What is Yang?
We often hear people say that tonifying yang, strengthening yang and supporting yang, so what is yang?
Yang of human body is everywhere in the whole body. According to different distribution and characteristics, it can be divided into five qi: primordial qi, ancestral qi, nourishing qi, defending qi and middle qi, which are collectively called Yang Qi.
In thousands of years of Chinese medicine culture, yin refers to the human body, and yang refers to the energy that the human body has. A person's life is a process of yang decline. If the body has no yang, it becomes an empty shell and will die.
In Huangdi Neijing, Su Wen said: "Yang is defensive and exterior is solid", which means that the human body has the ability to resist external evils, and this ability is Yang.
The ancients compared Yang to the relationship between the sky and the sun. If there is no sun in the sky, then the earth is dark and unknown, and nothing can grow.
Therefore, the operation of heaven and earth must have the sun. The yang of human body must be reconciled to consolidate its protective function, otherwise it will attract the invasion of pathogenic factors.
Huangdi Neijing said: "The sun is Yang, and if the sky and the sun lose their place, they will lose their lives." Therefore, maintaining yang qi is the basis of health care and treatment.
