Understanding of TCM health preservation

Hello, landlord! Glad to answer your question! Traditional Chinese medicine health preservation refers to a medical activity that supports life, strengthens physique and prevents diseases through various methods, so as to prolong life.

Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to integrity and systematicness, aiming at nip in the bud.

The famous representative work of TCM theory is Huangdi Neijing.

Traditional Chinese medicine health preservation comes from ancient essence medicine, and the level of contemporary Chinese medicine has declined, while ancient Chinese medicine deserves further development and research.

The so-called life is the meaning of life, survival and growth. The so-called maintenance means maintenance, recuperation and nourishing.

In a word, keeping in good health is to maintain life.

Guided by the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, we should follow the changing law of the biochemical set of Yin-Yang and Five Elements to scientifically recuperate human health and vitality.

Psychological health preservation refers to the method of nourishing the heart, regulating the mood and life, so as to achieve the purpose of maintaining the body, reducing diseases, improving health and prolonging life.

China's traditional health care emphasizes the relationship between man and nature, and thinks that man should adapt to the changes of natural environment and climate in four seasons, actively adjust himself, keep a balance with nature and avoid the invasion of external evils.

The Book of Changes says that "one yin and one yang is the way"; "The image of law is nothing more than heaven and earth, and it is nothing more than four seasons."

(Book of Changes) Laozi said, "Taoism is natural.

"It is the basic requirement of TCM health preservation.

TCM health preservation is a treasure of Chinese traditional culture, and its purpose is to nourish vitality, prevent and treat diseases, and pursue health and longevity.

There are many health care technologies in TCM, such as food tonic, medicine tonic, acupuncture, qigong and so on.

The ancients thought that the method of keeping in good health was not like replenishing heaven, and the method of replenishing heaven was not like nourishing essence; Fine tonic can transform qi, while strong tonic can concentrate; All spirits are the balance of Yin and Yang, the coordination of zang-fu organs and the smooth flow of qi and blood, thus ensuring the health and strength of the body.

Therefore, the maintenance of vigor is the most important content and the foundation of human health.

In traditional Chinese medicine, the most important physiological and functional activities of the human body are summarized as essence, qi and spirit, which are considered as the basis of life and the three major elements to maintain the overall life activities of the human body.

As early as 2000-3000 years ago, Zhouyi, Huangdi Neijing and Laozi had a complete set of health preservation principles, which were like a treasure house that could never be dug up, and were worth exploring again and again.

The concept of TCM health care includes three magic weapons: harmony between man and nature, balance between yin and yang, and harmony between body and mind.

Editor's Note: In the history of China, there was a legend in ancient Chinese medicine that "Shennong tasted a hundred herbs" ... and encountered 70 poisons a day ",which reflected the arduous process of discovering drugs and accumulating experience in the struggle against nature and diseases in ancient times, and it was also a true portrayal that Chinese medicine originated from productive labor.

As early as the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties (about the end of the 22nd century BC-256 BC), medicinal liquor and decoction appeared in China.

The Book of Songs in the Western Zhou Dynasty (about 1 1 century-77 BC1years ago) is the earliest book with drugs in existing literature in China.

Neijing is the earliest extant classic of Chinese medicine theory, which puts forward the theories of "cold is hot, heat is cold", "five flavors enter" and "five internal organs are bitter and want to tonify diarrhea", which lays the foundation for the basic theory of Chinese medicine.

The earliest existing pharmaceutical monograph "Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing" was collected and summarized by many medical scientists during the Qin and Han Dynasties (2265438 BC+0-220 AD).

This book contains 365 kinds of drugs that are still in clinical use.

Its appearance marks the initial establishment of traditional Chinese medicine.

More than 3,000 years ago, in Oracle Bone Inscriptions during the Shang Dynasty, there were records about China's medical care and more than ten diseases.

In the Zhou Dynasty, methods of diagnosis, medicine, acupuncture and surgery were used.

A systematic work Huangdi Neijing was formed in Qin and Han Dynasties.

This book is the earliest classic of TCM theory.

Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Febrile Diseases specifically discusses the principles of syndrome differentiation and treatment of various miscellaneous diseases, which lays the foundation for the development of clinical medicine in later generations.

Surgery in Han dynasty has reached a high level.

According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, Hua Tuo, a famous doctor, has started to use the general anesthetic "Mafeisan" for various surgical operations.

From Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties (AD 220-589) to Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties (AD 58 1-960), pulse diagnosis has made outstanding achievements.

Wang Shuhe, a famous doctor in Jin Dynasty, summarized 24 kinds of pulse conditions in Pulse Classic.

This book not only has a great influence on medicine in China, but also has spread abroad.

During this period, the specialization of medical disciplines has matured.

Acupuncture monographs include Acupuncture A&B Classics; Bao Puzi and Elbow Queen are the representative works of an alchemist. In pharmacy, there is the theory of Lei Gong's baking; Surgery has "Liu Gui Yi"; On the Origin of Disease and Syndrome is a monograph on etiology, and Cranial Meridian is a monograph on pediatrics. The newly revised Materia Medica is the first pharmacopoeia in the world. Ophthalmology monographs include Hai Yin Jingwei, etc.

