Chapter 63: Nine Yang Refining Eyes
If there is any group in China that knows how to maintain health best, it is undoubtedly the Taoist.
These people spend their days studying how to live long and have a good quality of life.
Lu Jiu is so old, and some of the health knowledge he knows comes from traditional Chinese medicine and part of it comes from the old man.
Before he went to college, he ran to the old man's door every day.
"Hehe, health, let's talk about eyes." The old man laughed.
Oh!
This is good!
In recent years, the incidence of myopia in children and adolescents in China can be said to have soared, and it has increased significantly with age.
In 2010, the National Physical Fitness Monitoring Bulletin made by the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China showed that the prevalence of myopia among primary school students in China was 31.67%, 58.07% for junior high school students, and 76.02% for high school students.
By 2014, the results of the Ministry of Education's "National Student Physical Fitness and Health Survey" showed that the detection rate of poor vision among primary school students in Huaxia reached 45.71%, 74.36% of junior high school students, and 83.28% of high school students.
Now it's 2023, I don't know how far the data has become, Lu Jiu feels that it is only high and not low.
Behind such a terrifying myopia rate, there is actually a serious loss of spirit.
In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, there are generally three conditions that cause myopia.
One is congenital myopia, that is, the congenital fire is insufficient at birth, and the internal organs are unbalanced at the beginning, the second is the acquired diet and living habits that lead to different degrees of damage to the internal organs, resulting in the lack of essence, and the third is that the organs have organic lesions, and the eye axis becomes longer and the like, which is generally caused by excessive use of the eyes.
The first one is difficult to solve, because it is a problem brought about by birth, and even the top Chinese medicine practitioners can't do anything about it.
The second type is a bit like the pseudomyopia that is now said, which can generally be restored to normal after conditioning the internal organs, but many people will choose to use glasses to correct it at this time, and do not realize that it is the internal problems of the body that cause myopia.
The third type is also more troublesome, because the eyeballs are damaged due to excessive use of the eyes, and the internal organs will also be damaged, so the third type of myopia, it is difficult for Chinese medicine to have a curative effect.
Although the liver is the main eye, the human eye can see, and the liver is not the only one that works.
"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" mentions in the Lingshu Great Confusion Treatise, "The essence of the five internal organs and six internal organs are all focused on the essence of the eyes." The essence of the cave is the eye, the essence of the bone is the pupil, the essence of the tendon is the black eye, the essence of the blood is the network, the essence of the qi is the white eye, the essence of the muscle is the constraint, and the essence of the muscle, the essence of the blood and qi is wrapped in the muscles, bones, and blood and the essence are tied to the pulse. ”
This sentence is to say that the structure of the eye and the connection between the five organs in the body, the liver is the main eyelid, the heart is the eyelid, the lungs are the main eyelids, and the kidneys are the main pupils.
And because the kidneys are the main collection, the essence and blood of the human body will be hidden there, so the visual damage has the most to do with it.
Like many people squatting for a long time when they suddenly stand up, they often have the kind of situation where their eyes are dark, which can actually be understood as a short-term loss of qi and blood, and the five organs and the whole body qi and blood suddenly can't be paid attention to, but this situation often recovers quickly, and it has nothing to do with illness.
Therefore, the loss of vision cannot only look at whether the eyeball has an organic lesion, which is actually very incomplete.
Nowadays, most children's myopia has nothing to do with genetics, and it is not even directly related to excessive eye use.
Like many young people, they secretly go to Internet cafes to play games since they were young, and they stay up all night all year round, sleeping in class and playground after class, and when they go to college, they still have 5.0 eyesight.
Why is that?
There is an old saying that the kidney is the main bone, and the bone is the ear and the eye.
If you look closely, those children who are active and like to run around every day are generally very few myopic, and those who stay at home all day are a group with a very high rate of myopia.
Running out to play every day not only makes me happy, but also does not accumulate emotions in the body, and the liver wood will not be discharged smoothly, and I bask in the sun outside and enhance my kidney qi.
