What is a healthy culture?
I. Overview of Health Culture The traditional health culture of the motherland has a history of thousands of years. It combines many factors of natural science, humanities and social sciences, and thousands of years' health-preserving culture of the Chinese nation, based on a unique theoretical system and characterized by rich clinical experience. It is unparalleled in the world's traditional health care culture and has made great contributions to the prosperity and health care of the Chinese nation. Second, the word "health", formerly known as "tube", is to maintain life in order to achieve longevity. In the long history of human development, health and longevity have always been a good wish that people yearn for and pursue, so health-preserving culture has been enriched and developed all over the world. Compared with the health culture in other parts of the world, China's health theory and practice are particularly profound because of its ancient philosophy and basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine. It brings together many methods of disease prevention and fitness of the working people of all ages in China, and integrates the essence of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and a hundred schools of thought. It can be called a tree of wisdom full of vitality and strong oriental mystery. Exploring China's health-preserving culture, an ancient and mysterious tree of oriental wisdom, is not only conducive to promoting traditional culture, but also in line with the scientific development trend in the world today. In the long historical development process, the ancient working people in China, through unremitting efforts from generation to generation, finally created a series of unique theoretical methods to fight against diseases and aging with their own wisdom, and gradually made health preservation a cultural phenomenon with China national characteristics. The most important significance of cultural research lies in exploring the internal purpose and characteristics of various cultural phenomena. As far as China's health culture is concerned, although its research object is human health and longevity, health and longevity in human society has never been just a problem of the human body itself, but is inextricably linked with people's social life and their natural environment. This reminds us that the research and exploration of the basic characteristics of China's health-preserving culture must not be limited to the biological model of human body, but must be comprehensively investigated in many aspects such as society, economy, politics, philosophy and even art. China's health-preserving theory is the product of the intersection of natural science and social science, and its theoretical system itself has the dual characteristics of this discipline. Specifically, the social scientific nature of China's health-preserving culture is mainly reflected in the inextricable connection between its theoretical system and China's ancient philosophy, while the natural scientific nature of China's health-preserving culture is mainly reflected in the flesh-and-blood connection of its traditional medicine. As a cultural phenomenon full of vitality, traditional health preservation has not only formed its own unique theoretical system, but also accumulated a set of practical methods full of the wisdom and wisdom of the ancient working people in China. Thirdly, the relationship between TCM health care and life determines the multifaceted concept of health care. So what is health care? Why should we stay healthy? How to maintain health? Let us appreciate the long history and rich connotation of health culture and the profound cultural origin of unlimited health concept from the wonderful speeches of experts at the health culture summit forum. TCM health preservation mainly includes prevention view, holism view, balance view and dialectical view. 1, the concept of prevention before illness and care before old age. Huangdi Neijing put forward the viewpoint of "treating diseases before they happen". It means that people should pay attention to health preservation from the beginning of life. In a healthy or sub-healthy state, health care measures should be taken in advance to prevent aging and nip in the bud. This kind of philosophical thought of being prepared for danger in times of peace and preventing the gradual progress is the essence of China culture. 2. The holistic view of TCM health preservation theory is based on the correspondence between man and nature, the unity of form and spirit, with special emphasis on the coordination between man and natural environment and social environment, and on the coordination of internal gasification and psychological physiology. People are not only natural people, but also social people. There are biological factors, social factors and psychological factors that affect health and disease, which is an objective fact that people have felt since ancient times. 3. Adjust the balance of Yin and Yang, mend it after it is too late, and maintain the relative balance of Yin and Yang in the normal physiological state of human body. If one party is weak or the other party is overactive, the normal physiological function of the human body will be disordered and a pathological state will appear. Human health can not be separated from the purpose of coordinating and balancing Yin and Yang. 4. The dialectical view of static, regular, harmonious and moderate life lies in movement, because movement is the characteristic of life, and every cell of human body is moving. Only by persisting in regular exercise can we improve our health, prevent diseases and prolong our life. Health preservation means "prevention before illness", which can be achieved through various methods, such as nourishing the mind, adjusting diet, exercising, being cautious about sexual intercourse, and adapting to cold and temperature. It is a comprehensive activity to strengthen the body and prolong life. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has formed a relatively perfect preventive thought and effective prevention principles in the long-term development process. As early as Huangdi Neijing, the concept of "preventing diseases" was put forward. "Prevention of disease" is the most advanced and advanced thought that Chinese medicine has dedicated to mankind. The essence of "preventing disease" is "everyone enjoys health". Give full play to the characteristics and advantages of traditional Chinese medicine, take "preventing diseases" as the core, effectively improve human health and promote the construction of a harmonious society. Health culture and health science are closely related to social medicine, psychological medicine, preventive medicine, behavioral science and even astronomy and geography. "If you know astronomy, geography and personnel, you can last forever". Whether you can live a long and healthy life depends not only on whether you know how to preserve health, but more importantly, whether you can apply it to your daily life. Pay attention to the balance of five aspects in health care. They are the balance between man and nature, the balance between man and society, the balance between yin and yang, the balance between zang-fu organs, and the balance between qi and blood meridians. Among them, for today's society, people should pay special attention to the balance between people and society. Healthy living habits and mentality are the most important. People who observe the world from time to time, gentle people live long, good people live long, generous people live long, and people who are silent live long. Cover the four, the end of benevolence is also, so it is called "benevolence is also born." To sum up, it is gentle, kind, generous and humorous. Four. The so-called "wood, fire, earth, gold and water" are the most basic substances in the