Chapter 128 The Concept of Health Preservation in Traditional Chinese Medicine
Together with Chen Wenhao, he came out of Zheng Haifeng's house, it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening, and when he was about to go out, Jiang Hairong took out a piece of Moutai wine from home and asked Yue Haohan to bring it.
When he arrived downstairs, Chen Wenhao stood and said to Yue Haohan, Haohan, you can find a time to come to me tomorrow and take back the investigation report you sent last time, I will roughly revise it, and after you go back, you will enrich the content well, refine some points of view seriously, and mail it to me after the Spring Festival. After this article is published after the year, you will be allowed to participate in the spring youth cadre class held by the party school of the provincial party committee, this spring youth cadre class lasts for three months, closed study, Minister Zheng has a plan, ready to select ten outstanding personnel from your batch of selected students to participate in the study.
Yue Haohan said, thank you Director Chen for your concern! In fact, I have been thinking about the issue of peasants' burdens for some time.
Chen Wenhao said, it's not too early, don't say anything else, let's have a good chat when we meet tomorrow, and in addition, in the future, in private, you don't call Director Chen a mouthful, just call me Brother Chen It's good.
After Chen Wenhao left, Yue Haohan carried the wine box, and as soon as he arrived at the car, Li Jianzhong pushed open the door of the cab, got down to take the wine in Yue Haohan's hand, and put it in the trunk in the back.
Get in the car, sit in the passenger seat, after the door is closed, Chen Guoyun, who is sitting in the back seat, asks, Haohan, Minister Zheng is at home at night? You've been on it for a while, and it's supposed to be past eleven o'clock.
Yue Haohan said that when I went up, Minister Zheng had not yet returned home, and there was an event in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee this evening, and Minister Zheng drank some wine, and then, after arriving home, he had a more chat with me and Director Chen Wenhao.
The car drove out of the yard and drove in the direction of the Huaxia Hotel, Chen Guoyun said, Haohan, I have to visit a few old comrades-in-arms tomorrow, what are you going to do tomorrow?
Yue Haohan said: I want to buy some gifts tomorrow to visit my teacher, Professor Zhang Haiming, and in addition, to visit Academician Fu Rongsheng Fu who visited the General Hospital of the Southern Military Region.
Chen Guoyun said, vast, this time, Yangjiang Hongxiao bream brought a lot, you give the two of them no one to bring a fish, you look at it and match something else, then we will split up tomorrow, and we will go back to Jiangyang the morning after tomorrow.
The next morning, Yue Haohan took two bottles of fish and four bottles of Moutai wine, asked Wang Zhiguo to send him to Jianghan University, sat down in Zhang Haiming's office for a while, and Yue Haohan helped send two bottles of Moutai and one bottle of fish to Zhang Haiming's house; Then, the two teachers and students went to the General Hospital of the Southern Military Region to visit Academician Fu Rongsheng.
When I arrived at the door of Fu Rongsheng's office, the door was open, Fu Rongsheng was writing something at the desk, Zhang Haiming stood by the door and knocked on the door, saying, Old Fu, who do you see coming?
Fu Rongsheng raised his head, took off his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and saw Yue Haohan carrying two bottles of wine and a bag of fish, standing behind Zhang Haiming, so he stood up with a smile and said, Haohan is coming, come in and sit.
Zhang Haiming said, Haohan brought you a few wild red bream from the Yangjiang River, and two bottles of Moutai, how about it? Old man, otherwise, we will reimburse these two bottles of Moutai at noon, okay?
Fu Rongsheng laughed twice, and said, I can't drink at noon today, I was with Minister Zheng last night, I drank a little too much, and now my head is still a little dizzy.
Zhang Haiming said, old man, I drank no less than you yesterday!
Fu Rongsheng smiled and said, your old Zhang is younger than me.
After a few words of greeting, Fu Rongsheng asked Zhang Haiming and Yue Haohan to sit down on the sofa, picked up the water bottle and prepared to pour tea for the two, Yue Haohan got up busily, took the boiling water bottle in Fu Rongsheng's hand, poured a cup of tea for Zhang Haiming and himself, put it on the coffee table, and went to the desk again, refilled Fu Rongsheng's cup, and then put down the water bottle and sat down next to Zhang Haiming.
