Sun Simiao's health preserving theory and specific operation methods can be found in Fang Yao, and Fang Yi was written to make up for Fang Yao's deficiency. This paper introduces Sun Simiao's theory and method of keeping in good health. The full text is divided into eight parts: 1. The order of health preservation is the first; 2. Daolin is second in nutrition; 3. The third law of residence; 4. Massage method 4; 5. Modified atmosphere method 5; 6. The sixth law of feeding; 7. The Yellow Emperor is jealous of seven sons; 8. The room is the eighth. Throughout the full text of Fang Yao, it is most noteworthy that Sun Simiao called his way of keeping in good health nourishing rather than keeping in good health. Thus, Sun Simiao believes that the core of health preservation is nourishing. In the first section of Fang Yao, the so-called order of "nourishing nature first" means that the first thing in health preservation is nourishing nature, while in the second section, "Daolin nourishing nature second" introduces the methods of nourishing nature. On the premise of putting nourishing nature first, from the third section to the eighth section, this paper introduces various auxiliary health preservation methods such as staying at home, massage and regulating qi. Putting nourishing in the first place, supplemented by physical exercise, diet and daily life, nutrition and drugs, has formed a complete system of Sun Simiao's "way of keeping in good health".
Fang Yao's first part, "The First Order of Nourishing Nature", discusses what is nourishing nature and its importance. What is nurturing Sun Simiao believes that cultivating one's noble moral quality, jumping out of the self-centered outlook on life, downplaying the pursuit of fame and fortune, and achieving "fame for profit, survival for death, non-fame for profit, and survival for death" so as to maintain one's "quiet and peaceful" state of mind is nurturing. Regarding the importance of parenting, Sun Simiao believes that parenting can lead to health and longevity. Sun Simiao's original words are "nature is good, and all diseases at home and abroad are not born, and there is no cause for the disaster. This is also a great experience to nourish nature. " Sun Simiao thought: "Virtue can't be violated, life can't be prolonged, and you should take the elixir of jade liquid", that is to say, if you don't pay attention to self-cultivation, you can't achieve the goal of health and longevity only by taking medicine.
After emphasizing the importance of parenting in the first section "the first order of parenting", the second section "Daolin parenting" introduces the specific methods of parenting. The second section, "Cultivation of Daolin", will be a specific method to make it less than twelve and to remove more than twelve. "Think less, think less, desire less, do less, laugh less, worry less, be happy less, be angry less, be good less and be evil less" is twelve less. "Thinking too much is dangerous, thinking too much is disoriented, worrying too much is tiring, talking too much is tiring, laughing too much is harmful, worrying too much is fearful, being too happy is rampant, being too happy is chaotic, being too angry is uncertain, being too kind is devoted to indifference, being too evil is haggard and unhappy." Greater than 12 is the antonym of less than 12. If it is less than 12, remove more than 12, and if it is more than 12, remove less than 12. Sun Simiao believes that twelve young people are still the capital of cultivation. If you can't make twelve young people (that is, if you can't get rid of more than twelve), Wei Rong will lose his temper and lose his life.
Sun Simiao believes that if you want to live a long and healthy life, you must first cultivate your own nature, that is, recuperate your spiritual mind, so that it is always in a quiet and peaceful state. Specifically, it is necessary to achieve 12 fewer and get rid of 12 more. But the normal state of life happens to be twelve evils and twelve joys. Therefore, it is very difficult to get below 12 and get rid of more than 12, so it is difficult for most people to accept Sun Simiao's regimen. However, when people reach middle age, their physical health level gradually declines, and at the same time, they can gradually realize that the maintenance of physical health is more important than fame, wealth and pursuit outside the body, so as to realize the rationality of Sun Simiao's regimen of nourishing nature first, and then it is possible to accept Sun Simiao's regimen of keeping in good health, nurse their own mind, and gradually achieve twelve less and twelve more.
Sun Simiao took the health preserving theory of Ji Kang and Huangdi Neijing as the theoretical basis of his health preserving method. The regimen he elaborated in Fang Yao is the inheritance and development of Ji Kang and Huangdi Neijing. Fang Yao quoted Ji Kang's health preserving theory and a passage from Huangdi Neijing as the theoretical basis for his first health preserving task. In the first paragraph, Ji Kang said, "There are five difficulties in health preservation, one is to protect fame and fortune, the other is to protect emotions, the third is to protect emotions, the fourth is to protect the mind, and the fifth is to protect the mind." The purpose of this kind of health care is also. The second paragraph of Huangdi Neijing said, "When evil spirits are not in the wind, they are indifferent and empty, and the true qi follows, and the spirit is hidden inside, and the disease is always safe. "Ji Kang emphasizes the importance of self-cultivation, and believes that as long as you cultivate your mind, fame and fortune, emotions, debauchery, no taste, less thinking, no longevity, and natural longevity. If you can't do these five things, no matter what tonic you take or what kungfu Fu You you practice, you can't live a long and healthy life. Huangdi Neijing also emphasizes the importance of nourishing nature, arguing that as long as you can keep a quiet and peaceful mind, take back the invading qi and shut yourself in, qi will flow smoothly all over your body and your body will not be hurt by diseases. In short, the spirit of the two paragraphs is that if you want to live a long and healthy life, you must first cultivate your sexual ability, ignore it, and only pay attention to health care methods such as drug tonic and physical exercise. It is impossible to achieve the goal of health and longevity. Why do you say that self-cultivation (that is, self-cultivation and noble moral quality) can achieve the effect of health and longevity? Ji Kang believes: "Spirit is to bones, and there is a monarch in Judah. God is manic in the middle, his form is lost in the outside, the monarch is faint in the upper class, and the country is chaotic in the lower class "(Ji Kang's On Health). In other words, the human spirit restricts the human body. As long as people's spirit is not impetuous (that is, as long as the spirit remains peaceful and quiet), people's bodies (bones) will not get sick or die (buried outside).