In addition, some large-scale prescriptions appeared in the Tang Dynasty, such as Sun Simiao's "Thousand Women" and Wang Tao's "The Secret of Outside Taiwan".

The economic prosperity in Tang Dynasty (6 18-907) promoted the development of traditional Chinese medicine.

Tang * * * took the lead in completing the compilation of the world's first Pharmacopoeia-Tang Materia Medica.

There are 850 kinds of drugs in the book, and the drug atlas is added, which further improves the scale pattern of traditional Chinese medicine.

In the Song Dynasty (960- 1279), acupuncture teaching was greatly reformed.

Wang wrote "Illustration of Acupuncture at Tongren Point". Later, he designed and manufactured two acupuncture bronze figures of the same size for students to practice.

This pioneering work has a great influence on the development of acupuncture in later generations.

In the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1368- 1644), a group of medical scientists proposed to separate typhoid fever, epidemic febrile diseases and epidemic febrile diseases.

In the Qing Dynasty, the theory of typhoid reached a mature stage, and monographs such as Treatise on Febrile Diseases appeared.

Since the Ming Dynasty, western medicine was introduced into China, and a group of medical scientists advocated "integration of Chinese and western medicine" and became the pioneers of integration of Chinese and western medicine.

In the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1368- 1644), pharmacologist Li Shizhen completed Compendium of Materia Medica, a masterpiece of traditional Chinese medicine, which included 1892 kinds of drugs and became the greatest integrated work in the history of China's materia medica.

Modern Chinese Medicine 1, Western Medicine 1568, Bishop Caneiro of Macau founded the first western medicine mission hospital in China, and western medicine has been coming to China continuously since then, but at that time their main activities were only in Macau and Guangzhou, and most of them were missionaries and doctors. Their main job is to preach, and practicing medicine is an auxiliary means to leave a good impression on the people.

When modern medicine entered China, quinine and other drugs that China did not have before enriched the treatment methods.

But western learning was relatively backward at that time.

That is, western learning consciously regards its own medical skills as an auxiliary treatment for diseases in traditional Chinese medicine.

Most of the Chinese concepts they use are directly taken from Chinese medicine.

Such as colds, colds, etc.

Tang Rongchuan, a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, thinks that Chinese medicine is better than western medicine, but western medicine also has its own advantages. "Western medicine was not thorough; Traditional Chinese medicine follows the truth, but the rate is often wrong. Therefore, we should "not keep the similarities and differences of territory, but seek compromise and unification", which is the basic proposition of his famous Essence of Chinese and Western Medicine.

After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Ding, a Chinese medicine practitioner, and Yan Fuqing, a returnee of western medicine, founded the Chinese Medical Association and the Chinese Medical Association.

At that time, there was no strong distinction between Chinese and western portals within the medical association, because the purpose of the medical association was to learn various medical theories and improve medicine.

The Constitution of the Chinese Medical Association chaired by Ding clearly stated: "Study Chinese and Western medicine, exchange knowledge and revitalize medicine.

"The purpose of introducing western medicine still embodies the reformist thought.

That is, "middle school is the body and western learning is the use."

2. The influence of medicine now. After the Revolution of 1911, the policy was re-formulated. 19 12 Beiyang * * * in the newly promulgated academic system and various school rules, only medical colleges are advocated, only for western medicine, because only western medicine has colleges, while Chinese medicine is taught by mentoring.

Because Chinese medicine is not involved in the regulations at all, Chinese medicine practitioners everywhere think that it is "tolerable."

Yuan Guisheng, the founder of Yangzhou Research Association of Chinese and Western Medicine, first publicly criticized Beiyang's medical education policy, accusing the two educational systems formulated in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China of being based on the Japanese system. Japan has implemented the policy of abolishing Chinese medicine as early as the Meiji Restoration, and its intention of not listing Chinese medicine is nothing more than imitating Japan.

This is the "omission of Chinese medicine cases in the education system" in the history of modern medicine.

Since then, the problem of abolishing Chinese medicine and protecting Chinese medicine has always existed.

It can be seen that the influence of modern medicine on Chinese medicine began with the politician's strategy of governing the country.

Behind this, it is western medicine that constantly absorbs the achievements of modern science and gradually develops into modern medicine.

3. After the founding of New China, Chairman * * * put forward the instruction of integrating traditional Chinese and western medicine.

On the surface, this is still a medical development under politics.

The reason behind this is that under the constant impact of modern medicine, Chinese medicine has not really lost its market.

The therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine on many diseases has become the therapeutic basis of its existence.

The complete system of TCM conforms to the thinking mode of China people, which has become the cultural basis of TCM, or because of the existence of TCM culture.

At present, the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine is mainly manifested in the independent application of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine technology in clinic.

Therefore, Mr. Nie Wentao believes that this is more a combination of technology and theory.

4. Since the reform and opening-up of modernization of traditional Chinese medicine, many scientific and technological workers in the field of traditional Chinese medicine are trying to understand traditional Chinese medicine with modern science.

Academicians from China Academy of Engineering and China Academy of Sciences have made long-term efforts.

