There are many discussions on this in the literature of past dynasties, and there is a discussion on guiding breathing to treat diseases in Lu Chunqiu in Qin and Han Dynasties. The article "Zhuangzi Deliberately" says: "Breathe, spit out the old and take in the new, and spread the bird through the path, just for longevity." In the Biography of Wang Baolie in the Western Han Dynasty, there is also a record of "silence, breathing like a pine". Tao Hongjing invented the long interest method in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. He said in the book "nourishing and prolonging life": "When moving qi, inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth, and walk in the name of long qi. One inhalation, six exhalation. Inhalation is called inhalation, exhalation is called blowing, breathing, laughing, hehe, hissing, hissing, all of which are methods of breathing for a long time. It can be blown when it is cold, cured when it is warm, blown to remove wind, called to remove heat, hippies to remove annoyance, harmony with qi, relaxation with stagnation, and harmony with extreme solution. " The exorcist of Tiantai Sect in Sui Dynasty also put forward a six-character formula for treating diseases in his book Meditation. He said: but Guan believes that people who use six qi to treat diseases can also treat diseases through Guan. What are six kinds of qi, one blowing and two calling, four calling, five hissing and six hissing in San Xiao? These six smells are all in the lips, so it's convenient to think about them. Sit on the edge and use them slightly. Ode to the sun: the heart belongs to the kidney, the spleen is blowing, the lungs are beating, and the liver is hot, but words are treated. Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a health song in the order of five elements and four seasons, which laid the foundation for the six-character formula to cure diseases.
Song Yun:
Clear the heart and improve eyesight in spring, nourish the heart in summer and nourish the lungs and kidneys in autumn and winter.
In the four seasons, the spleen often turns to food, and the heat of the triple energizer is hard to stop.
Comb your hair frequently, collect your breath, count your bittern and swallow it.
If you want to repair Kunlun, you will always rub your hands.
In the Ming Dynasty, the orthodox Taoist Tibetan Cave God Department quoted the regimen of Taishang Laojun, which was more specific. The book says: the word "Shu" governs the lung, and the lung is connected with the five internal organs. When you were blown by the wind, your nose was blocked. If you have a disease, you can treat it by vomiting. Oh, words, heart, heart and tongue are connected, heart is hot and tongue is dry, and disease is treated by vomiting. Shout words, shout spleen, spleen is connected with lips, spleen is hot, that is, lips are burnt. If you have a disease, you can treat it by exhaling. Hush word, hush governs the liver, and the liver is connected with the eye. On intense liver fire and red eyes, if there is a disease, it is treated by asking for help and vomiting. Hippies dominate the triple energizer. If you get sick, spit it out and you can cure it.
Gong Tingxian of the Imperial Hospital in the Ming Dynasty also talked about the six-character formula for treating diseases in his book "Shoushi Baoyuan". The book says: "Don't refine the elixir, swallow the jade liquid, exhale the poison from the viscera, and inhale the clarity of heaven and earth." He also said: "The qi of the five internal organs burns all five flavors, but it is also full of six desires and seven emotions. Long-term illness injures the internal organs and attacks the external nine orifices, which leads to the illness of hundreds of skeletons, ranging from addiction to blindness and heavy casualties. Therefore, it is too merciful to treat the diseases of the five internal organs with a six-character prescription. Its method is to expel the poisonous gas from the zang-fu organs by calling words, and to collect the clear gas from heaven and earth and replenish qi by inhaling. The quiz on the same day, the big exam on the tenth day, no illness after the year, long life. Don't pass on the treasure of health to others. There are six ways to shout: roar, roar, moo, hi, shh, blow and suck. There are six types of breathing, namely "Ha" for treating heart qi, "Hu" for treating temper, "Shu" for treating lung qi, "Yu Shu" for treating kidney qi and "Xi" for treating gallbladder qi. This six-character formula divides the internal organs into six parts.
