“Pain”, what is his main cause? How to solve it? This is a very complicated question, but in fact it is also very simple. The ancients created the word “pain” in a very wonderful way. It is a winter, winter is winter, winter is cold, then what is the shape of winter? Therefore, this character for winter tells us that pain has a decisive relationship with cold and water. Without cold and without water, there would be no pain. He has told us the main cause of pain. Going back to the Su Wen’s treatise on pain, there are fourteen types of pain, thirteen of which are related to cold. Only one is caused by heat. Why are all the ten or so pains cited in the treatise on pain related to cold? Why are there fourteen pains instead of thirteen? Why did you create such a word? This brings us to the question of art and numbers. It is said in “Zuo Zhuan” that “things are born with images, and images are born with numbers”. 14 is actually a 6, because there is a rule in the Zhou Yi, it is with 8, more than 8 to subtract 8, the rest is 6, 6 is the number of Kan, is the number of water in the north, is the number of cold. So all aspects of pain theory are connected to this cold. Think about it, is it a coincidence? There is something very deep to study here. Then look at this pain, what is in the word pain? It is a canon, canon is the ancient road. So the word for transportation is the word for canal plus the word for walking. What does it mean if the word “yong” is added to the word “sick”? It means that the channel has lost its function, the channel is not working. You see, the ancient people’s word-making is really amazing. Just a word for pain, we people know that if it does not pass, it hurts, and if it hurts, it does not pass. In fact, this character tells you the connotation of pain. So what does not work in the human body? The veins are not working, the blood vessels are not working. And who is the master of blood in the human body? The heart is the master of the blood vessels. So it comes back to the 19 disease mechanisms. The 19 disease mechanisms say that all pains belong to the heart! We have talked about it in this way. We know that pain has a Jedi relationship with the heart and kidneys, that is, a decisive relationship with the north and south. This cause is in the north, that is, cold, that is, the meaning of the pain, cold and water, and finally to where? It materializes in the heart, and this gives rise to pain. Therefore, to solve the problem of pain, we must start from these two aspects. Of course, Chinese medicine needs research in all aspects, but I think Chinese medicine should start research in this area, because such research, we can directly cut into the treatment, cut into the rational understanding, the rational understanding is improved, your healing effect will certainly improve a level. The ancients said that the matter and the reason are not two, in the reason side, you go up to that position, the corresponding matter, will also rise to that position. So why are the veins not working? Because of the cold. Because of water, as we all know, the cold is the main attraction, he will directly affect the smooth flow of the chakra. But on the other hand, why does he have such a close relationship with the heart? Because the heart is the sun in Yang, is the sun, the sun shines in the sky, the gloom will be dispersed ah! If the heart’s yang is sufficient, cold water will not work, and this comes down to the problem of yang not working. So the pain is not difficult to solve, in fact it is not complicated, after having such an understanding in theory, we will find a way to solve it. So one of the very main medicines for treating internal rheumatism is something like epilobium and wutou. What is their nature? Hot nature, he then directly breaks the cold and water, so this cause of pain can be broken. In addition, in the case of Radix Aconiti, it has a strong warming and supporting effect on Yang, which in turn solves the problem of the heart, so it is a very major drug for rheumatoid. Of course, there are many other medicines, but they are not far from this idea. That is to say, such a thought, a theory, once established, the pain is not solved, and you will not get it blind. There is also a way to solve it. There is also a matter of dysfunction, such as rheumatoid very important feature is morning stiffness, which is dysfunction. How is it caused? Where is a very important function of our body to be implemented? Implementation to the tendons. Why is there a problem with the tendons? This question can still be returned to the “Nei Jing”, we are familiar with the phrase: “Yang Qi, essence is to nourish the spirit, meat is to nourish the tendons”, which translates to “Yang Qi in the state of essence, he will be able to nourish the essence, if in a soft state, he will be able to nourish the spirit. ” What kind of state is Yang Qi in the state of essence? Zhijiu needs us to study, and this study still has to go back to the classics. There are many references to the issue of essence in Suwen, for example, “Suwen. Six all hide the elephant theory: ‘the kidney, the main dormant, Feng Zang of the original, the essence of the place also. My disciple Liu Lihong also talked about this issue in “Thinking about Chinese Medicine”. This state of Feng Zang is called essence. If you are in the state of hiding, you can nourish your spirit. The most typical state of Yang Qi in the state of hiding is sleep. We can feel that if we sleep well, we are very energetic, and if we don’t sleep well, we are tired, weak, and why is that so? Now sleep is a big problem, there are international sleep associations? In fact, the use of Chinese medicine, everywhere. The further forward the times go, the more extensive the use will be. In the past, people did not have so many sleep problems, they worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. Not so much thought. Now people are different, stocks, business, work, prospects to consider too much, how can not insomnia ah! So, many modern diseases can be found in the classics. This is the strength of Chinese medicine, where Chinese medicine has made a name for itself. Next, “softness is nourishing tendons”, ah na qi in a soft state, you can nourish tendons, then the soft state and what is? In the book, it says: “Wood is said to be straight and curved” What is straight and curved? The state of movement, that is, Yang Qi is in a soft state, he can nourish tendons. Tai Chi moves and produces yang, static and produces yin, where yang energy is static and nourishes the spirit, moving and nourishes the tendons. The quiet speaks of autumn and winter collection, a process that nourishes the soul, and the east speaks of spring and summer growth, a process that nourishes the tendons. If this domestic production is hindered and hurt, the tendons cannot be nourished, which will directly bring about unfavorable stretching and restricted movement, which again comes down to Yang Qi, which is still a Yang Qi problem. The dysfunction caused by the loss of yang energy is well documented. The reason for this dysfunction is a problem with the soft state of Yang Qi, so how do you restore such a birth and development?
