Health wisdom in Huangdi Neijing: How to keep healthy in a year
Spring is to raise "life", summer is to raise "growth", autumn is to raise "harvest" and winter is to raise "hiding"-raising different gases. Nature must be talented in spring, summer, autumn and winter, which is auspicious. When the hair grows and grows, there must be a stage of convergence and collection, otherwise things will not last long, and so will the body. When doing this step, we should think about the next step. This is China culture. "The Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine. Four Qi Tunes the Great Theory of God Part II" (original excerpt) Spring and March, this is called Chen, heaven and earth are born, and everything is proud. Lie down at night and get up early, stride in court, and be slowed down, so that you will live, live without killing, give without taking, reward without punishment. This spring should be the way to keep fit. Otherwise, it will hurt the liver, and the summer will be cold, and there will be few elders. Xia San month, this is called sweet show, heaven and earth, everything is flashy. Lie at night and get up early, never tired of saying, so that you will have no anger, make Huaying a show, and vent your anger, if you love it outside. This summer gas should be the way to grow up. On the contrary, it is sad, autumn is sarcoidosis, there are few harvesters, and the winter solstice is seriously ill. In autumn and March, this is called tolerance, the weather is urgent, and the atmosphere is bright. Lie down early and get up early, be happy with chickens, make your mind peaceful, slow down the punishment in autumn, converge your attitude, make your autumn spirit calm, and make your lungs clear. This autumn air should be the way to raise and collect. If you go against it, you will hurt your lungs, and in winter, you will have diarrhea, and there are few people who serve Tibet. In winter and March, this is called closed hiding, water and ice are buried, and there is no disturbance to the sun. If you lie down early and get up late, you must wait for the sun, so that if you have a private intention, if you have it, you will be warm when you are cold, and you will not leak your skin, which will make you angry. This winter gas should be the way to raise Tibet. Conversely, it hurts the kidney, and spring is flaccid, and there are few people who are born. The man who is yin and yang at four seasons is the foundation of everything. Therefore, saints nourish yang in spring and summer and yin in autumn and winter to follow their roots, so they rise and fall with everything in the door of growth. If you go against its roots, you will cut its roots, and it will be really bad. Therefore, the four seasons of Yin and Yang are the end of all things and the foundation of life and death. If you go against it, it will cause disaster, and if you go against it, you will not be ill, which is the Tao. Tao, sage, fool admire it. Born from yin and yang, and died from the opposite; Rule from it, and chaos from it. Turning the tide against the tide is called the inner case. Therefore, the sage did not cure the disease, but did not cure the disease; It is also said that there is chaos without treatment and chaos without treatment. Husband's disease has become a medicine, and chaos has become a cure. For example, it is not too late to cross a well and fight for a cone. Why is it called "Four Qi-Regulating God"? "Four Qi Tunes the Spirit" is the second chapter of Huangdi Neijing. First of all, let's talk about the topic. Why is it called "Four Seasons Regulating the Spirit" instead of "Four Seasons Regulating the Spirit"? Because the ancients in China believed that it was the change of solar terms that led to the change of four seasons, and it was the solar terms that mattered. However, the meanings of "festival" and "qi" are slightly different. "festival" is the node and key point of "qi" operation. In fact, the article "Four Qi Regulating the Spirit" talks about two big problems: one is the problem of qi, and the other is the problem of regulating the spirit. In spring, Chen Chun is in March, which means that it is born, the world is born, and everything is proud. Lie down at night and get up early, stride in court, and be slowed down, so that you will live, live without killing, give without taking, reward without punishment. This spring should be the way to keep fit. Otherwise, it will hurt the liver, and the summer will be cold, and there will be few elders. Spring accounts for the first three months of the year, including six solar terms, and each month is divided into two solar terms, which is a stage in which the sun's spirit grows step by step. The "Chen" of hair growth refers to the things accumulated and collected in winter, which is the basis of hair growth. The germinal qi in spring comes from the accumulation and accumulation in winter, which is an endless circular movement. Therefore, only when the qi is fully nourished in winter can the qi generated in spring be normal. In our body, winter corresponds to the kidney, and the vitality comes from the kidney and is transformed by kidney essence. Kidney essence belongs to yin, and the qi generated by gasification belongs to yang. This is the reason why we often say "yin and yang" instead of "yang yin", because yang is based on yin. How to keep fit in spring How to keep fit in spring? The scripture gives three examples: the first is to lie