Tracing back to the source, TCM health preserving culture is an important part of TCM culture, which originated from China's ancient philosophy. Zhouyi, as the "head of the group classics", is an important carrier of Confucianism and Taoism and the source of China traditional culture. While building a splendid Chinese civilization, it has also influenced China medicine, China people and China society.
At present, the rise of this new whirlwind of traditional health care profoundly shows that the wisdom of Confucianism and Taoism not only meets the needs of people's lives in modern society, but also has profound guiding significance in scientific health care.
"Unity of Heaven and Man" gives birth to the overall concept
Now the word we often use is "harmony", which is the core idea of Zhouyi. It regards nature and society as a whole, and puts forward the idea of "harmony between man and nature" and the way of heaven and earth, that is, "the way of establishing heaven, the way of yin and yang, the way of standing on the ground, the way of being firm and soft, the way of establishing people, the way of benevolence and righteousness". It is necessary to infer personnel from heaven, understand nature from natural development, understand nature and imitate nature, and seek ways and technologies to build a harmonious society.
Based on this harmonious thought, Chinese medicine put forward the overall concept of "correspondence between man and nature". Huangdi Neijing, as the pioneering work of TCM health culture, holds that man is a product of nature and should coexist with nature and everything in peace. People follow the inherent laws of natural changes, and their eating, living and working are adjusted with the changes of climate, geographical environment and social environment. Then, let nature take its course and integrate with nature, which can reduce diseases, delay aging and prolong life; Violating and destroying nature will inevitably be restricted and rewarded by nature, thus causing diseases and damaging the body.
TCM meridian health care links the ups and downs of human viscera and meridians in 12 hours, which is interlocking and very orderly; "Nourishing yang in spring and summer, nourishing yin in autumn and winter", as well as TCM diet health care and TCM emotional health care, are also the extension and development of Confucianism and Taoism, which embodies the overall adjustment advantages of TCM health care. If children have weak spleen and stomach, they can't eat more ice cream, and the elderly have poor gastrointestinal function, so they should drink more porridge at night. Keep in good health according to this natural law, and at the same time, we should also pay attention to "stealing wind from virtual evil, and sometimes avoiding it", that is, "hiding your mind in it can make you safe and not sick?"
With illness, Chinese medicine does not advocate "treating the headache and treating the foot pain", but pays attention to overall conditioning. Non-drug therapies such as acupuncture, massage, sticking and cupping, as well as natural medicines, are used to nourish the heart, tonify qi and blood, regulate the spleen and stomach, make the internal organs harmonious, smooth and balanced, and naturally relieve and disappear the symptoms of the disease.
Turn war into friendship. Traditional Chinese medicine puts forward the viewpoint of "living with virus" and "dancing with tumor", which not only improves people's quality of life and prolongs their life, but also illustrates the importance of conforming to nature and paying attention to overall harmony from another angle.
