The specific arrangement of the recipe is as follows: in the first three days of the valley, you can not eat other foods except drinking water, and generally the daily drinking amount is above 800 ml. This practice can help detoxify the intestines.
After three days, you can eat some fruits, vegetables, porridge, vegetable soup and other foods regularly.
Don't eat anything for 3 days before crossing the valley, only drink at least 800ml of raw water every day, and drink slowly in small cups. After 3 days, if you can continue, you can eat some fruits and vegetables (mainly apples, tomatoes and cucumbers), but not more than100g each time.
In the formal stage, you can eat a certain amount of porridge, vegetable soup, peanuts, vegetables, fruits and other foods. Mainly used for people who are not suitable for completely avoiding grain, such as obese people. Incomplete crossing the valley can be used as a means to improve physical fitness.
First of all, the origin of the valley
There is a legend of "people who eat gas" in Shan Hai Jing, and later there is a saying that "people who eat gas live as immortals". A similar concept was transformed by Zhuangzi into the work of a divine man, and "A Happy Tour in Zhuangzi" contained: "The mountain that takes advantage of the situation has immortals living there."
If the skin is like ice and snow, if you are a virgin, you don't eat grains, suck in wind and drink dew, ride a dragon on a cloud, and travel around the world ... ",the god who shoots God doesn't need grains, but only eats wind and dew.
Begging for grain originated in the pre-Qin period, and it was about the same time as qi-moving. In a etiquette treatise before Qin and Han Dynasties, The Core Monument of Yi Life said: "Carnivores are brave, food eaters are wise, gas eaters live with God, and non-food eaters live with God", which is the earliest theoretical basis for gas eating. There is a similar record in Huainanzi Terrain Training.
After the establishment of Taoism, many people inherited this technology and practiced the valley. From Han Dynasty to Song Dynasty, the art of divination valley was very popular in Taoism. There is a cloud in the Western Han Dynasty's "Going to the Valley to Eat Qi": "Those who go to the Valley will eat Shiwei. If you are heavy-headed, light-footed, and clumsy, you will be smashed (fried), depending on the benefit. "
It means that when you first arrive in the valley, you often have top-heavy hunger, which must be overcome by "blowing". Here, the combination of Bi Gu and Hodge, like the deliberate combination of Hodge and Dao in Zhuangzi, seems to indicate the initial existence of these three technologies in the pre-Qin period, that is, they generally appeared at the same time.
Second, the relevant records in ancient books.
"After History" recorded that he was sick, and he used the technique of avoiding the valley to treat the disease and practiced the body of Homo sapiens.
According to the legend of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wang Zhen, the alchemist of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was "broken for more than 200 years, with beautiful meat and strong body like a horse."
"The Biography of Fang Shu in the Later Han Dynasty" records: "(Hao) Meng can save energy for five or ten years, including jujube stones without eating."
There is a story about how to avoid the valley in Cao Zhi's Taoist Debate, saying that he tried to "bow his head and sleep" and "walk and be at peace for a hundred days". Among the alchemists attracted by Cao Cao, Zuo Ci, Feng Junda and Lu all have divination. Ge Hong, a Taoist priest in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, opposed the idea that one-way crossing the valley could lead to longevity, but he did not doubt the fitness and longevity function of crossing the valley.
He said in "Miscellaneous Answers to Bao Puzi's Internal Chapter": "The remainder is more than three years and two years, all of which are light in body and good in color", and cited specific examples to prove it.
In the Book of Northern Qi, it is recorded that a yogi lived in seclusion in Langya Mountain. In order to live forever, he practiced Gushu and took pine nuts, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria and other crude drugs.
According to the recluse biography of Southern History, Deng Yu, a Taoist priest in Nanyue, lived in seclusion for more than 30 years, only taking water with mica tablets and reciting the Cave Sutra day and night, while Tao Hongjing lived in seclusion for 40 years and was very capable in his eighties.
"Biography of the Northern History of the Cottage" said that Taoist Chen and Xu Ze "refused to raise cotton wool, although it was cold in winter."
According to the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty, Pan Shi, a Taoist priest in the Tang Dynasty, lived in Songshan Mountain for more than 20 years, "drinking only the water of pine leaves", and his disciple Sima Chengzhen also inherited his skill of attracting bait.
The Book of Old Tang Dynasty records that a man named Wang practiced the art of breathing and guiding the way, and took Ganoderma lucidum and Atractylodes macrocephala. , and lived to 100 years old, with dark hair and light steps.
According to the history of Song Dynasty, Chen Tuan, a Taoist priest in the early Song Dynasty, lived in Jiushiyan, Wudang Mountain. He "lived for more than 20 years, but he drank several cups every day". According to the biography of Ji Fang in Song Dynasty, Zhao Ziran "doesn't eat, but he has a fresh air. Every time I smell fire and eat gas, I vomit, but I only produce fruit and spring water. " Chai Xuantong "is over 100 years old, wearing Gu Xiao and drinking only."