down at night and get up early, which means to stay up late and get up early. Spring focuses on hair growth, and you can't always sleep to hinder the hair growth of your body, so you should sleep less appropriately. Secondly, stride in court, which means striding in the courtyard and being free and easy to adapt to promote hair growth. "Courtyard" refers to a square yard, which means that there must be certain rules, and it can't be unconstrained. The third is to be slowed down. "Being sent" means that there should be no constraints when it comes to hair growth. Do something similar to letting your hair hang freely without tying it up, so as to adapt to the opportunity of hair growth. "Slow shape" means that you should not be constrained physically and wear loose clothes. To achieve these three things: "lying at night and getting up early, striding in court and being slowed down" is to achieve one goal: to make a living. Chi is the god hidden in the kidney. If the god hidden in the kidney can be expressed, there will be no vitality if it is held back. As mentioned earlier, the size of ambition comes from the sufficiency of kidney essence, so taking good care of kidney essence to make it grow and change normally can make your ambition become high, and if you are ambitious, you can achieve great things. After the scripture, it is also mentioned that in summer, it is necessary to "calm the mind", in autumn, and in winter, it is necessary to "hide the mind". They all emphasize "ambition", which lies in kidney essence. Living without killing means that everything is sprouting in spring, and so is the human body. At this time, you can't move any thoughts of killing. For example, if bloom is in spring, don't fold it. If it is, it's all right now. When it comes to autumn, it will bear less fruit-the impact will be later. Therefore, in spring, don't be a bit of a killer. When you walk outside, your heart should be as prosperous as spring. Give without taking, that is, only give, never take away. For example, to make seeds grow well, it is necessary to water and fertilize them regularly, and not to encourage seedlings. Reward without punishment means the same thing. It feels like everyone has just woken up from winter. If you "kill", "take away" or "punish", it will hurt people and the vitality of heaven and earth. This spring gas should be: this is the corresponding and image of spring gas. The way to preserve one's health is to keep alive in spring, to grow in summer, to harvest in autumn and to hide in winter-all of which are different. Spring is the vitality, so spring should be "healthy". If it hurts vitality, it will lead to the consequences of hurting the liver. If the liver wood is injured, it can't regenerate fire, and there will be problems in summer, because summer belongs to fire. What's the problem? It's called summer is cold, and there are few elders. The ancient word "Feng" is the image of two hands holding a sacrifice, which means offering and delivering. Who is missing something for? It is not enough to supply the "long" air in summer, because "long" is based on hair growth. In fact, China culture and Chinese medicine treat the world and life as a living and moving process. We should also make it clear that we can't just keep growing hair and distributing cloth, which is impossible to last. In the book of changes, "dry divination" said: "Seeing a leaderless group of dragons is auspicious." Nature must be talented in spring, summer, autumn and winter, which is auspicious. When the hair grows and grows up to a certain time, there must be a stage of convergence and collection, otherwise the affairs will not last long, and so will the body. When doing this step, we should think about the next step. This is China culture. If you don't have enough essence in winter, you can't grow hair in spring. Take "SARS" as an example. Those young people who got SARS didn't get well in winter, so they would get sick in spring. There are a lot of patients with diarrhea in autumn. Can you simply say that it was because you didn't eat well yesterday that you had diarrhea today? What can people eat and pull? Is there that piece? It's not "yesterday"! In fact, autumn diarrhea is a problem accumulated in summer, or even a problem left over from spring, so we should look further. Western medicine loves to stare at people themselves and find reasons, often pushing the cause to parents. Said that many diseases are inherited from parents. If you want Chinese medicine to see it, it is definitely not like this. The so-called genetic disease is that your lifestyle is too similar to that of your parents, and the physical and mental state is similar, so you will get the same disease as them. What are their emotions? You have been exposed to them since childhood: they always suppress you, and you are used to obedience. When you grow up, you still find a "wife" according to your parents' image and continue to suppress yourself. You are so depressed that you are prone to liver cancer. Your father was suppressed by your mother, and your father got liver cancer. Can you say that you inherited your father's liver cancer gene? You can't say that! It is everyone's own living habits and living environment that cause his own illness. Many diseases are closely related to family. Chinese medicine says that yin and yang should be harmonious, and it would be terrible if they are not harmonious. Therefore, if you want