The way of health care, since ancient times for our people health care and prevention of disease attached importance. With the progress of our society and the development of science and culture, the content of the regimen has gradually formed a rich and colorful Chinese health science.

China's ancient way of health, the content of the vast wealth, thesis exquisite, through the movement of the shape of health, food and health, cultivate the body and sex, still the spirit of health, adjusting the gas health and other aspects of the cultivation techniques, in order to achieve the adjustment of the body, adjust the heart, the adjustment of the interest rate, the adjustment of the food, the adjustment of the sleep of the purpose of the "adjustment of health".

China's ancient Chinese medicine, the basic principle of health, is that people should comply with the laws of nature, such as spring, there should be a kind of vitality of the gas, the winter can not be too open, too scattered, everything is in the secret. Traditional Chinese medicine also advocates that health care should vary according to the time, place, and person, etc.

China's original art of health, is under the guidance of the basic principles of health, through successive generations gradually established, and continue to develop and improve, and ultimately formed a dynamic form of health, food and health, cultivate the body and sex, the stillness of the spirit of health, adjusting the gas and health and other multifaceted cultivation techniques.

The so-called dynamic form of health, Chinese medicine believes that "people want to labor in the form of a hundred diseases can not be". Therefore, the ancients in the medical and life practice in the search for the formation of such as qigong, taijiquan, eight brocade five bird play, and other forms of movement, in order to strengthen the body and prolong life.

Qigong is anciently known as guiding, traveling, practicing, nourishing, and tui na.

In the Yin and Zhou periods, our people began to practice qigong. It is based on the theory of "meridians and collaterals" and "qigong theory", and mainly through controlling the activities of the mind, adjusting the breath and supplementing the activities of certain movements, it achieves the purpose of prolonging the life of fitness and preventing and eliminating diseases.

This proves that qigong has been invented in our country for more than 3,000 years, and it is the first country in the world to invent qigong.

The ancient medical book "Huang Di Nei Jing" is extremely rich in the idea of health care, the basic principle is "to follow the nature, to preserve the righteousness." The main ideas are:

"Law in yin and yang", that is, in accordance with the time of the day, in accordance with the climate of the four seasons in order to nourish and protect the vitality of life, advocating the "spring and summer to nourish the yang, autumn and winter to nourish the yin";

"and in the arts and mathematics "

"Food and drink in moderation", including diet and the five flavors should not be partiality;

"Living and rising in a regular manner, do not make labor", refers to the four seasons of

"The system of work and rest and the moderation of labor and leisure, in order to prevent "excessive use of the disease born";

"calmness and emptiness", pay attention to the spiritual regimen. At the same time, it has been recognized that immortality is impossible, the limit of life that is, the year of life is "to be a hundred years old is to go".

"Zhuangzi" said, "spit out the old, the new, the bear by the bird Shen, for the life is just carry on; this Road to lead the Shi, the person who raised the shape".

"Spit out the old and put in the new" refers to do qigong, "bear through the bird Shen" said that people like bears climb, like a bird like left and right. These two methods are guided,

Guided is the "Zhuangzi" said the "Road to", is China's unique fitness medical health care methods, in the Spring and Autumn period has been more popular. According to archaeological discoveries, Changsha City, Hunan Province, Mawangdui, unearthed in the tomb of the Han Dynasty, a volume of 44 images of the "guide map" is the earliest found in China's guide image data, but also the world's earliest surviving medical gymnastics illustrations.

The men, women and children in the Guiding Figure, some bareback, some clothed, some with bare hands and flexed fingers, some holding staffs and objects, some imitating the posture of bears, monkeys, jackals and wolves, and some imitating the movements of dragons, cranes, pengs and eagles.

The breathing movement depicted in the Guiding Figure has the word "yinhun" in the textual description, which is a direct reference to breathing. In ancient times, the word "yinhun" meant to raise one's body and cry out. The shape of the figure is with the chest expanded and the hands raised backward, and the movement is to strengthen the exercise of cardiopulmonary function.

