Sun Simiao's achievements are not only reflected in medicine, but also in health preservation.
He summarized, absorbed and used for reference, and put forward his own innovative views on the basis of predecessors' thoughts. From a medical point of view, he advocates both rest and exercise; Advocate both food supplement and drug treatment; Advocate semen preservation and abstinence. In particular, his "ten elements" of health preservation are highly respected by future generations, and many health preservation concepts have been developed on this basis.
Ten essentials: the first one.
"excluding the outer edge" nourishes the soul
The ancients believed that people had "three treasures", essence, qi and spirit. God takes essence as the root and qi as the use, which is a symbol of human life. Sun Simiao compared a person's life to a burning oil lamp. Life is limited to one hundred years. In a hurry, the big wick lights up for a short time, and the small wick lights up for a long time. However, proper care can prolong life.
He pointed out that "people's longevity lies in squatting", that is, cherishing the gods and protecting their own "three treasures". Based on praying for God, he summed it up as "Twelve Less", that is, "People who are good at managing their lives tend to think less, think less, desire less, talk less, laugh less, be less sad, worry less, be less happy, be less happy, be less angry, be less good and be less evil." On the contrary, there are more than twelve, and many people are worried about hurting people.
"Rejecting the outer edge" not only eliminates all distractions, but also reaches the realm of "the relationship between form and spirit". Nourishing the mind means nourishing nature. Only by controlling worldly desires and achieving a state of peace of mind can we live a long and healthy life.
Secondly, it is necessary.
"Take care of time" to stay angry.
Qi is the vitality of life, essence can transform qi, and qi can produce essence, which is the potential material basis of God. Don't overdo what you usually do. If you think too much, you will consume gas and damage your essence. If you do it moderately, you can caress it.
The method of "controlling the atmosphere according to the time" pays attention to the communication between man and nature. The qi of human body is closely related to the natural qi of heaven and earth. There are four seasons in the sky, and people also have changes in spring, summer, autumn and winter. So he put forward the spirit of keeping in good health in spring, keeping in good health in summer, saving in autumn and storing in winter. People's food, clothing, housing and transportation change with the seasons. Moderately adjusting the changes of food, clothing, housing and transportation can achieve the function of regulating the balance of qi, blood and yin and yang.
Thirdly, it is necessary.
Eat less to be safe.
"The foundation of a healthy life depends on food", "I don't know whether food is suitable or not, but it is not enough to survive", "Food can dispel evil spirits, strengthen viscera, cheer up the spirit, refresh the mind and make qi and blood full". Sun Simiao pointed out that frugality is the first priority in diet, and the food should be light, so eat less spicy, greasy and greasy things. When paying attention to the five flavors, we should also pay attention to the time and quantity of eating. It is better to chew slowly when eating, pay attention to food hygiene and prevent diseases from entering the mouth.
He believes that every disease must first be "stained with food, and the diet is not cured before giving medicine." Summing up his life experience, he was included in the article Dietotherapy. China's first monograph, Dietotherapy Materia Medica, was based on Dietotherapy.
Fourthly, we should
Take medicine bait for health care.
"All drugs can be saved", he used a long-term prescription of a combination of drugs to prolong life, which can achieve the effects of preventing and treating diseases, conditioning deficiency, strengthening body, delaying aging and prolonging life.
For example, poria cocos crisp is the main prescription for prolonging life in addition to all diseases, and almond crisp is the main prescription for prolonging life in addition to various prescriptions for wind, fatigue and cold. The crisp yellow rice wine makes people whiter and blacker, their teeth get worse and their brains are full, but they are still old and running.
Fifth, it is necessary.
Reshape the body and keep fit.
Get in shape and keep fit. "Always wanting to be small and exhausted" means that we should pay attention to moderate activities and avoid overwork in order to cultivate our self-cultivation, so as to achieve the effects of blood and blood permeability and meridian harmony.
"Listening for a long time hurts the spirit, watching for a long time hurts the blood, lying for a long time hurts the gas, standing for a long time hurts the bones, sitting for a long time hurts the meat, and hurts the tendons for a long time", "Running water does not rot, and the family does not bite". Although the body is influenced by parents, the care of the day after tomorrow is also very important. Only long-term persistence can be effective, but don't overwork.
Sixth.
Guide, regulate qi, eliminate diseases and prolong life.
Guide massage, breathing and regulating qi, the former belongs to fitness gymnastics, with movement as the main factor; The latter is breathing gymnastics, mainly static, which belongs to the category of qigong and is a combination of static and dynamic works. He pointed out that people who want to keep in good health should not only pay attention to spirit, love spirit, self-cultivation, but also guide the circulation of qi. Only by persisting for a long time can they prolong their life. People who are good at aftercare should know how to regulate qi and cure all diseases.
Seventh, we should
Be careful what you say lest you lose your breath.
The ancients thought that people's hearts were "confused by movement and had to move", so secular desires would follow. Chinese medicine believes that "Qi is the source of life, God is the mainstay, and the body is full", so we should use Qi with caution. Don't talk when you do anything, eat anything or lie down, especially in winter, and don't "talk big when you are cold". Supplementing qi can promote the human body to get rid of the old and absorb the new, and improve metabolism.