a man to be good, you must first be good with a woman, who is the key factor, and a woman is the housewife of the family (the man is the head of the family, the man belongs to the Yang, and the source of his strength is the Yin and the woman)! Some wives are particularly bad, bullying men badly, and men are particularly capable outside, because he is really unable to display at home, so he goes out to display. This kind of person must be sick. I have met many successful men of this type. They are generally very manic, and their wives must have uterine fibroids. Because his wife will also feel emotionally depressed. If a woman has the disease of hysteromyoma, she must first reflect on her life, which is particularly critical, as well as breast cancer patients. To change your habits first, the next step is to seek medical advice. Without changing habits, qi and blood stasis caused by emotions will still occur frequently. Some cancer patients, knowing that they are cancer, are calm in body and mind, and don't keep any burdens in their hearts. They go sightseeing, thinking that they will die tomorrow anyway, and they will never live like that again. After a long time, I found that the cancer was gone! There are many such examples. When treating cancer, we must remember that we should completely change our way of life, completely abandon our original way of life, live a new life, and only die tomorrow. Only in this way can we be saved. What is cancer? Isn't cancer just the aggregation of qi? Just open this "gas knot". Tibetan medicine and Buddhist medicine put it well, thinking that water is normal in the human body, disease is ice, and western medicine is to cut off the ice; Traditional Chinese medicine and Tibetan medicine want to turn ice into water again and make it normal for human body. The reason of freezing water was solved. Isn't it water when it melts? We talked about one day's health, and here we are talking about the health of the four seasons. A day's health care starts from the liver and gallbladder: bravery is the season when you are young, and liver is the season when you are ugly. A year's health care also starts from the liver and gallbladder, and spring should protect the vitality of liver and gallbladder. There is a classic Chinese saying that "all eleven zang-organs depend on the gallbladder", which means that the body is a zang-fu organ (all zang-fu organs), all of which depend on the vitality generated by bile. Without this vitality, everything is impossible. Take an enterprise as an example, the most important thing is to grasp the vitality and growth point of the enterprise, rather than just looking at how much money can be earned at present. Making money is a follow-up, not an autumn thing (a harvest). We have spent a lot of time on the health care in spring, because spring is the beginning of everything, the beginning of life, this stage is understood, and it will be better understood in summer, autumn and winter. You must sweat in Xia San in summer, which is called "Fanxiu", "Heaven and Earth are in harmony", and everything is flashy. Lie at night and get up early, never tired of saying, so that you will have no anger, make Huaying a show, and vent your anger, if you love it outside. This summer gas should be the way to grow up. On the contrary, it is sad, autumn is sarcoidosis, there are few harvesters, and the winter solstice is seriously ill. Let's talk about how to grow up in summer. Scripture is Xia San month, which is called Fanxiu. "Fanxiu" means that summer is here, and nature is full of weather like the beginning of wheat heading. The meaning of "Fanxiu" is lush, and "Xiu" is the image of heading in Shuo Wen Jie Zi. The intersection of heaven and earth refers to the summer solstice, when a yin is born, and the qi of yin and yang begins to meet. The summer solstice is like noon in a day, when Yin and Yang begin to hand over. Everything is flashy, and "Hua" means flowers and flowers in ancient Chinese; "Reality" is fruit. What does flowering have to do with? Related to yang; What is the result related to? The fruit belongs to yin, and the result is related to yin qi. Flowering is a diffuse function, like yang; The result is a process of condensation, like yin. Yin dominates cohesion, while Yang dominates dispersion. How to grow in summer? Here are three examples, to talk about how to "grow" in summer. Lying at night and getting up early, qi activity in summer also focuses on hair growth and growth, so we should also stay up late and get up early. Not tired of the day, "tired" means that you can't eat any more when you are full at the beginning of word creation. It is understood as satisfaction. If you are too satisfied, you should hate it, so "tired" means not to hate it. "Sun" represents the sun and yang. In summer, you should exercise actively and fully enjoy the sunshine. We modern people can rarely do this. For example, in summer, we all like to stay in air-conditioned rooms for the summer, so that even if we don't get sick in autumn, we will get sick in winter. The opening and discharging of qi in human body all year round actually refers to this period of summer. When people are in air-conditioned rooms, their pores are closed, and when they get outside, they will open again when the weather is hot. So people will feel uncomfortable going in and out of the air-conditioned room. Because the pores are constantly opened and closed, it will