The meaning in traditional health preservation refers to

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "healthy qi should be kept inside, and evil should not be done". The so-called "healthy qi" refers to the resistance to pathogenic microorganisms and their own adaptive ability, and "evil" refers to various pathogenic factors.

It means: when the viscera function is normal, the vital qi is vigorous, the qi and blood are smooth, the external defense is strict, the external evil is difficult to invade, and the internal evil is difficult to live, the disease will not occur.

From Su Wen's Legacy and Acupuncture Theory, it says: "The true qi is not right, so there are evil deeds." "Righteousness exists inside, and evil cannot be done."

Theory of pathogenic factors rising and falling

The theory of evil is based on ancient military thought. Su Wen introduced this idea into medicine, believing that the occurrence and development of diseases depend on the rise and fall of good and evil. As the saying goes, "evil combined with qi deficiency" (fever review). It is necessary to improve the "healthy qi" in the human body, "healthy qi exists inside, and evil is not feasible" (acupuncture theory). This is the basic principle of preventing and treating diseases in traditional Chinese medicine.

As for the method of strengthening the body, Su Wen mentioned: "Virtual evil steals wind, so it is sometimes avoided. Despair and nothingness, the true qi follows, the spirit stays inside, and the disease is always safe? " (ancient naivety) and "the law is based on yin and yang, and based on the number of skills, and the diet is moderate, the daily life is regular, so it can be in harmony with the gods and end its days" (ancient naivety). The above theory has important guiding significance for the prevention of diseases.

Extended data

Different diseases have different manifestations of deficiency and excess. Su Wen used a lot of space to analyze the manifestations of deficiency and excess of various diseases, such as fever, cold, cough, malaria, syncope, joint pain, diseases and abdominal diseases, and summarized the basic syndromes of "five excess" and "five deficiency" in the Collection of Collected Works of Yu Su.

The basic principle of treating deficiency and excess is "actually diarrhea, deficiency is tonic" ... don't ask the disease, wait for the first phase "(three parts and nine paragraphs). The idea of distinguishing the rise and fall of evil has been guiding the clinical treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. Later generations created many corresponding prescriptions according to this principle, which greatly improved the effect of clinical treatment.
