Bian Que, a native of Zheng Renye, Bohai County, surnamed Qin, is a Vietnamese. From the historical records of Bian Que, we can see that Bian Que, the originator of traditional Chinese medicine in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, was brilliant in preventing and treating diseases.
The importance of disease prevention.
The doctor's treatment has three levels: depending on the spirit of the disease, the disease is occurring, and the disease enters the viscera. Each level is very important, but the significance of preventing diseases is even greater. "Diseases are not tangible but removed." You'd better not get sick, even if you can't get sick completely, you should get sick less, get sick late, get seriously ill, make no progress after illness, and don't relapse after illness. As the Huangdi Neijing said: "The sage does not cure the disease, and it is chaotic to cure the disease. Disease becomes medicine, chaos becomes cure. Isn't it too late to fight for a cone after crossing the well? " "Wei" and "Wei" are exactly the same, but the strokes are different in length, but their meanings are completely different. The advantage of Chinese medicine lies in treating the disease before it happens, preserving health before it happens, trying to save the disease and prevent its occurrence and progress, instead of paying attention to the treatment at the end of the disease, which will get twice the result with half the effort or even have no medicine to cure it.
Possibility of preventing disease
The disease lies in the pathogenesis, blood vessels, intestines and stomach, viscera and bone marrow, and gradually develops from shallow disease to minor disease to deep disease and serious disease, so it is necessary to diagnose and intervene from the early stage of the disease. At different stages of the disease, there are different treatments: boiling soup, needle stone, wine mash, blood, poison, lateral skin and so on. "Many doctors are ill and few are ill". No matter how ill they are, no matter how good the doctor is, there is no cure or his medical skills are too poor, he is still half dead. "If a saint can predict and a good doctor can get fleas to engage in it, then the disease can be cured and the body can live." This also means that "Xing Li can't take medicine, even if he is cured after five days". The significance of disease prevention lies in finding small problems as early as possible, and then applying appropriate methods to prevent small problems.
Rationality of disease prevention
"Arrogance, regardless of reason, can't be cured once", "Intellectuals lack money, can't be cured twice", and "Believing in witches but not doctors, can't be cured six times", warning people that they are self-righteous, ignorant of right and wrong, arrogant, reckless, reckless, greedy for comfort, overworked, inadequate food and clothing, staying up late, and intellectuals lack money and superstitious witchcraft are obviously not good for health and health. More importantly, when you are not sick, you should know the "principle" of health preservation, be modest and eager to learn, distinguish right from wrong, integrate knowledge with practice, keep pace with the times and be cautious from beginning to end. Paying attention to wealth not only means that you are reluctant to spend money to treat diseases when you are sick, but also warns people not to overdraw your body for money and fame when you are not sick, which will damage your qi and blood and lead to illness. At present, more than 500 thousand people die suddenly every year in China, and tragedies are constantly staged. The root cause lies in ignorance of life and health.
Life before illness
There are thousands of ways to keep healthy and live longer, but Bian Que tells us that the most important thing is in our daily life. "Food and clothing are not enough, and three courses of treatment can't be cured." Dressing and eating should suit one's physique, age, sex, time, season and region. It is also necessary to increase or decrease clothes and adjust the amount and structure of diet according to mental and physical activities such as labor and sports and the working environment. For example, "spring covers the autumn", "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer", "eat well early, eat well at noon and eat less at night" and so on. "Yin and Yang merge, the dirty qi is inaccurate, and the four can't be cured", so we should pay attention to the transformation of Yin and Yang at four o'clock in the day and night, instead of combining Yin and Yang into one, without Yin and Yang, leading to deficiency of Qi and blood in the meridians of the internal organs, disorder and uncertainty, and then getting sick. Avoid the combination of yin and yang. The most important thing for urbanites, especially young people, is not to sleep at night and not to get up in the morning. There is no sunshine during the day, and it is under the fluorescent lamp all day, which is not connected with the yin and yang of nature. Over time, the eyes are prone to myopia, the spine is prone to lateral bending, the body is prone to stiffness, and physical strength declines. Not only is qi and blood insufficient, but it is also easy to cause willpower and mental disorders. Then turn on the air conditioner in summer, the room temperature is too low, and you can't sweat when you sweat; When the heating is turned on in winter, the room temperature is too high, and when it is sealed, the skin will be hot and sweaty, and it is easy to catch cold. In Huangdi Neijing, the general principles of health preservation, namely, "Yin and Yang are the foundation of health preservation, the skills are harmonious, the diet is moderate, the daily life is regular, and nothing is achieved without effort", and "virtual evils are taboo, sometimes nothing is indifferent, and the true qi is followed, so the spirit is hidden inside and the illness is safe", are in the same strain as Bian Que's health preservation methods!
Chinese medicine has a long history of preventing diseases. 2400 years ago, Bian Que attached great importance to the prevention of diseases, or Chinese medicine always attached importance to the treatment of diseases and the prevention and treatment of diseases. So some modern people are so modern, so civilized and so smart, why don't they pay attention to preventing diseases? On the contrary, there are more and more mental diseases, physical diseases and psychosomatic diseases. Each disease is treated in three parts and raised in seven parts. The first person responsible for everyone's health is himself. No matter what kind of life you want, health is the first demand!
Attachment: Historical Records of Bian Que
"Guo Guanzi" contains: King Wen of Wei asked Bian Que: "Which of Zi Kundi's three sons is the best doctor?" Bian Que said: "The eldest brother is the best, the second brother is the second, and Bian Que is the last." King Wen of Wei said, "Can you smell evil?" Bian Que said, "Eldest brother went to see God because he was ill, but he didn't get rid of it, so his name didn't come from home. Brother Zhong's treatment is not bad at all, so his name is not from Lu. If Bian Que, blood, poison, vice skin, idle and named minister ".
Historical records? "Biography of Bian Que and Cang Gong" contains: Being too neat and entertaining guests. When he entered the DPRK, he said, "Illness is deep." The result said, "I'm not sick." . When Bian Que came out, Huan Hou said to his left and right, "It is also good for doctors to use those who are not sick. Five days later, Bian Que saw him again and said, "There is a disease in your blood, but if you don't treat it, you will be afraid." And it said, "I'm not sick. "."Bian Que, huan hou. Five days later, Bian Que saw him again and said, "You have a disease in your stomach, but if you don't treat it, it will be deep." The result was ignored again. Bian Que and Huan Hou were unhappy. Five days later, Bian Que saw Huan Hou again and retreated. Huan Hou made people ask why. Bian Que said: "The disease is in the house and the soup is being ironed." In the blood, the needle stone is also within reach; It is in the stomach, and the wine mash is there; It goes deep into the bone marrow, although there is nothing to do. Now in the bone marrow, I didn't invite. "Five days later, Huan Hou was ill, and his name was Bian Que. Bian Que has escaped. Then I died of illness.
Historical records? "Biography of Bian Que Cang Gong" contains: sages can predict micro-vision, and good doctors can make fleas move, so that diseases can be cured and the body can live. People suffer from many diseases; However, doctors are seldom ill. Therefore, there are six incurable diseases: arrogance, for whatever reason, is incurable; Intellectual man fit and heavy wealth, two governance also; Food and clothing are inadequate, and three treatments will not heal; Yin and yang are combined, the dirty qi is uncertain, and the four are incurable; Can't take medicine, five courses of treatment can't be cured; If you trust witches instead of doctors, you won't be cured after six treatments. If there is, it will be difficult to treat.
