The classic literary masterpiece “Dream of the Red Chamber” not only shaped a number of lifelike artistic images, but also contains a number of health care methods, and a more detailed description of modern health care with learning implications. Medicinal food for health Medicinal food, also known as food therapy, is one of the valuable treasures of Chinese medicine, but also a discipline of Chinese medicine between pharmacology and nutrition. Cao Xueqin “Dream of the Red Chamber” on the medicinal food for health made a number of detailed descriptions. For example, in the forty-fifth round, Xue Baochai recommended to Lin Daiyu’s diet “bird’s nest porridge”, is the preferred medicinal food for Daiyu’s illness. Daiyu suffered from consumption, namely tuberculosis, to hot flashes, night sweats, coughing, coughing blood as the main symptoms, is a chronic deficiency disease. The pulse case written by Dr. Wang to Daiyu said, “The disease is caused by the accumulation of depression, due to the depression of fire, resulting in wood and fire penalizing the gold, and the deficiency of the lung yin and the appearance of the five organs of deficiency.” Bird’s nest is rich in various amino acids needed by the human body, and it is boiled into “bird’s nest porridge” in combination with icing sugar that moistens the lungs, which is “stronger than medicine and most nourishing to the yin and qi.” In the eleventh episode, Qin Keqing is seriously ill, and the old lady gives her a date paste yam cake, which is “the art of nourishing health”. This cake has a calm taste, strengthens the spleen and benefits the qi, tonic but not greasy, easy to digest, the most suitable for the long-ill and deficient to eat. Cheng Zhongling, a doctor of the Qing Dynasty, said, “Medicine is better than food, and food is better than essence.” Thus it can be seen, Chinese medicine food therapy on disease plays a non-negligible role in the treatment, complementary treatment and health care, prevention. Drinking tea for health tea is the “national beverage”, but also an important Chinese medicine. Shennong Food Classic” in the “tea tea for a long time, people powerful and happy will” said. In many prescriptions of Chinese medicine have a fine tea, the most famous is the treatment of headache Chuanxiong tea transfer san and clear stomach heat of five tiger tea, which is the fine tea we drink every day tea. “Dream of the Red Chamber” in the tea although not into the medicine, just casual drinks, but often drink is also a way to maintain health care. For example, the sixty-third return, Baoyu because more pasta, Lin Zi Xiao family advised him to drink Pu-er tea, Baoyu drink immediately after the appetite increased. Usually Jia mother’s favorite drink old Jun Mei is one of China’s top ten famous tea produced in Dongting Junshan “Junshan silver needle tea”. Old Jun Mei brewing method is very delicate, shall take the snow on the plum blossom, buried under the plum blossom tree, the next summer out of the boiling bubble tea, can bright color, fragrance and rich. From the point of view of Chinese medicine, tea can wake up the spleen and dampness, and can clear the heat to refresh; from the point of view of Western medicine, tea in the caffeine, both refreshing, but also to reduce blood lipids. Therefore, drinking tea is a way to maintain health, indeed, can receive the effect of the pleasure of the body. Medicine wine health wine is a drink invented by the ancients in labor production, is also an important solvent, often used in Chinese medicine. In the classic “Treatise on Typhoid Fever” and “The Essentials of Jin Kui”, many prescriptions include yellow wine and soju. The rich and powerful could not maintain their health without wine, and Acacia wine infused with Acacia flowers was Daiyu’s daily health drink. Acacia is a small white flower on the Acacia tree, which has the effect of calming the mind and activating the body, regulating qi and relieving depression. According to Chinese medicine, acacia flowers not only dispel cold, but also have a unique effect on sentimentality and insomnia at night. Yellow wine, also known as Shao wine, is Baoyu’s health drink. This wine wine is calm, not hurt, nutritious; Tu Su wine is a kind of medicinal wine, New Year’s Eve Jia House up and down are drinking it, has the effect of dispelling wind and cold, clear damp heat and prevent disease. Hunger health Hunger is a health method, but also a method of treatment of disease, in the Chinese medical canon often appear in the “loss of grain”, is hunger therapy. In the House of Jia, all those who had a slight wind and cough were always mainly net hungry. Wang Xifeng’s daughter, Qiao Sister’s occasional wind chill, after consultation and treatment, the prescription of the doctor is “just clear and quiet starvation two meals will be fine”. In the 53rd round, Qing Wen suffered from a cold nearly healed, and then because of the complementary peacock fur and relapse, the disease is getting worse, the use of hunger therapy, net starvation for two or three days, and careful to take medicine to regulate, it will gradually get better. Starvation health is not completely not to eat or drink, but after a cold, heatstroke or indigestion, so that the overburdened spleen and stomach have a time to rest and adjust. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, hunger regimen is good for the repair of the spleen and stomach; from the perspective of Western medicine, hunger regimen is to let the gastrointestinal tract empty, which is good for the repair of the gastrointestinal mucosa. In addition to eating a light, sweet and refined diet, she also liked to go for walks.
