How Taoism breaks the valley
It is divided into two categories: "convinced to avoid the valley" and "taking medicine to avoid the valley". (1) "Being persuaded to break the valley" means cooperating with being persuaded to break the valley, and on the basis of being persuaded, achieving the goal of breaking the valley through being persuaded. Specific statements vary, and some advocate that at the beginning of persuasion, you should drink one or two flax soup or crispy soup when you are hungry, or one or two glasses of wine, and only drink water when you are thirsty. Some people advocate gradually reducing food at the beginning of persuasion, reducing one mouthful a day to ten days. Some people advocate not forcing the valley, waiting for qigong to deepen, and naturally breaking the valley after three years. Specific methods can be found in all kinds of books about qi, according to the chapter "Bao Puzi Miscellaneous Response", that is, the eating method of twelve o'clock qi, the eating method of old star qi, the eating method of six or five essential qi, and the eating method of thinking about qi. (2) "Taking medicine and avoiding food" refers to taking medicine and food. There are many prescriptions, such as taking beans, dates, flax (sesame), chestnuts, crisp, poria cocos, Polygonatum sibiricum, asparagus, ginseng, honey and so on. High nutrition, slow digestion, making into pill paste, and taking orally 1-2 instead of granules after crushing. One formula is high in nutrition and difficult to digest. After a full meal, it will definitely break down and can be used for a long time. Another is to eat rice and then support what you eat with medicine. It is said that it can break the valley for three years. Others use herbs to cook certain stones and eat them.