After sitting down, Zhang Haiming asked, Old Fu, what have you been tinkering with recently since the last paper was published? I saw the way you were focused just now, but you should pay attention to your body, and you have to combine work and rest.
Fu Rongsheng said, I am now studying the "treatment of disease" in traditional Chinese medicine, which is what we usually call traditional Chinese medicine health preservation, which comes from our ancient Chinese essence medicine, and our contemporary Chinese medicine level has declined, basically ignoring the way of health preservation in Chinese medicine, and ancient Chinese medicine on health preservation, it is very worthy of our descendants to continue to develop and study.
Fu Rongsheng picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and then said that the so-called traditional Chinese medicine health preservation refers to a medical activity that nourishes life, enhances physical fitness, and prevents diseases through various methods, so as to achieve longevity. TCM health preservation focuses on holistic and systematic, with the aim of preventing diseases and curing them before they occur. The so-called "life" means life, survival, and growth; The so-called nourishment means maintenance, recuperation, and nourishment. In short, health preservation is the meaning of maintaining life. Guided by the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and following the law of change of the biochemical collection of yin and yang and the five elements, the human body is scientifically recuperated to maintain the health and vitality of life.
Zhang Haiming said, old man, you have chosen this topic well, and now people's living conditions have been greatly improved, but then the problem comes, most people do not pay attention to the way of health preservation, eat and drink nonsense, and do not control **, in this way, all kinds of strange diseases will come, and when the disease comes on, it is already late.
Fu Rongsheng said, Lao Zhang, the relationship between health care and life determines the multifaceted nature of health preservation. So, what is wellness? Why Wellness? How to maintain health? In fact, our Chinese ancestors have long answered this question, and our Chinese have a long history and rich connotation of health culture; Since ancient times, traditional Chinese medicine health preservation has mainly been the concept of prevention, holistic, balance, and dialectic. Health preservation is to "cure the disease", which is achieved through various methods such as nourishing the spirit, adjusting the diet, practicing the body, being cautious about sexual affairs, and adapting to the cold and temperature, and is a comprehensive activity to strengthen the body and promote longevity. Just like the vast Tai Chi taught by General Luo, it actually belongs to the category of traditional Chinese medicine health preservation, and belongs to the practice of body in traditional Chinese medicine health preservation.
Listening to Fu Rongsheng's set of traditional Chinese medicine health preservation theories, Yue Haohan, who was sitting next to Zhang Haiming, said, Fu Lao, I feel that modern Western medicine is developing rapidly, and Western medicine has a great impact on our Chinese traditional Chinese medicine.
Fu Rongsheng said: Haohan is very right, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the chairman and his old man once put forward the instruction of combining traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. On the surface, this is actually because, at that time, due to the economic and medical conditions, this kind of instruction is still the development of medicine under politics. Carefully analyzing the reasons behind it, in fact, Chinese medicine has not really lost the market under the continuous impact of modern Western medicine. The therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine on many diseases is obvious, because it can indeed cure diseases and become the basis of its curative effect. The complete system of traditional Chinese medicine is in line with the thinking mode of our Chinese people, which has become the cultural foundation for the existence of traditional Chinese medicine, or because of the existence of traditional Chinese medicine culture, traditional Chinese medicine will have a market foundation. As for the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, I personally believe that at present, it is more manifested in the independent use of traditional Chinese and Western medicine technology in clinical practice, and it is more of a combination of technical aspects, and the theoretical combination has not yet been realized.
Zhang Haiming picked up the teacup, took a few sips, put down the cup, and said with a smile, "Old man, I always think that the root of our Chinese medicine thought is the Book of Changes", why do you say that?
First, the concept of health preservation of the unity of nature and man comes from the Book of Changes. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that heaven and earth are a big universe, the human body is a small universe, heaven and man are connected, and people are not affected by heaven and earth all the time, just like a fish in water, water is all of the fish, and changes in water will definitely affect fish, and in the same way, all changes in heaven and earth will affect people. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the unity of nature and man, and the method of health preservation is adjusted appropriately with the climate change of the four seasons, cold and hot and warm.
