Thinking hurts the spleen, which refers to excessive thinking, depressed temper, long-term injury, abnormal transport, eating less and acting foolishly, fullness in the chest, abdominal distension and loose stool. The essence of Houtianshui Valley is generated by the spleen and stomach, so the spleen and stomach are also called the source of acquired qi and blood biochemistry and the hub of human qi.

The idea of emotional health preservation in traditional Chinese medicine attaches importance to spiritual conditioning and moral cultivation. Here are four methods of emotional health preservation to protect our health.
"Su Wen? The ancient theory of innocence said: "Nothing is indifferent, and the true qi will follow, and God will hide in it, and illness will be safe"; Static is biochemical treatment, while dynamic is harsh. "It emphasizes the importance and necessity of emotional health for life and health. The ancients believed that in order to live a long and healthy life, we must be "carefree, feel at ease and fearless" ... eat well, be obedient, enjoy vulgarity, and compete with others without envy. Warn people to be content with a plain life, be happy in everything, feel at ease, be content, achieve noble moral cultivation, and achieve health and longevity.
Every emotion has its meaning of existence, which corresponds to our physical and mental response to a certain situation. When your needs are met or your goals are achieved, you will feel happy. When the goal or desire cannot be achieved, anger will arise; You will feel sad when something valuable is lost or broken. When an emotion appears, we don't need to suppress it, escape it or rush to get rid of it. We should treat it well, learn to accept it, try to interpret it and see what kind of information it sends to ourselves. Only in this way can we accurately grasp emotions and treat them gently. Try to do some other things before the mood comes, such as taking a deep breath, closing your eyes, leaving the scene, listening to music, reading, taking a bath, running and so on. In this way, the bad mood will gradually resolve and your mood will reach the best level.
Seven emotions are a summary of emotional activities. Harmony of seven emotions, physical and mental health; Too much emotion is the source of disease. Huangdi Neijing is "indifferent to nothingness, true qi follows, spirit hides inside, and illness is always safe"; Sun Simiao's "A Thousand Girls Spread their Wings"? Nourishing nature records: "Laozi said: life is limited to a hundred years, and the guardian can be old for a thousand years." If the ointment is small and big, everyone talks big and I whisper. Everyone is complicated. I remember that everyone is violent and I am not angry. "Compare the essence, qi and spirit of the human body to lamp oil. If the wick is thick, oil will easily flow out. Only by paying attention to the cultivation of mind and being indifferent to life can life be continued.
"There are hundreds of rivers and rivers, and there is great tolerance." China's traditional emotional health care methods are vast, complicated and intertwined, forming wisdom full of China's life and culture. Everyone's living and working environment is different, changing all the time. I hope everyone can combine their own situation and find a unique way to keep fit.
