The original meaning of music: the first king was romantic and respected virtue.
The glyph of "Le" seal script is that there is a musical instrument above and a wooden bracket below. Duan Yucai, a great scholar in Qing Dynasty, believed that the glyph on the seal script of "Le" was a drum in the middle and drums on both sides. He also thought: there are many musical instruments, why use drums to express "music" only? Duan Yucai believes that this is because "drums are the sound of the vernal equinox. Yiyue. Thunder came out of the ground to prepare for it. The late king worshipped virtue with pleasure. That's what it means. " It means that the sound made by the drum represents the sound at the vernal equinox, symbolizing that sages lead the creation of music in order to respect and carry forward virtue. It can be seen that music is also closely related to "virtue" in its original meaning, not the voice of decadence, but the voice of great virtue.
Confucius' Music: Music Education
In The Book of Rites, Zhong Ni Yan Ju recorded that Confucius thought: "Those who are polite are reasonable; Happy people are also frugal. A gentleman is rude and immovable. Can't poetry, in the ceremony; Can't be happy, Yu Lisu; Thinner than virtue, less than courtesy. "
Music has become a very important part of Confucius education. In The Analects of Confucius, Confucius believes that humanistic education is based on "poetry, ceremony and music", that is to say, the fashion education of a person, a family and a society depends on "poetry education" and can finally be established by "ethics".
Confucius himself received a good music education and had a high musical accomplishment. According to the Records of History of Han Poetry and Historical Records of Confucius, Confucius once "exhausted Wei" and "recited by taking the instrument"; Once "visited Changhong" and "learned from Guqin".
Because Confucius had such upbringing, he also had a deep understanding of expressing people's hearts through music. Therefore, Confucius can truly adhere to the correct and noble music proposition, that is, "you can know elegance by listening to string songs." When "Qi Wenshao didn't know the taste of meat in March" and "sleepy", Confucius clearly told his disciple Yan Yuan that "chaos is evil, and elegant music is also good". After listening to the musician "Zhi" playing in Shandong, he said "chaos in Guanluo"
It can be seen that the health preservation of music should first be a learning process, and personality will be sublimated in learning and improving. "Preface to Poetry" said: "Emotion moves in China, and form is in words. Not enough, so I lament. Lament for lack, so sing forever. There are no eternal songs, so I don't know how to dance with my hands. I can dance with my feet. " Music and dance is the expression and display of people's true feelings and true cultivation, and music health preservation is a kind of cultivation kung fu in the final analysis.
"Five Tones" in Traditional Chinese Medicine: A Tool for Emotional Rehabilitation
As early as more than 2000 years ago, our ancients had used "music" to treat diseases. For example, it is mentioned in Huangdi Neijing that "You Zhu" means to cure diseases and eliminate evil through magic.
I wish you-give the sound sacred healing power.
In Su Wen's "On Turning Essence into Qi", the Yellow Emperor asked Qi Bo, "I only want to turn essence into Qi when I know the ancient rule." That is to say, I heard that in ancient times, treating diseases only changed and transformed people's spirit and qi and blood, and diseases could be cured by a method called "You Zhu". Qi Bo's answer pointed out that in ancient times, the material conditions of people's lives were very hard and natural, and at the same time, there were not too many internal entanglements of secular desires and no fetters of official names. In a clean and indifferent environment, pathogens can't penetrate deeply, so you can cure diseases without medical stone.
If these two words are read together, it means "Zhou" (curse), that is to say, "curse" is the consonant of "". "You Zhu" is a method of chanting, praying for ghosts and gods to eliminate disasters and relieve patients' pain. In fact, wishing is a kind of witchcraft. In ancient China, many government medical departments set their wishes according to their families, while in the Tang Dynasty, the imperial doctors set a curse to ban their families. There were thirteen families in the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and wishing by their families was thirteen (forbidden after the middle of Qing Dynasty). Today, as a treatment, Zhuyou is still not a "feudal superstition". As the saying goes, "the disease is born from the heart, and the disease is destroyed by the heart." Many heart diseases can only be treated by cardiac drugs and cardiac therapy.
I wish you can achieve the function of diverting attention and self-suggestion. Mobilize patients' positive factors, divert their attention, anxiety and worry about the disease, give full play to patients' subjective imagination, and transform them into good mental state, so that patients can be comforted and encouraged mentally, which is conducive to relieving and controlling the disease. Some special diseases (some mental and emotional diseases) can even be cured without drugs.
Six-character formula-the sound of exhalation can affect zang-fu organs
Tao Hongjing, a great doctor in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, thought that there was only one inhalation, but exhalation was divided into six ways: blowing, breathing, laughing, hehe, hissing and hissing. The sounds made by these six exhalation methods have different effects on the five internal organs of the human body.
Blowing (managing kidney) can dispel wind, breathing (managing spleen) can dispel heat, laughing (managing heart) can relieve annoyance, ha (managing heart) can reduce qi, shush (managing liver) can dispel depression, and shush (managing lung) can relieve fatigue.
Of course, the six-character formula is not only the sound when exhaling, but also the effort to adjust the body and mind. It is a kind of training kung fu that integrates body and mind, and it is one of the important methods of "national martial arts".
Treating diseases with five tones —— Music therapy for the causes of seven emotions
The theoretical basis of five-tone therapy in traditional Chinese medicine is the coexistence of five elements and five aspirations, and people's emotions are treated with music.
Su Wenjin's chapters in the Chamber of Deputies match the different images formed by the five tones with the five elements of wood, fire, earth, gold and water, which are summarized as follows: wood, its sound angle (crisp and melodious like wood); Fire, its sound symbol (enthusiasm is like fire); Earth, its palace of sound (tender as earth); Gold, its voice quotient (sadness is euphemistic as gold); Water, its Otoha (soft and continuous like water).
According to Chinese medicine, people's five aims are anger, happiness, thinking, sadness and fear, which correspond to liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney respectively. When dealing with various diseases caused by "seven emotions and five desires", combining with different symptoms, playing or enjoying corresponding music can play a good role in treatment and regulation.
The story of Zhuge Liang's anger and Zhou Yu in Romance of the Three Kingdoms ended in Zhou Yu's anger and vomiting blood. In fact, if Zhou Yu had been allowed to listen to some sad music, his anger would not have arisen and he would not have died of shortness of breath. This is what Chinese medicine says, "Worry trumps anger". Jin Fan's overjoyed story is "overjoyed" from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, which blocked his mind and led him to madness. The heart belongs to fire in the five elements and needs water to suppress it. Music with elements such as drums and panic can be used to treat Jin Fan's madness, because "fear wins joy". Another example is Lin Daiyu, who is depressed every day and hurts her lungs. If you use music therapy, you can listen to some music with a different tune, such as "A Hundred Birds at the Phoenix", and cure your troubles with cheerful tunes.
In short, for those who are frightened, you can listen to some peaceful and soothing music; For those who think too much, you can listen to angular music, that is, rising music, feel the breath of spring and express your thoughts.
It is worth noting that the five tones of Chinese medicine in treating diseases must be combined with the environment and layout, and then with diet and color, which is the embodiment of the holistic view of Chinese medicine and the philosophy of neutralization.