disturb the qi movement inside the body, cause diseases and cause deep diseases. This is how the so-called "air conditioning disease" is obtained. Summer is going to be "insatiable on the sun". If it is hot, it will be hot, if it is sweaty, it will be scattered. In principle, it is not necessary to inhibit the growth and growth of yang. Make your ambition angry, which means, don't hold your ambition back and suppress it. To make Huaying a show, "Hua" still means flowers and flowers; "Show" means heading and fruiting. That is to say, let the flowers bloom so that they can bear fruit in the future. Let the gas vent, summer is to let the gas vent out. Just like being an enterprise, we can't say that we only talk about income but not input. This truth is obvious. Summer is equivalent to your investment, that is, you have to keep spending. If what you love is outside, it is an analogy to illustrate what is meant by "venting your anger": it is as if there is something outside that you particularly like, and you have to go out and pursue it. Going out is to let the qi flow out, which is to make your life active and dynamic. Summer is the time to grow up, and we should abide by the growth of nature and human beings. On the contrary, it is sad, which means that if you don't maintain the growing qi, you will hurt your heart. The heart belongs to fire, and if the fire is injured, autumn will be a disease. "Scabies" means coughing, vomiting and diarrhea. As soon as autumn comes, many cough patients will come to me, saying that allergies in autumn have been made again, coughing wildly all day, sneezing endlessly, and rhinitis has also been made. This is actually not well raised in summer. If you stay in an air-conditioned room all the time, your qi can't be vented, and you are all suffocated, so that when the qi of convergence rises in autumn, your qi can't be opened. How can you still be sick? In fact, the treatment of rhinitis is to use the dispersing method, because rhinitis belongs to the lung-gold disease, and the patient's own qi activity does not disperse well in summer, so give him the medicine to stop holding it back, and the effect will be very significant. There are few recipients, that is, there are fewer things presented to the autumn convergence machine. If you don't raise it well in summer, you will have less breath in autumn, and you will be seriously ill on the winter solstice, that is, you will get very sick on the winter solstice. Now, many people have said that I am in the prime of my life. Is it okay to see how I toss myself? That's because it's not time yet! By the "winter solstice", that is, when your own vitality condenses and turns to hair growth (the "winter solstice" in the body environment), you will find that there is not much kidney essence to grow. Because you don't have the spirit of keeping fit in summer, you won't get much naturally in autumn, and you won't have much to collect in winter. On the winter solstice, you can't "cry poor" when making the budget for the coming year! This is the truth of "serious illness on the winter solstice". Autumn is "prosperous with chickens" and autumn is March, which is called tolerance, urgency and brightness. Lie down early and get up early, be happy with chickens, make your mind peaceful, slow down the punishment in autumn, converge your attitude, make your autumn spirit calm, and make your lungs clear. This autumn air should be the way to raise and collect. If you go against it, you will hurt your lungs, and in winter, you will have diarrhea, and there are few people who serve Tibet. Let's look at how the scripture talks about the way of "raising and collecting". Autumn is March, which is called tolerance, "tolerance" means accommodation, and "flat" means peace, which means that autumn is peaceful and tolerant. The weather is urgent, and Chinese medicine believes that autumn corresponds to dryness. The "urgency" here refers to the nature of dryness: restraint and irresponsibility. Dry gas is the gas of convergence, and "dry" from fire is to condense with fiery gas. For example, it is easy to understand: the summer in Beijing is called "sauna days" for a long time. During this period, the clothes, walls and floors at home are damp, but after autumn, it is obvious that everything at home has become dry. This is the function of dryness-it is invisible and intangible, but it can drain water and leave an important shape. The atmosphere is bright, which means that when the atmosphere comes up, it will show dry weather, so we often have an adjective called "crisp autumn" in autumn. Why can it be crisp in autumn? Because dryness belongs to "gold". What is the concept of "gold"? Dryness means drying everything, and after drying, things will be very dense and will be particularly tight. This is called "gold", and gold gas is the gas of convergence. What is metal? Metal is the purest thing that converges, and the gas of convergence is the most sufficient. Like gold, it is particularly Ming Che, and those crystals are very bright, all referring to this concept. How to raise, lie down early and get up early in autumn, the convergence of heaven and earth begins to play a role, and the human body should go to bed early and get up early. Go to bed at 10 at night, 1 1 0 can nourish your liver and gallbladder: otherwise, your liver and gallbladder can't be nourished. Especially for men who are addicted to alcohol, drinking too much is the