Huangdi Neijing requires people to adjust to the four seasons, and bad living habits can be found in people around us at any time. For example, I often stay up late and overeat. Huangdi Neijing emphasizes that "the law is based on yin and yang, and the technique is based on number", which is reflected in our daily life and requires us to eat properly, live regularly, not act rashly and be safe physically and mentally. Only by doing this and turning it into a lifestyle and habit can we live a long and healthy life.
Huangdi Neijing is the treasure of China's traditional scholarship, the earliest and highest-ranking masterpiece of China medicine, and the source of TCM health preservation. Through the study of this ancient classic, we can gain insight into the law of life and fundamentally grasp the way of keeping in good health. There are many discussions about health preservation in Huangdi Neijing.
Physical and mental health rules
Huangdi Neijing is more like a book of health preservation, more like a book of philosophy, a book of health preservation philosophy that can better understand nature, know oneself, pay attention to oneself, conform to the laws of nature, achieve the unity of heaven and man, and thus enable people to survive. It also made me realize the wisdom of "going to poverty and justice, going to extreme geography, taking things far away, getting close, and asking questions is more difficult". Huangdi Neijing has been circulated for thousands of years and is an unprecedented classic. Its medical value and philosophical value have been continuously excavated by later generations. I also get a lot of inspiration from this book, hoping to understand this book better and better and bring greater help to my life and work. It has become the theoretical basis and source of medical development in China.
I think Huangdi Neijing can be summarized by three firsts.
First, Huangdi Neijing is the first classic of TCM theory. After the emergence of human beings, with diseases, it is inevitable to seek various ways to treat diseases, so the formation of medical technology is indeed much earlier than Huangdi Neijing. However, the formation of Chinese medicine as an academic system began with Huangdi Neijing, so Huangdi Neijing is recognized as the cornerstone of Chinese medicine. This book systematically tells the principles and methods of human physiology, pathology, disease and treatment for the first time, and has made great contributions to human health. After the formation of Chinese medicine, it has protected our Chinese nation, made our Chinese nation endless, and enabled our Chinese sons and daughters to overcome diseases and disasters, which has continued to this day. The Chinese nation without Chinese medicine and Huangdi Neijing is unimaginable.
Second, Huangdi Neijing is the first book of health preservation. Huangdi Neijing talks about how to cure diseases, but more importantly, it talks about how not to get sick and how not to take medicine, so that we can live a long and healthy life and live to be 100 years old. This is a very important idea in Huangdi Neijing-"preventing diseases".
Huangdi Neijing said: "If you don't treat a disease, you can't treat it. If you don't treat it, you will be treated indiscriminately. " In other words, a first-class doctor does not treat the disease he has already got, but keeps it from getting sick before he gets sick. You see, you can't be sick at all. How thorough! This idea is of great significance in today's society.
Thirdly, Huangdi Neijing is the first encyclopedia about life. Huangdi Neijing focuses on life and talks about medicine, astronomy, geography, psychology, sociology, philosophy and history. This is an encyclopedia about life problems. The core of our traditional Chinese studies is actually the philosophy of life, and Huangdi Neijing is the most influential classic of traditional Chinese studies named after Huangdi. There are three wonderful books named after "Jing" in ancient China. The first book is the Book of Changes, the second is the Tao Te Ching, and the third is the Huangdi Neijing. Now, these three wonderful books have not only attracted the attention of Chinese children and descendants of the Yellow Emperor, but also aroused great concern of people all over the world, because their value has become more and more prominent in today's society.
There are many classic and important viewpoints in Huangdi Neijing, such as Zangxiang theory, essence, spirit, meridians and so on. Although my knowledge level has not reached the level of studying Huangdi Neijing, reading this book is of great help to me in how to adjust my mood and establish good living habits in my life and work.