Influenced a generation of literati.

For example, at the end of last century and the beginning of this century, 1996, the academic circles in Tsinghua had a new comprehensive and creative understanding and interpretation of the essence of qi, the essence of meridians, Yin and Yang, the five elements, Tibetan images and the philosophy of traditional Chinese medicine.

For example, Deng Yu and others found that gas is a flowing mixed unity of' information-energy-matter'; Anatomical structure of meridians with fractal dimension; Mathematical yin and yang; TCM fractal set: fractal Yin-Yang set-Yin-Yang set fractal dimension, five-line fractal set-five-line fractal dimension; Five systems of fractal Tibetan image-heart system, liver system, spleen system, lung system and kidney system; Three philosophies of traditional Chinese medicine-the newly proposed third philosophy: similarity-fractal theory, etc.

Edit the theoretical basis of this paragraph. Chinese medicine has a deep idea of keeping in good health.

First, the health concept of harmony between man and nature.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that heaven and earth are the big universe, human body is the small universe, and man and nature are interlinked. People are always unaffected by heaven and earth, just like fish in water, water is fish, and the change of water will definitely affect fish. Similarly, changes in everything in the world will affect people.

Therefore, TCM health care emphasizes the unity of man and nature, and the methods of health care are cold, hot and cold with the climate change of the four seasons, which should be adjusted appropriately.

Second, a healthy concept of balance between yin and yang.

People with a balance of yin and yang are the healthiest people, and the goal of health preservation is to achieve a balance of yin and yang in body and mind.

What is Yin? Yin is the material basis of the body.

What is Yang? Yang is energy, and Yin and Yang are relative. Everything that is upward, outward, active and feverish belongs to Yang. Everything that is downward, inward and cold belongs to yin.

The reason why the body is sick is because of the imbalance of yin and yang, which leads to yang excess or yin excess, yin deficiency or yang deficiency. As long as we try to reduce too many prescriptions, increase too few prescriptions, and restore the original balance of yin and yang, the disease will naturally disappear.

Therefore, TCM health care highly emphasizes the balance of yin and yang and healthy life.

Third, the holistic view of body and mind.

Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to both body and mind, not only to the exercise and maintenance of the tangible body, but also to the cultivation and recuperation of the mind. The body will affect the mind, and the mind will also affect the body. They are two sides of a whole, and they are indispensable.

The purpose of health preservation is to prolong life, prevent aging and have health.

The first question in Huangdi Neijing, the theory of ancient naivety, is the relationship between functional decline and life span: "I heard that ancient people are 100 years old in spring and autumn, and their actions never fail." People in today's world are 500 years old, and their behavior has declined. How different are the times? " Will people miss it? "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica constantly puts forward the concept of' not old'.

Nie pointed out in Seeking the Wisdom of Shennong that the development of traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine depends not on accidental experience accumulation, but on the exploration of a large number of ancient philosophers in pursuit of a higher health level.

Tao Te Ching once said that people who are good at keeping in good health know how to avoid physical and mental harm.

They know how to avoid diseases through a correct diet and a healthy lifestyle, so as to gain health and live longer than the average person.

If people can stay away from diseases, they can naturally delay aging and prolong life.

First of all, it is important for TCM to cultivate one's morality, which is the most important condition for health and longevity.

Traditional Chinese medicine has always attached importance to mental health. As early as more than 2,000 years ago, there was a saying in the medical book Huangdi Neijing that "if you are indifferent, the true qi will follow, and the spirit will be hidden inside, and you will be safe from illness", which clearly stated that you should pay attention to spiritual maintenance in health preservation.

Taoism also emphasizes that people should be kind, loyal, caring, friendly, kind, compassionate and helpful.

These virtues are not only beneficial to oneself, but also to society.

Those who can possess these virtues will be more able to appreciate the happiness in life and enjoy a healthy body and mind.

The second key factor of health preservation is regular exercise.

Sick people need exercise, and people who are not sick also need exercise to prevent it.

At the same time of exercise, it can achieve the purpose of strengthening the body, strengthening the will, promoting digestion and circulation, and enhancing immunity.

The third point is to maintain mental, emotional and psychological health.

Keeping in good health requires us to cultivate healthy spirit and stable mood, and avoid mental extremes, psychological fluctuations and emotional instability.

According to the viewpoint of "Anger hurts the liver, likes sadness, thinks about hurting the spleen, grieves the lungs and fears hurting the kidney" in TCM, it is further explained that emotional care is an important link in human health, and among all the bad factors affecting the human body, the most harmful one is bad mood.

When people's mental state is normal, the ability of the body to adapt to the environment and resist diseases will be enhanced, which can play a role in preventing diseases.

A healthy and balanced diet is also an essential factor for health preservation.

For thousands of years, healthy food and balanced diet have been considered as the key factors to achieve longevity, and unreasonable eating habits have been accused of being the root of health problems.

Disease prevention is also an important part of health care.

Through regular exercise, proper use of drugs, proper food supplement and other healthy activities, everyone can achieve the goal of keeping fit and delaying aging.

I hope I can help you! Haha ~