most harmful to their liver and gallbladder, and then staying up at night is even more harmful. Therefore, there are more and more liver diseases in modern men, all of which are caused by their own habits. Don't blame others! Don't blame your parents' heredity. It has nothing to do with heredity. It's your own lifestyle that determines that you have this disease. The rooster crows and becomes active as soon as the sun comes out in the morning. At this time, people should get up and start a day's life in line with the natural qi. In the genus, it is said that "you chicken". Youshi is the essence of kidney, so the "chicken" here refers to the essence of kidney, and "prosperity with chicken" means that people rise with the growth of kidney essence. If people often wake up from 3: 00 to 5: 00 in the morning, this is a sign that life is at a low level, because it means that your body's convergence qi is gone, and you can't hold back the yang. Before dawn, the yang floats to the body surface and is ready to cope with the patient's dissipation for a day. Calm the mind, hide the mind in the kidney, and conform to the qi of autumn harvest, so that the kidney essence can not move wildly. To be honest, sex life in autumn should be restrained. Animal copulation is the craziest in spring and summer, and it is very rare in autumn and winter. Some animals even hibernate. Animals are the most obedient to the laws of nature. If they are not killed by external injuries, they will definitely "do their best". People, however, are now animals that have abandoned seasonal laws, and can dissipate themselves anytime and anywhere. If they lose their bodies, they will get sick. Still can't escape the laws of nature (commonly known as "destiny"). To slow down the punishment in autumn, converge the air, and make the autumn qi calm, which means to calm the mind and maintain the kidney essence without moving wildly, so as to alleviate the killing and punishment in autumn. "Punishment" is punishment, which is murderous. In autumn, qi tends to converge, that is, it no longer grows, but it is recycled, which is equivalent to killing (killing vitality). The murderous look is very heavy, so you should conform to nature, converge your mind and essence, and make the murderous look as peaceful as possible. There is no ambition, and here it is repeatedly emphasized not to disperse kidney essence. Make the lungs clear, and the lungs correspond to autumn. The function of the lung is to disperse qi and blood in the five internal organs. The function of lung qi is normal when it is clear. This autumn air should be the way to raise and collect. If you go against it, you will hurt your lungs, and in winter, you will have diarrhea, and there are few people who serve Tibet. In order to adapt to the convergence of qi in autumn, we must do a good job of "nurturing". If you disobey the autumn harvest, there will be "fewer collectors", that is, there are not many things to play the role of collection, because they are all lost in the autumn harvest stage. On the viscera, it will hurt the lungs, which is the representative of the human body's convergence function. Winter is a drain, and "feed" is a knowing word, which means dinner. What kind of symptom is diarrhea? Even if the food you have eaten has not been digested, it will be pulled out. In Chinese medicine, it is called "the grain is not melted", indicating that the body's digestion and absorption functions are disordered. Why is it "leaking"? Because there is too little Jing Xue in autumn, there is not much essence stored and accumulated in the kidney, so the lower energizer is insufficient and Shui Gu can't be held firmly. Therefore, Shui Gu is discharged without decomposition. In winter, "there is no disturbance to the sun" and in March, it is called "closed hiding, water and ice licking, no disturbance to the sun". If you lie down early and get up late, you must wait for the sun, so that if you have private intentions, if you have it, you will be warm when you go cold, and you will not vent your skin, which will make you lose your breath. This winter gas should be the way to raise Tibet. Conversely, it hurts the kidney, and spring is flaccid, and there are few people who are born. In winter and March, this is called closed hiding, and in winter, the qi machine is closed inward. The water and ice are frozen, and there is no disturbance to the sun. This is talking about the image of heaven and earth. The water froze and the ground cracked-all the vitality was recovered, and the hidden qi machine developed to the extreme. At this time, absolutely can't disturb the sun be the spirit, and do things that have been stored and recovered. Now there is a sport called winter swimming. In winter, the hair orifices are mostly closed, but rarely opened, and the sun be the spirit is all contained in them. However, people who swim in winter are forced to bring out the sun be the spirit, so that they can keep their vitality at all times. How to raise Tibet in winter, lie down early and get up late, and conform to the nature of collection in winter to ensure adequate sleep. Stay in the sun, saying that you must wait until the sun be the spirit of heaven and earth appears, and the sun be the spirit of the human body appears (for example, wake up naturally) before you start activities and work. We must "integrate heaven and man". We can't say that heaven and earth haven't moved yet, but we