The Yellow Emperor asked Qi Bo, "Every method of stabbing must come from God first. Blood, pulse, camp, qi and spirit are still hidden in the five internal organs. What about those who have lost their virginity, their souls, their senses and their desire to leave their bodies? What about the sin of heaven? Too many people? What are morality, qi, life, essence, spirit, soul, spirit, mind, mind, ambition, thinking, wisdom and consideration? Please tell me the reason.

Qi Bo answered: Heaven is in my virtue, and the earth is in my spirit. Virtue is thin, and the living are also. Therefore, being born for it is called essence; The struggle between two essences is called God; People who follow their desires are called souls; Those who are refined, those who come in and out, are called the spirit; Therefore, let the thing be called the heart; The heart has the meaning of remembering; Ambition of meaning; The idea of changing because of ambition; Because of thinking, I am eager to worry; Taking care of things is wisdom.

Therefore, the health care of the wise must also be compatible with cold and heat in four seasons, harmonious in feelings, and both rigid and soft. If so, the deviant evil will not come, and you will live a long life. See.

So people who worry will hurt their spirits, and spirits will hurt their spirits, and fear will not stop. Those who were moved by sadness were exhausted and lost their lives. Those who are happy dare not part or hide. Those who are worried can't do it because of qi resistance. Angry people are confused and die. God is afraid of those who are afraid and will not accept them.

Huangdi asked Qi Bo: The application of general principles of acupuncture and moxibustion must be based on human life activities. Because blood, pulse, camp, qi, essence and spirit belong to the material and motive force of life-sustaining activities hidden by the five internal organs. If the seven emotions are excessive and separated from the internal organs, then the essence will be lost, the soul will fly, the will will will be lost, and the ability to think and decide will be lost. What is the reason?

Is it a natural disaster or a human error? What are morality, qi, life, essence, spirit, soul, spirit, mind, mind, ambition, thinking, wisdom and consideration? Ask the truth.

Qi Bo replied: God-given "virtue" (such as natural climate, sunshine, rain and dew, etc. ), and the earth gives people "qi" (such as the goods on the ground). Therefore, due to the decline of virtue, the exchange of earth and air, the combination of yin and yang, everything can be transformed and people can survive. The initial substance of human life is called essence; Male and female copulation, the vitality formed by the combination of two sperm, is called god; The spiritual activity that follows the air is called the soul;

The innate instinct to obey the essence is called spirit; After leaving the mother's body, the dominant life activity is called the heart; What is remembered in the heart and undecided is called meaning; The idea has been considered and decided, which is called ambition; Thinking repeatedly according to ambition is called thinking; The range of thinking from near to far is called worry; It is called wisdom to deal with it decisively after consideration.

Therefore, smart people must obey the changes of the four seasons to adapt to the cold and warm climate, avoid excessive emotions, pay attention to normal eating and living, control the bias of yin and yang, and adjust rigid and flexible activities. This will make it difficult to attack the evil spirits of the four seasons and make you live a long life.
