Sun Simiao in the Tang Dynasty also took "walking at a hundred paces after a meal, often rubbing his belly with his hands" as his way of longevity.
During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, Fang Kai's book Nine Methods of Prolonging Life introduced in detail the method of rubbing abdomen by hand, and illustrated it with Wei Yan's drawing as an example.
Fang Kai, a native of Shexian County, Anhui Province in the Qing Dynasty, was a famous health care practitioner during the Yongzheng period. His "fairy rubbing belly method" has a miraculous effect on maintaining body and mind and eliminating diseases. Insisting on rubbing the abdomen can "harmonize the upper and lower parts, separate the yin and yang, remove the old and introduce the new, enrich the five internal organs, drive away external evils, clear up internal diseases, replenish deficiency, diarrhea, digestion, endless wonderful reactions and prolong the curative effect of diseases."

Abdomen: Miyagi, Yin and Yang Qi of the five internal organs and the origin of blood.
Why can rubbing the abdomen play a health care role? This is because the abdomen plays an important role in the human body.
Chinese medicine believes that "the back is yang and the abdomen is yin". On the human abdomen, 12 has important meridians such as ren meridian, stomach meridian, kidney meridian, liver meridian and spleen meridian, and even pulse-rushing and pulse-taking. It can be said that around the navel, it is equivalent to the center of the human body and the roundabout of the transportation hub. Everything from the throat to the external genitalia is inseparable from this center.
The abdomen is where the five internal organs live, including liver, spleen, stomach, gallbladder, large intestine, small intestine, kidney, bladder and other organs. Therefore, in Li Zheng's massage, the abdomen is compared to "Miyagi, Yin, Yang Qi and the source of blood of the five internal organs".
It is often said that "people live a breath", that is, people can't live without gas for a minute. Without qi, people's life will end, but "qi can benefit people and harm people." Although people can't live without qi, their nests are full of qi. Therefore, the treatment should be based on treating qi, which can make the disease disappear.

Soft qi leads to flat abdomen-kneading and blocking points is a good method to treat chronic diseases.
All chronic diseases can find the corresponding blockage point in the abdomen. In other words, all chronic diseases can be found in the abdomen.
From this, we can draw a conclusion: when our chronic disease persists, but we don't know what the cause is and how to treat it, then you should look for the blockage point of this abdomen (it may be a lump, a pain point, a depression or an air mass). Just push it away and wipe it clean, and you will find that your chronic disease will disappear.
If you don't find any chronic diseases, but there is a blockage in a certain part when pushing the abdomen, you must push it away quickly, because it will be a hidden danger in the future.

Moxibustion-harmonizing up and down, separating yin and yang, ascending and descending turbidity and gasification.
Spleen and stomach are the acquired foundation of human body, and intestines and brains are the same root. Physiologically, the nutrition of the five internal organs and limbs depends on the delicious food of Shui Gu accepted by the stomach.
Spleen and stomach are in the middle of abdomen, spleen ascending is healthy, and stomach descending is harmonious. They are the hinge of human qi movement, and gasification can only be normal if it is clear and turbid.
As Tang Ben, a Japanese doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, said: The stomach is the foundation of life, so it is the source of all diseases.
If we often feel uncomfortable and have symptoms of spleen-stomach disharmony, I suggest you try pushing your stomach, and you will easily find the blockage point, then carefully push it away and knead it.
In this way, we can feel the pathological changes of viscera by hand, quickly adjust the qi and blood of viscera, and help the human body achieve metabolic balance.
Ge Hong, a doctor in Jin Dynasty, also emphasized the theory that "if you want to export, your stomach should be clear". Chen, a physician in the Qing Dynasty, said in the article "The Relationship between Abdomen and Longevity": "The abdomen is a sea of water valleys, and Shui Gu is full of qi."
In short, the method of rubbing the abdomen can reconcile the upper and lower, separate yin and yang, bring forth the old and bring forth the new, enrich the five internal organs, drive away all exogenous evils and clean up all endogenous diseases.

Today, I recommend the nine-turn method to prolong life.
Nine-turn life extension method is also called nine-turn life extension method, and the immortal rubs his abdomen. "The method of rubbing the abdomen, moving to static, moving to static, adapting to yin and yang, adapting to the five elements, making it energetic and making it change.
Therefore, we can reconcile the upper and lower parts, divide the yin and yang, remove the old and introduce the new, enrich the five internal organs, drive away all exogenous evils, clean up all endogenous syndromes, replenish deficiency and diarrhea, and add and subtract endlessly. There is no need to burn pills with medicine, and it will prolong the effectiveness of the disease itself. 」

Precautions:
1. Anyone who does this kind of abdominal rubbing must concentrate on it and get rid of other thoughts. Spread a mat on the bedding with a low pillow and lie on your back. Feet together. Feet slightly bent, fingers gently rubbed and moved slowly.
2. Before practice, it is generally required to unbutton underwear and rub it directly. The first to eighth postures are mainly supine.
3. When rubbing your abdomen, you must concentrate on it, and the movements should be relaxed, gentle and slow. Don't be clumsy and hard, keep breathing smoothly and don't hold your breath. Don't shake your upper body too fast and too violently. After practice, you should feel relaxed and comfortable without fatigue.
If you do it seriously, it will take about 30 minutes at a time, and the slower the better. If something happens, it is necessary to do it twice in the morning and evening.
5. During the practice, due to the changes of physiological functions such as enhanced gastrointestinal peristalsis, abdominal murmur (bowel sounds), belching, abdominal temperature or easy hunger often occur. This is a normal practice effect, and you can let nature take its course without any treatment.
6. Anyone suffering from malignant tumor, visceral hemorrhage, abdominal wall infection and pregnant women should not practice this operation.

A few pushes on the stomach will make you growl.
If you feel tiny lumps, nodules, air masses and pain points when you push your abdomen ... remember to massage these parts. With the four fingers outside the thumb, a little hard rubbing can lead the deep toxin to the superficial, rub off the blocking point and make it disperse. Use your strength flexibly, not too much, so as not to hurt your internal organs.
When you massage, if there are blue petechiae, don't be afraid. Those are the old petechiae that have been turned out and won't block the meridians any more. And listening to the chirping of the stomach, burping and farting are more common, smooth and comfortable.
Slowly, your hands are getting sharper and sharper, the soles of your feet are warm, and the moisture comes out.
Blockage points often appear near Tianshu point on both sides of navel.
