Zhu Danxi is a representative figure of the historical school of yin maintenance. He put forward the famous theory of yang surplus and yin deficiency and the theory of phase fire, and formed a systematic academic thought on the maintenance of yin essence. His method of maintaining yin essence mainly embodied in meditation and abstinence to control the fire of the king’s phase, prudent diet to take care of the spleen and stomach, and prudent dryness and heat to prevent yin robbery. Zhu Danxi realized from the “Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine” that yin qi is difficult to be formed and easy to be lost, and that there are morbid factors in the human body such as “fire is easy to be excessive and water is easy to be lacking”. Danxi believes that external events are always sensed in the heart, the five wills, six desires and seven emotions are united in the heart, the heart is easy to be sensed by things and move. When the heart moves, the fire moves. To make it move and not delusional, the maintenance approach is to rest the mind and meditation, so that the heart is not moved by material desires, passions and desires, “is the heart, collect the heart, the heart, are all so that to prevent this fire from moving in the delusional also”. He absorbed the Confucian view of health, emphasizing that the human heart is at the mercy of the heart of Taoism, the main static, through the spiritual consciousness regulation, rational control of all kinds of mental activities, so that the fire movement in the section, not against the common sense. Quiet heart nourish the heart, fire prevention action hurt yin “heart for the fire on the kidney for the water in the lower, water can rise and fire can fall, a rise and a fall no exhaustion, so the business exists.” Water main static, fire active, water and fire high and low call, static and static control. The king of fire, will be under the consumption of kidney water, attracting the phase fire, quiet and nourish the heart is an important part of the control of fire movement injury to the yin. “The king’s fire does not move, the phase fire is only endowed to keep the position only, how to have burnt the abusive flame, fly away from the wild potential also?” Danxi this point of view and the “Neijing” “Ten onion mistletoe clover ugly woman and barium difficult to sprite yoke arsine mute school to get condylar ship delicacy ferry system which Zhu crotch system that the world glass Meta Huang cormorant street apples cormorant nao breakfast Mang Miscellaneous ibi Q knit kind of plaque On the phase of the fire, Danxi pointed out that, living in the liver and kidney two viscera, “born in the void, guarding the location of endowment orders, because of its movement and visible. Move to the extent that the movement will hurt the yin, the essence of the leakage from the walk. The main reason for the phase fire to move is the indulgence of lust. Indulgence in lust is manifested in the exuberance of fire and the depletion of yin essence. People’s passions and desires are endless, and the yin that is difficult to make and easy to lose is often insufficient to supply, exhausting its source and causing chaos. In order to restrain the phase fire and prevent it from moving, the method is to “stay away from it and rest assured that it will be withdrawn.” Remove distractions, abstain from lust, do not be concerned about sex, wantonness and indulgence, is the fundamental measure to control the phase fire delusion. Abstinence of health, to avoid the four times of emptiness According to the principle that the human body should be the four seasons of yin and yang, Danxi deduced that the four times of abstinence of health, teaching people to avoid a year of emptiness, a month of emptiness, a day of emptiness and the plain of emptiness. The year of the virtual, that is, the year in April, May, June, October, November, that is, Danxi said, “the summer month of fire and earth of the prosperous, the winter month of the fire of the ambush, the theory of the year of the virtual ear. Danxi believes that heaven and earth to the five elements of the five changing the decline and prosperity of the four seasons, the five organs of the human body should also be the decline and prosperity. April is Si, May is the afternoon, for the fire, fire for the lungs of the husband of gold, fire is gold decline. June is not, for the soil is prosperous, soil for the husband of the water, soil is prosperous water decline. Moreover, the kidney water often borrow lung gold as a mother to subsidize its deficiencies, so the “Neijing” assiduously capitalize on the source of its chemical also. Ancient people in the summer, must be alone and tasteless, conscientious in the care also. Maintenance of gold and water two viscera, is suspected of fire and earth Wanger. October is Ohio, November is a child, is the fire latent closed, to raise its true nature, and for the next spring to happen to rise and move this. If at this time wanton desire to