Key Tips * “Harmony with Art and Numbers” comes from the classic quotation of health care in the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine. *The guideline for health care and disease treatment is “the law of yin and yang”, and the method is “harmony with art and numbers”, which means “avoiding harm by tending to profit”. Health and longevity are eternal topics for human beings, and among the many health care classics that I have read, none of them can compare to the clear discussion and insightful questions and answers on health care in the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine. Revisiting it again today still has a distinct sense of the times. S emperor said: Yu the ancient people, spring and autumn are degree hundred q, and young tartar phoenixィ call r of people, half a hundred years and young falcon transport フ撸r world, people (6) е heard that people in ancient times, can live a hundred years of spring and autumn and movement flexibility does not diminish; now people, more than half a hundred years old will have difficulty moving, is the world of heaven and earth has changed, or people’s way of life method of failure? The sun is still the same sun, the moon is still the same moon, heaven and earth have not changed. It can be said with certainty that “half a hundred years and decline” is caused by personal mistakes and errors. Qibo said “the ancient people, who know, the law in, and in the g burden chips have, living in a normal, not delusional mound vow benzyl heard c gods, and MK its heavenly years, degree hundred q is to go.” This text, comprehensive, accurate and incisive description of health care, treatment of disease, the implementation of the law, is “law in the yin and Yang”; the implementation of the method is “and in the arts and figures”. To “harmonize with the arts and figures” means to avoid various factors that are unfavorable to health and to actively create various factors that are favorable to health care and disease treatment. In plain English, it means “avoiding harm by tending to profit”. 1, the law in the yin and Yang (1) today when it comes to “yin and Yang”, seems to feel unscientific. In fact, with modern medicine to explain, we will feel justified. For human body function, simply put, the so-called “Yang” means hyperfunction. For example, hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperthyroidism, hyperkalemia, intestinal spasm ……. The “yin” is the corresponding decrease in function, hypotension, hypoglycemia, hypokalemia, hypokalemia, intestinal paralysis ……. In fact, doctors see patients every day, the purpose is to keep the body’s physiological indicators within the dynamic balance, in essence, is to regulate the body’s “yin and yang balance. (2) The core point of the whole “Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine” is to explain the balance of yin and yang. Simply put, it is to obey and comply with the laws of nature’s yin and yang changes; to pursue the “balance of yin and yang” in the body. The normal physiological activity of the human body is to maintain a harmonious relationship between the yin and yang aspects of the body, and to achieve a dynamic relative balance. If the body’s yin and yang can maintain this coordinated balance, the human body can be healthy. On the contrary, the balance of yin and yang is broken, and the prevalence or decline of yin and yang is the intrinsic cause of disease occurrence, development and change. To treat disease is to correct the imbalance of yin and yang, to make up for its deficiencies and to remove its excesses, and to restore the relative balance of yin and yang. (1) The term “art” has a broad and narrow meaning. 1. In the broad sense of “arts and numbers”, ‘arts’ refers to the formula, ‘numbers’ refers to the number of qi. That is, to observe the phenomena that can be noticed in the natural world by all kinds of magic, to speculate on the qi and fate of people and countries. Therefore, the broad sense of “jutsu” is to inquire into the time of heaven and man, to explore the great principles of the universe and life that must be changed, changed and unchanged; to understand the changes of the past and the present, and to clarify the great laws of life that know change, adapt and change. 2. The narrow sense of “arts and figures” is the meaning of “many” methods and techniques. In the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, there are a lot of health care techniques, which can be summarized as the word “harmony”, and there are a lot of descriptions of the word “harmony” in the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine. The most important word in “harmony with the arts” is the word “harmony”, which on the surface seems to be “harmony” with the arts, but in fact contains the basic concepts of the theoretical system of Chinese medicine. The four characters “和” are apparently “harmony” with the art and numbers, but in fact they contain the basic concepts of the theoretical system of Chinese medicine: the concept of the whole body and the theory of evidence. (2) The holistic concept of “harmony with the arts and mathematics” 1. The holistic concept of “harmony” between man and nature Nature has nurtured us, and man is part of nature. We have to protect the natural environment that we depend on for survival, and man cannot win over nature, but can only follow nature. The current national measures to “protect nature and ecological balance” are concrete manifestations of this. Atmospheric pollution, greenhouse effect, etc. are the products of the discord between human beings and nature. The development of modern technology has greatly changed the living environment and living habits of people, but it is a two-way influence on human health. The advanced modern science and medicine are the guarantee that we are better able to overcome diseases. However, not to mention environmental pollution, the “light pollution and noise” brought about by modern life due to high technology also seriously affects people’s health and is known as the modern plague. Applying the “five elements theory” of Chinese medicine, modern scientific and technological achievements are creatively integrated into the five elements music (five sounds) and five colors, five tastes, and many other methods beneficial to health. “This is also the central idea of this book, which is to maintain the health of the human body, delay the aging process, and overcome diseases. 