The ancient name of nourishing life is “Dao Sheng”, “nourishing sex”, “regimen”, “health”, etc., which means maintaining life. -The chapter of “Ben Shen” has “the wise man’s nourishing life”. It is a concentrated expression of the traditional preventive thinking of Chinese medicine, which is “not to cure the disease but to treat the disease before it happens” and the idea of pursuing longevity and health, which is “not to grow old but to prolong one’s life”. Professor He Qinghu is the main founder of the discipline system of TCM subhealth, and has accumulated a certain research foundation in the theory and practice of health care. Today, let us start the spring season of the four seasons of health care, and enjoy the profound and profound health care culture of TCM. The “Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine” believes that man is “born with the breath of heaven and earth and the law of the four seasons”, and that man and nature are a unified whole, that is, “heaven and man correspond to each other”. In order to live a long and healthy life, we should “follow the law of yin and yang” and follow the laws of natural changes, as stated in “Suwen – The Four Temperatures”: “The yin and yang of the four seasons is the root of all things. Therefore, the sage nurtures yang in spring and summer, and yin in autumn and winter, in order to follow their roots, so that everything floats and sinks in the door of growth… Therefore, the four seasons of yin and yang are the end and beginning of everything, and the essence of death and life, and if you go against them, you will have disasters, and if you follow them, you will not have severe diseases. In addition, “Ling Shu – Ben Shen”: “The wise man’s health must follow the four seasons and adapt to the cold and heat”, and “Qian Jin Yao Fang – Nurture” quoted Lie Zi’s saying: “The surplus and deficiency of one body are all connected to heaven and earth, and should be in accordance with the class of things”. It is emphasized that the human body must conform to the natural changes of the four seasons, strengthen the human body’s ability to adapt to nature, and that heaven and man correspond to each other to ensure a long and healthy life. “Spring is born, summer is long, autumn is harvested, and winter is hidden” is the eternal law of nature. “The plan of the year lies in the spring”, spring and March is the season when nature introduces new ideas and life sprouts. In their theory of adjustment to the natural changes of the four seasons, medical practitioners of all generations have paid particular attention to spring health, because spring health is the first of the four seasons, the opening must be done, otherwise it will affect the life activities throughout the year. The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine is one of the earliest surviving medical texts, which provides us with a rich theoretical basis for spring health care, including the collection of medical images, etiology and pathogenesis, diagnosis, identification, prevention and treatment, and regulation. For example, in Suwen – Four Qi and Tuning the Gods: “In March of spring, it is called the month of Fa Chen. The sky and the earth are all born, and everything is glorified. Sleep at night and get up early, walk widely in the court, and be hair to slow down the shape, so that the will is born, and do not kill, give and do not take, reward and do not punish. It can be said to be the source of the theory of spring health care in later generations, pointing out that in the spring season, people should take care of the human body from many aspects, such as life and living, exercise and fitness, spiritual conditioning, etc., with “life” as the center, otherwise there will be “injury to the liver, summer for the cold change, to serve the long less” and the “Suwen – four qi tune Shen Dazheng” in the “reverse spring, then the less Yang does not grow, liver qi internal change” change. It can be seen that the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine is an important source of the theory of health care in Chinese medicine. Since then, “The Thousand Gold Formula”, “The Compendium of the Materia Medica”, “The New Book of Shoujin for the Aged” and “The Treatise on Health Information” have elaborated on the springtime health care doctrine of “Huangdi Neijing”, forming the theoretical basis of springtime health care. The liver should respond to the spring energy, spring should be nourished liver Chinese medicine believes that “the liver is the master of spring”, that is, the liver, one of the five organs of the human body, is corresponding to the spring. Chinese medicine focuses on the five elements (gold, wood, water, fire and earth), and spring belongs to the wood of the five elements, while the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys of the five human organs correspond to the five elements, and the liver also belongs to wood. Secondly, the liver is most active in spring, because the warm climate of spring will make people’s activities increase day by day, prompting metabolism will also become increasingly vigorous, in the human body, both blood circulation, or nutrient supply, will be correspondingly accelerated, increased, in order to adapt to the needs of the body’s various life activities. If you can take care of your liver at this time, you can enhance your immune function and improve your health, as the saying goes, “If you keep your vital energy inside, evil cannot dry up”. In addition, from the pathogenesis point of view, in spring, everything revives, Yang Qi is born, and at this time the Yang Qi of the human body also begins to develop outwardly, and begins to impact the foci of disease in the body. Therefore, many people will feel bitterness in their mouths (bile overflowing), sore shoulders, migraine headaches, swelling and pain in the breasts and the two sides of the thighs, and pain in the hips and outer thighs somehow. If liver qi rises too much or if liver qi is stagnant, it will easily damage the liver, and in summer, the pathology of “spring injury to the wind, summer food drainage” will occur. The liver is an important organ of the human body, which has the function of regulating qi and blood, helping the spleen