The idea of keeping in good health in TCM has a long history. It is a treasure of China traditional culture and has made great contributions to the prosperity of the Chinese nation. The idea of TCM health preservation was formed and developed under the background of China traditional culture. After the baptism and edification of traditional culture, it has formed its own unique theoretical system, which contains rich ethical thoughts.

1 Ethical implications of TCM health preservation

1. 1 What is the connotation of TCM health preservation? Healthy? , refers to life, survival and growth; The so-called maintenance means maintenance, recuperation and nourishing. The word health preservation comes from Guanzi, which means to maintain life in order to achieve longevity. Health preservation is to emphasize the harmony between man and nature, pay attention to the changes of the four seasons, maintain the balance of yin and yang, and achieve the purpose of nourishing vitality, strengthening the spirit and prolonging life, so as to eliminate diseases in the bud and achieve? Nip in the bud? Field.

Health preservation is for personal health and longevity, but health and longevity is never just a matter of the human body itself, nor is it simply a matter of how much protein you consume every day. In other words, health care can not be limited to the biological model of the human body, it can not be separated from external objective conditions.

As early as more than 2,000 years ago, China's health theory recognized that the natural environment has a very close relationship with health and longevity. For example, Lu discussed the relationship between water quality and health in Chunqiu. How much light water and bald heads are scary, and how much heavy water? With what? Man, how beautiful sweet water is, how gangrene and acne fresh water is, and how bitter bitter water is? With other people. ? [1] Huangdi's Neijing suggested that geographical environment is inextricably linked with health and longevity, and beautiful environment and suitable soil and water are beneficial to people's health and longevity.

The sages of China also realized that health and longevity are closely related to congenital inheritance. Those born strong live longer, and those born weak live longer. ? [2] It should be pointed out that China's regimen, as an ancient discipline with strong vitality, pays attention to the role of objective factors in health and longevity, which is not its greatest feature. In fact, the focus of China's health-preserving theory is how to give full play to people's subjective initiative under the existing objective conditions, and achieve the health-preserving purpose of getting rid of diseases and prolonging life by saving and carefully using the energy of life. Zhang Jingyue Thought in Ming Dynasty? Those who cultivate the day after tomorrow live long, and those who cut the day after tomorrow will die? ,? The weak always know caution, but caution can conquer nature? . That is to say, on the one hand, the relationship between congenital inheritance and health is important, on the other hand, more attention is paid to people's subjective initiative? Raise? .

1.2 Features of TCM health preservation

Unlike modern western medicine, western medicine emphasizes? Fight disease? That is to say, the attitude of intervening in the human body by chemical methods, fighting against diseases and eliminating all evils is based on the premise that diseases have organic lesions. In fact, before the occurrence of organic diseases, the human body has already shown energy problems, followed by functional disorders. Modern medicine can't do anything about the problems before organic diseases, but what is the focus of TCM health preservation? Do you know that you are ill? And then what? Nip in the bud? It is characterized by adhering to the belief of conforming to nature, the attitude of harmonizing yin and yang, and the golden mean.

1.2. 1 conforms to the belief of nature.

Taoism believes that people who live in harmony with heaven live longer. Violating the nature of nature and life is the first enemy of people's health and longevity. "Lu Chunqiu? Self-esteem shines with the idea of conforming to nature, and life is always born of its nature. What makes life uncomfortable is human desire, so saints must first control their desires and make them moderate. When the house is big, there will be more yin; When the table is high, the yang will be strong.

Too much yin will make walking difficult. When the yang is strong, your muscles will atrophy and it will be difficult to move. This is a disease caused by improper yin and yang. Therefore, the ancient emperors did not live in big houses, did not build high platforms, did not require the richness and rarity of food, and did not require the clothes to be too thick and warm. If the clothes are too thick and warm, the pulse will be closed, and if the pulse is closed, the blood will be blocked. Rich diet, the stomach will be too full, the stomach will be too full, the chest and abdomen will be bloated, and the chest and abdomen will be stuffy and flatulent. It can be seen that the only way to achieve health and longevity is? Taoism is natural? , not? Go your own way? This is the way of human existence proved by the wisdom of thousands of years, and it is also the only correct way.