2. The overall concept of “harmony” between human beings and society. People cannot live apart from society, living in a complex social environment, human life activities are bound to be affected by the social environment. The social environment includes political, economic, marital, interpersonal relationships and other factors, which often make people depressed, even nervous, fear, thus affecting physical and mental health. Currently, society is in transition, people are restless, anxious about this aspect of the performance is particularly prominent. Therefore, we usually do not look at this also, that also feel bad, with these bad things, do not intention to “gas”, to do with our own actions that we think is right, this is the right. To look at different things with a peaceful mind, to learn to change themselves to adapt to the development of society. 3. The overall concept of “harmony” between people. People live in a group and inevitably have to deal with others. Everyone’s character and personality are different, do not always want to change the personality and views of others, more calm and think about others. Even if there are people you do not like, “can not afford to avoid”. Or at least you can also admonish yourself “I can not punish myself with the mistakes of others. Confucius said “the gentleman and different, the little man with the same and not.” The gentleman and his surrounding people can maintain a harmonious and cordial relationship, but he must treat everything after their own independent thinking, not “people follow the clouds” blindly, so that the handling of people is “and”. On the contrary, the villain does not have his own independent opinion, not to speak of principle “people and clouds”, and others can not maintain a cordial relationship. 4. The overall concept of “harmony” between people and their hearts. It means the harmony of self-mindedness. People should not always take their own shortcomings than the strengths of others and their own fault. Business success and timing, location, people and factors that can not be controlled, not successful people should not give up on themselves, blame God. The imbalance of the inner heart will make the internal organs function out of balance and sick. This point has been discussed and repeatedly emphasized in classical Chinese medical literature, saying that all diseases are caused by mood is a bit exaggerated, while a good mood can indeed cure various diseases. There is nothing wrong with pursuing, but we must correctly estimate our own ability and use it wisely. This capacity includes physical and mental capacity. For us, the mental capacity is more difficult to self-grasp than the physical capacity, because everyone basically knows their own physical capacity. For example, how fast they can run, can lift heavy objects; while the mental capacity is not everyone can grasp the accurate, especially the long-term chronic pressure on the psychological variety, will unknowingly affect our body, once found more irreversible damage. In short, do anything beyond their physical and mental capacity, a short period of time will damage health, a long time so will make people sick. Many so-called psychosomatic diseases are closely related to a person’s usual mental state. Although there are many reasons for the occurrence of hypertension, diabetes and various tumor diseases, it is now clear that they have a close relationship with the human mind. Although most of these diseases occur unknowingly, but from their own psychological aspects of the review and retrospective, can always find the shadow of psychological or mental deviation, it is like a train off-ramp is slowly deviated, and when we are found in the medical examination, often is already formed irreversible fixed pathological pattern, that is, must be lifelong medication to combat it. Hypertension and diabetes are such diseases. The pursuit of health of the organism (biomedicine), mood (psychomedicine) and adaptation to social development (social medicine) is our common goal. Music is very good at regulating one’s mood, and colors can change one’s mood. The unique five sounds and colors of Chinese medicine for health and wellness introduced in this book look easy to understand and easy to do, but it is not easy to really implement them into the daily and ordinary for a long time. Some people often understand the importance of health only when they lose it; they know the value of life only when they are about to lose it. (3) Discernment of “Harmony in Art and Numbers” When you first see the title of the book “Harmony in Art and Numbers”, many people have a strange feeling. The first thing to do is to live a healthy lifestyle: “Eat and drink in moderation, get up and live in moderation, and do not make delusions of labor. Always pay attention to their own living environment and hobbies and other methods, learn to “fight and avoid” this is “and”; do not use a single method to health care, this is “number”. In the case of hypertension, for