The statement of secular desire originated from Confucianism, and the interpretation of the seven emotions in the Book of Rites refers to: joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil and desire. The six desires originated from Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals originally refer to the desires born of life, death, ears, eyes, mouth and nose. Later, in more detail, it is the desire and desire to see, hear, smell, taste and touch (the last point is the desire in thought).

Later, Buddhism was introduced to China. In order to spread it better, many traditional cultures have been changed, along with their own teachings and Buddhist understanding. The seven emotions of Buddhism refer to joy, anger, worry, fear, love, hate and lust. In Buddhism, the six desires refer to lust, appearance, dignity and posture, speech and sound, smoothness and desire, and human desire.

Secular desires originate from human's most instinctive emotions, and seven emotions are the most basic emotions. But I still think that the explanation of the six desires in Lv Chunqiu is the most appropriate, and desire is also regarded as the primitive instinct of human beings. Buddhism's interpretation of six desires is based on religious teachings, while Lv Chunqiu's interpretation of six desires is based on people's original desires.

Secular desires, which we often hear, are very familiar to almost everyone. So where did this culture come from? What is worldly desires?

The so-called seven emotions, namely joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil and lust, come from Buddhism. Six desires originated from Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals. It was not clear at that time what the six desires were. Later, it was summarized as "life and death, ears, eyes, mouth and nose", which was used to refer to people's various desires.

In fact, the seven emotions were first mentioned in The Book of Rites, but the ancients in China only mentioned four kinds, namely, "happiness, anger, sadness and joy", which is the most frequently heard version, and the latter is caused by the previous four emotions, sometimes because they are not available, sometimes because they are happy, and sometimes because they are lost.

Secular desires used to say that human nature is the most appropriate, but people's hearts are complex and human nature cannot be explored. Perhaps this is the view of the ancients.

The so-called "secular desire" is called "seven emotions" in Chinese medicine, including joy, anger, worry, thinking, sadness, fear and surprise.

Six desires come from Lv Chunqiu, which originally refers to the desires arising from "life, death, ears, eyes, mouth and nose", and later they are more detailed: seeing desire (vision), hearing desire (hearing), fragrance desire (smell), taste desire (taste), touch desire (touch) and desire.

As the saying goes: "colorful, people have secular desires." Secular desires have a great influence on our behavior. Because each of us has feelings, and our feelings all come from this world. Therefore, our smiles, words and deeds are closely related to our "secular desires".

Now let me briefly explain the influence of the so-called "seven emotions" on people:

"Seven emotions", that is, seven emotions that often appear in our daily life, are also normal phenomena in our life activities. For example, if you meet something happy, you will be happy and like it; When something bad happens, you will be angry, sad or angry. But there is a saying that "anger hurts the liver" and "happiness hurts the liver", that is, excessive emotions will hurt the viscera. This leads to the occurrence of diseases, which is what Chinese medicine calls "internal injuries and seven emotions".

Therefore, the "seven emotions" are closely related to the functional activities of the internal organs. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that all kinds of excessive emotions are harmful to the body: anger hurts the liver, likes to hurt the spleen, grieves the lungs, and fears to hurt the kidneys.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the seven emotions are dominated by the five internal organs, which is related to the physiological and pathological changes of the five internal organs. Caution and anger will affect the function of viscera. Once the emotional excitement is excessive, under the sudden, intense or long-term emotional stimulation, the function of qi and blood of zang-fu organs will be disordered, leading to yin-yang imbalance and stagnation of qi and blood, which will lead to various diseases of the body. For example, happiness is the heart, anger is the liver, thinking is the spleen, sadness is the lung, and fear is the kidney. Therefore, the fluctuation of seven emotions can affect the balance and operation of Yin, Yang, Qi and blood, and too extreme emotions are the hidden weapons that harm the body.

Therefore, a person must learn to manage his emotions, control the occurrence of bad emotions, learn to adjust emotions, and make his emotions balanced and peaceful in order to have a happy life.
