What does this mean?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Yin and Yang are antagonistic, mutually restrictive and interdependent, so that they can be unified and achieve a dynamic balance between Yin and Yang, which is called "Yin Pingyang Secret".
"Yin hides essence and rises to the extreme, while Yang keeps exterior and is firm". True yin should have the function of convergence and collection of yin essence, nourish true yang and converge true yang (yin level); The true yang should have the function of growing and sprouting to resist external evil, and it should not let the true yin leak out and bind the true yin (Yang secret).
Ping and Secret in Yin Pingyang Secret have the same meaning, balance. "Yin Ping" refers to the smoothness of Yin Qi, and "Yang Secret" refers to the persistence of yang spirit, which is the relative balance maintained by the mutual adjustment of yin and yang.
Chinese medicine says that "healthy qi exists inside, and evil cannot be done." If evil is combined, its qi will be lost. That is to say, if we keep our body in a state of balance between Yin and Yang, that is, a state of "Yin and Yang are secrets", then evil will not make your body sick. The human body is like a society, and good people and bad people are relative. When the social order is normal, it doesn't matter if there are a few thieves. The overall order can suppress him, but when the social order is chaotic and the police become thieves, society may collapse.
The topics of health preservation are big and small. For example, today you are angry, dizzy, bloated and don't want to eat. Go to the hospital for examination, and the doctor tells you that there is nothing wrong, but you are really uncomfortable. At this time, you go to an old Chinese doctor and tell him that he has a headache, a bitter taste and his chest is full of anger. Can you see me? After taking your pulse, the old Chinese doctor will definitely tell you that your liver qi is stagnant and you should take some medicine to soothe the liver and relieve depression. If you listen to him and take medicine, this uncomfortable feeling may soon disappear.
The root cause of illness is that the environment in the body has changed.
We go to work by bus or subway every day. I'm afraid there are all kinds of bacteria and viruses in our respiratory tract. Why? Because people live in the natural environment, eat natural meals, breathe natural air and drink natural water. Nature gives us the right to live, and also gives bacteria and viruses the same right to live, so it is reasonable to exist. Everyone experienced the color change of SARS in 2003, and now the COVID-19 epidemic is spreading all over the world. Threatened for more than half a year, the power is still there. They are not germ wars waged by aliens against the earth. This pathogenic factor and humans don't know how many years have passed. In the process of the development of the Chinese nation's 5,000-year history of civilization, they developed in step with us, even before us. But in normal times, why don't we get sick? I don't think it doesn't exist, but under normal circumstances, human beings and bacteria and viruses will maintain a dynamic balance of mutual non-aggression and coexistence and common prosperity. But if this balance is broken, such as human destroying the living environment of bacteria and viruses, they will fight back against human beings, become pathogenic factors and cause human diseases. Many plague pandemics in human history were caused by this * * * balance being broken. The maintenance of this rule and balance is precisely due to the magical power of nature, so we should thank nature, respect nature and consciously safeguard nature every day of our lives, and should not intentionally or unintentionally destroy nature, because it is nature that creates conditions for human survival. I think protecting nature is a very important concept.
Under normal circumstances, each of us and the pathogenic factors can be in a state of peace. In this state, you live your life, and it lives its life, and the two live in peace. However, if you are affected by wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness and fire, but you are affected by joy, anger, worry, thinking, sadness, fear and shock, that is, the "six lewdness" and "seven emotions" mentioned by traditional Chinese medicine, the abnormal changes of external environment and internal environment make the internal conditions of your body change, which gives the conditions for the development of this pathogenic factor.
By then, you have entered a state of illness, because it has begun to endanger your health.
Keeping the balance between Yin and Yang Can helps us not to get sick. Knowing this principle, we can avoid many diseases, such as cancer. When it comes to the influence of cancer cells on our human body, for example, just like our social environment, good people and bad people exist relatively. "When the water is clear, there will be no fish." When the water is too clear, even fish can't live. Then when the social order is normal, it doesn't matter if there are a few thieves. They won't make waves, because your overall state is good enough to control these thieves and stop them from developing. On the contrary, the whole social order is out of order, the police are thieves, and the bad guys will develop. When he develops to a certain extent, society will be in chaos, and what we call cancer will appear. Therefore, Chinese medicine believes that a very important cause is whether your own state is a condition for the survival and development of pathogenic factors. This pathogenic factor is a pathogenic factor for you, but it certainly has its role in the whole natural environment. If it doesn't work at all, there is no need for human beings to destroy it, and they will naturally destroy it. Therefore, Chinese medicine says that "healthy qi exists in the interior, evil cannot be done, and evil combination leads to qi deficiency". That is to say, if we keep our body in a state of balance between Yin and Yang, that is, the state of "Yin and Yang are secrets", then evil spirits will not make your body sick.
The application of this theory by Chinese medicine;
The smoothness of Yin Qi and the persistence of Yang Qi are the basic conditions for normal life activities, and they are in mutual adjustment and keep a relative balance. "Su Wen Angry God": "Yin Pingyang is the secret, and the spirit is the rule". What is the Secret of Yin Pingyang? This is not easy! It's just "balance of yin and yang"! Is it? This is the difference between the two ways of thinking-the difference between oriental and western ways of thinking. "Yin-Yang balance" is a kind of balanced thinking, which means equal and evenly matched, and it is absolute. For example, if a balance weighs 320 grams, it must use a weight of 320 grams. One more gram and one less gram can't balance the balance. Balance only says one aspect of yin and yang-flat tone.
Yin and he can't be balanced. For example, a person weighs 60 kilograms. Can you think so? It consists of 30 kilograms of Yin and 30 kilograms of Yang. Obviously wrong. More than 85% of the human body is water, even if the remaining 15% of these stylized tissues are not yang, the real yang of the human body is so "a little", how can there be a balance between yin and yang!
The Secret of Yin Pingyang is a steelyard thinking, and Yin stands for "balance" and is a steelyard. Yang stands for "force" and is weight. The height of the balance beam (scale) depends on the position of the weight (weight) in the scale star (secret). So the relationship between yin and yang is the relationship between strength and balance, that is, the relationship between balance beam and weight. The secret of Yin Pingyang is not absolute equivalence, the balance beam should be flat and the weight should be dense. It's only four or two thousand pounds, and it's skilled. This is the real thinking of Chinese medicine.
