People's life not only has the contents of general life, such as using external substances to form their own bodies, breeding offspring, growth and development, sports, adapting to environmental changes according to genetic characteristics, etc.
Neijing also emphasizes the following two points: first, the three elements of life activities _ essence, qi and spirit;
Second, the basic law of life process _ _ life, long, strong and old;
Neijing talks about human life activities, which can be summarized into three aspects: essence, qi and spirit.
As "The Soul of Ben Zang" said, "People are full of qi and blood, so those who devote themselves to life are also around life."
Essence, qi and spirit are the three elements that sustain life and run through the whole process of life. Later doctors called essence, qi and spirit "the three treasures of life".
"Essence" refers to the subtle substances that produce the human body and support the whole body to maintain physiological functions, including innate essence, acquired essence, blood, brain, bone marrow, body fluid and so on. It is the material basis of life activities. Huangdi Neijing said, "Life means essence. The essence of the husband is also the foundation of the body. "
Qi refers to all fine substances in the human body collectively referred to as qi, and also refers to the energy and function of these fine substances and the organs and tissues they form. For example, "Lingshu Jueqi" says: "When you burn your hair, you can announce the taste of grains, smoke your skin, replenish your body and moisten your hair. If you irrigate it with fog dew, it is called qi." Irrigation with fog and dew means that gas is a finely flowing substance that can be clearly seen by the naked eye. Fumigating the skin, filling the body and smoothing the hair refer to the functions of warmth and nourishment. Qi is a subtle life substance existing in human body and the material basis of life activities. Qi of human body is the material basis for maintaining human life activities, and its movement changes are also the movement of human life. Life depends only on qi. The accumulation of qi leads to life, while the dispersion of qi leads to death. Therefore, qi is the most basic substance that constitutes the human body and maintains human life activities. As "Soul Pivot Pulse Degree" said, "Qi can't go anywhere, just like water. Its overflowing qi fills the viscera internally and moistens it externally. " With the popularity of qi, it can nourish all tissues and organs of the body.
"God" is formed by innate essence. When the embryo is formed, the God of life is born! "God" occupies a primary position in the human body. Only when "God" is present can all human life activities be observed. God can be divided into a broad sense and a narrow sense. The broad sense refers to human life and its external manifestations. "Soul Pivot is God" "Two souls strive for God." In a narrow sense, it refers to the most advanced life activities based on essential harmony, such as the sensitive response of consciousness, thinking and emotion to external changes and the self-regulation of functional activities of various parts of the body.
In people's life activities, essence is the material basis, qi is the function and energy, and God is the information and its adjustment, and they are both coordinated and interactive. * * * ensures the normal progress of human life and runs through the whole process of life activities.
Composition of qi
First, vitality. The most important and basic qi in the human body is also called "vitality" and "true qi". It mainly comes from innate essence, and needs Shui Gu's subtle nourishment and supplement after birth.
Second, qi. It is a combination of clear qi inhaled by the lung and Shui Gu qi transported by the spleen and stomach, which gathers in the chest and promotes the breathing of the lung and the operation of painstaking efforts.
Third, defend qi. Shui Gu's Qi is a part of human yang, so it is also called "Weiyang", which has the functions of warming viscera, moistening fur and defending muscle surface.
Fourth, camp gas. Shui Gu's subtle transformation of the spleen and stomach is the most essential and nutritious part of Shui Gu's Qi, which can nourish the whole body and produce blood.
"Meridian" is an important part of human tissue structure. Meridians are like a structural contact network, which is made up of meridians and collaterals that are interrelated and intertwined, netting the whole body. There are trunks and branches in this huge network, and the meridians run up and down in the meridians, which is the trunk; Collaterals are branches and tributaries. In the human body, they are the channels through which qi and blood flow between tissues and organs. The circulation of qi and blood can nourish the tissues and organs of the whole body. Because meridians can transport nutrients to all parts of the body, ensuring the functional activities of all tissues and organs of the whole body.
Therefore, the meridian system is the master control system of the human body and the key to maintaining human health and longevity! The movement of qi, blood, body fluid, the functional activities of viscera and organs, and their connection and coordination must be realized through the transportation, conduction, connection and adjustment of the meridian system, making it an organic whole! Meridian runs through zang-fu organs and human body, and the essence produced by zang-fu organs flows through meridians to nourish the whole body!
People live a breath, which shows the importance of qi. Qi and blood depend on each other If one side is weak, the other side will follow suit. So many times of blood deficiency, this person is bound to be qi-deficient. While invigorating qi, we should also give consideration to enriching blood. At the same time, the qi mentioned here includes heart qi, temper, liver qi, lung qi and kidney qi. So how do you judge whether this popularity is enough? First of all, let's start with the observation, listening and questioning of Chinese medicine.