kill and maim, to the time of the spring rise, under no fundamental, Yang Qi frivolous, there will be warm and hot disease. This is also the “Neijing” “winter does not hide the essence of the spring will be sick warm” said the play. The deficiency of January, that is, before the upper and lower strings, when the moon is empty. Danxi said: If the moon is empty before the upper chord and after the lower chord, it is also the emptiness of January. The name of the moon is derived from the fact that the moon looks like a bow. The upper chord is the eighth and ninth days of each month of the summer calendar; the lower chord is the twenty-second and twenty-third days of each month of the summer calendar. On the earth, when the moon is 90 degrees east of the sun, you can see the semicircle on the west side of the moon, which is called the upper chord of the moon; when the moon is 90 degrees west of the sun, you can see the semicircle on the east side of the moon, which is called the lower chord of the moon. The deficiency of one day, that is, “in case of wind and fog, rainbow and neon flying electricity, violent cold and heat, thin eclipse of the sun and the moon, sorrow and anger, fear and grief, drunkenness and satiety, laboriousness and tiredness, planning and diligence, and all are the deficiency of one day”. Plain vanity, for the first time the disease, sores and wounds attack stage. When these four weaknesses, the maintenance should be temporarily far from the curtain, each cherish, to protect the heaven and the whole. On the contrary, if you violate these four deficiencies, there will be serious consequences. Danxi will be common at that time, “the end of spring and early summer, suffering from headache and foot weakness, less food, body heat, Zhongjing said spring and summer drama, autumn and winter poor, and the pulse strings, is the world called Resistance and Resistance to Summer Disease”, attributed to the four virtual reason. According to the clinical case analysis, many people or dizziness, restlessness and heat; or palpitations, sleeplessness, alarm and restlessness; or Yang Xing dreaming, lumbar and knee pain and weakness, and the modern test indicators are normal, but self-consciousness is obvious, can be attributed to sub-health. The reason for this is that all these manifestations are related to the desire to move the loss of yin, indulgence in sound and color, evil thoughts and lust, mental decadence, the fire rise, not to stop its evil thoughts, the treatment of no success. Zhu Danxi recognized the “desire”, not limited to the desire of men and women, but also includes the tenderness, sound, color, fragrance of the fire factors. He said: “The ancients said not to see what they want, so that the heart is not chaotic. The tenderness of the body, the sound of the ears, the color of the eyes, the fragrance of the nose, who is the iron man, the heart does not move for it?” Starting from restraining the phase fire, he put an important place on restraining appetite, saying that the desire for food and drink is especially important for the body. Therefore, pay close attention to the choice of food, in order to care for the spleen and stomach. Spleen and stomach free of the essence of health Danxi pointed out that the stomach gas, pure and pure and the gas is also, the people rely on for the birth of the person. The human yin gas depending on the stomach for nutrition, maintenance of the spleen and stomach, the source of uninterrupted, yin essence of some of the original. He said: “The stomach is the sea of water and grains, more blood and gas, clear and can receive; spleen for the digestion of the gas, clear and can transport.” In terms of dietary intake, Danxi particularly emphasized the protection of the spleen and stomach to be clear and unimpeded. He said in “CiYuLin”, “if thick viscous dry hard, sour, salty, sweet and spicy, all fish and meat, wood fruit, wet noodles, roasted simmering and frying, but the heat is difficult to melt the things, it is advisable to prohibit”; “the theory of old age”, “as for the good wine, greasy meat, wet noodles, oil, roasted, simmering and frying, spicy, sweet and slippery, are in the avoidance! “, the rationale lies in this. Vegetarian diet Ru light nourish the spleen and stomach Festival prudent diet to prevent the fire moving injury to the yin also has important significance. He believes that: “resting in the flavor of the flush and, the heart of the collection of the fire of the lowering; to the thick flavor for the peace of mind, the desire to indulge in the victory of the fire also.” If you seek thick flavors, your heart will be on fire, and if you are greedy for food, your phase fire will be born. Dietary inappropriateness, not only the spleen and stomach damage, yin loss of chemical source, but also due to dampness and heat in the, evil fire with the rise of yin was dark consumption. Dietary desires, must not be cautious. On the “essence of the insufficient to make up for the taste”, Danxi