What is the philosophy of TCM health care?

Instead of quoting the scriptures, we will summarize the records related to health culture in the literature of the past generations, which is actually the concept of “three views”. That is, the natural view of “Heaven and man correspond to each other”, the individual view of “identifying the body and nourishing it”, and the balanced view of “Yin and Yang”. Under the influence of these three concepts, ancient medical practitioners gradually created and perfected a set of Chinese health care theories in their long-term health care practice. For example, the theory of “nourishing yang in spring and summer, and nourishing yin in autumn and winter”, the theory of “nourishing in accordance with the times”, the theory of day and night regulation, the theory of “preventing diseases before they occur, preventing changes after they occur, and preventing recurrence after recovering from disease”, and the theory of “treating diseases before they occur”. The theory of “the top worker treats the undiseased”; the theory of “five grains for nourishment, five fruits for help, five animals for benefit, five vegetables for enrichment, and the harmony of smells and serving”; the theory of “tranquility and emptiness, the true qi follows it, the spirit is guarded within, and the disease is safe. The theory of “tranquility and emptiness, the true qi is followed, the spirit is guarded internally, and the disease is safe from the origin”; the theory of movement and stillness, the theory of movement and stillness, and the modern theory of “physical classification”. It has formed a comprehensive and systematic theoretical system covering people’s life, diet, spirit and exercise. Under the guidance of TCM health theory, there are rules for people to follow in their health practice. In terms of living, the four seasons follow the natural rules of spring, summer, autumn and winter. For example, it is advisable to go to bed early and get up early in spring, sleep late and get up early in summer, sleep early and get up early in autumn, and sleep early and get up late in winter. Day and night to follow the law of the twelve hours of the internal organs and meridians function, to maintain a “sleep at the time of the son, nap at noon” good habits of life. For example: Chinese people have the habit of “dancing with the rooster”, most of them like to exercise in the morning. But in winter before the dawn (5 to 7 o’clock) should not go to the outdoor exercise. This is especially true in the city in winter or at the turn of winter and spring. The innovative highlight of this Shanghai Expo is the Best Urban Practice Area case, which shows the interpretation of low-carbon urban life. But at the moment we can’t do it. With low temperatures in winter mornings, the exhaust from city sewers, industrial sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, heavy metal particles, lead exhaust from cars, etc. are still deposited on the ground and do not rise to the sky. Especially in the cold wave weather, 8, 9 a.m., before the surface temperature is lower than the temperature of the atmosphere in the sky, the atmosphere stopped convection up and down, there is a meteorological “temperature inverse increase” phenomenon. Only after 9 o’clock, the ground temperature gradually rise, the atmosphere began to convection, the pollution of the air to the high altitude diffusion, the ground air becomes clean, can begin to exercise. Many people do not understand the reason, blindly wake up early, always in the exhaust air exercise, the result is that the more exercise the more harmful to the body, often prone to dizziness, weakness, cough and other symptoms. This is a reflection of the “natural concept”. In terms of diet, for Yang deficiency people should eat sweet warm and beneficial products, Yin deficiency people often eat food to nourish Yin, phlegm and damp people to sweet and flat permeate damp diet, damp-heat people are inclined to eat sweet and cool diet, etc., is under the guidance of the physical health theory, identify the body to apply nutrition, reflecting the “personalized” concept; in terms of spiritual “The theory of “joy, anger, sadness, thought, grief, fear and fright” is that the seven emotions are more harmful to the organs, such as: joy hurts the heart, anger hurts the liver, thought hurts the spleen, grief hurts the lungs and fear hurts the kidneys. By “regulating the mind through the scenery”, “harmonizing blood and calming the mind”, “moving the mind through exercise”, “nourishing the mind in accordance with the times”, “reading books to relax the mind”, “respecting work to gather the mind” and other emotional and mental regimen, it fully reflects the importance that TCM health care attaches to. This fully reflects the importance that TCM health care attaches to psychological adjustment and the nurturing of both body and mind, and is a good reflection of the concept of “balance”. In terms of exercise and health care, according to each person’s different physique and physical condition, choose to move and nourish or quietly nourish. According to Chinese medicine, the more you move, the better, but “the more you move, the better. This is in line with the four cornerstones of health proposed by the World Health Organization in the Victoria Declaration, namely: reasonable diet, moderate exercise, abstaining from smoking and limiting alcohol, and psychological balance. The concept of “appropriate amount of exercise” is consistent with the “mutual connotation of movement and static” in Chinese medicine. It embodies a “balance concept”. This shows that the unique “three views” of Chinese medicine is the “outline” of the concept of health care, and only when the outline is raised can the eye be opened. Especially the “outline” of personalized health care in Chinese medicine, people mastered this “outline”, in the practice of health care will know why “Zhang San can eat more fruit, but I am Yang deficiency, I am not suitable I am not suitable for it”; why “Li Si can comfortably do warm moxibustion therapy often, but I can’t because I have a Yin deficiency constitution”; why people who love chili peppers should eat less in autumn; why people who like to exercise in the morning should not go outdoors before the dawn (5-7 o’clock) in winter; why girls born in Shanghai have beautiful skin, but when they go to the southwest, they should not go outdoors. The skin is beautiful, but after working in the southwest or the Central Plains, you need to often go to do beauty skin care, a side of the water and soil to raise a side of the people. These “personalized” health care concepts, which are based on different physiques, different seasons, different times and different regions, are the distinctive features of TCM health care, and are the most contemporary of the “three views” of TCM health care, which is the reason why TCM health care This is the reason for the unique and powerful vitality of TCM health care. If these ideas can be firmly in the hands of the people, they will not be confused by the fallacy of the so-called “one catty of mung beans a day”, and can correctly guide the people’s health practice. In this way, Chinese health care can truly become the main body of modern self-care.