will move willfully first. Isn't that self-destructive? If the ambition is hidden, "if" means as if. "Fu" means "get up" by "float". "Hiding" means hiding. The whole sentence is understood as: it's like people's aspirations are vague and unpredictable without being highlighted. "Zhi" is the god hidden in the kidney, and the kidney essence is in a state of collection, so "Zhi" is of course hidden. It's too simple to say this, and the following is particularly vivid: if you have private intentions, if you have them, it means that you are reluctant to go out because you are afraid of being seen; It's like you've got what you want, so you don't have to work hard to get it. When the cold is removed, it will warm up, and there will be no leakage of skin, so that qi will be seized. In winter, the body's yang is hidden in Uneri, so people should keep warm and avoid the cold. Because staying in a cold place, the yang has to be mobilized from the inside to maintain the body temperature. What is the expression of yang going out of the body surface? It is sweating slightly, which is "leaking skin". In winter, people who wear less clothes will have chills, that is, muscles contract violently in a small range to produce heat. If you don't avoid the cold and vent your skin, it's against the hidden qi in winter, and your body's vitality will be lost, and it will be lost quickly. "Desperate to seize" means to vent it at once. This winter gas should be the way to raise Tibet. It means that what I mentioned above is the truth of "keeping Tibet" in winter. Conversely, it hurts the kidney, that is, if it is not raised well, it hurts the kidney in the five internal organs. Spring is flaccidity, that is, in spring, when the qi of hair growth rises, because you have not cultivated kidney essence well, there will be such a disease as muscle flaccidity and waste. Muscle belongs to tendon, while liver is the main tendon, and liver corresponds to spring. Because winter is not hidden, spring can't grow vitality, so the function of tendon is not normal. "flaccidity" means weakness of the whole body, hands and feet, and lack of strength. What is "Jue"? Many girls don't keep in good health in winter, and syncope will appear in spring, not syncope, but "syncope" with cold hands and feet. This is because the foundation is insufficient, the vitality is not much, so we can only ensure the supply of the five internal organs first, and the limbs are not strong enough, and the hands and feet are cold. It is very difficult to meet such a girl to see a doctor, because if she doesn't change her lifestyle, she won't get well. Life style has changed, and your body will naturally get better, so you can stop taking medicine! My principle is to protect the environment and use less medicine. You may not know that planting one acre of licorice will cause desertification in several acres of land. All foreign liquiritigenin should be imported from our country, and your resources will be used to make you desert, so I won't plant it myself. So if you don't use medicine, you don't need it. Just learn to keep in good health. This is the principle of "health preservation", "growth", "harvest" and "storage" in spring, summer, autumn and winter-four seasons health preservation. The following paragraphs further elaborate on the same principle, and I will only briefly talk about it. The man who is yin and yang at four seasons is the foundation of everything. Therefore, saints nourish yang in spring and summer and yin in autumn and winter to follow their roots, so they rise and fall with everything in the door of growth. If you go against its roots, you will cut its roots, and it will be really bad. The man who is yin and yang at four seasons is the foundation of everything. This is about the four seasons, the change of Yin and Yang is the foundation of all things, and people are certainly no exception. Therefore, saints nourish yang in spring and summer and yin in autumn and winter, so as to get their roots. How to maintain the body? The most obvious thing to say here is that spring and summer should be the opportunity to nourish your vitality, and autumn and winter should be the opportunity to nourish your vitality. In the Book of Changes, raising yang in spring and summer is equivalent to doing divination #, that is, "striving for self-improvement", that is, doing what you should do; Nourishing yin in autumn and winter is equivalent to Kun Gua #, that is, "carrying things with kindness". The thicker the better, the more convergent the better. Therefore, with all things ups and downs in the door of growth, against its roots, it will cut its roots and destroy its truth. That is to say, if you live according to the laws of the four seasons and yin and yang, you can live with all things in nature, otherwise you are cutting the truth of your life. Therefore, the four seasons of Yin and Yang are the end of all things and the foundation of life and death. If you go against it, it will cause disaster, and if you go against it, you will not be ill, which is the Tao. Huangdi Neijing has repeatedly emphasized that the four seasons of Yin and Yang are the end of all things and the foundation of life and death. This talks about the problem of "the beginning", and the beginning is life and death. The key to life or death is to understand the "order of heaven" (spring, summer, autumn and winter). On the contrary, it is a disaster, and from it, it can't