and stomach to digest food and absorb nutrients, as well as regulating emotions and regulating qi. Therefore, the proper nourishment of the liver in spring will bring a healthy and peaceful life throughout the year. In spring, we should follow the meaning of “Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine” of nourishing Yang, nourishing ascending and nourishing hair in spring, and be careful to do so, not only to follow the intention of ascending and regulating the liver, but also to prevent it from ascending too much and becoming other diseases. Food is the first, less acid and more sweet “medicine is better than food”, in the spring time to nourish the liver, dietary regimen into its inevitable. Generally speaking, in order to adapt to the characteristics of spring Yang Qi rise, in order to support Yang Qi, at this time, in the diet should follow the above principles, appropriate consumption of pungent warm food, such as: wheat, dates, black bean, peanuts, green onions, cilantro, etc., while cold and sticky things, should be eaten less, so as not to harm the spleen and stomach. Sun Simiao, a famous doctor of the Tang Dynasty, said: “In spring, it is advisable to save acid, increase the sweet, in order to nourish the spleen”. This means that when spring comes, people should eat less sour food and more sweet food, which has the benefit of nourishing the spleen and stomach of the body. The “Regimen News” also says: “When spring comes, it is advisable to eat less sour and more sweet to nourish the qi”. The Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach is the source of the body’s qi and blood transformation, the spleen and stomach of the vitality, people can prolong life. The sour taste enters the liver and has an astringent nature, which is not conducive to the development of Yang energy and the draining of liver qi, which is not sufficient to affect the transport and transformation function of the spleen and stomach. In addition, the five tastes into the five organs, such as sour taste into the liver, sweet taste into the spleen, salty taste into the kidneys, etc., if you eat more sour food, will strengthen the function of the liver, so that the already hyperactive liver qi more vigorous, so that can harm the spleen and stomach qi, as the so-called liver wood is not as good as the use of acid, but too much liver wood to grasp the spleen earth. The spleen and stomach, to prevent its weakness, just add sweet less acid, care for the spleen and stomach gas, so the sweet taste of jujube, yam is most suitable for spring consumption, Li Shizhen praised jujube “taste sweet flat, peace, nourish the spleen, flat stomach gas, through the nine orifices, to help the twelve meridians, supplement less gas, less fluid, body in the deficiency, the great alarm limbs heavy, and a hundred drugs. It is sweet and flat in nature and has the effect of strengthening the spleen and nourishing the liver, nourishing the lungs and benefiting the qi, tonifying the kidneys and fixing the essence. In addition, “Suwen – the law of the collection of qi time” said: “the liver is the main spring … liver bitter and urgent, urgent food sweet to slow down the … liver wants to disperse, urgent food pungent to disperse the, with pungent tonic, acid drainage”. It can be seen that the dietary regimen, the actual application, but also should be subject to the person’s deficiency; flexible mastery, collection and release of a heart, do not rigidly applied. Spring smooth liver qi, the spirit and ease of nourishment to regulate the spirit of the first important point, the gods of the form of peace. The “Spiritual Pivot – the year of the sky” said: “those who lose their spirit die, those who gain their spirit live”. This illustrates the degree of importance attached to the spirit. The so-called “regulation of the spirit” mainly refers to the regulation of the consciousness and emotions. Suwen – Yin and Yang should be like the great theory of the cloud: “for the inaction of the thing, enjoy the quiet energy, from the will fast desire in the void guard, so endless life, with the end of heaven and earth”. People are cautioned not to suffer from loss and gain, endless thoughts, to maintain a happy spirit, emotional optimism, to achieve the purpose of “spirit within the guard, the disease is safe from”. Spring is the season of occurrence, the human yang hidden in the winter, to the spring release, there will be no depression. Spring health care is important to regulate the mood and spirit to raise the Qi, in line with the characteristics of the spring “life”, to maintain a relaxed mood. The liver is a wood, and wood flourishes in spring. The liver is physiologically responsible for regulating the qi flow, so to nourish the liver in spring, we should follow the liver’s preference for regulating the qi flow but not depression, and at the same time prevent the change of too much ascension and development. As the liver likes to be relaxed and not depressed, if one is angry, it is easy to cause stagnation of the liver’s qi and blood, which can lead to disease. In order to have a strong liver, we must first learn to control anger, and try our best to be calm, optimistic and cheerful, free of worries, so that the liver fire will calm down and liver qi will be normally developed and adjusted. If you violate this natural law, it will hurt the liver qi, which will easily lead to liver disease. This requires learning to self-regulate and manage emotions, and to abstain from anger when encountering unpleasant things, and to vent it in a timely manner, so as to prevent depression of liver qi. The “New Book for the Aged” contains ten pleasures: reading righteousness, learning law and writing, clarifying the mind and sitting quietly, talking with friends, drinking, planting flowers and bamboo, listening to the piano and playing cranes, praising incense and frying tea, climbing the city and watching the mountains, and playing chess. Learn from the ten pleasures of the ancients, which are beneficial to nourishing liver energy in spring. The Su Wen – Four Qi Tuning Shen Da Lun: “In the spring of March… walk widely in the garden, be hair to slow down the shape, so that the Zhi Sheng”. In the cold winter, the human body’s