Second, the concept of health in the balance of yin and yang is in line with the theory of the Book of Changes. A person with a balance of yin and yang is the healthiest person, and the goal of health preservation is to seek a balance between yin and yang in body and mind. What is yin? Yin is the material foundation of the body. What is yang? Yang is energy, yin and yang are relative, everything that is upward, outward, active, and hot belongs to yang; Whatever is downward, inward, and cold belongs to yin. The reason why the body is sick is because the balance of yin and yang is out of balance, resulting in too much yang or too much yin, yin deficiency or yang deficiency, as long as you try to reduce the too much side and increase the too little side, so that the yin and yang can return to their original balance again, the disease will naturally disappear into nothingness. Therefore, TCM health care places great emphasis on the balance of yin and yang for a healthy life.
Third, the holistic view of the unity of body and mind also comes from the Book of Changes. Traditional Chinese medicine health care focuses on both physical and mental aspects, not only pay attention to the exercise and maintenance of the physical body, but also pay attention to the cultivation and recuperation of the soul, the body will affect the mind, and the psychology will also affect the body, the two are two sides of the same body, one is indispensable.
After Zhang Haiming finished speaking, Fu Rongsheng laughed "ha, ha", and said, Lao Zhang, I always think that you are not engaged in traditional Chinese medicine research, which is a big loss for us in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, why don't you change your career?
Zhang Haiming smiled and said, Old Master, what are you kidding, how old are you and changing careers? Don't forget, I studied traditional Chinese culture, which originally included the culture of traditional Chinese medicine.
Fu Rongsheng said, in fact, to put it bluntly, health preservation is to prolong life; In the opening chapter of "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", "The Theory of Ancient Innocence", the first problem is the decline of relationship function and longevity: "I heard that the ancient people were all 100 years old in spring and autumn and their actions were not decaying, and the people of today were half a hundred years old and their movements were declining. Will people be lost? ”
In the "Shennong Materia Medica", the concept of "immortality" is constantly proposed. Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching once said that those who are good at health care know how to avoid physical and mental harm. They know how to avoid diseases through the right diet and a healthy lifestyle, so that they can achieve health and live longer than the average person. When people can stay away from illness, they can naturally delay aging and prolong their life.
Yue Haohan got up and gave Zhang Haiming and Fu Rongsheng a cup of refilled water, and after sitting down, he said, Fu Lao, Teacher Zhang, in fact, I always think that a person's spirit is the most important.
Fu Rongsheng said, I will say that Haohan has a good understanding, you are right, this is one of the key factors that affect people's health; First of all, TCM health preservation is important in cultivating virtue, which is the most important condition for health and longevity. As early as 2,000 years ago, the medical book "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" said that "tranquility and nothingness, true qi comes from it, spiritual inner guard, and illness and safety", which clearly stated that health preservation should pay attention to spiritual maintenance.
Yue Haohan asked, what about other factors?
Fu Rongsheng said that the second key factor in health preservation is to exercise regularly. People who are sick need exercise, and people who are not sick need to exercise to prevent it. At the same time of exercise, it can achieve the purpose of strengthening the body, strengthening the will, promoting digestive circulation, and enhancing immunity.
Fu Rongsheng picked up the teacup on the table, took two sips, and went on to say that the third factor of health preservation is to maintain mental, emotional, and psychological health. Wellness requires us to cultivate a healthy spirit and stable emotions, so as to avoid mental extremes, psychological fluctuations, and emotional instability. According to the views of traditional Chinese medicine that anger hurts the liver, joy and sadness, thinking hurts the spleen, sorrows the lungs, and fear hurts the kidneys, it further explains that emotions and mental health care are an important part of human health, and among all the unfavorable factors on the human body, the most important thing that can make people die in a short life is bad emotions. When a person's mental state is normal, the body's ability to adapt to the environment and resist diseases will be enhanced, which can play a role in disease prevention.
Zhang Haiming said, old man, in fact, you still ignore a very important factor, that is, healthy and balanced eating habits are also essential factors for health preservation.
For thousands of years, healthy food and a balanced diet have been recognized as the key factors for achieving longevity, and unreasonable eating habits have been considered to be the root cause of health problems. Disease prevention is also an important part of health preservation. Through regular exercise, proper use of medications, proper dietary supplements, and other health-promoting activities, everyone can achieve the goal of strengthening the body and delaying aging.
The three of them chatted, and before they knew it, it was noon, Fu Rongsheng looked at the watch on his wrist, "oops", and said, it's more than twelve o'clock, it is estimated that there is no food in the canteen now, today I invite you teachers and students to experience a new small restaurant next to our hospital, where there are two special dishes that are good.