The internal organs of the human body are a complete whole, and they are also the unity of people and the external environment. The activities of zang-fu organs are not isolated, which can be understood from the following points:
1. Emphasize the unity within the human body.
2. Unity of body and environment. Huangdi Neijing clearly puts forward that "man is born with the qi of heaven and earth, which is the method of four seasons" and that "heaven eats people with five qi and the earth eats people with five flavors". This shows the unity of man and nature. Under the guidance of the overall concept. Ancient medical scientists concluded that the physiological functions of zang-fu organs were related to the changes of external environment. "Qi at four o'clock hurts the five internal organs more", "Su Wen is angry with God". Another example is "Wind hurts tendons, dryness is better than wind, heat hurts qi, and cold generates heat ..." And the sentence "The wind is in the sky, the wood is on the ground, the tendons are in the body, and the liver is dirty ..." These all emphasize the overall concept. This overall concept is completely different from some local viewpoints of modern medicine.
After reading Huangdi Neijing, I have a deeper understanding of China people's adaptation to the life of the four seasons for thousands of years. Bad living habits, such as staying up late and overeating, were found before, but Huangdi Neijing said: "People are related to heaven and earth, corresponding to the sun and the moon." "Four seasons of yin and yang, offenders are born." Under normal circumstances, the movement of the unity of opposites of Yin and Yang is moderate, orderly and timely, which makes Yin and Yang harmonious, and vice versa, and the essence of human diseases is the imbalance of Yin and Yang. Huangdi Neijing not only provides us with dialectical thoughts in health, but also gives us useful guidance in spirit. For example, in the real society, heavy work pressure and complicated social relations will affect our mood. This book tells us that emotional activities such as emotion, sadness and fear are also manifestations of the functions of the five internal organs, that is to say, diseases of the five internal organs will also bring emotional diseases to people, and conversely, emotional disorders will also affect the five internal organs. Great joy and great sorrow, great sorrow is the lung, great anger is the liver, great fear is the kidney, and great worry is the spleen. Therefore, in real life, we should maintain a normal mind: not to rejoice in things, not to grieve for ourselves. Maintaining a harmonious lifestyle and interpersonal relationship is good for our health and work.
Although I only read such a simple book, everyone knows that its connotation is not only secondary, so enjoy it later. But when I read this book, I found that my ancient prose was terrible, so this book can also exercise my reading level.
Diet, daily life, rest, and spirit are four aspects that everyone will be involved in daily life.
So in the final analysis, health care is about these four aspects. As long as these four aspects can be achieved, everyone can live to be over 100, as Qi Baishi said in Dialogue with the Yellow Emperor. Therefore, it is not unusual to live to 100 years old. You don't need external help, just do these four things well. And these four aspects run through our daily life. To achieve these four points, you can't do it in a day or two, but you can turn it into a lifestyle and a habit all your life.
The following are my favorite health quotations from Huangdi Neijing:
1. "Eat moderately, live regularly, don't work hard"; It is a bad trip to indulge in lust, dissipate essence and have sex with alcohol.
2. "It hurts to spit too far."
3. "Put all your eggs in one basket and throw nothingness, and the true qi will come out of it, and the spirit will be defensive, and you will be sick and safe." No wild desires, peace and tranquility, the true qi is kept in the body, inseparable, and illness does not hurt the body.
4. "Benevolent people live long: broad-minded people live long; On the contrary. Narrow-minded people are bad for health and harmful to life "; Virtue is not gram, longitudinal service jade liquid elixir, failed to prolong life; Moral day, blessing without seeking goodness, long without seeking longevity, is also the main purpose of health preservation. Pay attention to moral cultivation: "honesty" is good for physical and mental health. ...
5. "How can you be quiet if you can't forgive yourself?" "I'm still judging whether it's worth it. It can be seen that my heart is still measured, and there is still a' gas root'. " Huangdi Neijing tells us to seek from within, that is to say, to seek from within. This is to remind us that everyone should pay attention to themselves, life is in their own hands, and life lies in their own internal needs. It is impossible to live a long and healthy life simply by seeking outside help. Pay attention to health, pay attention to the inside.