All the movements in the "Guiding Figure" are vertical, except for a few squatting and kneeling movements. Now China's fifth set of radio exercises in the eight movements basically summarizes the essence of the "guide map" part. For example, the upper limb movement has "Long Deng", chest expansion movement has "Yin Cui", body side movement has "Praying Mantis", abdominal and dorsal movement has "Manzheng "jumping", "neck" and so on.

The "Guide Map" in addition to unarmed exercises, but also found the use of stick movement, as a bent body to turn the body movement, holding a staff in both hands. The text description is "to the text through the yin and yang". The word "wen" here refers to the stick. There is also a folding and turning movement with a ball under the feet, which is also a form of instrumental movement.

"Guiding Figure" in the text description of the direct reference to the treatment of disease items **** have "annoyance", "pain Ming", "lead to deafness", "lead to the Warm disease" and so on 12 places, indicating that the guide not only on the limbs of the knee pain, digestive system of the abdomen, the five senses of the ear, and even with the treatment of certain infectious diseases have a close relationship.

Taijiquan is also the main content of the moving form of health. Taijiquan comprehensively absorbed the famous boxing methods of the Ming Dynasty, especially Qi Jiguang's 32-style long fist, and at the same time combined with the ancient art of guiding and vomiting, and focused on the traditional yin and yang theory and the meridian theory of Chinese medicine, so that Taijiquan has become a unique health-care exercise program in China.

Baduanjin is an excellent traditional health care technique in China, which was formed in the 12th century, and has been passed down through the generations to form many schools of practice and styles with their own characteristics, with simple and easy movements and remarkable effects.

The ancients compared this set of movements to the "brocade", meaning that the movement is stretching beautifully, such as brocade, beautiful and smooth; and because of the work **** for 8 sections, each section of an action, so the name "eight brocade". The whole set of movements soft and continuous, smooth and fluent; loose and tight, static and static; smooth qi, bone and tendon soft.

The eight-duanjin song says: "both hands to the sky, the three jiao, left and right bow like shooting eagles, regulating the spleen and stomach single hand, five labor seven injuries to look back, shaking the head and tail to the heart of the fire, behind the back of the seven upside down the elimination of all diseases, save the fist and angry eyes to increase the energy, two hands climb the foot solid kidneys and waist". This work can be seen in the health care role, and it is clear that there is no special requirements for the venue.

Wu Bird Opera is a method of physical exercise in ancient China, the founder of the late Eastern Han Dynasty famous doctor Hua Tuo. Hua Tuo summarized the traditional practice of his predecessors of imitating the movements of birds and animals in order to exercise, and created a set of health care gymnastics, including the movements and postures of tigers, deer, bears, apes, and birds, also known as the Five-Animal Play. It predates the medical gymnastics invented in Sweden by more than 1,000 years.

On one occasion, Hua Tuo saw a child swinging back and forth to play with a door latch, and was reminded of the principle that "a door hinge is not worm-eaten, and flowing water does not rot", and thought that most human diseases are caused by poor qi and blood circulation and stagnation of stagnant stagnation of stagnant stagnation of stagnant stagnant stagnant stagnant stagnant stagnant stagnant stagnant cold. "

These are the most important things that you can do to improve your health, and to improve the quality of your life.

So, Hua Tuo had the time to concentrate on the study of the exercise method, referring to the ancient people's exercise of the body of the "guiding art", and continue to improve, according to the movements of various animals, to create a set of imitation of the tiger, deer, apes, bears, and birds of the five kinds of animal boxing.

The Five Animal Sports imitates the movements of a tiger pouncing and whistling, a deer running happily, apes and monkeys jumping left and right, bears walking slowly, and birds flying with their wings spreading and so on.

Through this series of operations, can clear the head and eyes, enhance cardiopulmonary function, strong waist and kidneys, slippery joints, and promote the enhancement of physical fitness, simple and easy to learn, so no matter men and women, old and young people can choose to practice, to be gradually strengthened after a full set of action.

Wu Bird Opera not only has the function of strengthening the body and prolonging life, but also has the effect of eliminating diseases. As Hua Tuo said: "The body is not happy, up for the bird of the theater, Yi and sweat ...... body light and want to eat."

The so-called dietary health, Chinese medicine believes that a reasonable diet can nourish the essence, correct the bias of yin and yang of the internal organs, prevention and treatment of diseases, prolong life.

