Traditional Chinese Medicine is the wisdom of China people in curing diseases and preserving health. It has a cultural heritage of 5000 years, which is still circulating today, which shows that Chinese medicine has its merits. We have seen or heard or experienced it ourselves. Some stubborn diseases can't be cured in the west, but Chinese medicine can cure them, which also shows that Chinese medicine has its merits.
When we go out to eat, we don't like additives, because some additives are synthetic chemicals. They are not natural and have side effects, so we are disgusted. Traditional Chinese medicine will talk about how to use natural materials, absorb natural nutrients and regulate the body. This kind of conditioning is easy for the body to accept and healthy. This is what I think is the strength of Chinese medicine. I am not creating a medicine, but using nature, or integrating my body with nature and taking the essence of heaven and earth to maintain my health!
This book is like a reference book, telling us the characteristics of various foods and what symptoms we should eat with food. If you are interested, you can have a look if you don't have time. You can use Baidu to search how to recuperate according to your symptoms and needs, and you should be able to find it.
So I won't talk about the contents of the book, just talk about some of my own associations and the connection between Chinese medicine and martial arts.
Both Chinese medicine and martial arts pay attention to quietness. Traditional Chinese medicine regulates the body with the help of natural nutrients. This is a process of relaxation, acceptance and integration. The quieter the body and mind, the better the effect. Practicing martial arts and internal skills also pays attention to quietness, because it takes luck and quietness to ensure the stability of qi, and then you can better stretch your body and control your movements.
The process of practicing Chinese medicine and Wushu is the same, both of which are the process of accumulation and "forgetting". The so-called accumulation means learning and training bit by bit, and the so-called forgetting means gradually ignoring what you have learned.
Zhang Wuji studied under Zhang Sanfeng in the movie "Eternal Dragon Slayer". At the last moment of practicing Tai Ji Chuan, Zhang Sanfeng made Zhang Wuji forget the moves he had learned. When Zhang Wuji forgot 100%, his Tai Chi was conveyed to a superb state!
When you started practicing martial arts, you learned to lay the foundation. You can feel your body, the movement of Qi and the sending and receiving of strength through these actions. The more you learn, the deeper you feel. When you learn to a certain extent, you will begin to understand your body and adjust your luck and strength. At this time, you don't need to use the moves you have learned, even the moves are restricted, so you should ignore the moves you have learned. See the confession.
When you begin to learn Chinese medicine, remember how each symptom is characterized, how each component is pharmacological, and how to match it to deal with a certain disease. When you learn a certain degree, you can begin to master it. You can tell what's wrong with your body by your face, posture, movements and breathing, and you can also infer your nature by the color of ingredients and the environment where you grow up. At this time, the drug spectrum is not used, and the right medicine can be given according to the specific symptoms, and even the duration can be prevented. I don't need any prescription at all, because eating and walking every day is the knowledge of Chinese medicine. I know the changes of my body like the back of my hand, so I forgot the "medicine"!
Learning Chinese medicine is also learning traditional culture, and it also reveals the ideological light of studying abroad. I hope everyone is safe and healthy!
