The mystery of the word “sick”

  The ancients were so wise in creating words, and there is no more meaningful way to create words than to create meaningful words. The word “disease” has a deep meaning, and if you understand it, you will have an additional perspective on the understanding of disease.  The word “disease” is separated into “疒” and “丙”, and according to the heavenly stems and the five elements, C is the heart fire, which means that the heart is sick is sick. I think it is the external cause of “disease”, that is, the six qi “wind, cold, heat, humidity, dryness and fire” on the human body (or also include traumatic factors). I think it is an external cause of “disease”, that is, the six qi “wind, cold, summer, dampness, dryness and fire” damage to the human body (or also include trauma). But why did the ancients say “cure” instead of “disease”? This is certainly not a customary practice, but a secret to cure the disease, or a secret to cure the disease.  That is, the word “disease” is “C heart fire”, that is, to cure disease, we must first treat the heart, which is the main cause of disease. This “heart” is different from the “heart” in Western medicine, the center of the “Nei Jing” is the sovereign’s official, the master of blood, the master of the gods; “the master is unknown, then the twelve officials are in danger. Therefore, to treat the heart, we have to treat the gods; the superior worker can look at the gods to know the disease, and know the state of the heart from the patient’s state of mind, mental outlook, and emotions, and if the heart is cured, the disease will be half cured, which is equivalent to the current psychotherapy.  Imagine, if a person is depressed, depressed, sentimental, certainly have an impact on the recovery of the disease. Such as “Dream of the Red Chamber” in the Lin Daiyu, depressed all day how not to get sick. Because, although a person is a seven-foot body, is a fusion of Qi and blood, that is, people are a Qi movement of life, then the above mood is bound to affect the flow of Qi circulation.  The Neijing has evidence: fear hurts the kidneys, happiness hurts the heart, anger hurts the liver, sadness hurts the lungs, and thinking hurts the spleen. At a large level, these emotions are the scope of the heart, the content of the heart and mind, the treatment of the heart is to regulate people’s emotions and mind, so that they are balanced, so that the qi and blood can be balanced, so that “the righteousness of the qi is stored within, the evil can not dry”, that is, the meaning of “to hustle the outside must first be safe inside”.  This is the same as the spirit of “sometimes to cure, often to help, always to comfort” advocated by Western psychotherapy.  I’m afraid that following the heart of the disease, from the source of the heart to cure the disease is the fundamental method of healing! The ancients had good intentions to create words, today’s people are far less!
