Human body is an organic whole.
The viscera theory of traditional Chinese medicine holds that the human body is an organic whole and divided into five systems. The human body takes the five internal organs (heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney) as the core, gallbladder, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, bladder and triple energizer as the six internal organs, and the five internal organs and six internal organs are connected with fur, bones and muscles and limbs through the connection of meridians, thus forming the human body.
Therefore, there is an idiom of treating each other with sincerity. It describes the relationship between liver and gallbladder well. Heart and small intestine, stomach and spleen, lung and large intestine, kidney and bladder.
Connect the above separately, and five systems are formed. When we talk about the functions of the five internal organs, we are actually talking about the functions of the five internal organs to ourselves, to other genera and to the whole system. When we locate the five internal organs, they are our internal organs.
Therefore, the five internal organs of traditional Chinese medicine are an abstract concept, and their functions far exceed those of organs in western medicine, such as heart and liver.
At the same time, some expressions in Chinese medicine are actually related and interlinked with ancient culture. Many idioms handed down from ancient times have medical reasons in them. For example, when we describe a person, it is easy to lose his temper and cry; Describe a person as timid as a mouse. It can be seen that Chinese medicine believes that organs such as liver and gallbladder are inseparable from people's emotions and temperament.
In terms of symptoms, such as personal constipation, we say that he has lung qi deficiency, and he needs to be given some drugs or food in treatment or diet to supplement his lung qi. After eating, the stool will be unobstructed, because the lungs and the large intestine are mutually exterior and interior.
For example, if a person is upset and irritable and has a particularly strong heart fire, then the fire will move down to the small intestine, and what symptoms will it produce in the small intestine? This person may have a burning sensation when urinating.
"Yu Su Wen Ji Zhen Zang Lun" puts forward: "The five internal organs are interlinked and all move twice." If these theories are formulated according to the concepts of modern medicine, they are completely irrelevant and incomprehensible, but these experiences are really summed up from thousands of years of clinical experience, life practice and treatment, and they are very scientific.
For another example, the liver is connected with the eyes, the lungs are connected with the nose, and the heart is connected with the tongue, from microscopic symptoms to the macro environment. So as long as we understand the structure of this model, we can get some health guidance in health preservation.
There is a "drug choice"
Many people think that they are not feeling well, and then buy a lot of high-grade nutrition to supplement their health. They think that the higher the nutrients, the better their health. I think this is a complete misunderstanding.
Nowadays, there are often some drug advertisements in the society that exaggerate the curative effect irresponsibly, saying that they have studied or found something and how good it is. This thing is necessary for the human body and will make you pay a high price. For example, we often see signs of recycling Cordyceps sinensis hanging in many shops on the street. People who sell Cordyceps sinensis will say: This thing is so precious, it costs tens of thousands of dollars a kilogram. If you eat it, it will certainly prolong your life.
I'm not saying that Cordyceps sinensis is not good. It is indeed a precious Chinese medicine, but it is not suitable for everyone, and blind use may even have side effects. Nowadays, the magical effect of Cordyceps sinensis seems to make people enter a misunderstanding, which is also a change in the world.
If you look at the structural model of the five zang-organs system, you will know that the body should maintain a dynamic balance, so is your body lacking this kind of thing? If you lack this kind of thing, just eat it; If there is no shortage, it is useless to eat this thing no matter how expensive it is.
There is a saying in Chinese medicine that "choose the right medicine", that is, take this medicine if you have this disease, and it will be useless without this disease.
A ridiculous method of keeping in good health was once popular in Song Dynasty. At that time, the nobles took health care as their privilege, so what did they eat in health care? They eat stones, like stalactites. At that time, people's understanding was that stalactites only grew so long in tens of millions of years, and they would certainly live long after eating them, giving them many beautiful names. But is this really the case? Of course not. Modern people may find it difficult to understand.
Let me tell you another story. In ancient times, there was a man who went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. In ancient times, the traffic was underdeveloped, so it was not easy to go to Beijing. All the way to Beijing, he got lung disease. After that, many doctors failed to cure me, and my travel expenses were almost the same. There's really nothing we can do.
Later, he met a tall man. The master said to him, "I may be able to cure your illness." I tell you, you go to the market to buy two baskets of pears. Now it's just producing red pears, and the price is very cheap. You get two baskets of pears, put them on the donkey's back, and you can go home. How many pears do you eat on your way home every day? If you have finished eating, you can buy some more. You just eat pears every day. When you sleep in the hotel at night, you put this pear in a stone tool, mash it, and then drink pear juice. "
There is no other good way to consider. As a result, the man did as the master said. As a result, when he got home, his lung disease really recovered. Why? Because pear tastes sweet and cold, it's good for the lungs, that's all. As a result, people who didn't know the truth at that time said that this kind of pear could detoxify, which led to the soaring price of Xiaohong pear and the amazing effect.
Health should have a normal heart.
Everyone has the heart to live a long life, and everyone who keeps in good health wants it.
Health, can not only seek one method and one technique, but also can not be divorced from real life, can not be divorced from human nature and do not eat fireworks.
The art of keeping in good health without quality of life is not only meaningless, but even painful.
China's traditional concept of health preservation is called "health preservation", "health preservation", "good health", "care for health" and "moral health".
"Hygiene" is to defend life; "Health preservation" is to save life; "Good health" is kindness to life; "Taking life" is to adjust life; Tao Sheng requires all the above aspects to abide by certain statutes, which is the first sentence at the beginning of Tao Te Ching: "People should follow the land, the land should follow the sky, the sky should follow the way, and the road should follow nature." People should follow the laws of nature, nature should follow the laws of the universe, and the universe should follow a statute, which is nature.
"The way of keeping in good health" refers to the principle of keeping in good health, which requires people to go with the flow and conform to nature.
"The art of keeping in good health" refers to the specific measures taken under the guidance of keeping in good health law. Many behaviors in our daily life, such as eating, drinking, pulling, urinating, sleeping, walking, moving, sitting, lying and walking, all involve health care measures.
The characteristics of the "Measures" are to emphasize individual behavior, and the methods adopted should adopt different health care measures according to the different situations of everyone, so-called "nurturing for people" and "nurturing for people". In families and social groups, everyone's health care measures do not adhere to unity. For example, A needs to focus on strengthening, B needs to focus on diet, and C needs to focus on adjusting mentality. If we treat A, B and C indiscriminately and ask them to strengthen, change their diet or recuperate, we may not be able to meet everyone's health needs.
No medical care measures can be deliberately pursued, nor can they be forced, let alone suffer. In real life, we can see that some people stay behind closed doors, meditate cross-legged and close their eyes all day in order to pursue "quietness", some people linger in Shan Ye all day, dancing and "taking breath to replenish their health", and many people climb mountains or hamstring in the park all day under the slogan of "Life lies", and some people pursue "being happy in old age".
We believe that keeping in good health is not only bad for health and longevity, but also bad for health and longevity.
In a word, health preservation is to properly maintain the body and mind, maintain or improve health, reduce, or at least achieve the purpose of not prolonging life, but to seek long-term health and disease-free in daily life with normal mentality and behavior.
Tips: Therefore, we should treat health preservation with a normal heart, because the way of health preservation is also principled and is carried out according to the development law of things themselves.
