Application of Ganzhi Calendar in Traditional Chinese Medicine

In fact, the method of December in the twelve branches directly corresponds to the twelve months of human the twelve meridians, as the Yin and Yang theory in Huangdi Neijing says, that is, "the vernal equinox is cloudy, the summer equinox is noon, and the winter equinox is Haizi domain, totaling * * * twelve months. Twelve veins refer to the yang veins of hands and feet. The twelve pulses directly correspond to the qi number, so they are mutually induced with the qi of heaven and earth. " Twelve Branches and the twelve meridians directly correspond to twelve Branches, which are ugly. Tatsumi pressed the twelve meridians at noon, such as gallbladder, liver, lung, stomach, spleen, heart, small intestine, bladder, kidney and pericardium. Yin-yang, Yin-yang, Yin-yang, Yin-yang, Yin-yang, Yin-yang and Yin-yang meridians are also affected by seasonal solar terms, such as "Lingshu Five".

Chaos said, "the twelve meridians corresponds to December. December is divided into four seasons. " Four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, have different qi. "For the periodic characteristics of the synchronization of the ups and downs of meridians at four seasons and the ups and downs of Yin and Yang, see the annual periodic table of the ups and downs of meridians on the right.

Su Wen's theory of dirty qi emphasizes: "Liver dominates spring, foot jueyin and shaoyang are the main syndromes, … heart dominates summer, hand shaoyin and sun are the main syndromes, … spleen dominates summer, foot Taiyin and Yangming are the main syndromes, … lung dominates autumn, hand Taiyin and Yangming are the main syndromes, … kidney dominates winter, foot shaoyin and sun are the main syndromes." This main time rhythm of meridians is more in line with the dirty image theory in Huangdi Neijing. Zhang Congzheng, one of the four masters in Jin and Yuan Dynasties, attached great importance to the relationship between the occurrence of diseases and weather changes. He most admired the therapeutic principles of "spring vomiting", "sweating in spring and summer" and "autumn rain". At the same time, he suggested that "people who suddenly vomit at four o'clock don't have to wait until spring" and "if they get sick in autumn and winter, they should not sweat." But sweating is suitable in spring and summer, and it smells bad in autumn and winter. ""Sick in spring and summer is not enough. Mediocre jobs in this world are all delayed, and seriously ill people are also mistaken. Every day, Xia Yue dares to use drugs to clean his stomach. Oh! Why don't you touch nature? "

Zhang Congzheng believes that seasonal factors should also be considered when using drugs. Zhang Congzheng's Confucian Family Affairs discusses this issue in the chapter "Don't vent your profits with gas when setting the time", such as "It is too hot in the afternoon, so it should be pungent and cool; the ugly moon is too frozen, so it should be pungent and warm." Its statement is of positive significance. Studies have shown that the time of birth is related to neuropsychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, epilepsy and brain tumor. So is there a relationship between birth time and stroke? Dan Yu and Zhang Suming, scholars of traditional Chinese medicine, made scientific research on this. The methods are as follows: 832 patients with first stroke were stroke group; 832 patients had no history and signs of stroke; Matched with the stroke group according to the ratio of 1: 1, those with the same sex and birth year but similar age were the control group; The birth time of the subjects was recorded by solar calendar and elephant calendar; The frequency, onset age, sex and the nature of stroke lesions were statistically analyzed by circular distribution method. Conclusion: Stroke mostly occurs in the cold winter monsoon season. The onset age of stroke patients has a four-month rhythm, with four birth months as the cycle. The sex of stroke patients is closely related to the ten-day dry cycle of birth 10. The nature of stroke lesions is closely related to the daily cycle of 60-year-old people born in 1000 families. There is a four-year rhythm with four birth years as the cycle on the side of stroke focus.

American traditional Chinese medicine scholars Mao Xiaomei and Bai Guidun even put forward the "three-point method of five movements, six qi, yin and yang and ten constitutions", which divided the main branch period of five movements and six qi into segments, directly corresponding to the constitutions of people born in this period. This is equivalent to taking the group's birthday in a period of time and space as the interval value to divide the physique, and extracting the physique, frequently-occurring probability and physiological low tide period with similar characteristics as reference data as a theoretical evaluation of the physique, health or disease of patients with similar birthdays, thus supplementing the "heaven" of traditional Chinese medicine. The mathematical model "Ganzhi Calendar" used to deduce the theory of TCM luck is actually an advanced and scientific astronomical calendar with China characteristics. This is because the era of the dry calendar has been determined. The combination of the solar calendar has a profound astronomical background, including the period of revolution of the Earth and the rotation period, which reflects the changing law of the sun's radiation to the Earth, and also includes the regularity and decisive role of the moon and other planets in the solar system in the atmospheric circulation on the Earth's surface, including the water vapor circulation in the atmosphere. Solar radiation and atmospheric circulation are important factors in modern meteorological research.

As a deductive tool of luck theory, the interaction between branches reflects the characteristics of astronomical factors on earth. The calendar uses algebra (algebra is an important part of mathematics) as the basic calculation method for processing astronomical data. It is also an effective means for China paleoastronomy to study the different temporal and spatial effects of the five planets of the sun, the moon and the solar system as relatively static particles on the earth, and it should also be a useful model for establishing mathematical models of the dry calendar and equatorial ecliptic coordinate system.