example, the lifelong consumption of antihypertensive medication is a helpless solution; the “and in the number of techniques” is the “bottom of the barrel”, which is the future prevention and treatment of hypertension. The direction of the future research on hypertension. The “and in the art” of prevention and treatment of hypertension has two layers of meaning. One of them is to avoid, in our daily life, to avoid the unfavorable factors to hypertension, in the “five tastes” to eat to limit salt; avoid the “five colors” in the red; less listening to the “five sounds” in the “levitation”. In the “five tones” of “levelling” music and so on. Second, to actively create favorable factors to lower blood pressure, “five tastes” to more acidic food; “five colors” in the green, blue can relieve stress, lower blood pressure; listen to “five tones” in the “horn tune” and “feather tune” more The “five tones” of “horn and feather” music. Hypertension patients eat antihypertensive drugs, each one can make high blood pressure lower 10C20 mmHg. that is, if the blood pressure is 40mmHg above normal, you may need to take two tablets or two drugs to control blood pressure. That said, if you don’t change and avoid the factors that cause your blood pressure to rise, relying on antihypertensive drugs is just “raising the soup to stop the boil”. In addition to the above, obesity and weight loss, smoking and alcohol cessation can directly reduce the amount of blood pressure medication. Although the use of interventions to lower blood pressure can not get rid of antihypertensive drugs, but can reduce the types of drugs, reduce the amount of drugs, each piece of drug reduction is of great significance to their own health. For the treatment of other diseases is also the same, “strive and avoid” the purpose is to seek the relevant disease “and”. 3, the original interpretation: (1) “The ancient people, who know,” simply translated into vernacular means: the ancient times can understand the way of health. Tao: is the objective law of the universe, this law is not transferred by the will of man. (2) “Eat and drink with restraint” means that there should be restraint and rhythm in eating and drinking. First, there is moderation, that is, we should pay attention to the total energy intake of daily meals. In the past 50 or 60 years ago, the prevention of “disease from the mouth” mostly refers to eating unhygienic food suffering from gastrointestinal infectious diseases. Now it is more important to emphasize “disease from the mouth”, because excessive and unreasonable diet will make people suffer from the so-called “three high (high blood pressure, high blood lipid, high blood sugar) rich disease”. Second, there is a rhythm that requires three meals a day to be regular and quantitative. Frequent late night snacking and love of snacking are not good for health. (3) “Live a regular life” “work at sunrise; rest at sunset” is to tell people to have a regular daily work and play, do not stay up late to play, sleep not to “reverse black and white”. The “sunrise and work; sunset and rest” is to tell people to have a regular daily work and entertainment, not to stay up late for entertainment, and not to “reverse the black and white”. From a medical point of view, simply put, the daytime and nighttime endocrine hormones are different, long-term “black and white” life, will inevitably cause disruption of the biological clock, endocrine disorders and lead to the occurrence of disease. (4) “Do not make delusional labor” Chinese medicine has long had insightful discussions on the damage caused to the human body by various kinds of excesses in the course of people’s daily life and work activities. Su Wen. Xuanming five qi chapter, “long vision hurts blood, long lying hurts qi, long sitting hurts flesh, long standing hurts bone, long walking hurts tendons, this is called five labor injuries”. Advocate “aerobic exercise”. Reasonable exercise to pay attention to the word “degree”, which is a variable degree, determined by the physical condition of each person at the time. In a word: exercise to not let people feel fatigue as the degree. 20 minutes of aerobic exercise activity every day, so exercise for two weeks, your physical quality will have a significant improvement. The so-called “aerobic exercise” is the exercise is only slightly faster heart rate, not shortness of breath. After exercise does not feel muscle pain, a slight sense of fatigue, rest can recover. (5) Therefore, it is possible to be in shape and in spirit, and to end its natural life, and to be 100 years old before leaving. The “form and the spirit are in harmony”, the function of our internal organs and the performance of the external activities of the body and age. It means that in our lifetime, “our backs are not hunched, our eyes are not dazzled, our ears are not deaf, we can move freely, we can think clearly, we are not confused in our old age, and we can live happily every day.” According to various modern methods, it is estimated that the average life expectancy of human beings should be over 120 years. The degree of 100 years old before passing away, this is the health goal that each of us pursues. And the next sentence in the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, which immediately follows, has even more practical significance that makes us think deeply. “Now r of people otherwise also, to wine {, to delusion mallet # ram uniform edicts jun sundry smack yard na (2)湔妫恢M, not rR God, zhan sootchu mode transmutation admonition penalty pidgeon o, so half a hundred and decline also.” I hope that you will read it several times, carefully understand it, and understand it slowly, taking into account your own experience.
