Text/Zhang Liping Health is an ideal state, but also an idea. Man is a part of nature, but I don't know when he started to get farther and farther away from nature. Probably, the relationship between man and nature has changed to some extent: man and everything originally belonged to nature, but now it has reversed, because man gradually gained the initiative in the struggle with nature, and nature has become the nature that man wants to transform or even dominate. The power of human beings to transform nature has increased, and their compliance with nature has decreased. This is the same in the medical field. From the ancient medical model of gods to the ancient medical model of natural philosophy, medicine at that time was closely related to nature, whether it was awe of mysterious natural forces or obedience to natural laws. However, the modern biomedical model and the contemporary "biological-psychological-social" medical model have gone further and further along the path of reductionism, and there is no shadow of "nature". In a sense, people's natural attributes can be reduced to biological and animal attributes, and then to physical and chemical attributes. Using the path and methodology of physical and chemical research, we can't conclude that this is the only path and the only scheme. Besides, people have not only biological attributes (but also social and humanistic attributes). Zhang Daqing said: "After all, human life and disease are not an onion, which can only be peeled with a knife. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which has stepped out of the medical model of ancient natural philosophy, has gone deep into the path of human natural attributes, which is just beyond the reach of modern medicine, at least for now. Looking at "self" with holistic thinking and broad vision, modern science studies the essence and functional characteristics of human life by means of reduction and decomposition, and has developed from tissues, organs, cells and molecules to the level of genes, and has made great achievements in the fields of life science and medicine. However, it is not the only way to know people. When we turn our eyes from the inside of the human body to the outside, we will find that people can not be broken, and people can not only be human bodies, but also not just creatures, but a natural person who is naturally connected with heaven and earth. Man is born by nature and is the product of nature. People come from nature, live in the stream of natural time, and understand people from nature should also be an indispensable path. How to help the human body's "qi of life" with the help of natural qi is a major method of health preservation, disease prevention and treatment, but modern people who are full of all kinds of "scientific research ideas" don't think so. Let's talk about health preservation first. Our ancestors always advocated physical and mental cultivation, especially paying attention to the recuperation of essence, qi and spirit. One of the very important paths is "keeping pace with the times", which includes the adjustment of mind, daily life, behavior, diet and so on. However, modern people do not pay attention to these. For example, in diet, all kinds of vegetables, fruits and vegetables are available in all seasons, and the seasons are gradually blurred. People no longer pay attention to the seasons, but talk about nutrients-breaking a complete food and separating nutrients such as sugar, lipid, protein, vitamins, inorganic salts, water and cellulose to talk to our bodies. Tian Song's "We just don't need protein" said: "After what we eat has changed from food to nutrients, our traditional culture has lost the right to speak on the basic question of' what should we eat'. "Food is a gift from nature and an intermediary between man and nature. What our bodies need and don't need, nature has hints. Another example is the problem of sleep time. According to the scientific theory, it is about 6-8 hours, which is based on the ability to relieve fatigue and conduct a good day's work and study. Traditional Chinese medicine has no fixed time standard, which tells people to follow the ebb and flow of yang in the four seasons, that is, lie down and get up early in spring and summer, lie down and get up early in autumn, and lie down and get up early in winter, which is a basic routine. More like exercise, modern sports physiology research believes that the metabolic rate of human body and the activity of hormones in the body are in the best state from afternoon to evening, when the flexibility and flexibility of the body, the adaptability of the body and the sensitivity of nerves are the best, and the evening is a good time for exercise; Traditional Chinese medicine looks at this problem from the perspective of "harmony between man and nature", and thinks that it is the time to exercise when people are popular in the morning, and when the yang in the west is already weak, people should restrain themselves to resist evil spirits, not to mention disturbing the bones and muscles to consume yang. With the pace of the times, people's lifestyles and eating habits, whether active or passive, have indeed changed a lot, and it is impossible to simply talk about right and wrong, which is superior and which is inferior. To cite these examples, I just want to recall the instinct of being close to nature that people have gradually lost. Let's talk about diseases. There are many kinds of diseases. According to the International Classification of Diseases ICD- 10 issued by the World Health Organization in 1978, there are tens of thousands of names of diseases, and new diseases are still being discovered or occurred. Although the diseases of human body are varied and varied in thousands ways, in the view of Chinese medicine, there are no syndromes such as eight classes, viscera, defending qi and nourishing blood, triple energizer, six meridians, meridians and five movements and six qi. On the other hand, from the perspective of the relationship between onset and weather, diseases can be divided into two categories: one is related to weather, and the other is unrelated to weather. The former is a kind of disease suitable for "adapting to the time". Clinically, when doctors encounter such diseases, if they can be sensitive to the relationship between "time" and "disease", they can often be more accurate in syndrome differentiation and have twice the result with half the effort in curative effect. As a doctor, although it is not necessary to say "I don't know the increase of years, the rise and fall of qi, and the role of excess and deficiency", it is not difficult to find that all doctors who can be called great doctors are good at grasping the opportunity of human recovery. In the same way, anyone who is good at keeping in good health also knows how to "walk with the times" When Mr. Lu Guangshen, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, was alive, he especially loved to talk about "the way of living", and once brilliantly summed up "the way of living in traditional Chinese medicine": following the way of living, helping the qi of living, and using the tools of living to make a living. "Follow the way of life" is the concept of TCM health, and it is the concept of TCM health preservation, disease prevention and treatment.