world, corresponding to "spring, summer, autumn and winter" in nature, but "liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney" for human body. We should take corresponding measures to clean up, adjust and supplement it in order to maintain the balance between human body, ecology and nature. Nowadays, the social environment is seriously polluted, and people who eat whole grains will inevitably absorb some harmful substances, which will endanger their health. Therefore, the spleen and stomach are the acquired foundation, the source of qi and blood biochemistry, and preside over the digestion and absorption function of the body. Whether the innate vitality (kidney qi) is sufficient depends on whether the spleen and stomach function is damaged. The energy needed by the human body is absorbed, transported and transported to the whole body by the spleen and stomach, and then the qi and blood of the heart and lungs are adjusted to replenish the vitality of the kidney and prevent the invasion of diseases. Through the relationship between the five internal organs and the orifices of the body, and the relationship between the five internal organs and the mental activities, we can communicate the relationship between the internal and external environment and maintain its relative balance and coordination. The five elements regulate the five internal organs to achieve balance by generating grams. As far as the five elements are concerned, it can explain the relationship between man and nature, and the relationship between wood, fire, soil and water and human organs, heart, spleen, lung and kidney. Six fu organs, gallbladder, stomach, large intestine and bladder (triple energizer); Five senses, eyes, tongue, nose, mouth and ears; Five seasons, spring and summer, long summer (middle), autumn and winter; Five qi, wind, heat, dampness, dryness and cold; Sour, bitter, sweet and salty; Five in the southeast, middle and northwest; Five ambitions are anger, joy, sadness and fear; Tears, sweat, saliva, saliva and so on. These phenomena between man and nature provide a clear direction for our medical care. The human body is a unified whole, and everything can't be separated from Yin and Yang. There is a saying that "the solitary yin is not long, and the solitary yang is not born". The world is a material whole, and the world itself is the result of the unity of opposites of Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang represent opposite and related material properties. Man and nature are inseparable from the five elements-Jin Mu, fire, water and earth. Wood says that the curve is straight and the lines are smooth, but it is yang; Moist, yin; The fire is on fire, and so on. There is yin in the yang, and there is yang in the yin, for example, the surface is yin, the water is yang, and the bottom is yin. This shows the overall concept of unity of opposites between yin and yang and five elements, and between man and nature. Just like the five internal organs of the human body-liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney, in the state of yin and yang, they support and help each other, strengthen the body and prolong life. Any organ affected will involve other organs, just like the five internal organs-gallbladder, large intestine, stomach, small intestine, bladder and triple energizer. After understanding the relationship between the five elements and nature, we can analyze possible diseases, and thus deduce the changes of orientation, season, evil spirits, viscera and taste, the induction of five senses and nine orifices, and the reflection of nerves, which remind you of the omen of physical changes everywhere, so that you can prevent it, nip in the bud, keep healthy, strengthen your body, eliminate toxins in your body, regulate internal functions, supplement balanced nutrition and prolong your life. This is the uniqueness of the traditional health culture of the motherland. 5. Healthy people, like other creatures, are inseparable from the natural laws of birth, growth, strength, old age and death. However, human strength can promote growth and development, enhance physical fitness, delay aging, and even avoid premature death. The key lies in active prevention and timely treatment. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was mentioned in Huangdi Neijing: "Sages don't cure diseases, but don't cure them; In other words, when you are not sick, you should prevent the occurrence of diseases. If you are sick, you should treat it as soon as possible to block the development of the disease. People who are good at keeping in good health will often deal with hidden dangers when you are not sick and drive away all kinds of dangerous factors lurking inside and outside your body. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the coordination and unity between man and nature, emphasizes the coordination and unity of all system organizations in the whole body, and takes the theory of "correspondence between man and nature" as the leading thought. It is believed that the healthy qi is hidden in the human body, and the evil cannot be done, and that the qi must be deficient when the evil is combined. It is emphasized that the principles of "treating the disease before it happens" and "preventing the disease before it happens, and not changing the disease" vary from person to person, from time to time and from place to place. Health is the basis of longevity, and health means that there are no substances and toxins harmful to the body. At present, people divide people into three categories, one is healthy people accounting for 5%, the other is patients accounting for 15%, and about 80% people are in sub-health state. This sub-health population has no hidden dangers before the onset, but there is no dangerous state of major problems. What people in this period need is to clear the spleen, stomach and intestines. Regulate qi, blood, yin and yang; Supplementing nutritional deficiency; So as to achieve the purpose of prevention and health care. The human body is an organic whole, and the imbalance of yin and yang will affect the dysfunction of zang-fu organs. If one organ is damaged, other organs will also be affected, resulting in imbalance of human body. Therefore, it is necessary to clean up the unfavorable factors in the body in advance, adjust the balance and supplement nutrition. As the saying goes, "Righteousness exists in the body, evil refers to the normal functional activities and disease resistance of the human body, and evil refers to various pathogenic factors. It causes the dispute between evil and right, destroys the balance of yin and yang in human body, or causes the dysfunction of zang-fu organs and the disorder of qi and blood operation, resulting in a series of pathological changes. If healthy qi is strong and pathogenic factors subside, diseases will often improve and recover. If healthy qi is weak and pathogenic qi is strong, the disease will become more and more serious, even worse and worse. This shows how important people's health care is at ordinary times. Often when the pathogenic factors lurk in the body without onset, it is easy to ignore them and think that they are in a healthy state. Who knows that the body is like a dam, "the embankment of a thousand miles, collapsed in the ant nest"? Only by removing the latent lesions can the body not be damaged, and people often start to remedy after getting the information of the disease. However, "Rome was not built in a day". If you want to be as solid as ice, you will be able to build a healthy body. First of all, we must understand that people who live in nature rely on the functions of yin and yang and five elements to adjust the balance between man and nature. It is necessary to adjust the balance according to people, time and local conditions in different seasons, regions and times, so as to achieve "harmony between man and nature".