1.
Look at this person's overall situation and mental outlook. Whether the face is ruddy and shiny, whether the hair is black, whether the hair has blood, it can be black only if the blood is sufficient, otherwise the blood is insufficient and it will turn white early. However, there are also many people who stay up late, resulting in insufficient blood and premature gray hair. Whether the eyes have gods or not, the eyes are the windows of the soul, which can best reflect whether the liver and blood are sufficient, and at the same time, we can know whether the lung and qi are sufficient, and all the zang-fu organs are interrelated. Whether the lips are rosy or not, if they are dry and bloodless, it means that the spleen is weak and the hematopoietic function is poor. If there is less blood, there will be less gas.
Smell
The sense of smell can judge a person's hearing, which often reflects the renal function. Good hearing, full of kidney qi, uplifting the heart, and a good heart will make your face better.
ask about
By asking, you can see whether you are weak, lazy and talkative. Sufficient lung qi is often loud, fast and powerful. Lack of lung qi, weakness of speech, laziness to say more, slow movement and unresponsiveness.
cut
By caring about greetings, you can know whether urination is nocturia or urine leakage; Whether the stool is constipated; Whether sleep is insomnia, etc. If the stool is dry and constipation, it can be judged as qi deficiency, the lung and large intestine are different in appearance, and constipation is caused by insufficient lung qi. If nocturia leaks more urine, it means that the kidney is qi-deficient, and it is necessary to tonify the kidney and stop urine. If you suffer from insomnia for a long time, it means that your heart is insufficient and your heart and kidney can't intersect, which leads to insomnia.
Traditional Chinese medicine can accurately know the deficiency and weakness of qi and blood through "looking, listening and asking", and can also make accurate judgments. Sufficient qi leads to good health, while qi deficiency leads to more serious diseases. You can also exercise and refine your breath in peacetime, such as singing or counting when you are walking fast. For example, if you keep counting one jujube, two jujubes and three jujubes, see how many jujubes you can count in one breath, and you can also refine your breath. Why not?
That's right: yuan is the root, the beginning and the source! Qi is speed, leadership and pioneer! "Qi is handsome for blood", whether fresh blood is timely, rapid and sufficient depends entirely on blood.
Vitality: innate and acquired.
The innate vitality is given by the mother and formed in her body.
Acquired vitality is the energy produced by the body every day. In addition to maintaining the necessary energy of the body every day, if there is excess, it will be transformed into vitality and stored in the kidney. Please note: not much energy can be converted into much vitality! The vitality produced after the transformation is very small.
The most important performance of judging whether the vitality is sufficient is: "sexual fullness"!
The meaning of this sentence is: when the essence is sufficient (that is, the vitality is sufficient), people's urinary orifices will be opened. If the essence is not opened, there will be no desire, and they will dream about some messy things such as the relationship between men and women, sleep deeply, and wake up around six or seven in the morning, and they will be very awake and energetic. Even if they sleep deeply, they can't sleep.
These are some manifestations of particularly vigorous vitality. If you behave like this, you will live a long and healthy life (you will definitely live to be over 100)!
Vitality is the temperature and respiration of the embryo. If you don't have the confidence to speak, you will go offline and your breath will be weak. If your breathing is depressed, it will also be a compensation disease of weakness and qi stagnation.
Life-oriented public health believes that primordial qi is the essence of human qi, which depends on acquired qi. That is to say, Shui Gu subtle substances produced by the spleen and stomach are filled and nourished by the clear qi inhaled by the lungs. Vitality is related to innate endowment. Some people are naturally energetic, while others may be naturally lacking in vitality. Only by combining the days can we be full of vitality.
In this way, whether the vitality is sufficient depends on day after day. If there is fatigue, weakness, laziness, and dull complexion, it all means that qi deficiency, acquired qi deficiency, can not nourish innate qi, and it is also a manifestation of lack of vitality. If there are symptoms such as weak breathing, sweating, incontinence, coma, etc., it means a great loss of vitality.
It's simple. It is really simple. An organ, an eye! No matter the wise men who practice Taoism and Buddhism, they are full of energy. From the black and white of newborn babies, to the yellowish in middle age, to the whitening in old age, people's health and longevity can be expressed. A person is full of energy, his eyes are bright, and if he looks closely, he will have luster and brightness, then he must be mentally firm, healthy and clear-headed! Doing things with half the effort and learning will be unforgettable!
