Scrubbing is something we all have to do every day, every day when we open our eyes in addition to the toilet, the most important thing is not more important than washing the face and brushing teeth. Wash your face is very important, but there are many people because of washing their own face caused a lot of trouble. I recently saw many people in the dermatology department because of the use of soap, cosmetics improper and make the face of pimples, one after another. The dermatologist described this as “cosmetic dermatitis”. I wondered, these modern cosmetics and soaps are the crystallization of the modern chemical industry, while in ancient times, we did not have soap, how do we wash our faces? Qing Dynasty health masterpiece “Lao Lao HengYin” on the introduction of many of the then people’s daily life, although the Qing Dynasty is not far away from us, but now and that time the pace of life is completely different, so the ancient Chinese traditional health care ideas are also embodied in them, then follow me to understand how the ancients wash brush it. Lavatory (sound with irrigation) wash, this “lavatory” word, is the meaning of hand washing; “Mu” is the meaning of washing hair; “靧”(音同会) is the meaning of washing the face, “bath” is the meaning of washing the face, “bath” is the meaning of washing the face. The word “bath” means to take a shower. The first few words are collectively called “wash”. The book says, the former health experts said that hair should be combed often, should not be washed often, why? Because of the wind wash hair, easy to suffer from head wind, head wind is a headache, or colds and other diseases. I do not think so, head hygiene is also a very important part of the ancient people may be hair are too long, wash up the trouble, so rarely wash your hair, in fact, should keep the head hygiene, wash your hair diligently as well. In this article, the author mentioned: “the morning first wash your face, after meals, after naps, after dusk, all should be accustomed to. Face for the five organs of the Hua, frequent washing so the development of the.” This sentence is very good, he means, the face for the five organs on the glory embodied in the external parts, should often wash the face to make the essence of the development of out, or not wash the face, all day long people will have no spirit, and the color is ugly. Wake up in the morning to wash your face, three meals to wash your face, wake up after a nap to wash your face, wash your face after dusk before it gets dark, wash your face to become something we take for granted, so that people will be a hundred times more energetic. The ancients also attached great importance to facial hygiene. Now we also need to wash our face diligently to maintain hygiene. Wash hands also have to pay attention to, cold hands in winter, you should use hot water to wash your hands, the warmth of the gas can last a long time, much better than baking fire. There were no hand-warmers in ancient times, and if they had had them, I am afraid they would have used them. He also said, wash your hands five times a day, in fact, five is also about the number, the back of the explanation that cover hand washing is not too frequent ear, so more hand washing is also very helpful for health. Wash your face, the ancients also pay attention to the use of hot water, “wash your face water is not too hot (but don’t be boiling water ah), hot can line blood gas, cold is stagnant gas, people face without luster; wash your face with hot water, and the hotter the better, this is not to be understood literally, because the book is called “the old old HengYin,” so it is for the elderly to write the health of the readings, now certainly have to be different, the elderly have less yang gas The old people have less Yang Qi, wash your face with hot water to protect and replenish Yang Qi, it is necessary, and young people do not have to be rigid, always to the degree of comfort. When it comes to washing the face, we would like to think, what is used to wash the face, is the legendary pig pancreas? Later said: “Yuzao” said: Mu Jikji and 靧 Liang, Note: Mu Jikji, with the water of the Jikji wash hair; 靧 Liang, with the water of the 靧 Liang 靧 face. All slop,” said the book to wash the face of things is the slop after panning rice, which has a certain Chinese medicine reasoning, the spleen and stomach transportation of the grains, the essence of which is transported to all parts of the body, the grains are the essence of the gathering place. And because the seeds of plants contain the nutrients of life, the kidneys are the main sealing, the kidneys store essence, plants also store essence through the seeds, so the seeds are the essence of the convergence of the body, with its slop to wash the face can absorb the essence, is a better choice. But because of the ancient productivity is very low, the grains are very valuable, so later said “not to millet and sorghum to wash the body of the cover of the precious grains of meaning also.” Plus bathing, the book said that the time of hunger is not suitable for bathing, because “abdominal deficiency can not make gas consumption ear” Chinese medicine on the bath development pores make it open, pore is the body of gas in and out of the channel, pore opening will make the breath dissipation, so don’t starve to take a bath. Decoction of goji berries bath, the book said “people are not sick, not old, even if there is no definite effect, as if no loss” with it is not much evidence but no harm, we can try. In short, the author of this article introduces us to the ancients bath the general situation, we can not now, of course, as primitive as the ancients, but some of the basic principles are still very good, such as often wash your face, wash your hands, wash your hands with warm water, wash your face with slop after washing amalgamation of grain, don’t take a bath when you’re hungry, and avoid the wind after bathing, and so on, it is worth thinking about, there is a certain significance.
