Notes on the study of ancient naive theory in Huangdi Neijing

Since I started my business, all kinds of complicated affairs have made it difficult for me to settle down and study. Perhaps because I am not sincere about books, I feel that learning is getting harder and harder. With the east wind of "Tao is not Tao", I finally became a good student in a down-to-earth manner (no way, after nearly 20 years of study, I unconsciously fell ill and didn't hand in my homework, which has nothing to do with my love of learning, just like obsessive-compulsive disorder of repeatedly confirming whether the door is related ...)

For the introduction of Chinese medicine, Huangdi Neijing is the first choice, which is quoted from Xuanyuandi, the early ancestor of mankind, and his Stone Weather Bo, which discusses health preservation and treatment. ? Here, I take the first article of "Ancient Naivety" as a clue to share my learning experience, and hope that experts can point out the maze.

It is said that once upon a time, Huang Di was born smart. He was good at talking when he was very young. When he was young, he quickly grasped the things around him. When he grew up, he was honest and diligent, and became the son of heaven as an adult. He asked Qi Bo: I heard that people in ancient times were over 100 years old and showed no signs of aging; Now people are only half a century old, but their movements are very weak. Is this caused by different times, or is it because people nowadays can't keep in good health?

Qi Bo replied: People who knew how to keep in good health in ancient times were able to adapt and reconcile the methods of keeping in good health according to the natural changes of Yin and Yang in heaven and earth, so as to reach the correct standard. Moderate diet, regular work and rest, neither rushing to work, but also avoiding excessive sexual intercourse, can be harmonious and unified, live to a natural age, and die at the age of 100;

People nowadays are not like this. They regard wine as water slurry, drink too much, make abnormal life a habit, get drunk and indulge, exhaust the yin essence because of wanton indulgence, dissipate the true qi because of satisfying hobbies, carelessly keep the essence full, are not good at controlling the spirit, but pursue the instantaneous agility of the mind, which violates the laws of life and work, so they will age in half a century.

? I have listened to the lectures given by Mr. Xu Wenbing, who has a particularly incisive view on ancient naivety. He thinks keeping in good health is like keeping flowers and pets. Don't be willful, but understand its essence. He believes that the ultimate goal of learning health preservation is to "restore consciousness" and let instinct guide the body to run. This is the essence of our "ancient innocence".

The lizard cut off its tail, but abandoned the car to protect its handsome. Our bodies also have the instinct to protect themselves. When we are short of qi and blood, we should first protect the qi and blood supply of the trunk and weaken the qi and blood of the limbs. Therefore, today is not "different from the times", but "I don't know". A wrong direction leads to the opposite direction.

And what is "knowing"? That is, "the law is based on yin and yang and on the number of skills." There is a festival in diet, and there is often a daily life in life. Don't act rashly. "

What is "law"? This may mean a calendar. Ancient calendars can be divided into lunar calendars and solar calendars. The solar calendar is 24 solar terms, which are used to guide farming, and the lunar calendar is the change of the moon, which is used to guide life. In ancient times, people worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, and adjusted their lives according to the movement of the sun, moon and stars. This is "the law is in Yin and Yang".

? What is "Yin and Yang"? Husband yin and yang, heaven and earth are in common. The four seasons of Yin and Yang are the end of all things and the foundation of life and death. Yin and Yang, the law of natural changes in heaven and earth, are not harsh and can't stand illness. This is the Tao.

? What is "harmony"? Yan zi said: gentlemen are harmonious but different, while villains are the same but not harmonious. So the premise of "harmony" is different. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the adaptation of time, place and people, so it is different. "Different" does not mean "disharmony". There are specialties in the art, and the way to preserve one's health here is to use it flexibly and dialectically.

? What is "festival"? This "festival" is not only a festival of solar terms, but also a festival of rhythm and moderation. The so-called "moderation in eating and drinking" can be seen.

? What is "labor"? If you work, you will work. In ancient times, it went with the weather and stopped at sunset. If you need to light a lamp, you will work hard. At present, under the pressure of competition, there are many things in which the body is exchanged for short-term benefits, and the mental pressure that comes with it makes people indulge themselves. This can be described as killing the goose that lays the golden egg, "so it is half-baked."

Although people are only a hundred years old, they are in the Yellow Emperor, born as gods, and pay special attention to the way of keeping in good health. We laymen should pay more attention to it. I will never forget that my body and hair should be cherished and valued. If I had no disease and pain, I would live to be 100 years old. Isn't it the greatest blessing for yourself and your family?
