The origin of six-character tactics
Six-character formula has a long history and is widely spread. According to textual research, the six-character formula was first seen in Tao Hongjing's "Record of Raising Sex and Prolonging Life" in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Tao Hongjing was a famous Taoist priest at that time and also a famous Chinese medicine practitioner. Tao's "Good Health Preservation" collected and sorted out the expositions of health preservation in previous dynasties before the Southern Dynasties, and compiled the Record of Cultivating Nature and Prolonging Life.
In the part of "Taking Qi to Treat Diseases" in the Record of Nourishing Life and Prolonging Life, it is recorded: "Those who take Qi are called sucking; Breathing out six things, that is, blowing, shouting, sighing, oh, shush, shush, are all vented ... I am dedicated to treating diseases, blowing away summer heat, shouting coquettish, sighing away troubles, sighing away cold and swallowing extremes. " The book also pointed out: "People with heart disease have cold and hot bodies and exhale two kinds of gases;" Patients with lung disease, the chest and diaphragm are full, and the breath comes out; Splenic patients have a breezy upper body, itching and pain all over, and are out of breath; People with liver disease have sore eyes, are unhappy, and breathe out. " These records are the origin of the six-character formula or the six-character gas formula in later generations.
