Chinese Medicine Health Philosophy: "Follow Nature" to Nurture, Prevent and Cure Diseases

Wen/Zhang Liping Health is an ideal state, but also a philosophy. Man is a part of nature, but I don't know when he started to get farther and farther away from the distance with nature. Probably the relationship between man and nature has changed: man and all things were part of nature, but now there is a reversal, because people in the struggle with nature gradually gained the initiative, nature has become a man to transform and even to dominate the nature. Man's power to transform nature has increased, and his dependence on nature has decreased. This is also true in the field of medicine. From the divine medical model in ancient times to the natural philosophical medical model in ancient times, whether it was reverence for the mysterious forces of nature or adherence to the laws of nature, medicine at that time was closely related to nature. However, the modern biomedical model and the contemporary "biopsychosocial" medical model have gone further and further along the path of reductionism, and there is no longer any shadow of "nature". There is no longer any shadow of "nature". In a sense, the natural attributes of human beings can be reduced to biological and animal nature, and then to rationalized attributes. The path and methodology of rationalization research are applied, but it does not follow that this is the only path, the only solution. What's more, human beings have more than just biological attributes (they also have social and humanistic attributes). Zhang Daqing said, "After all, human life and disease are not an onion that can only be peeled with 'one knife'." TCM, which came out of the ancient natural philosophy model of medicine, has delved deeper into the path of human natural attributes than precisely what modern and medical science can ever hope to achieve, at least for the time being. Holistic thinking, a broad vision of the "self" Modern science uses the method of reduction and decomposition to study the nature and functional characteristics of human life, from the tissue and organs, cells, molecules to the genetic level of the development of the life sciences, medicine, has made significant achievements in the field of life sciences and medicine. However, it is not the only path to understanding human beings. When we turn our eyes from the inside of the human body to the outside of the human being, we will find that the human being can be not knocked down, and the human being can be more than just a human body, and the human being is more than just a living creature, but a natural human being who is connected with and corresponds to the nature of heaven and earth. Man is born of the creation of heaven and earth and is a product of nature. Man comes from nature and survives in the natural flow of time. To understand man from nature should also be an indispensable path. How to use natural Qi to help the human body's "vital energy" Using natural Qi to help the vital energy is a major method of health maintenance, disease prevention and treatment, but modern people whose heads are filled with all kinds of "scientific research" do not think so. First of all, our ancestors have always advocated the form and spirit **** nourishment, especially the importance of the essence, gas, God's conditioning, one of the very important path is "with the times", which includes the adjustment of the will, living, behavior, diet and so on. However, modern people do not emphasize these. For example, in terms of diet, all kinds of vegetables, fruits and melons are available regardless of the time of the year, and the seasons are gradually fuzzy, and people are no longer concerned about being in season or out of season. Instead, they talk about nutrients - breaking a whole food into pieces, and separating out nutrients such as sugars, lipids, proteins, vitamins, inorganic salts, water, and fibers to talk to our bodies. Tamsin, "We Just Don't Need Protein," says, "After what we ate was transformed from food to nutrients, our traditional culture lost its voice to the fundamental question of life, 'What should we eat?'" Food is a gift from nature, an intermediary between humans and nature. Nature is prompted by what our bodies need and don't need. Again, such as the issue of sleep time, the scientific saying is about 6-8 hours, in order to be able to lift the fatigue, can be very good for the day's work and study as a standard; Chinese medicine, however, does not have a fixed time standard, which tells people to comply with the four seasons of the waxing and waning of yang qi, the spring and summer night sleep early, early fall sleep and early wake up, early sleep and late wake up in the winter, so that a basic work and rest rules. More such as exercise, modern exercise physiology research that the body's metabolic rate, the body's hormone activity in the afternoon to the evening of a period of time in the best state, this time the body's flexibility, agility and to the body's adaptive capacity and nerve sensitivity of the best, the evening is a good time to work out; Traditional Chinese Medicine from the "celestial" perspective on this issue, that the morning and the morning, the body's adaptive ability and nerve sensitivity. View this issue from the perspective of "the unity of heaven and man", that the morning popularity is born, is the time to exercise, and the day west of the yang qi has been weak when people should be convergence to refuse evil, and do not disturb the muscles and bones to consume the yang qi. With the footsteps of the times, people's lifestyles, eating habits, whether active or passive, has indeed changed a lot, and can not be a single say which is right or wrong, which is better or worse. These few examples are just meant to revive people's instinct to get closer to nature, which they have gradually lost. There are many kinds of diseases, and according to the International Classification of Diseases ICD-10 issued by the World Health Organization in 1978, there are already tens of thousands of diseases, and new diseases are still being discovered or occurring. Although the human body's diseases are diverse and varied, but in the view of traditional Chinese medicine, no out of the eight outlines, internal organs, Wei Qi Ying blood, San Jiao, six meridians, meridians and five transport six qi and other evidence outside. To put it in another way, if measured from the relationship between the onset of disease and the time of the day, diseases can be divided into two major categories: those related to the time of the day, and those not related to the time of the day. The former is precisely the category of diseases for which the "appropriate treatment according to the time of the day" is appropriate. In the clinic, when the doctor encounters this kind of disease if you can be very sensitive to the "time" and "disease" correlation, often can be more accurate identification, in the efficacy of treatment will also have twice the result with half the effort. For the doctor, although it is not necessary as "Su Wen - six sections of the Tibetan elephant theory" said "I do not know the year of the addition, the gas of the fullness of the decline, the virtual reality of the rise, can not be for the work", but looking back on the medical history of the medical practitioner, it is not difficult to find that all can be called a great doctor, more than "" good time ""! -- good at grasping the human body to the healing time. By the same token, those who are good at health care also know how to "keep up with the times". When Mr. Lu Guangxin, a master of Chinese medicine, was alive, he was especially fond of talking about "the way of life", and he once summed up "the way of life in Chinese medicine": follow the way of life, help the qi of life, use the tools of life, and seek the effect of life. "The "Way of Life" is the concept of health in Chinese medicine, the concept of health maintenance, disease prevention and treatment in Chinese medicine.