metabolism, the collection of essence more than the transformation of gas, the internal organs of the Yang Qi have different degrees of decline, so after the spring, should strengthen exercise. Go to places with fresh air, such as parks, squares, woods, riversides, hillsides, etc., play ball, run, boxing, do exercises, in any form, take what you like, and try to move as much as possible, so that the spring qi rises in an orderly manner and the yang qi grows in a way, in line with the requirements of “spring and summer nourishing yang”. Older people with limited mobility can take advantage of the wind and sunshine and the brightness of spring to enjoy the view from the fence in the garden pavilion in the open space in order to smooth out the anger. However, spring exercise should be moderate, should not be too strenuous so as to sweat, because sweating too much will lead to a large loss of fluids, and damage to the body’s vitality. At the beginning of spring, it is easy to have warmth at first and cold at second, so according to the “Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine”, “Nourishing Yang in Spring and Summer”, the principle of “going cold to warm” should be used for living and resting. In terms of clothing, the general requirements are: on the one hand, it should be loose and stretchable, on the other hand, it should be soft and warm, and the clothes should not be reduced at once. This point is clearly stated in the “New Book for the Elderly”: “As the weather gets warmer in spring, it is advisable to reduce clothes gradually, not at once, so that people will suffer from cold”. In the Suwen – Four Qi Tuning Shen Da Lun, “being hair slow shape” means that clothing should be warm, comfortable and loose for the best, if the clothing is too thin is easy to feel the cold, too tight bundle is an obstacle to the Yang Qi ascension and dispersion of the “Thousand Gold Formula” has: “spring can not be thin clothing, people have typhoid, cholera, food does not disappear, headache “. Regimen news theory” stressed: “spring sun first born, all things sprout, is in February, the first cold and first heat … do not go to the cotton clothes, the elderly weak bones sparse body timid, wind and cold easy to hurt the coup when the preparation of the jacket, in case of warmth easy one weight, gradually reduce a weight, not to storm go”. And especially advised the frail people to pay attention to the back to keep warm. The need to prevent spring sleepiness, knocking liver and gallbladder Spring sleepiness is not a disease, but a normal seasonal change in the physiological phenomenon. The reason is that the skin vascular constriction in winter and the expansion of blood vessels and pores in spring when the weather becomes warmer, the relatively stable blood flow supplying the skin increases and the blood supplying the brain relatively decreases, thus causing spring sleepiness. Although spring sleepiness is not a disease, but it affects study and work, so we must try to regulate it. Prevention of spring sleepiness can try the following methods: 1, pay attention to sleep. As the saying goes: early to bed and early to rise in good spirits. This helps to improve the quality of sleep at night. The sleep time should not be too long, generally 8h per day for adults, 8-9h for secondary school students, 9-10h for elementary school students. of course, the time should also vary from person to person. 2.It is best to wash your face with cold water in the morning to stimulate the skin and brain to adapt to the changes in blood circulation in spring as soon as possible. 3.Strengthen physical exercise. Exercise can improve the body’s metabolic process, enhance blood circulation and whistling function, the central nervous system and other systems have a certain stimulating effect, so the spring should be more exercise, such as hiking, excursions, walking, etc. 4, often massage the solar plexus, sunshine is also beneficial to lift spring sleepiness. When there is sleepiness, you can use audio, touch, etc., to give yourself some stimulation, which can change the body’s internal rhythm, so that the central nerve of the brain quickly into a state of wakefulness, so that sleepiness can be eliminated. Conditioning meridians and acupoints is an important method of health care in Chinese medicine. The meridians have the function of running up and down, communicating inside and outside, contacting the internal organs, and running qi and blood. Spring liver can be stimulated through the liver and gallbladder meridians and acupuncture points, for example: 1. Tap the liver and gallbladder meridians. The inside and outside of the leg pants seam clearly corresponds to the liver and bile meridian, the inside from the bottom up knock, the outside from the top down knock. 2, transport eye regulating liver method: body sitting flat, gently close the eyes, even whistle (nasal suction mouth whistle), hands labor points rubbed to warm, hands support gently pressed on the eyes, palms aligned with the eyeballs on the cover hands do not move, in turn balance move the eyeballs up and down 3 times, left and right 3 times, then turn the eyes clockwise 3 turns, counterclockwise turn the eyes 3 turns, hands away, eyes do not open, keep the original state, and then return to the above action practice for 1 time Then return to the above actions for one time. After making 18 times, close your eyes for about 1min and open them slowly. 3, press and rub the back of the feet on the Taichong point can drain the liver fire, dredge the liver to relieve depression. Summary In conclusion, it is important to follow the characteristics of spring “life” to maintain health. After three seasons of summer growth, autumn harvest and winter storage, the human body has accumulated a lot of vital energy, so only by responding to the characteristics of spring birth to promote the new, smooth generation, in order to ensure a year of good mental state; 2, spring time health is also spring nourishing Yang. Liver Yang is not used, it can lead to dysfunction of the internal organs and the essence of the spirit, gas is not invigorated, before the old age, all diseases by the birth, so that people are tired and sleepy, headache, deafness, dizziness, etc..