1.2.2 Harmony of Yin and Yang

According to the traditional culture of China, Yin and Yang are the two most basic relationships in the universe. Harmony between yin and yang is the basis of harmony of all things. If there is no harmony, nothing can be harmonious. So there is? Tao gives birth to one, two, three and everything. Everything is negative and positive, but also rushing to think that it is peace? [3], indicating that everything and personnel are based on the harmony of Yin and Yang. Therefore, the harmony between Yin and Yang is the fundamental way and an objective law. The theory of yin-yang harmony has influenced the health view of traditional Chinese medicine. If yin and yang are harmonious, it is healthy. ? Yin and yang are secrets, spirit is rules, yin and yang are separated, and essence is unique. ? [4] The primary condition for judging human health is to see whether Yin and Yang are in a relatively balanced and stable state. The balance of yin and yang is a harmonious state in which both sides are neither too old nor too weak in the process of growth and decline. This is a normal state of life. In Chinese medicine, all diseases can be regarded as disharmony between yin and yang, so the attitude towards diseases should be to reconcile yin and yang instead of? Fight disease? .

1.2.3 moderation: too much is too late.

Traditional Chinese medicine is the most complete and perfect embodiment of China traditional culture, and its outlook on life, health and treatment is the understanding and concretization of China culture. In a sense, China traditional culture is an ethical culture, and the golden mean is the core content and the most wonderful performance of China's traditional ethical thought.

Moderate opposition? Pass? And then what? Less than? Think? Nothing is good or evil, but it is a disaster. , because the extremes meet. Sima Qian in Historical Records? Shu Tian Zhuan pointed out that extremes meet, which is the way of the universe. Will you lose money when the moon is full? ,? When things are booming, they will decline? , is often heaven and earth. "Lu Chunqiu? "Look at yourself" once said: The ancestors of the former holy king built courtyards, corridors and gardens, so long as they can swim, they can look out and exercise; Build palaces and pavilions, as long as it can avoid dryness and humidity; Make clothes and fur for horses and chariots, as long as they can warm themselves up; Prepare food and wine slurry, as long as it can satisfy hunger; To create music and dance, as long as it can entertain and cultivate. ? The reason why they want this is not that they like frugality and hate extravagance and waste, but that they want to make proper adjustments to their bodies and minds. Not blindly indulging and surpassing everything is the highest realm of health care, and it is also the basic concept of health care.

2. Ethical orientation of TCM health preservation

2. 1 The idea of attaching importance to health is rooted in the Taoist idea of attaching importance to health, and only by attaching importance to health can health be preserved. Health care is that you have a cheap life, and you are born again to despise things. In other words, life itself is the most precious thing, which is more expensive than things other than life. In other words, one can't use life to acquire things other than the body, such as fame, wealth, morality and ideals. Because life is the most precious and valuable thing above all else, so? The dead Wang Le was a mouse? Yes If a person values life more than things, he will get the most precious and valuable thing: health and longevity, even if he loses all external things. If a person attaches great importance to things and is fit, he may lose his life even if he gets something outside his body. Who would want to die to change clothes and lose their heads to change crowns? "Lu Chunqiu? There is a cloud of self-esteem: What I have today is what I have and what is good for me. On its dignity, it is not enough to be compared with the title of the son of heaven; On its weight, it is rich in the world and cannot be easily changed; As far as its security is concerned, once it is lost, it will be lost for life. ? So? A saint cares more about the world than life. ? [5]

Sun Simiao, a great doctor in Sui and Tang Dynasties, wrote Thousand Women and Thousand Women's Wings because he thought? Life is the most important thing, more expensive than 1000 yuan? . On the basis of your life, people will learn to keep fit. Health care includes two aspects, the first is the length of life, that is, how to prolong life. The second is to pursue the quality of life, that is, physical and mental health, live well and live wonderfully.

2.2 It goes without saying that economic development and technological progress bring comfort and convenience to human beings, but also bring diseases. In other words, economy and technology do not necessarily bring health and longevity. Everyone is a hundred years old. ? It means that people who know how to keep in good health can live a long and healthy life. One? Raise? Personality is not only a way of life, but also a way of life, and it is the most basic and ingenious key technology to achieve health and longevity.

China's traditional culture is an ethical culture in a sense, emphasizing self-cultivation and even putting? Learn the Tao? And then what? Healthy? As? A bunch of things? .

