and silence can drive away cold and relieve extreme stress. Heart disease, cold and heat in the body, can be discharged by blowing two kinds of gas; Lung disease, chest and diaphragm fullness, can be exhaled; Spleen disease, upper body wind, itching and pain, can be abandoned because of choking; Liver disease, anxiety and unhappiness can all be exhaled with breathing. Later, the six-character formula was described in all previous dynasties, and the pronunciation of the six-character formula and its coordination with zang-fu organs also developed and changed a lot.

Chen Zhi put forward seven methods of invigorating qi in Song Dynasty. Chen Zhi said in Qin Shou's Old Books: "First, few words nourish the true qi. Both, abstain from prostitution and nourish essence. Third, thin taste, nourishing blood and benefiting qi. Fourth, relieve sore throat and promote fluid production, and nourish dirty qi. Fifth, don't be angry, nourish the liver. Sixth, diet, nourishing the stomach. Seventh, I want to raise my heart less. " The maintenance of the seven kinds of qi mentioned here is not simply relying on breathing to nourish qi, but combining the adjustment of mind and shape. It shows that nourishing qi is not only to regulate breathing, but also to cooperate with all aspects of people's lives. Only in this way can we master the method of invigorating qi, get the true meaning of invigorating qi, and achieve the purpose of eliminating diseases and prolonging life.

Taoist "Inner alchemy" also has a very effective method in invigorating qi. The essentials and functions of abdominal breathing: when exhaling, slightly lift the perineum (adduction of the lower abdomen, lifting the anus and contracting the kidney), and the diaphragm will rise, thus eliminating turbid qi; When inhaling, gently close your lips, press your tongue to the upper jaw, relax your perineum, and naturally bulge your abdomen. Breathe deeply, thin, evenly and long, strengthen respiratory function and promote pulmonary circulation. At the same time, strengthen abdominal self-massage, improve abdominal blood circulation, enhance gastrointestinal peristalsis, and strengthen food digestion and nutrient absorption. Consciously exhaling is active, naturally relaxing when inhaling, so that the nervous system can be relaxed to the maximum extent.