has a unique insight, the cloud flavor out of talent, but also out of man-made. “Heaven’s endowment, such as grain, beans, vegetables and fruits, natural and flavor, have eaten to replenish the yin function”; “people for the person, are cooking thick flavor, there is a risk of disease and injury to life.” Emphasize the vegetarian diet Ruwu light, to the natural taste of nourishing the spleen and stomach pure and nourishing the gas. The stomach and intestines are overloaded, resulting in stagnation and prudent diet is to maintain the purity and harmony of the stomach qi, in which Danxi put forward the idea of “reversing the warehouse”. Danxi’s inverted warehouse theory, is the human body’s intestines and stomach is compared to the storage of grains in the granary, that water and grains and five flavors into the body, must first reach the stomach, the stomach to affect. People are often burdened by materialistic desires, and have difficulty in controlling the intake of delicious things, which overburden the stomach and intestines and lead to stagnation. Excessive intake of food and emotional injuries can impair the digestive function of the stomach, eventually leading to stagnation, phlegm, blood stasis congestion, which are not physiologically necessary for the body, and belong to the evil poisons that breed disease. Danxi also analyzed from the point of view of fire-heat disease, “accumulation for a long time is the shape of the quality into, attached to the stomach and intestines back to the thin zigzag place, as a habitat of the arena, impede the fluids, gas and blood, fumigating burnt into the disease”. Therefore, it is necessary to take the “pour” method, clean up the stomach and intestines, cleansing toxins, both to reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines, but also to avoid the fire and heat into a hundred diseases. Be careful to use dry heat to prevent robbing the yin For the dry heat of warm tonic malpractice, Danxi lamented “Bureau Square play”, criticizing those who do not speculate on the body’s strengths and weaknesses and the severity of the disease, all with dry agents for the robbery of wet disease, warm agents for the robbery of the virtual disease, the only pungent heat is to throw the person. For women without children, Danxi emphasized that the blood is not enough to take in the essence, want to get a child must make up for their blood and yin, against the “light use of hot agents, frying the internal organs”, so that the blood boiling, the disaster is not the heel. Zhu Danxi in “Gezhi Yu Lun? Theory of Elderly Care”, in the form of a question, expounded the idea of prudent dryness and heat. He combined with the physiological characteristics of the elderly, explained that: “the person’s yin is difficult to become easy to lose, after sixty or seventy, yin is not enough to match the yang, the lone yang want to fly over, because of the natural gastric qi still stayed in, but also borrowed from the yin of the water and grains, so the restraining surly and set ear.” The “Neijing” said: “Kidney evil dry. Wu Fu Dan agent, non-dry and how? If the blood less people, if the wind, half-summer, Cangzhu, adductor, but dry agent and dare not more, let alone the Wu Sui Dan agent!” Fangfeng, half-summer, Cangzhu, Xiangsui sex dry should not be used, good wine and greasy meat, wet noodles and oil juice, burned simmering and frying, spicy, sweet and smooth, easy to breed heat, should be used with caution. Its medicine, food, with good intentions. One of the characteristics of Danxi treatment is to make fire to nourish the yin. He created famous formulas for nourishing yin, such as Da Tonic Yin Pill, to reduce fire and replenish water. Ran Xuefeng has made a note of the great tonic yin pill: “yin gas gradually exhausted, dry fire burnt, irritable body heat, sweating more than, yin more injury is hot more blazing, hot more blazing is more injury to the yin, the six flavors and other water tonic, water can not be born to the pulse and other protection of Jin, Jin can not be the end of the protection, but the yellow cypress, mother of pearl, bitter, and the cold, and with the ground of the Run Wo, the tortoise board of the town of the descending to the urgent leveling of its fire, the rapid convergence of its fire, the urgent suppression of its fire, the urgent suppression of its fire, the urgent suppression of its fire, the urgent suppression of its fire, the urgent suppression of its fire. The fire, the fire, the fire, the fire, to go to a point of heat, that is, to protect a point of yin liquid.” Nowadays, people readily take expensive supplements. After eating ginseng, abdominal distension, do not want to eat; have eaten antler, bleeding hemorrhoids; have drank a large tonic wine, elevated blood pressure, sleepless nights. This is to make up for the law, anti-birth of fire, heat, damage to the Yin essence, harm to the body. Prevention and treatment method, remember Danxi caution: abandon dry heat, cautious warm tonic.