First of all, pay attention to moral cultivation. In China, both Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have emphasized the importance of moral cultivation to people's health since ancient times. In Confucius' view? Does benevolence lead to longevity? ,? Great virtue must have its life? . In Zhuangzi? Virtue is perfect, and God does not lose? Thought; Huangdi Neijing inherited the Taoist thought that people's health and longevity are related to morality. Sun Simiao is to carry forward this view, think? You can't prolong your life by eating the jade liquid elixir. .

Benevolence refers to a beautiful personality image of loving others and being charitable. ? The reason why benevolent people live long is because there is no greed outside, peace inside, and peace of mind without losing righteousness? [6]。 Confucianism is even released? Yang De? As? The foundation of health? . ? Those who are good at keeping in good health should give priority to morality and take aftercare as a supplement? .

Second, pay attention to nourishing the heart. What does Chinese medicine think the heart is? An official of the monarch? My heart is shaking. Pay attention to TCM health care? Pay attention to nourishing the heart? The core of nourishing the heart is to make the heart calm, clear the heart and lack desires, reduce all kinds of desires, and let qi and blood run according to normal rules. If the distractions are reborn and the mind is confused, it will consume a lot of energy; People who always keep a psychological balance have smooth internal organs, even qi and blood, and secret yin and yang, so they can live a long and healthy life. Peace of mind, health and longevity.

In today's world, interests are paramount. Should Mr. Taibai? Don't need a dollar to buy a cool breeze and bright moon? The realm of talent? Calm and nothingness, qi from it, mental internal defense, never get sick? [7]

Discussion on foot massage for TCM health preservation II

Foot massage: people's feet are close together like a sitting human body, and all tissues and organs have their corresponding anatomical parts, that is, reflection areas, on both feet. Using physical methods (such as fingers, massage tools, etc.) to press, press and scrape on the corresponding reflection areas of human feet can adjust the physiological functions of various organs of the human body, thus achieving the purposes of diagnosing diseases, treating diseases and self-care. This method is called foot massage. Foot massage is an important part of Chinese medicine and a valuable cultural heritage. With the development of society, foot massage has become a fashionable and popular way of keeping in good health and socializing. Proper foot massage can promote the expansion of blood capillaries in the foot, promote blood circulation, promote the elimination of toxic and harmful metabolites, and play a role in calming the nerves, relieving fatigue, relieving self-pain, self-help, enhancing immunity, prolonging life, and preventing and treating diseases.

Distribution of 1 foot reflex zone

1. 1 Symmetry If human organs are paired, then reflex zones exist in pairs on both feet, such as kidneys, ureters, lungs, eyes and ears.

1.2 Two feet of the whole human body are combined to form a complete holographic embryo. In addition to paired organs, there are some single organs in the human body. The organ reflex zone near the left side of human body is in the left foot, such as heart, spleen, descending colon and sigmoid colon. The organ reflex zone near the right side of human body is on the right foot, such as liver, gallbladder, cecum and ileocecal valve.

1.3 Specificity of some human organs, such as nose, trachea, larynx, stomach, pancreas, duodenum, bladder, etc. Are located in the middle of the human body, and the organs in these special positions are also symmetrical in the positioning of the reflection area. The cognition and understanding of the reflex zone of the foot should have a three-dimensional sense. For example, when the feet are close together, the shape is a sitting person, and the part close together is called the inside of the foot, which is the reflection area of the midline spine of the human body and the distribution area of the reflection area of the above organs. The outside of the foot is the reflex zone of the shoulder, elbow and knee.

2 theoretical basis of foot massage

2. 1 The meridian principle of traditional Chinese medicine can be traced back to Huangdi Neijing at the earliest? There is a record of foot massage in the article "Watching Toes". Chinese medicine believes that the internal organs and limbs of the human body are connected by the meridians on the feet. In the the twelve meridians connecting the human body, there are six points that start and end at the foot, and the foot is the beginning of three yin and the end of three yang, with more than 60 acupoints distributed. Massage, regulating Yang Can of Yin and Yang, dredging channels and collaterals, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, strengthening body resistance and eliminating pathogenic factors, receiving stimulation through acupoints and conducting along channels and collaterals are of great significance to the physiological functions of viscera.

2.2 The principle of biological holography Holography is a discipline developed in modern times. The object of study is the relationship between the whole and the parts. According to this theory, every local organ with independent function contains all the information of human body, so it is called holographic embryo. In the holographic embryo of the foot, there are features corresponding to human organs. When an organ of the human body changes, the reflex zone of the foot will respond first. In contrast, foot massage has greater advantages, because the foot, as a holographic embryo, has a high degree of development and is closest to the whole, while the foot is a terminal holographic embryo with rich neurovascular, sensitive feeling and dense information transmission paths, and the volume and area of the foot are larger than those of the hands, ears, nose and other organs, which is convenient for massage.

