Chapter 195 First Understanding of Medical Taoism

  Dinner is still a hodgepodge, or soup. Several other ingredients have occasionally changed these days. Ginseng, sweet potato and yam noodles have always been the protagonist.

   Like the breakfast this morning, Xu Guangling ate more for dinner, um, half more than yesterday.

   In the morning, the two old men didn't ask, but then Mr. Chen casually said: "Boy, have your appetite increased again?"

   Well, Mr. Chen's title has changed again.

   Xu Guangling was crowned the "boy".

   Although Mr. Chen asked, Mr. Zhang also looked at him with concern, so at the dinner table, Xu Guangling nodded to the two old people, "En."

   Xu Guangling didn't say much, in fact, there was nothing to say.

   The two old men didn't ask any more questions. Likewise, there was nothing to ask.

   After the meal, we still started to walk in the open sky. Mr. Chen led the team, followed by Mr. Zhang and Xu Guangling.

   But to be honest, taking this step now, for Xu Guangling, most of the effects are probably digestion.

   After digestion, it is time for class.

   This is the absolute center of gravity.

  In the study, the three of them sit opposite each other as usual.

   Zhang Lao opened his mouth and went straight to the point, without even the slightest bit of nonsense. Of course, this is actually a habit of these days.

   "The human body is a self-consistent system with strong self-healing properties. What it needs is normal operation and the material support required for normal operation. In my humble words, please explain what I said."

  If it was yesterday, Zhang Lao asked, Xu Guangling must have thought about it for a while.

   But there is a summary from last night, and it is logical to answer this question again. Xu Guangling smiled in his heart. The old man said that he didn't check his homework, but in fact he did, that is, at this time.

   "Eat well, sleep well, but don't overwork. Everything else is left to the body to manage by itself." Xu Guangling replied.

   This is what Xu Guangling felt last night.

   looks simple, but it is not simple at all, and there are not many people who can fully implement these three points.

   Really not much.

   can even be said to be rare!

   As far as the first point is concerned, eating well, the most basic requirement is to eat not much and not much.

   Simple isn't it?

Simple.

However, the fact is that some people are greedy for the desire to speak, and some people are greedy for the feeling of fullness, and they eat too much without knowing it. Fat people, on the other hand, want to lose weight, but the fat is not lost much, but the body's internal organs are damaged due to the lack of material supply.

   This is just the “quantity” aspect.

   In addition to quantity, there is quality, that is, in addition to how much to eat, there is also what to eat, even when to eat, and how many meals to eat.

   Any one of these is actually a big topic, involving many aspects of knowledge, and it is by no means a simple conclusion.

   The other two, too.

Hearing Xu Guangling's answer, the two old men both smiled, Zhang Lao nodded slightly, and said with a straight face, "Humble words, this is the basic tenet of traditional Chinese medicine, and it has never changed for thousands of years. To sum it up in one word, it is 'auxiliary'."

   "Aid the normal functioning of the body."

   "Its fundamental direction is not to cure the disease, but to prevent the body from being sick, which is what most people call 'do not cure the disease before, cure the disease before.'"

   Xu Guangling nodded.

   After thinking and summarizing last night, he already had a basic understanding of this issue.

  Children, because the body has not yet grown, the main development direction of the body is growth, so the resistance to the outside world will be relatively weak, and it will be easy to get sick. This is easy to understand, as if a small tree is easily knocked down and broken by heavy wind and rain.

  Old man, the blood of the body is weakening.

  Children have plenty of qi and blood, but they are mainly used for growth. The elderly are not full of qi and blood, so the two are actually the same situation. Therefore, the elderly are just like children and are prone to illness.

   Then there are the congenitally deficient.

   In addition to these three, the average adult year, in theory, should not be sick, and there is no reason to be sick.

   Of course, theory is one thing, fact is one thing.

   The truth is that among adults, sick, not too many.

Xu Guangling also summed up the reason for the deviation between the theory and the fact and it is a huge deviation last night. Generally speaking, there are three reasons:

   ignorance;

   Indulge in knowledge;

  Life is alive, involuntarily.

   "Humble words, have you heard the story of Dayu controlling the flood?" Zhang Lao asked.

   This is literally fishing.

   Living on this land and having received basic education, if he had never heard of this story, he could have been dragged out and killed, so Xu Guangling responded with a wry smile instead of nodding to the teacher's question.

   Both old men laughed.

   "What are the basic principles of Dayu's flood control?" Zhang Lao asked again.

   This time Xu Guangling was about to answer, and answered honestly: "Sparse, sparse."

"Yes, Shu." Zhang Lao nodded earnestly, "The basic purpose of traditional Chinese medicine is 'support', and the basic principle of its behavior is 'shu', which is what I said to you before, 'General rule does not hurt, Pain doesn't work'."

  The general rule is that there is no pain. The pain here cannot only be described as pain in the narrow sense, but it means that there will be no malpractice. In other words, there will be no disease or illness.

   Often use the eyes for a long time, the result is myopia.

Why?

   Just because of "no connection". - The blood in the eyes is not circulating.

   So the methods of eye protection include massaging the eye area, turning the eyeball, looking up, down, left, right, far and near, all of these methods are to make the blood around the eyes circulate.

   I often sit for a long time, and as a result, my lumbar muscles are strained.

   Ordinary people may still think it's incredible, "I'm sitting, obviously my waist is resting, why is my lumbar muscle strained? It doesn't make sense!"

   Makes sense.

   And the reason is the same word, "No way".

After sitting for a long time, you can stand up and twist your waist or something, and then you can do pull-ups and frog jumping, etc. In short, the purpose or principle is to make the blood of this place circulate and become active. .

   As the saying goes, running water does not rot, and the hinges of the house do not become worms. As long as the body can function normally, the Qi and blood of the body can flow up and down, and there will be no accumulation of maladies and no disease.

   Xu Guangling nodded to Zhang Lao's words.

   In the past month, his "preschool" was not learned for nothing.

  Lao Zhang continued: "The basic principle is 'sparse', and the basic method of 'sparse' is 'needle', that is, the needle of 'acupuncture'. Among them, the needle is the main body and moxibustion is the auxiliary."

   Xu Guangling nodded again.

   "Acupuncture is used to dredge Qi and blood, but some people's physical condition is too deficient. Simply dredging is not helpful. At this time, it is necessary to 'replenish', that is, medication."

   "Acupuncture and medicine, these are the two major systems of traditional Chinese medicine."

   "For thousands of years, all behaviors and researches on Chinese medicine have revolved around these two systems."
