Qi is a very important concept in China traditional medicine and Taoist culture, and it has three relationships with the word "Qi": "Qi, Qi and Qi". What substance or energy are these gases? What are the differences and differences between them?
First of all, let's talk about the "qi" of this air, including weather, local gas, polluted gas, clean gas, nutrient gas, defensive gas, true qi and vitality. It describes a state, that is, a form that can be perceived, so it is interpreted as a cloud gas, and all gas comes from gas.
Let's look at the word "rice" under the word "qi", which means that the grains we eat are converted into energy, that is, the subtle substances in Shui Gu, that is, the acquired "qi", which contains food.
Then there is the word "brush" of innate qi:
Ancient health care experts believed that "playing" and "qi" were two different concepts. "Play" is the initial innate energy of human body, and "Qi" refers to the energy generated through acquired breathing and diet. Qigong exercise is mainly to connect innate "communication" through acquired breathing and other methods, so as to achieve the effect of healthy fitness and longevity. "Play" and "Qi" are both ancient characters, meaning cloud qi and hieroglyphics. It also means breathing and smell. Before the Tang Dynasty, there was no difference between the two.
Later, Taoism used "play" to represent nature, which is the source of all life and things, and "qi" to represent the day after tomorrow, so the meanings of the two were separated. This four-character poem appears in many ancient Taoist books, and there are these four words in the general Taoist temple:
This gas can also be said to be unique to Taoism. There is a saying in Tao Te Ching: Everything is negative and holds Yang, and harmony is one.
Lao Tzu said that "shua" is a substance between Yin and Yang, which is the primitive chaotic state of Yin and Yang and the most primitive energy in the universe. This refers to innate vitality, which cannot be compared with acquired qi. Taoism believes that congenital Tong Yuan is the source of life, and this "communication" is formed by our contact from our mother's womb.
It comes from natural energy, which is the internal energy to maintain our body balance. It is different from air. It needs to stimulate physiological functions such as viscera, meridians and acupoints through the human body as a conductor to help the human body achieve a balanced state.
The concept of Lian is recorded in many ancient books and Huangdi Neijing. It first appeared in the Warring States period, then formed in the Han Dynasty, and developed into the Ming and Qing Dynasties after thousands of years. It is recorded in relevant ancient books as "Theory of Vitality" and "Theory of Vitality". The explanation in Shuo Wen Jie Zi is that the theory of "seeking for the same spirit" originated from Guan Yinzi's thought that it is equal to and higher than "qi". We can think of it as ions, including anions and cations, which maintain our life activities with unique fluidity.
There have been many records about "Qi" in pre-Qin literature, such as "Mandarin? Zhou Yu: "The sum of heaven and earth cannot be out of order"; And "Mandarin? Zhou Yushang: "From now on, as for the first day, the earth will evaporate every day." There are also many records about Zuozhuan, such as Zuozhuan? Zhao Gongnian: "There are six days in the sky, with five flavors, five colors, five tones, and six diseases. The six words are yin, yang, wind, rain, yin and Ming. " These six forces can also be understood as six forces.
Therefore, the word "play" covers all the functions of Qi, and the word "play" is "nothing" and the bottom is four points. This quarter represents fire, which means "out of nothing", and it contains a kind of energy, including this electromagnetic wave, gas, gold, wood, water, fire, earth and so on. This is the origin of the creation of all things in the universe and the basic energy for the continuation of all things in the universe. This is an endless energy flow.
Monks think this word is unintentional, so this "shua" also means pure inaction. Since he is innate, it is a kind of energy that runs through the visible and invisible of the universe, and this energy can be used through consciousness to achieve the purpose of health preservation, then this "qi" is the most basic energy source in the body, and we can mobilize it through special methods, such as breathing through qigong and meditation.
People who sit still think that the energy of "slave" can achieve healing and health care for the human body through the interaction of action and consciousness. This "slave" has changed from form to existence since the beginning of the universe. It is a subtle substance, as the mechanism and energy substance of the creation of all things in the universe, but it is invisible!
