Traditional Chinese medicine culture is an outstanding representative of the excellent traditional culture in ancient China. The excellent ideas of traditional Chinese medicine, such as "Taoism is natural", "harmony between man and nature", "yin and yang are complementary" and "human life is the most precious", contain rich philosophies and have a far-reaching impact on China people's outlook on life and health preservation and self-cultivation. Look at these 30 wise sayings of self-cultivation and health preservation. First, health 1 full lying down is sick. Interpretation: Lie down when you are full. When food stops gathering, it will not be digested, but will accumulate and stagnate. Qi stagnation is not good, spleen and stomach are injured, and all diseases are caused by the accumulation of qi and blood and phlegm. 2 running water does not rot, and the household shaft does not bite. So is Qi. If the shape does not move, the essence will not flow, and if the essence does not flow, the qi will be depressed. Interpretation: Running water will not rot and stink, and the revolving door shaft will not rot because it is constantly moving. The same is true of human body and essence. When the body is inactive, the essence in the body will not run, and the essence will not run, and the qi will stagnate. That is, people often say that life lies in exercise. After dinner, drink a cup of tea, walk a hundred steps and rub your navel with your hands. Interpretation: The ancients paid attention to health after meals since ancient times. It is mentioned here that there are three things to do after dinner, namely, drinking tea, walking and rubbing your stomach. If you can persist in doing it for a long time, it is good for your health. Get up early before the crow, and get up late after sunrise. Interpretation: Chinese medicine believes that people's work and rest should conform to the laws of physiological work and rest. Cao Tingdong, a health expert in the Qing Dynasty, believes that it is a principle of Yin and Yang to work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and to move by day and be quiet at night. He also pointed out that getting up early is not before crows. The early arrival of Gaiyin (3 am) is the beginning of lung qi, so it is advisable to sleep soundly. You can't get up until dawn (5 am) when you enter the large intestine. Get up at sunrise (7: 00 a.m.) for morning exercise and eating, and don't stay in bed. The morning should be between these two times. 5 Yang in spring and summer, Yin in autumn and winter. Interpretation: the qi of yin and yang in the four seasons is the foundation of all things. According to this, the ancients will nourish yang in spring and summer, replenish yin in autumn and winter, and keep the foundation of yin and yang at four seasons, and live and grow together with everything. If it violates this fundamental principle, it will damage its origin and destroy its true spirit. These are the purposes of seasonal adjustment. Six teeth, poor bones, teeth were cut by the court, teeth are not dental caries. Interpretation of Essentials of Health Care: "Tight teeth" is a symbol of health and longevity, and knocking teeth is an ancient health care method circulating in China. The kidney dominates the bone, and the teeth are a part of the bone just like the kidney. Dental caries do great harm to teeth. People peck between the upper and lower teeth in the mouth every morning, which means that every tooth corresponding to the upper and lower teeth pecks at each other, which can reduce the harm of dental caries and maintain the health of teeth. Seven grains are for nourishment, five stores are for help, five dishes are for supplement, and five fruits are for benefit.

People who are good at nourishing nature eat first and drink first when they are thirsty. They eat less and don't want to eat more. I often want to fill my hunger, and my hunger fills my ears. Interpretation: People who are good at self-cultivation know how to eat when they are hungry and drink when they are thirsty. The more times you eat, the less food you eat, the less times you don't want to eat, and the more food you eat. If you want to eat often, you will feel full, and if you are hungry, you will eat a lot. This sentence is equivalent to what we call eating less and eating more, and eating when you are hungry is more conducive to digestion and absorption. 9 Qin medicine heart, anther liver, fragrant medicine spleen, stone medicine kidney, aphrodisiac medicine lung, sword medicine gallbladder.

Don't wear too thin in summer and too thick in cold weather. Clothes should adapt to the external climate and not be too extreme.

The desire for cold is getting stronger and stronger, and the desire for heat is getting weaker and weaker.

Interpretation: Sun Simiao believes that the way to cultivate the mind lies in neutralization, which should not be excessive or violent. If you have something you love deeply, don't invest too much.

China's theory of health preservation in past dynasties emphasized nourishing the mind and calming the spirit. People with a quiet mind are increasingly rich in essence and healthy in body; People who are restless lose their essence day by day, and their bodies are gradually aging. 6 things should be adapted, and things are too peaceful, which can prolong life. Interpretation of "Shou Shi Bao Yuan": Let the real things go with the flow, and don't worry after the incident, so as to achieve inner peace and prolong life. 7. If you are peaceful, your feelings about things are light. If you are peaceful, what you have to do is to be smooth, be light outside and be smooth inside, and be prepared physically. Interpretation of Su Shen and Liang Fang: Su Dongpo, a litterateur in the Song Dynasty, believes that people are born with the words "peace" and "harmony", which means meditation and "harmony" means contentment. Pursuing peace makes me light when foreign objects touch me, and advocating harmony makes me feel comfortable when I feel foreign objects, and then I get the true meaning of life.

Wanting too much will interfere with your sober use of wisdom. If you have too many things, you will feel physically tired. Third, health care 1 health care, not before diet. Weng Shan's interpretation outside the text: it means that health preservation should start with a reasonable diet, "medicine and food are homologous" and "medicine is not as good as food". Eating the right food is more useful than elixir of life. Essence, qi and spirit are called three treasures by health experts. Interpretation: Chinese medicine believes that essence, qi and spirit are the three treasures of the human body, and essence, qi and spirit are the basis of health and longevity.

People should seize the opportunity of middle age when their vitality is not great, make serious adjustments, let their vitality return to normal, and consolidate their basic body. It is normal for people that spring grows in summer and autumn harvests in winter. A day is divided into four hours, morning is spring, day is summer, day is autumn, and midnight is winter.

Ancestors believed that people lived between heaven and earth and lived in harmony with nature. When nature changes, the human body will change with it. Only by conforming to nature can people live longer. Health care should not only adapt to the changes of the four seasons, but also adapt to the changes of the four seasons in a day. 6 juvenile love, to converge, can be virtuous; The feelings of the elderly can be preserved if they want to be rich and not depressed. ("Caigen Tan") Interpretation: Young people's feelings hope to converge rather than be bold and carefree, and they can be strict with themselves; The feelings of the elderly should be unrestrained and carefree, not repressed, so as to cultivate their own lives.
