We must keep healthy, because keeping healthy means maintaining life, which can make us healthier, less sick and live longer. The fundamental principle of health preservation is to conform to the laws of the four seasons. If you go with it, you will be born, and if you go against it, you will be ill. How should we keep in good health since autumn?
(A) beginning of autumn's original intention
There are 24 solar terms throughout the year, including beginning of spring, Changxia, beginning of autumn and beginning of winter. What is standing? The dictionary's interpretation is: used for solar terms, indicating the beginning of the season.
I have a different understanding. I think this "legislation" should refer to making rules, which is similar to legislation and contract.
Why do you say that? The so-called beginning of autumn means that heaven and earth should formulate new rules about autumn, and the rules of autumn are: convergence and surrender. Because the rules of heaven and earth began to fluctuate in the long summer, but in beginning of autumn, the rules changed, and the state of yang changed from ups and downs to a state of convergence and stability.
By extension, beginning of winter's rule is to hide, and beginning of spring's rule is to grow hair. In this way, a complete circular motion is formed between heaven and earth. Yang is spring, grows in summer, harvests in autumn and stores in winter. People live between heaven and earth, and people are also influenced by the movement of the sun, which is the spiritual cycle of heaven and earth. People's bodies will form circular movements with the changes of the four seasons. The bigger and rounder the movement of human yang, the more perfect and healthier it is to follow the rhythm of heaven and earth. On the other hand, if people's yang circle movement becomes smaller and weaker, it means that people can't keep up with the rhythm of heaven and earth, and their health will be damaged.
(2) When people are endowed with autumn spirit, the yang will converge.
Starting from beginning of autumn, the spirit of the sun between heaven and earth began to converge. Why does the sun converge as the spirit of heaven and earth? Because the yang of heaven and earth also needs to complete circular motion. After autumn, heaven and earth are full of gold gas, and the gold gas gathers, wrapping the fire in midsummer in the middle and diving underground. Fall to the ground at the autumnal equinox, continue to converge after the autumnal equinox, and begin to hide in early winter. This hidden summer fire is waiting to see spring and then sprout. This rising sun is the vitality between heaven and earth, which can make all kinds of life endless.
When people become life on the earth, they should also grow and collect according to the sun of heaven and earth. Man's yang should be synchronized with the sun's yang of heaven and earth as far as possible, so as to be blessed by heaven and earth and be healthier.
Since autumn, people's yang will begin to converge. What should we do?
On the one hand, summer should be in the heart, and the fire in summer is exciting and makes people feel strong. And autumn should be in the lungs, autumn gold makes people calm and make people's lungs converge. We should have an idea of convergence in our hearts. Even if the weather is still hot, we should think about it in our hearts. After all, when beginning of autumn arrives, my yang will begin to converge. I want to be one with heaven and earth.
The heart is the Lord, the heart thinks, and the yang moves. Peace of mind means yang ping, while floating heart means yang mania. If you can be calm, calm and at ease, Yang won't move. In the hot summer, our restless hearts, starting from beginning of autumn, are about to converge.
Second, the lungs should be in autumn, and the lungs should be in season in autumn. Keep healthy in autumn and nourish the lungs. How to raise lungs? The lung likes clearing and descending, and the lung hates dryness and heat. On the one hand, avoid excessive air conditioning, so that lung qi can be promoted without stagnation; On the other hand, we should pay attention to a light diet and avoid frying, barbecue, greasy, sticky, Chili, hot pot and so on. This will easily disturb the fire, or increase the damp heat, or increase the dry fire, then it is difficult for the lungs to be safe.
Lung governs qi, which is the key point. The lungs have the ability to adjust the human body to keep up with the rhythm of heaven and earth. Nourishing the lung is actually to adjust the main qi and attending functions of the lung, so that the lung can better complete its work. Only in this way can people better adapt to the rhythm of heaven and earth. So, try not to hurt your lungs.
The lungs are delicate and delicate. Physiologically, they are empty and delicate, full when inhaled and empty when exhaled. They are the canopy of zang-fu organs and the intersection of hundreds of veins. The lungs can't tolerate bacteria and pathogens. Pathologically, the evil of exogenous six evils enters from fur or mouth and nose, and attacking the lungs is often easy to get sick. Moreover, the lung position is the highest, and the gathering of evil forces will hurt the lung first; Other visceral diseases usually involve the lungs. Cough, asthma, hemoptysis, aphonia, tuberculosis, pulmonary flaccidity and other diseases may occur due to lung diseases, regardless of external causes, internal injuries or other visceral diseases.
Third, laughing often can spread the lungs, and spreading the lungs means nourishing the lungs. Laughter is the heart, laughter is the heart, and laughter can also nourish the lungs. A happy mood and happy laughter can make breathing smooth. When we laugh, we often use abdominal breathing, so that we can breathe deeper and absorb more gas to nourish the five internal organs.
In addition, exercise can also moisten the lungs. Proper exercise can exercise the respiratory system. Keep the habit of moderate exercise and exercise more in places with good air.
Fourth, lying for a long time hurts the qi, and the lung governs the qi, so lying for a long time hurts the lung. We all have this experience. On weekends, we want to sleep in and lie down for two more hours. When we get up, we feel weak, lazy and tired. This is actually a sign that hurts our qi and lungs.
In non-sleep time, if you stay in bed for a long time, the movement of qi will become slow, resulting in heavy fatigue and weakness of limbs. In addition, 3-5 am is the time for the lungs to rest, and you should enter the sleep stage at this time. If you often stay up late, especially if you don't sleep at three o'clock, you will definitely hurt your lungs.
summary
Nourishing the lungs is to adapt to the four seasons. Keeping your lungs healthy after autumn will affect your health for one year. On the one hand, the lungs can participate in festivals, so people can better follow the laws of heaven and earth. The lungs will promote the five internal organs of the whole body to keep up with the rhythm of heaven and earth, which is not only healthy in autumn, but also healthy at all times of the year. On the other hand, nourishing the lungs conforms to the nature of convergence and decline of heaven and earth. As soon as the harvest is over, the sun's spirit will begin to converge, and the circular movement of life will become bigger and more round, so that we can be healthier.