2.3 nerve reflex principle nerve reflex is a reaction of human body to external stimuli. When the tissues and organs of the human body are abnormal, the corresponding reflection area of the foot will appear bubble-shaped, sandy-grained, granular, bar-locked, small nodular and other changes. Massage these reflex zones will cause obvious pain. This kind of pain will be transmitted to the central nervous system along the afferent nerve, and then it will be regulated by the central nervous system, sending out new nerve impulses and transmitting them to the tissues and organs in the body, thus causing a series of neurohumoral regulation reactions, stimulating human potential and regulating the imbalance in the body.

Practice has proved that contact pressure and pain impulse from the foot reflex zone can form a new exciting focus. The intensity of emerging excited focus is higher than that of pathological excited focus, which makes pathological excited focus suppressed or even completely disappeared.

2.4 According to the circulation theory, the blood flow velocity of the foot is 12mm/ s, which can be increased twice after massage. Due to the rhythmic beating of the heart, blood circulates throughout the body and becomes an important channel for the transportation and exchange of substances inside and outside the body. When an organ of human body is abnormal or diseased, some metabolites harmful to human body will be deposited on the circulation channel. Because the foot is far away from the heart and the influence of gravity, these harmful substances are easily deposited on the foot, causing local skin tissue variation, such as skin discoloration, subcutaneous particles, induration and so on. By using foot massage, local circulation and blood flow can be promoted smoothly, and finally these deposits will be excreted through excretory organs such as kidneys, and the function of viscera will be restored.

3 Massage techniques, intensity and matters needing attention

3. 1 Massage techniques: thumb press, thumb push, thumb grip, forefinger fist, forefinger hook, forefinger pinch, double thumb grip, foot pat, double finger clip, etc.

3.2 The intensity of massage should be strong, even, gentle and lasting. Massage technique is heavy in diarrhea and light in tonic. Diarrhea from head to toe and vice versa. Clockwise for diarrhea, counterclockwise for tonic. Generally, there will be pain in the sensitive parts of massage. Refers to the pressure of 3-5 kilograms, and it must be based on the individual's ability to bear, and achieve the best effect within the maximum range that the individual can bear, from light to heavy, slowly and regularly.

3.3 Preventive measures

3.3. 1 Do not do foot massage 30 minutes before meals and after meals 1 hour.

3.3.2 Before and after foot massage, both the healer and the patient should drink 300-500ml warm water. Patients with severe heart disease and kidney disease, children and the elderly should not drink more than 150ml before and after massage.

3.3.3 Women should not do foot massage during pregnancy and menstrual period. However, when massaging irregular menstruation and dysmenorrhea, the intensity should be light.

3.3.4 Patients suffering from various infectious diseases, fresh or unhealed wounds on the feet, foot fractures, skin diseases on the feet (such as pustules and ulcers on the skin), hemorrhagic or bleeding-prone diseases (such as hematuria, hematemesis and hematochezia) or leukemia and thrombocytopenia. It is not advisable to do foot massage.

3.3.5 Patients receiving foot massage during taking medicine should not stop taking medicine.

3.3.6 Massage time for the elderly and children should be shortened appropriately. For patients with severe heart disease, nephropathy, diabetes and liver disease, the massage intensity should be light, and the foot massage should not exceed 10 minute.

3.3.7 Only qualified masseurs can provide foot massage for pregnant women and menstruating women.

3.3.8 Foot masseurs should wash their hands with hot water after operation.

4 conclusion

Foot massage has a long history in China. As early as Neijing, there were detailed records of foot meridian theory and foot massage. Moreover, this simple and safe health care method has been loved by people for thousands of years. In daily life, it is particularly important to keep the blood circulation of the foot unobstructed, which is the best way to keep the blood circulation of the foot unobstructed. Foot massage has the functions of nourishing root qi, dredging meridians and mediating nerves. By exerting pressure on the foot surface, it can also start the regulatory function of the body, stimulate the cell potential of various organs and enhance immunity. Through the application of the above theory and the summary of practice, foot massage is the necessary way and method to get a healthy life.
