1. Harmony between health preservation and natural seasons
Man and nature are a whole, so the changes of natural seasons in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the changes of cold, hot and humid climate can all affect the growth, development and health of the body. On the basis of the theory of "correspondence between man and nature", Chinese medicine uses five movements and six qi to calculate climate change, and puts forward the method of "combining yin and yang with skill numbers" to adapt to climate change in four seasons, which is also one of the fundamental measures to prevent diseases.
Natural changes, four distinct seasons, warm in spring and hot in summer, cool in autumn and cold in winter, human beings should follow the principle of "harmony in yin and yang" to adapt to the climate changes in the four seasons. In spring and March, "lie down late and get up early, striding to court"; Xia San month, "lying at night and getting up early, insatiable every day"; In autumn and March, "lie down early and get up early, and have fun with chickens"; In winter and March, "get up early and go to bed late, and wait for the sun" (Su Wen's Four Temperaments Tune the Spirit), so as to achieve the purpose of "nourishing yang in spring and summer and nourishing yin in autumn and winter". Humans have lived in nature for a long time and formed their own circadian rhythm. Only by adapting to the natural changes, regulating the functions of zang-fu organs, nourishing essence and calming the nerves, replenishing qi and blood, and balancing yin and yang and Yang Can can the body be healthy and disease-free.
2. Harmonious view of health care and environment
Health is the premise of longevity, and everyone's health depends largely on his environment. The environment includes geographical environment, climatic environment, social environment and the small environment in which everyone lives. In the environment, there are many factors that act on the human body all the time. These factors can be summarized as physical, chemical and biological. They are not only complex, but also constantly changing. With the help of internal adjustment mechanism, the human body maintains a relative balance with various environmental factors, showing the adaptability of the body to the environment, but the adaptability of human beings is limited. When the harmful environment acts on the human body for a long time, or exceeds a certain limit, it will endanger health, cause diseases and even lead to death.
Since ancient times, people have attached great importance to environmental factors. "On Su Wen and Zheng Wuchang" said: "The life expectancy of a country is different. Why?" Qi Bo said: "The principle of competition is determined by the terrain. Lofty is treated by yin, while dirty is treated by yang. Yang is congenital, and Yin is acquired. This geography is common, and the biochemical way is also ... the highest anger and the lowest anger. The land is small and different, and the small one is small and different. " The ancients clearly pointed out that people living in high mountain areas with fresh air and cold climate live longer, while those living in low-lying areas with dirty air and hot climate live shorter. It can be seen that the soil, water, climate and environment in residential areas are very important to human health and longevity.
Since ancient times, beautiful natural environments such as green mountains, green waters and quiet countryside have been considered to be conducive to health and longevity. Therefore, health care can not ignore the impact of the natural environment on people. Not only the natural environment is closely related to human health, but also the social environment is closely related to human physical condition. For example, Huangdi Neijing pointed out: "Anyone who wants to see a doctor must ask where to eat and drink, and he likes suffering, hurts essence, exhausts essence and destroys his health." Obviously, we should pay attention to the influence of social and psychological factors in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Because people have biological and social attributes, we must pay attention to the influence of social environmental factors on people's health and diseases.