Eighth.
Strictly observe taboos to prevent strain.
Virtue, to achieve "self-cultivation", live and live, pay attention to avoid being disturbed by thieves and evils, and be careful in diet.
"There is no jealousy of the sun and the moon, and there is no sum of fleeting years." "Those who are jealous for a day are not full at dusk; Those who avoid it in January are not drunk at dusk; One year old taboo, dusk will be far away; Those who are taboo for life often need to protect their gas. " Sun Simiao's point of view is to tell the whole idea of the unity of man and nature, to warn people to stay away from false and evil thieves, and to keep the body's "Yin and Yang are secret" and "Qi and blood are peaceful", so as to achieve the effect of self-cultivation, gas protection and mental recuperation.
Point nine
The atrioventricular node can last for a long time
Sun Simiao put forward the principle of "not violating sexual pleasure", and achieving harmony between men and women indoors is the essence of health preservation. Chinese medicine believes that "on the one hand, it can enhance emotional communication, on the other hand, it can increase metabolism and promote physical and mental health."
The tenth requirement
Only by abandoning the "five difficulties" can we live forever.
He agrees with Ji Kang's "five difficulties in keeping in good health": fame and fortune are one, emotion is two, silence is three, taste is four and distraction is five. It is said that "five difficulties" are the enemy of health preservation. Therefore, he believes that if people want to live a long life, they must pay attention to "cultivating themselves by Tao and taking benevolence as the foundation", so as to achieve the goal of "benevolence leads to longevity".
Sun Simiao's ten aspects of health preservation should start with people, then rely on nature, from people to nature, and then from nature to people, which is an organic cycle. He profoundly expounded the intimate relationship between man and nature in health preservation, taking essence, qi and spirit as the source of life, and described in detail how to care for the "three treasures" from all aspects, so as to achieve the effect of nourishing the heart, nourishing the nature and prolonging life.
"Don't worry, don't be angry, don't be sad, don't be afraid, don't jump, don't laugh, don't covet what you want, don't make a noise, don't make a noise, and you can live forever."
In the second half of life, people, life and health care all pay attention to "nine can't pass".
First, anger is not excessive.
In the article My Mother, Mr. Hu Shi said with emotion in combination with his mother's experience: "I gradually understand that the most disgusting thing in the world is nothing more than an angry face."
The dirtiest thing in the world is to show your angry face to others, which is worse than beating and cursing.
If you are troubled, don't be angry. Anger will hurt the liver. Learn to control your emotions, improve self-restraint, and be optimistic.
Second, there are not enough names.
Fame and fortune are endless hardships, and prosperity is fleeting. Always take medicine as the heart and live a happy life.
Look down on the world, watch the spring flowers and the autumn moon, the world is noisy, fame and fortune come and go, let go of impetuousness and be calm and stable.
Third, profit-seeking is not greedy.
European proverb says: a greedy heart is like a barren land in the desert, which absorbs all the rain, but does not breed vegetation for the convenience of others.
I don't take "debauchery and wealth", "amorous feelings" is irrelevant.
No desire, no desire, contentment, let nature take its course and clear your name.
Fourth, clothes should not be too warm.
Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty once said: "Don't be extremely warm in winter, and don't be poor and cool in summer; Don't lie under the stars and look at your shoulders when you don't sleep. "
Don't wear too warm clothes and hats, and don't be too thin. Too warm is easy to catch a cold, too cold is easy to catch a cold.
Five, not enough to eat.
Ge Hong once said: "If you don't want to be extremely hungry, you won't have enough to eat;" I don't want to drink. I'm extremely thirsty. Not much to drink. "
Eat 78% full, match the thickness, have both meat and vegetables, drink soup before meals, and don't smoke or drink.
Sixth, life is not wide.
Happy-go-lucky, clean and comfortable room, there is no need to make it magnificent, easy to seize people's will and degenerate.
Seven, but not soon.
If the body permits, try to use steps instead of cars. If you drive out, your legs and feet will lose their flexibility after a long time.
Eight, tired or not.
Labor intensity is limited, and exceeding the load will cause harm to the body.
Our bodies will be exhausted because of fatigue, and our minds will have problems because of overload.
Pay attention to the combination of work and rest and have a proper rest after work.
Nine, it is not safe to escape.
Staying at home all day, it is inevitable that you will do nothing, lose interest in life and lose your spirit. So, even at home, always go out and talk to people.
Take part in activities, walk and chat, write and draw, play chess and watch movies, read books and newspapers, use your brains diligently, keep a good mood and prolong life.
In modern life, human nutrition should be moderate. If it is too low, people will be malnourished and too high. On the contrary, if there is too much nutrition, the amount of exercise should be moderate, too little, without exercise effect, and too much will cause harm.
Dealing with emotions with a gentle attitude can make you happy and prolong your life more easily.
Moderate exercise can make you feel comfortable and happy.
