In the concrete operation and theoretical achievements of health care, the ancients thought that the most important thing of health care is self-cultivation, and the essence of health care is important because of the harmony of qi, vitality and yin and yang. Therefore, "spirit" is the core of health and longevity. If we discuss health and longevity from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, we can clearly reveal the mystery of prolonging life.
The concept of TCM health preservation includes three aspects: the unity of heaven and man, the balance of yin and yang, and the cultivation of form and spirit. The concept of harmony between man and nature is that human beings should adapt to the climate change of the four seasons, be cold, hot and cool, and actively adjust themselves. The imbalance of yin and yang is the main cause of physical diseases. Some measures are put forward to maintain the balance of yin and yang in body and mind, such as nourishing the mind, regulating diet, exercising, having sex with caution, and keeping warm and cold. Double cultivation of body and mind means exercising through exercise and adjusting emotional life through rest.
What is the Taoist concept of health preservation?
Health care, also known as taking health care. The word "taking photos of life" comes from the fiftieth chapter of Tao Te Ching, which says: "Gai Wenshan takes photos of life, walking on land, will not meet tigers, nor will he be recruited into the army." When Hegang Gong annotated the Tao Te Ching in the Han Dynasty, Ceng Yun said, "Take pictures and raise them." . Taoism has always attached importance to and cherished life. Ge Hong pointed out: "Heaven and earth are great virtues, that is, life, life and goodness. It is because Taoism is the most secret and heavy, and it is nothing more than a longevity side. "
Through the Yellow Emperor's question to Qi Bo, we know that people nowadays are suffering from evil life and death and love the cause of life and death. Pay more attention to the name of morality, not moral trip. Joy means success, meanness means poverty and humiliation. Exhausting rare goods is a blessing to the city in the afterlife. If you are easily infected, you will lose this way of life. Therefore, Miao Zhenjing lamented that "people often get lost in the Tao, but they don't lose people in the Tao."
