The book holds that there are immortals everywhere in the human body, and it is the first time to put forward the theory of "Three Dantian". Many methods of thinking and observation are introduced.
Huang Ting Jing is an important classic of Taoist Shangqing School, which belongs to Dong Xuan School. Huang Ting Jing, Huang Ting Yu Jing, Huang Ting Yu Jing and Huang Ting Yu Jing can be shelved for the time being because the classics appeared late. There are always different opinions about the author, the time of completion and their relationship of the Internal and External Classics. Mr. Wang Ming, a modern man, made a detailed textual research in Huangdi Neijing, and thought that Huang Ting, a herbal medicine with seven-character poems, had been privately collected by the people in Wei and Jin Dynasties. About the ninth year of Jin Taikang (288), Wei, a female Taoist, got this herb and wrote it down. Or there is a Taoist dictation, and the transcript is written in the final edition of Huangdi Neijing. In the ninth year of Jin Xian Di (334), Wei died of illness, and The Exterior of Huang Ting was published around this time. It is written according to Neijing, and the author is ominous. This is to advocate that Neijing appeared before Waijing. In history, some people think that Neijing appeared after Waijing, such as Ouyang Xiu.
There is no doubt that Neijing and Waijing have the same intention. This classic has been extensively proofread and annotated. The earliest annotation seen today is Bailuyuan (No.Liang Qiu Zi), a hermit in Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, which was included in Seven Signs of Yun Qi and Ten Books of Dingzhen. , Ouyang Xiu,, Jiang, etc. Huang Tingjing is annotated by everyone, while Dong Dening's Brief Introduction to Huang Tingjing in Qing Dynasty is easy to understand, while Chen Yingning's Lecture Notes on Huang Tingjing is a classified interpretation to solve problems. According to the Seven Signs of Yunfu and Neijing, there are 36 chapters, with the first two words as the title of each chapter, and the text is 4 16 sentences and 29 12 words; The Table Classic is divided into three parts, with 98 sentences and 686 words. Other books are roughly the same as this one. There are different interpretations of the meaning of the word "Huang Ting". The orthodox Taoist priest dyed Qiu Zi's preface: "Yellow is the color of the central government; The court is also among the quartet. External things, that is, heaven and earth people; Internal reference refers to things, that is, the center of the brain is in the spleen, so it is called' Huangting'.
Inside, the heart also; The scenery, I like it. The external image is the image of the sun, moon, stars and clouds; The internal image Oracle Bone Inscriptions is the image of flesh and blood, bones and viscera. The mind lives in the body, and the image of ideas is integrated into one, so it is also called interior. Wang Ming's textual research on Huang Ting's exegesis said: "According to Huang Ting's three palaces, the upper palace is in the brain, the middle palace is in the heart, the lower palace is in the spleen, yellow is in the middle color, and the court is in the four directions, which has a middle meaning. The insider is full of energy and looks to God: it seems to be a pun. " Today, Chen Yingning thinks that the court is an empty space in front of the steps, so Huangting means hollow, a blank space in the navel of the human body. In short, "yellow" is the color of the central government (according to the five elements: east, south fire, central Wuji soil, western gold, northern water). The color of the earth is yellow, so yellow is the color of the center), "court" refers to the square, or refers to the open space in front of the steps, and "yellow court" refers to the hollow phenomenon of Taoist internal work.
Interior is also known as the Emperor's Father, Donghua Jade Piece and The Golden Book of the Great. Wei and Jin dynasties have been called the book of Taoist health preservation. In fact, it is far away from the books on general health care drugs and longevity skills. Instead, it inherits the theory of "five zang-organs and gods" in the Han Dynasty, based on the theory that the body and viscera have their own masters, combined with the Taoist theory that the body in the form of seven-character poems has its own gods, and pays attention to "thinking" as a key to cultivation. Because it is a classic worshipped by the early Qing school, it is also called the Jade Sutra of the Interior Scene in Qing Dynasty. Neijing contains some medical theories, which respectively discuss the general situation and main physiological functions of the main organs of the human body, among which chapter 14 focuses on the physiological functions of the five internal organs and gallbladder. It is believed that the heart is the king of viscera, which can know cold and heat, reconcile Wei Rong, dredge blood vessels and regulate yin and yang. When the heart opens from the tongue, it can exhale the qi of the five internal organs and identify the taste of the five elements. Therefore, people can feel at ease, be healthy and be healthy. The liver is the mastermind, hiding blood and soul.
