Introduction: Wan quan, a famous herbalist in the Ming dynasty, was born in a family of the herbalist. He was taught by his teachers and gathered many leaders. He was proficient in the way of health maintenance. In his book Yang Sheng Si Yao(the four essentials of keeping in good health), he summarized his secret of keeping in good health in his whole life as follows: "less desire, be careful to move, follow time, away from ill." The theory of health preservation is simple, profound and original, which has important guiding significance to our daily health care.
✵Passionless
Wanquan believes that less desire is the first principle of health preservation, and the key to less desire is stoicism, which is not bad for the root, so as to protect the fundamental of the human body. Specifically, abstinence in sex and diet.
✵Less sex
It is one of the basic points of Chinese medicine to keep one's health. As the ancients said, "in a room, people can live without strangers and people can be disturbed, such as fire and water. If you can't use it, it will be dead." herbalist Wanquan believes that the appropriate sex life is the human body balance of Yin and Yang, the physiological needs of the offsprings, not absolutely abstinence, also can not indulge in excess.
✵Control diet
"If you are partial to your addiction, you will suffer from the diseases you are partial to. In the diet, he advocated not to be partial to addiction, because of acid injury to the liver, bitter hurt the heart, sweet injury to the spleen, spicy injury to the lung, salty injury to the kidney. He believed that a proper diet could nourish the viscera, muscles, and blood vessels. "The food in the mouth, the life of the body", "the grain, meat, vegetables, fruits, are made to human. Each has five Qi and five flavors, people eat it, first into the viscus, and then to maintain its blood and bones. Although food is the main source of Qi and blood, but the diet should also be moderate, one is not partial to the diet, the second is not excessive diet.
✵Slow-moving
The second key to health preservation is to be careful. Colloquially speaking is not excessive activities, but to "move and section." Wanquan believes that "thrifty as nourishing god, thrifty listen to raise empty, thrifty words to cultivate Qi, thrifty desire to nourish essence"."Those who are careful to move are those who keep their Chi(Qi) steady, and those who keep their Chi steady are not exhausted with their branches."
✵Cultivate mind and calm spirit.
The first premise to cultivate one's mind and calm one's spirit is to be cautious and prudent. According to the book Yang Sheng Si Yao(the four essentials of keeping in good health) volume ii, "those who are cautious in actions are respected and respected by our scholars. The mind should be quiet, the spirit should be stable, and the mind should be peaceful, so as not to be affected by the seven emotions. Fear of kidney injury, fear; The result of "thinking and hurting the spleen", and then to master certain methods of channels and collaterals of Qi, such as meditation, yoga, tai chi, etc., to regulate breathing to calm the mind.
✵No exhaustion:
The premise of the body but labor is to love the body, and the key is not too much labor, the fundamental is still quiet, but also pay attention to daily exercise. Herbalist Wanquan thinks the body, hair, and skin by the parents must cherish, "long seeing injury blood, long lying injury Qi, long sitting injury muscle, long-standing injury bone, long walk injury tendon", so the labor will not be too extreme or will damage the body. Wanquan also emphasizes that "the active people, more from the righteousness", only quiet can ensure the mind is not moving, avoid overwork.
✵Follow Time:
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that people should communicate with nature and follow time means that people should respect natural laws and follow natural changes. The ancient works said: "the Saint support the Yang in spring and summer, support the Yin in autumn and winter, to follow its root."
The characteristic of spring and summer is that Yang Qi rises and sends outward to extend, Yang Qi can conform to the Qi of spring and summer growth. The characteristic of autumn and winter is the convergence of Yang Qi. Nourish the body liquid to comply with the killing Qi of autumn and winter.
✵Away from disease:
Away from disease is preventing disease before it attacks and protects healthy Qi, disease prevention and to grasp the opportunity for treatment.
✵Prevention before the disease:
"Isn't it too late for a man to Pierce a well with thirst and cast a cone with a bucket?" Preventing diseases is more important than curing them. It is of great significance in daily health maintenance to protect Vital Qi and maintain the essence and spirit. Wanquan advocates pills to maintain essence spirit with gentle nature and taste, cold and cool, suitable for the adjustment of Yin and Yang, and slow clearing and replenishing power.
✵Prevent changes in disease:
The ancient works Nei Jing(the Inner Canon) said, "those who are good at treatment are good at fur, and those who are not good at treatment are good at the bone and marrow. Cover disease in the fur, it's evil is light, not injured, but can be punctured. When the disease came to the bone marrow, the evil came into the deep, and the health Qi came out." Wanquan also believes that the disease must be treated as soon as possible otherwise, "once the disease is serious, then seek treatment, so that the treatment is also difficult", therefore, "good health, should know five lost, do not know how to keep healthy is the first loss, not treat the disease early is the second lost, not choose a good herbalist is the third loss, like herbs with strong potency is the fourth loss, belive in witch instead of herbalist is the fifth loss.