The liver and kidneys are kept well, which means that the body has energy, in the five elements, water can give birth to wood, wood can make fire, and the power of water and wood is sufficient, even if there is a small problem with the other five organs, it will not cause much damage to the eyes.
If you take a game as an analogy, learning is equivalent to fighting with others in a game, and going out to play is equivalent to returning to the spring to replenish the state.
You only know how to fight every day, but you don't know how to make up for the state, don't you have to burp?
The game can be repeated, but once the eye is injured, it will be difficult to recover.
At least Lu Jiu has never tried how to treat myopia, but according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, myopia is not an irreversible disease.
It's a pity that many people don't know this, and what kind of vision correction institution do they take their children to, to be honest, this thing is really limited.
Instead of spending that money, it is better to take your children to play more in the sun and play sports.
It can not only relax the mind, but also exercise the body, and prevent myopia, why not?
"Tell me quickly, preferably what to do if the eye is already damaged!" Lu Jiudao.
The old man said with a smile, "My method is called Jiuyang Eye Practice, the biggest feature of this exercise is to maintain eyesight with the help of the sun's yang energy, like this season, the sun will rise around six o'clock, so you have to get up before six o'clock, make sufficient preparations to practice against the sun." ”
Lu Jiu was surprised, "To the sun? Oh yes, the rising sun doesn't dazzle. ”
Lu Jiu has been practicing the eight vajra exercises all year round, and he is very familiar with the morning sun, but he didn't react for a while.
After all, it has become a mindset that the eyes cannot look directly at the sun.
The old man got up with a smile, explaining and demonstrating, "After getting ready, find an open place, first rub your palms together, then apply them to your eyes, and use your own qi to complete the eye-catching action, after doing it, stand still and close your eyes and pronounce the hei word nine times, and then rub your palms upside down on your waist, your fingertips are facing each other, your thumbs are facing down, and you look up at the sun." ”
Lu Jiu looked at it for a while, then simply put Xiao Bald aside and got up to do the same.
"After looking at the sun, the eyes begin to stick to the upper eye socket to turn left 36 times, then turn right 36 times, and then use the translation method, from left to right 36 times, from top to bottom 36 times, the speed is not too fast, try to slow a little, here is still a translation, but the direction should be from left to right, and then from right to left, after 36 times, staring at the sun for three minutes."
"The moving part is over, and then the static part is the static part, here we have to close our eyes for two to three minutes, and then our thoughts should be concentrated on the palm of our hands, which is half done, and then we have to find a green plant, which can be a tree, or grass, use it instead of the sun, repeat the steps of the eye movement above, and after doing it here, we have to rub the palm of the hand against the ear up and down nine times, and finally it is to collect the work, rub the hot palms, protect the forehead with the left hand, rub the back of the head with the right hand, and the number of yang can be arbitrary."
"This is all the Jiuyang Refining Eyes, you can do it once or twice a day, and don't do it again after the sun is dazzling."
Lu Jiu only tried it for a while just now, and his eyes began to cry, "Old man, the eyes of this exercise are so sour, I feel like my eyeballs are about to be squeezed out." ”
The old man laughed, "Just get used to it." ”
In the twilight, the old man's eyes could not see a trace of the whites of his eyes, and the inky eyes glowed with bright black light.
"Can you practice when there's no sun?" Lu Jiu asked.
"Of course, just because the sun is obscured by clouds doesn't mean it doesn't come out." The old man said.
"Okay, I'll go back and study it." Lu Jiu picked up the little bald man and said goodbye to the old man.
The old man smiled and waved his hand, watching Lu Jiu leave.
Lu Jiu knew the old man's schedule, this one was the real sunrise and the day was resting.
As for the Jiuyang Eye Refining that he taught just now, regardless of whether it is useful or not, after practicing it first, it is the best to improve eyesight, and if it can't be improved, it is nothing more than a waste of half an hour's time.
Some people can play for a day and a night with their mobile phones, and they still lack this half an hour?
If you say you don't have time, you're just lazy!