The Chinese medicine emphasizes that the diet should be "five grains for nutrition, five fruits to help, no savings for the benefit of five dishes for the full", but also pay attention to the five flavors and harmony, or else, will be due to nutritional imbalance, body bias, dysfunction of the five viscera and bowels of the disease.

Confucius is the Spring and Autumn period, aged 72 years old, more than 2,000 years ago to live to more than 70 years is rarely high life. Confucius's longevity was inseparable from his way of eating.

The Analects of Confucius recorded: "Food is not too fine, popular food is not too fine, choking on food and discouragement, fish discouragement and meat failure not to eat, color evil not to eat, smell evil not to eat, loss of cooking not to eat, not to eat from time to time."

These words mean that food that has been left out for a long time and tastes bad will not be eaten, fish and meat and other dishes that are rotten will not be eaten, dishes that are not colorful will not be eaten, flavors that are not fresh will not be eaten, cooking that is not done with care will not be eaten, and food that is not eaten at the time of the meal will not be eaten.

The meaning of the admonition is to pay attention to the way of health, pay attention to diet and hygiene, and not to eat and drink indiscriminately.

Confucius's view of food and drink on the Chinese nation's "food culture" has a profound impact on the development of China's therapeutic basis, but also on the prosperity of the nation, the socio-economic development is also a major contribution.

Tang Dynasty famous scholar, medical doctor, dietician Monk wrote the "dietary herbs", specializing in the collection, the introduction of a variety of food with nourishing the body and healing effect, for people to use, so that people from the diet of the benefits of treatment of disease.

Written more than 1,000 years ago, "Food Therapy Materia Medica" is the world's earliest surviving monograph on food therapy materia medica. Its contents were scattered in later comprehensive herbal books, and a hand-copied volume of the book was found in the Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province in 1807.

The key to dietary regimen is to have a reasonable dietary structure. Record of health talk about health "six appropriate", food should be earlier, food should be warmer, food should be less, food should be lighter, food should be slower, food should be softer.

In terms of diet and health, Lu You, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, is drinking congee. He has a poem wrote:

The world all learn long years, do not realize that the long years in the present; I got Wanqiu easy method, only to eat porridge to the immortals.

For the cultivation of health, Chinese health theory that, where the pursuit of health and longevity should first start from the cultivation of sex, such as weekdays should be excluded from all kinds of delusions, more good words, more good deeds, can make their own open-minded, emotional stability, so as to maintain physical and mental health.

The most important thing is to cultivate the heart. "A life of indifference to nourish the heart", this is a very high spiritual realm. All people have joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, sadness, fear, and surprise, which are the seven emotions of human beings, and to go too far is to overdo the seven emotions.

The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine emphasizes "tranquility and emptiness" and says, "tranquility and emptiness, the real gas from the spirit of the internal guard, the disease is never". In short, the word "light" should be achieved.

The quiet spirit of health in traditional Chinese medicine occupies an important position in health science. The ancients believed that God is the master of life activities, to maintain the spirit of quiet, psychological balance, can maintain the true vitality of the sky, so that the five organs and peace, to help prevent disease, improve health and longevity.

On the contrary, it will lead to internal injuries, such as anger injury to the liver, happiness and sadness, thinking about injury to the spleen, worry about injury to the lungs, fear of injury to the kidneys, in order to induce a variety of physical and mental illnesses.

For the adjustment of gas health, Chinese medicine theory of health, the human body yuan qi has the birth, promote and fix blood, warm body tissues, resistance to disease, enhance the role of viscera function. Nutritional imbalance, improper work and rest, emotional disorders, disease and evil attack and many other factors, can lead to the yuan qi deficiency, trapped, stagnation, inverse, and then make the body undergo pathological changes.

The Chinese medicine qi health method advocates through prudent living, along with the four seasons, quit excessive labor, prevent excessive escape, adjust the diet, and the five flavors, adjust the seven emotions, provincial speech, Xi Tuna and a series of measures to regulate the vital energy, get rid of the disease and prolong the life.

In short, the way to health is to move the combination of shape, reasonable diet, cultivate the body, quiet God, so that we can achieve the purpose of "nourishment".
