Two: Ugly Times-Detailed Explanation of Seasonal Liver Meridian
Why do you say left liver and right lung
Clown refers to the period from 1 to 3 am, when the liver meridian is in season, that is to say, the liver meridian is on duty in the human body during this period. As we all know, the liver is on the right side of the human body, but Chinese medicine says that the liver is on the left side and the lung is on the right side. Why?
We can go to Wang Yao Temple, where there are usually statues of Sun Simiao. Sun Simiao sits on a tiger with a dragon in his hand. What does this mean? In China, dragons are the East. In the ancient culture of China, the East is called Qinglong, the West is called White Tiger, the South is called Suzaku, and the North is called Xuanwu. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the East is the liver, just like a dragon. There was a famous painting in ancient China called "Two Dragons Playing with Beads" (see photo). The bead in the middle represents the pearl of life, and the dragon on it generally nods downwards. Similarly, the same is true in the ancient tiger master plan. The fiercest tiger is Phytolacca esculenta. Tigers are all descended by the Lord, and white tigers are gathered by the Lord. When they are descended, they must be refreshed. This is the beauty of China culture. Nothing can only rise but not fall, or can only fall but not rise. This is the concept of "no great achievement" in the Book of Changes, and it is also the concept of change.
Why does Chinese medicine say left liver and right lung? Liver qi is the main ascending qi. For example, if you have a headache, you go to the hospital to see a doctor, and the doctor will tell you that the headache belongs to hyperactivity of liver yang, that is, the liver yang desperately goes up. This actually shows that your convergence function and health function are problematic. If the yang spirit rises instead of falling, it will give you a headache. On the left is hair growth, and liver qi is the main ascending; The right side is mainly descending, and the lung qi is mainly descending. Therefore, it is considered that "descending the dragon and enriching the tiger" is the most difficult in Taoist health preservation. In other words, it is the most difficult to adjust the rise and fall of human qi. The same is true for treating diseases. If we can master this qi machine, we can cure the disease.
"Use nine" in the Book of Changes: "It is good luck to see a leaderless group of dragons." This is all about hair growth, growth, convergence and collection. This is the highest state of life and the healthiest state of the body. If you feel unhealthy, you need to know which direction and which part is wrong, whether it is a collection problem or a hair problem.
If you are listless all day, there is something wrong with your hair. So what caused the problem of hair growth? Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is because there is not enough hiding in winter, and the kidney essence dissipates too much, so there is no growth. In Chinese medicine, it should be "aquatic wood". If there is not enough shade in winter, wood will not grow. China culture pays attention to the first three steps and the last three steps, not just the present. The same is true in the treatment of diseases. Where the diseases are, we cannot treat them there. In traditional Chinese medicine, "don't treat a disease before it is cured" means not to wait until it is cured, but to prevent it before it is cured and find the root of the problem. If the kidney essence is not hidden enough, we must first firmly grasp the central spleen soil, and then we can restore the convergence function of the kidney and treat liver diseases.
The liver governs storing blood, and the liver strengthens tendons.
Blood is related to the functions of several organs. Chinese medicine says that "the heart governs the blood", the whole body is not a meridian, and there is no blood everywhere. "Heart" can transport essence to the whole body. "Liver governs storing blood", which is the relieving function of fatty liver. The mechanism of human hair growth depends on the relieving function of liver. If a person is often angry and depressed, it will inhibit the antidiarrheal and hair growth functions of the liver, and it will be depressed. Qi is handsome in blood, and qi stagnation will lead to poor circulation of qi and blood, which will inevitably lead to weakness and cold limbs. If the hair growth function of the liver is inhibited for a long time, it will affect the growth and operation function of other organs. Which viscera is weak, waste can not be eliminated in time, and it will cause cancer after accumulation. The east is the liver, just like a dragon. Hiding blood is like keeping a dragon's head, so it's easy to hide it. "Spleen governs blood" means that the spleen has the function of controlling and distributing essence and blood. If menstrual blood does not pass through the vagina, but goes up through the mouth and nose, it means that the spleen does not control blood.
The second function of the liver is "the main muscle of the liver", which refers to the elastic fascia connecting the limbs. When there is something wrong with the elasticity of the human body, such as impotence (liver meridian around vulva), hemorrhoids, etc., there is something wrong with the main reinforcement function of the liver. The elasticity of tendon is gone. What's the matter? Chinese medicine believes that there is something wrong with blood, and blood cannot infiltrate this tendon. Nowadays, many people suffer from liver disease, which actually has a lot to do with some very bad habits in our daily life. For example, 65438+ 0 am to 3 am is the time to nourish liver blood. If you don't sleep, you can't afford liver blood. There are still many people who drink a lot for entertainment, which invisibly increases the workload of liver detoxification and will only make the liver worse and worse.
What is the general's strategy?
The Secret Code of Linglan in Huangdi Neijing holds that the liver is the official of the general and the chief strategist. Whether our intelligence can be brought into full play depends on whether our liver qi is insufficient. So what does "general officer" mean? A general can not only fight, but also plan. The general's strategizing function is equivalent to the blood storage function of the liver. And "strategy" means that only by nourishing the liver qi can we make a strategy and make a fire with wood fire as the heart; Wood is flourishing, fire is flourishing, and god comes out.
The general is "awesome", but he should "think twice"
The ancient meaning of the word "ugly" is to stretch out and retract. The extension means that the spirit of the sun looks like an ugly cow, but it still needs to converge on the whole.