In the classics, it is believed that the liver opens its eyes like the sun and the moon, and the five elements close the mirror. Liver qi is combined with triple energizer, while body fluid in mouth is below. Body fluid passes through Xuan Ying and enters Tang Ming's abdomen. It exudes true qi, nourishes all bones, and ends in vain. Spleen is the foundation of granary, which makes grains eaten raw and turns dross into dross. It thinks that the spleen is in the middle, lying in the stomach, and the face should be outside; The combination of spleen and stomach provides nutrition, so blood vessels are unobstructed, bones and muscles are strong, and skin is rich in nutrition, which can prolong life. Therefore, it attaches importance to the function of the spleen, and is called the Lower Huang Ting Palace, the foundation of the human body and the hub of the five internal organs. The lung is the source of qi, which is enlightened by the nose and distributed by the qi of the seven orifices, making the eyes and ears agile. It is believed that lung qi comes from triple energizer and can regulate the vitality of five internal organs. If people can swallow body fluid into the abdomen, their skin color will be bright, their pulse will be smooth, their teeth will be firm and black, and they will not be aging. Kidney is essence, the foundation of congenital, the root of vitality and the main bone. In the classics, it is believed that the kidney governs the five internal organs, and nine fluids are stolen. When the kidney qi is sufficient, the ears are bright, the muscles are strong and the bones are healthy, and the pulse is smooth. It is also believed that people can live longer if sperm is stopped. According to the scripture, bravery governs decision, which is the essence of six internal organs. If people use courage and strength together, they can catch tigers and soldiers. He also thinks that bravery is more famous than eyebrows, both emotions are here, and anger is on the rise.
Neijing also absorbed the concept of "five zang-organs gods" in the "Gong Lao Zhang Clause on the River" and "Taiping Jing", and developed into the 24 theology theory of the March 8 scene, which holds that gods live in all parts of the human body. The "Three Eight Scenes and Twenty Four Gods" means that the human body is divided into three parts: Shangyuan Palace, Zhongyuan Palace and Xia Yuan Palace. Every part of Yuan Gong is guarded by the Eight Scenic Gods, that is, the Eight Scenic Gods Town above is in Shangyuan Palace, the Eight Scenic Gods Town in the middle is in Meiyuan Palace, and the Eight Scenic Gods Town below is in Xia Yuan Palace. According to Buddhist scriptures, if people can think about the three or eight scenes and twenty-four gods, the qi of the three fields and five zang-organs will be harmonious, there will be no disease, and they can even take advantage of the immortals in Yun Sheng. It is worth noting that the names of these gods are not randomly chosen, but are extracted and summarized according to the functions, positions, colors and states of human organs. For example, the face of the seven gods introduced: "the word' send God' is too yuan"; Brain essence root word mud pill "; Bright eyes and mysterious words "; "the nose god is strong" and the ear god is idle "; The tongue is magical, and the word is positive "tooth god ■ peak word Luo Qian".
The names of these gods are all image summaries of corresponding organs, each with its own characteristics. According to the scriptures, the human body is dominated by these gods, and only by maintaining normal physiological activities can it be "empowered by form and spirit". These gods are different from supernatural gods, but "functional gods" that dominate human physiological activities. This also reflects some correct understanding of human organ function in ancient times, but it is obviously wrong for them to attribute the dominant position of human organ function to God.
Neijing also elaborated on "thinking method". In the early Taoist Taiping Jing, there was a saying that all the five internal organs and diseases could be removed, and Neijing inherited this idea and further developed it. It is believed that "there are hundreds of thoughts in your mind, depending on the degree", that is, you are required to have a hundred minds, breathe up and down, and eliminate other thoughts. He also believes that "thinking can climb high into the sky" means taking the method of thinking as the way to learn immortality. It can be said that thinking is a typical cultivation method of Taoist Shangqing school and the core content of Neijing. The so-called thinking method, Neijing contains two aspects, one is to think about the god inside, and the other is to think about things outside.
