I read this article as soon as I opened my eyes, and its reasoning part was quite convincing. The core is the unity of man and nature: smog and dust are produced in nature because of excessive human plunder and forest reduction. In the same way, people have too many desires and thoughts, which leads to the deficiency in the lower part and the stagnation of qi. The natural way to solve the problem is to plant trees and reduce human intervention; The way to keep fit is to stand on a pile. As long as it is as quiet as a tree, it will naturally rise and fall and go around.
The vertical pile method introduced at the back of this net article is a common bent knee pile in society, so I won't judge it here. In order to illustrate the benefits of piling, the old stone was invited out at the end of the article, saying: "As Su Dongpo said when commenting on piling,' its effect was not very good at first, but it accumulated over time and its role was immeasurable. This is a hundred times better than taking medicine. "
When I saw this passage on the Internet, my heart moved, too, because Su Shi, a literary giant, was standing in that pile, which was so infectious. But years of rigidity have given me an eye, so I'd better go and have a look.
I don't know. I don't know. Su Shi has never stood on a pile, so we don't know, but the above passage really doesn't mean standing on a pile!
Old Su Shi, a regimen hundreds of times more effective than medicine, sat at first, then locked his teeth and held his breath. Finally lie down and sleep until dawn. He also pointed out in particular, "But being quiet and single-minded is easy to see the works." From beginning to end, the old man never mentioned the word standing pile.
Speaking of this, I was recently instructed by good knowledge: don't say that other people's piling methods are not good. You can say that vertical piles are easier to protect your knees and relax into silence, but don't say that people's bent knee piling method is not good. As the saying goes, everyone has his own destiny, and what he likes and practices is his own business. However, for Wen Shou's friend's question, I will give a general reply in combination with my recent accident:
First, life comes from peace. Everything must start from the root. What is the purpose of standing piles? Is it to rejuvenate? Well, the ancients said that we should live in peace, and only by living in peace can our lives take root. There is a saying in Tao Te Ching: Be empty, be quiet, and when everything is together, I will turn back. Everything must be traced back to the source. In the final analysis, it is quiet. Quiet is my life. I made it clear. In the final analysis, that is called quietness, and quietness is called life. The root of road and life lies in quietness. Only silence can regenerate life. By the same token, only by calming down, not being bothered by human beings and not desperately trying to be human can we restore the inner vitality of nature. Therefore, Su Shi's method of keeping in good health also emphasizes "being quiet and single-minded, that is, being easy to see merit".
Second, the avenue is simple. It is human nature to "value the distance over the near, and the ancient over the present". The farther away, the more difficult and complicated it is, especially the things that are hard to get, the better it feels. Most people have mysterious and weird complex, and they all want to pursue what they can't catch up with and do something different. You tell him that people are born straight. If you stand straight, you will not be oppressed or get sick. As long as you take God back and stand naturally as usual, you can keep in good health. This pile can live, sit, lie and practice, which is exactly the old saying, "Tao is true, and people don't know its daily use, so they can't leave for a moment." He won't believe it. This is also the reason for the proliferation of various performance routines. Regular and smooth shape, peace of mind means harmony, and harmony means no disease. Everything is simple, don't complicate it. Usually, if you bow your head often unintentionally, it will cause cervical spondylosis. If you deliberately bend a certain part of your body or your body is tense for a long time, the consequences can be imagined!
The third is to relax before practice. Laozi warned us that human beings are born weak and die strong. When the strong die, the weak live. Only when they are as soft as babies and as loose as water can they approach the Tao. The movement of qi and blood in the human body is regular and follows the meridians. Any health-preserving exercise, as long as it conforms to and contributes to the flow and direction of the Eight Wonders of the Human Body and the twelve meridians, as long as it is beneficial to physical and mental relaxation, will be beneficial to health. Otherwise, the qi and blood will be slightly depressed, and there may be strong feelings and many feelings when practicing, but in the long run, it will cause great pressure on the viscera, especially the heart. This is a warning!
Fourth, everything is complacent. China culture is characterized by self-interest and self-care. The Book of Changes says: Blessed by God, there is no harm in the blessing. Only by self-reliance can God bless you. Confucianism emphasizes that a gentleman does what he can and is not complacent. Buddhists say: you have to live without a fixed place. Taoism emphasizes that there is nothing in the Tao, nothing in itself, and nothing in inaction. Therefore, standing piles do not require feelings, phenomena, feelings and quick success, and cannot be oriented by intention. Their body and mind are naturally integrated, and their hearts and interests are interdependent. Over time, it will be out of thin air, quiet and vivid, and the cathode will give birth to yang, without thinking, reluctant to go. This self-unsatisfying thing is their medicine. Be wary of anything that is hopeful, intentional or quick.
Fifth, internal factors determine external factors. According to medical theory, "everything inside must be molded outside". By the same token, all our external body movements or postures are aimed at making the internal organs, meridians and qi and blood run more smoothly, and are by no means for the so-called good-looking and beautiful to cause physical and mental tension. Li Luoneng, the originator of Xingyiquan, once said: Xingyiquan bends its knees without pain. Why emphasize that the lower the knee, the better? Li Zhongxuan, the predecessor of Xingyiquan, also said: Seeking the inner spirit from the external form is to carve a boat and seek a sword; From the inner spirit to the outer body, it is a step into heaven. When you encounter any achievement method, I suggest you measure it according to traditional cultural standards such as Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and see if Taoism is natural, conforms to medical principles, and can make us calm and calm inside. Ask more questions, never say what you say, and never listen to other people's suggestions, not to mention neglecting internal relaxation in pursuit of so-called external physical beauty and graceful movements.
In the end, it doesn't matter if Su Shi didn't stand a stake. The important thing is that you know why and how to stand the pile.