There is a direct relationship between the cycle of global meteorological climate change, individual genetic constitution, health characteristics and different age manifestations of related diseases reflected by the trunk-branch calendar, which can be repeatedly analyzed and discussed through different trunk-branch combinations to infer the change of TCM luck. Part of this ancient method is the introduction of the 24 solar terms, which is said to have been created by Chen Xiyi, a famous Taoist health-preserving practitioner in China, in the late Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and the early Song Dynasty. The complete record of the introduction of the 24 solar terms, the earliest document we can see now is the book Bao Sheng Xin Jian written by Tiefeng Jushi in Ming Dynasty. The book focuses on the preface to the gathering and dispersion of twenty-four qi, fire and water in Taiqing. According to the order of months, this paper describes the guiding methods and instructions after each solar term in a year, with beautiful images. Illustrated, simple and practical, it has a great influence on later generations. 1895, J. Dudgeon translated it into English and began to spread overseas. The other parts of the ancient law were created by Sun Simiao in the Tang Dynasty (praised by later generations as "the king of medicine" and "the god of medicine"), Xu Jingyang in the Jin Dynasty (that is, praised by the courts in previous dynasties and loved by the people, known as "the magical power helps the true king") and Lian in the Ming Dynasty.

First, the first month (immediately, "Zheng" refers to the month, the first meaning, the same below) regimen.

The first month is Meng Chun (also called Meng Yue, that is, the first month of each quarter, the second month of the month and the third month of the quarter, the same below. ), although spring has arrived, its qi has not reached, the winter is not over, and the spring cold is extremely hurt. People who are good at keeping in good health should keep secrets and don't vent their anger. Winter qi has declined, and kidney is out of date, so it is easy to get sick. Sun Simiao in the Tang Dynasty pointed out: "In the first month, kidney qi was affected, and lung qi was weak. Therefore, it is appropriate to reduce the salty and sour taste, increase the spicy taste, benefit the kidney and lungs, and nourish the stomach. " Don't risk freezing, don't get too warm, get up early and lie down at night to slow down. In the Ming dynasty, Lian pointed out: "the moon" ... should sit and lie facing north. "

The guidance method is as follows:

1. In the Song Dynasty, beginning of spring, Chen Xiyi, sat in the festival of the first month: transporting Jueyin and began to breathe. When holding hands, Shaoyang has three friends.

Sit down: Every day when you are ugly, put your hands together and press your moustache, turn to crookneck, and shrug your shoulders left and right, 35 degrees each. Knock your teeth, exhale and rinse your mouth three times.

Treatment: accumulation of ethos, neck pain, blind shoulder pain, back pain, elbow and arm pain are all treated.

2, sitting in the rain in the first month: transporting the main yin, the first breath. When the hands are matched, the sun is less and the fire is triple.

Sit-in: When you are ugly every day, put your hands together and press your moustache, bend your neck and turn around, and lead left and right, 35 degrees each. Knock on your teeth, exhale and rinse your mouth.

Treatment: Pathogenic toxin stays in triple energizer meridians, resulting in dryness, swelling, sore throat, deafness, hyperhidrosis, acute eye pain and cheek pain, and the supervisor will treat it accordingly.

February and February regimen

February is mid-spring, February Festival and vernal equinox in mid-February. "Spring and Autumn is full of dew, Yin and Yang are up and down" points out: "The vernal equinox, Yin and Yang are half-phase, so day and night are cold and summer. People who keep in good health should be in harmony with their aspirations, calm their hearts, not extremely cold, not too hot, quiet and dignified, and born from the law. ..... Anger at ugliness should lie in the northeast. "In terms of diet, Sun Simiao pointed out:" In February, the kidney qi is weak and the liver is prosperous, so it is advisable to abstain from acid and increase pungent, help the kidney and replenish the liver. "It is advisable to flatten the diaphragm, eliminate phlegm and promote diuresis, slightly thin the skin and sweat, so as to dispel the qi accumulated in winter."

The guidance method is as follows:

1. There are two sitting methods of Xu Jingyang in Jin Dynasty: one is to sit up straight with hands crossed, and fight for it to treat liver stroke. After covering your neck with your hands, make your face look up, make your neck contend with your hands, and get rid of heat, toxic shoulder pain, unclear eyes and wind accumulation.

Secondly, put your hands together, press the moustache, try your best to eliminate the wind poison in the waist and kidney and the qi in the chest and diaphragm, and improve your eyesight at the same time.

....................................................................................................................................................... ...........................'s practice of this skill can relieve the pressure on the waist, and it can be refreshing, mainly to prolong life.

There is a saying in the article: You should know that the four seasons, eight festivals, twenty-four qi, seventy-two seasons, and hundreds of hours around the clock are all guiding. In this climate, there are often no disasters and they will last for a long time. In case of beginning of spring (that is, silver moon) after the first month, when you are ugly every day, put your hands on your two inner kidneys, turn around and shrug your shoulders, exhale and cough. The hall can do its best, although it is not enough to achieve enlightenment, it can also spread the disease of Yu Mei's back, and it is light and healthy. ..... After the Ming Festival in March (that is, in the morning), when I am ugly, I just sit quietly. My left hand and right hand attracted the ancestral spirits of seven or eight degrees, and it took me three or two times to clear the liquid and spit turbidity. But my waist, kidneys and stomach are stagnant, so why not increase my life span! In mid-March, when you are ugly every day, lie on your back, change your hands left and right, lift your kidney three or five degrees each, and swallow the water in the huachi to go to your abdomen, or two or three times. You can go to the spleen and stomach for a long time, and you can be healthy and healthy ... After December, when you are ugly, you just sit still, holding the root in one hand and the navel in the other. You are lucky not to let go. ……