Ji Kang and Sun Simiao's theory of keeping in good health based on nourishing is their own experience intuition, but the modern "psychosomatic medicine" after 1000 years proves that the experience intuition of Ji Kang and Sun Simiao is correct with the results. Psychoneuroimmunology, one of the important achievements of contemporary psychosomatic medicine, proves that a "peaceful and quiet" healthy psychology can enhance the immune ability of the immune system, thus improving the ability to resist diseases and maintain good health, which strongly supports Ji Kang and Sun Simiao's health preservation theory that "health preservation should first be nourished".
Sun Simiao didn't just talk about nourishing, but based on nourishing, and combined with other methods to preserve health. The third to eighth sections of Fang Yao introduced the auxiliary health preserving methods other than nourishing nature. These methods are daily life, massage, regulating qi, taking food, miscellaneous taboos and staying in the house. These six methods of health preservation, in today's words: to live is to have a regular life; Massage is often massage limbs; Regulating qi is the practice of breathing and exhaling; Eating means paying attention to proper nutrition and medication; Be temperate in talking about sex life in the room; Miscellaneous Taboos Talk about some taboos in life. It can be said that Sun Simiao's regimen is a comprehensive regimen, and it is really not easy to achieve it completely. However, if you care about your health and are willing to use Sun Simiao's regimen to guide your health practice, first of all, you should always adjust your mentality and keep it quiet. Then, regular diet, proper physical exercise, proper nutrition and taking necessary drugs can achieve the goal of health and longevity.
Wing Fang is a supplement to the other party's glory, emphasizing the importance of nourishing nature: first, nourishing the mind, second, loving the spirit, third, shaping, fourth, guiding, fifth, speaking, sixth, eating, seventh, anti-vulgarity, ninth, medicine, and tenth, taboo. To have spirit and love is to save consumption, which is the specific requirement of aftercare spirit. Fitness and guidance are appropriate physical exercises and breathing exercises. Speech is the language of caution. Diet is about proper nutrition, not the pursuit of appetite. Atrioventricular is about abstinence in sexual life. Medicine is about taking medicine to cure diseases, and you can often take some health care drugs. Taboo says that everything harmful to health should be avoided. Most people pursue fame and fortune, appetite satisfaction and sensory stimulation, while Sun Simiao's regimen is just the opposite. He doesn't pursue appetite and sensory stimulation, which is called anti-vulgarity. Sun Simiao described his regimen in a vivid sentence: the lamp uses a small wick, which means that the oil lamp can burn for a long time with a thin wick, but if it uses a thick wick, the oil will burn out soon. Keeping in good health is like using a small urn as a lamp. Doing twelve less is to save energy. Even changing a lamp with a small urn can prolong life, health and longevity. Wing Fang also discusses issues such as taking health care drugs and dietotherapy, but these contents are not the core part of Sun Simiao's regimen, so we won't discuss them further.
Sun Simiao regimen is an important representative of traditional regimen in China. Traditional health care in China and mass health care today (in fact, western health care) are two different health care methods. From the point of view of energy, the characteristic of western health preservation is to vent energy, emphasizing that "life lies in exercise", and the characteristic of exercise is to vent one's own energy. China's traditional health preservation is a kind of health preservation characterized by saving or converging energy, which emphasizes four words: saving energy, conditioning qi, guiding, talking less and moving less. Saving energy means saving energy, which is what Sun Simiao called a small wick for lamps. Man is the unity of body and mind. Western health care emphasizes physical exercise and body nourishment from both physical and mental aspects. Is a kind of health care characterized by health care. Although it is called health care, it is actually health care. The traditional health care in China emphasizes the mental and spiritual conditioning, and it can also be said that the traditional health care in China is a way to nourish the heart. So Sun Simiao called his way of keeping in good health "nourishing". Of course, the traditional health care in China is not only about nourishing the heart or nature, but also includes health care (necessary physical exercise and body nourishment). But I think the first is to cultivate one's mind or nature, and the second is to cultivate one's morality. On the surface, western health care shows the characteristics of positive and enterprising, which accords with people's positive spirit, so it is very popular with modern people. However, China's traditional health preservation shows the negative characteristics of introversion and convergence, which does not conform to the spirit of extroversion and enterprising of modern people, so it is not favored by modern people. Indeed, people who strive for their own career should have a spirit of striving for progress. It is difficult to accept the traditional health care method in China characterized by negative convergence, and we do not recommend the traditional health care method in China to these people. However, after middle age, people who gradually withdraw from the competition of their careers should take back their thoughts on the outside world and pay attention to their physical and mental health, so that they can find that the traditional health care in China is indeed a scientific health care that can safeguard their physical and mental health. Sun Simiao regimen is an important representative of traditional regimen in China, which is worthy of study, research and practice by middle-aged and elderly friends who care about regimen.