Taoism believes that the human body is multi-god, and the five internal organs are the main gods, so it pays attention to color, shape, qi, clothing and name. Neijing discusses the five internal organs such as heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney respectively, among which the heart is the most discussed. The Buddhist scriptures say: "The kings of the Five Zangs (Dirty) are upright in their hearts, and their moral behaviors are pure, kind and self-evident, sitting on the pillar of my furniture, hiding in the daytime and hiding in the dusk, communicating with Lihua, and fine-tuning Yin and Yang." This is that the heart has gods and is the king of the five internal organs. If you always think about your mind, then if Yin and Yang are in harmony and the viscera are well adjusted, there will be no disease. Thinking about liver qi: "The liver qi is clear and long, and there are three lights in the Sixth Hospital ... The five-color clouds are lush and close."
The liver belongs to the oriental wood position, which is mainly green, so the liver qi is vigorous and clear for a long time. For example, oriental wood dominates spring and the liver is the source of anger. Close your eyes and meditate and get angry all over the internal organs, corresponding to the internal organs, and five colors of clouds and qi are on it, such as the brightness of the sun, the moon and the stars, which can be used to observe the internal organs for a long time. "Introspection" is an important thought in meditation, which means that the yogi closes his eyes and meditates, then looks at his body and fills it with air, making his body clear. On the spirit of guarding the spleen: "The spleen is one foot long and covers Taicang, and the middle and old emperors rule Tang Ming ... yellow clothes and purple dragons and tigers seal, and long life depends on the king. Three people call me God." Spleen in the palace as the center, spleen and spirit together, can increase essence, prolong life, learn conscience, self-spirituality. About the spirit of thinking about the lungs: "The lung palace is like a canopy, and there are teenagers sitting in the jade pavilion. ..... plain brocade Huang Yun, shortness of breath, Baiyun six short of breath. Immortals don't see disasters long ago, and they don't stay. " The lung is a golden palace, above the five internal organs, shaped like a canopy.
Boys and white clouds both refer to lung gods. When breathing is uncertain, breathing is not smooth, and your body is unhappy, you should think about your lungs quickly, so as to reconcile the six qi and avoid disaster. If you often use this method, you can keep your body alive. On the spirit of keeping thinking about the kidney: "In the mysterious garden of the Kidney Palace, there is a mysterious boy, ... Cangjin Yi Yun dances the dragon and the flag, ... all kinds of diseases and disasters need first aid, and two water kings face their disciples and make people live for nine days." Kidney is water palace. Xuanzang Garden refers to kidney shape. Boys and water kings both refer to kidney gods. When you are sick, you should think of your kidney immediately, so that you can turn misfortune into luck, avoid getting sick and live forever.
Neijing put forward the theory of "Three Dantian". In the early Taoist books before this sutra, the name of Sandantian has not appeared. Taiping Jing and Dadong Zhen Jing mentioned some related names, such as clay pill, heart and navel. Only in Neijing did the concept of "Three Dantian" be clearly put forward. The abdomen is divided into upper, middle and lower fields, so it cooperates with the "three fields". Every field has a god, so there are "three gods". Because the belly space, Fiona Fang is one inch, so it is called Tamura. The following is a brief introduction to Sandantian.
About Shangdantian: Three inches between the eyebrows is Shangdantian Palace, also called Mud Pill Palace. "Mud pills have all kinds of gods ... the god of one side lives in mud pills, and mud pills have all kinds of rooms. Fiona Fang is here one inch, taking purple clothes and flying clothes, but he thinks that his life is endless. He doesn't live separately in his mind and sits outside every time. " It is about the Mud Pillow Palace, which is the head of the whole body and the Lord of all gods. All kinds of gods in the mud pill are scheduled to sit down under the auspices of the brain.