afford to be ill. That is to say, if you violate the laws of life and act recklessly, you will eventually be riddled with diseases and incurable diseases. Obeying the laws of nature must mean that you will never get a serious illness or a minor illness. In this way, it is "the Tao". Tao, sage, fool admire it. Born from yin and yang, and died from the opposite; Rule from it, and chaos from it. Turning the tide against the tide is called the inner case. The Taoist, the sage does it-this sentence is very famous. "Doing it" means that you must follow the law. If you do it according to the law, it is called "getting the word". Fools admire it, "Pei" is a generic word, and "contradiction" means violation. If you violate the law of Yin and Yang in the four seasons, then this person is a stupid person, and will only constantly dissipate himself, leading to "half a hundred and decline". Treating the disease before it is cured means that the sage does not treat the disease before it is cured; It is also said that there is chaos without treatment and chaos without treatment. Husband's disease has become a medicine, and chaos has become a cure. For example, it is not too late to cross a well and fight for a cone. Therefore, it is a saying that doctors of traditional Chinese medicine often hang on their lips that saints fail to cure their diseases and treat them before they get sick. Some people say that this is the connotation of preventive medicine in traditional Chinese medicine, which means that you can recuperate before you get sick. The deeper meaning is to cure the sick viscera and start treatment from the place where it is not sick. For example, for example, liver disease. The liver belongs to wood in the five elements, and wood can overcome soil, so if liver cancer metastasizes, it is usually transferred to gastric cancer, because the spleen and stomach belong to soil. For another example, when people get angry, they can't eat, right? Anger belongs to the liver, so anger should be harmful to the liver, but in real life, it often reflects not liver pain, but stomach pain, or the pain in the left rib is terrible. This is that the liver has evil spirits and directly spreads it to the stomach. Many men with stomach problems, to be honest, are either angry with their superiors or leaders or angry with their wives. So I said, lesbians, your husband has stomach trouble, so you should reflect on yourself and see if you are angry with him. It's understandable that he is depressed when he works outside, but if he really has stomach trouble, he should be very careful, because stomach trouble is largely caused by mu Ketu and anger. Therefore, "if you have liver disease, you must know that evil will spread to the spleen and stomach. At this time, don't treat the liver, you must first stick to the place where evil will invade next, that is, start treatment from the spleen and stomach. Stick to the spleen and stomach, the body's digestion and absorption function is strong, and the vitality is sufficient, which in turn can straighten out the liver qi, so that liver disease will naturally be fine. I warn you here that you must be careful in your life and don't get angry. In modern society, many diseases are caused by anger, and illness can lead to the restlessness of qi in the body and the loss of rhythm in growth and collection. If you don't treat the disease, it will be chaotic, and if you don't treat it, it's the same as "if you don't treat the disease, you can't treat it." For example, if there is something wrong with a certain department in running an enterprise, it should be improved from the rules and regulations, rather than just investigating the responsible person. These words in the classics can be used anywhere in life. Husband's disease has become a medicine, and chaos has become a cure. For example, it is not too late to cross a well and fight for a cone. It is common in reality to seek medical advice only after the disease has formed, and to pay attention to treatment only after the trouble has caused it. How does Huangdi Neijing criticize it? It is like picking up a pick to dig a well when you are thirsty; Enemy at the Gates, began to casting guns-this is not a joke? We should anticipate and take corresponding measures before things give signs, so as not to let things get out of control. Just like, if you don't get angry, there will be no so-called liver depression! This is all about how to keep fit (life). To be a gentleman, when others don't value you, you don't complain or get angry, and you continue to accumulate strength. Why did the ancients pay so much attention to moral cultivation? Why do you want to study "University" and "The Mean"? In fact, "Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" are the best ways to cure diseases! Don't think that the cure with miraculous effect is the best prescription, and don't have this misunderstanding. The road is invisible, and moral cultivation is the best way to prevent people from getting sick. Drugs can only play a temporary role in disaster relief. It's too late to ask for medicine when you are already ill, just like "digging a well with thirst" I wonder if something is broken, no matter how fine it is, can it be returned to its original state? The reason for everything is the same. (This article is an excerpt from the book Huangdi Neijing Health Wisdom written by Qu Limin, the first Chinese interpreter of Huangdi Neijing.
