"Huangdi asked: I heard that the ancient cure, but it is to move the essence of change, can be wished for just. Today's treatment of disease, poison treatment of its internal, needle and stone treatment of its external, or healing or not, why? Qibo said: to the ancient people live among the animals, movement to avoid cold, yin living to avoid the heat, no family within the twilight of the statue, no external stretch eunuchs, this quiet world, the evil can not go deep. Therefore, poison cannot cure the inner, needle and stone cannot cure the outer, so the essence can be moved and blessed. In today's world, there is no such thing as a worrying situation inside, a bitter situation outside, a loss of the four seasons, and a reversal of the cold and heat. Thief wind several times to, deficiency evil night and day, the internal to the bone marrow of the five organs, external injury to the empty orifices of the skin, so small diseases will be very, big diseases will die. Therefore, wishing can not be. " --Huang Di Nei Jing-transfer of essence and change of air theory

(Continued from the previous article)But the Yellow Emperor then asked: "Today's treatment of disease, poison treatment of its internal, needle and stone treatment of its external, or healing or not, why? " Huang Di was very good at grasping the point, he asked Qibo, modern times, modern times at that time is the era of Huang Di, now this time to use drugs to treat its internal, needle and stone to treat its external, even if this treatment, some of the disease isgood, and some of the disease is not good, whatis the reason? In fact, this kind of question now many patients will also ask, he will say doctor why others can take medicine can be good, I take medicine can not. Why do other people have no pain once the needles are stuck, but I have been stuck for half a year and not good.

When I used to practice in the acupuncture department, some patients would say how come they couldn't get better after six months here, why is that? He said that "the ancient people lived among the animals", he said that in ancient times, people lived a simple and simple life, nesting and living with birds and animals, their living environment is very similar to that of the ancient people, that is, the ancient people lived in caves, "among the animals ", surrounded by birds and beasts. In the winter time when the cold comes, how to avoid the cold at this time? It is called "action to avoid the cold", the so-called "action to avoid the cold" refers to the winter activities to exercise the body, such as practicing Yi Jin Jing, using the art of channeling the body's Yang Qi to practice, using these methods to avoid the cold.

I immediately associate it with a character in Jin Yong's martial arts novels, Zhang Wuji, who practiced Jiu Yang Shen Gong, no matter how cold it was, he wouldn't get cold. The ancient people were particularly original, of course, he also avoided the cold, he lived in a cave, the cave has a characteristic, is cool in summer, warm in winter. In the winter than the outside temperature to warm, because there is a ground steam, the natural yang are gathered to the ground, the living in the inside to avoid the cold. Now we know that the kiln in Shaanxi also has this feature, warm in winter and cool in summer. If it is particularly cold he will practice and get up to do some movements. "What is the meaning of "living in the shade to avoid the summer heat"?It means that when the hot day comes, you go to a cool place to avoid the heat, such as hiding under a big tree or in a cool cave to avoid the heat.As soon as you look at this sentence, you feel that the ancient people were in such a state, we still have to push forward, not the summer dynasty, may have to push forward to the three emperors and five emperors that era, a bit like we learn history class in the primitive society of a state.

Let's look further back, called "no attachment to the weary, no outside the shape of the eunuch", that is, there is no internal attachment to envy of this kind of emotional drag and attachment, that is, there is no jealousy in the heart of how others, what contrast, just as now compared to how much money others earn, how big the house, what car, a comparison of their hearts very I am very unbalanced. Sometimes there will be envy and jealousy, which is the dependency and so on, is what we often say now, no contrast there is no harm.(Today's headline @ Chinese medicine Dr. Peng Xin)If often compared to the top, certainly than the top is not enough, the heart side is difficult, he is difficult, he is not involved in a tired? Emotional attachment, the body is not good.

The first ancient people he did not have "dependence on the twilight and so on". "Outside the form of no extension of the official", what is the meaning of the extension of the official? The word "official" in many texts is "eunuch", the eunuch of eunuchs, and in some texts of the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, this word is official.In short, the word "guan" means to be an official.Wu Kun's commentary: "The official seeks to advance in the official", which means that there is no internal attachment, and there is no external pursuit of being an official. Who in primitive society would seek to become an official, a divisional leader or a departmental leader. Did primitive people have such class divisions? No. Therefore, "this world of tranquility, evil can not go deep", this time of tranquility and quiet, no internal emotional attachment to the twilight, no external travel to seek official form of laborIn a quiet and aloof, the spirit of the realm of internal protection, so the essence and Qi will be sufficient to fill, so evil can not go deep. So when you get sick at this time, so the poison can not cure its internal, needles and stones can not cure its external, so you can move the essence of the blessing only. This kind of person does not need drugs to regulate, nor do they need need needles and stones to unblock their meridians. What if a disease occurs? The only way to cure the patient is to "bless the cause of the disease", that is, to shift the spirit and change the flow of qi and blood, using this method of blessing the cause of the disease, this is how these people cured the disease in ancient times.

This is how these people cured their illnesses in the ancient times. Let's look further back, "not in the present world", Qibo said that these people are not like this nowadays. The people nowadays are not able to do so? The heart is still worried about all kinds of things, resentment, anger, annoyance, 喜悦, anger, sadness, fear and fear, all kinds of emotional and mental involvement and imbalance. Externally, it is also very tiring, not at all carefree, and has to run around and work every day. Is it true that many people are like this now, with a lot of pressure in their hearts and very tired at work? We live in big cities, there are many people go to work for a very long time, just take the subway or bicycle, the work time is more than an hour, some more than two hours, the body is still very tired, work every day, the heart is also very stressful, and also with the mortgage. One patient told me that he was paying off his mortgage, paying for his children's schooling, his parents' health, and his own health with high blood pressure and high blood sugar, which are all internal and external problems.

Many people say that the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine is an ancient book, and we can read even ancient books to get some sense of the modern human world. People and things have not changed much since ancient times, just a change of terminology. ThePain that the ancients experienced, including the pain of the heart and the pain of the body, people now experience the same, only a different way and terminology, the essence is not too differentSo when reading this paragraph, especially those who have some life experience will be very emotional, I did not expect that Qibo is also so grounded, but also can appreciate the state we are in thousands of years later. The Western Han Dynasty is BC, and it is now 2022 AD. That is, people two thousand years ago knew the experience of his time, and I two thousand years later people can find resonance when they read his words again, this thing is time travel, there is no barrier. Ancient people have it, modern people also have it, it is something of human nature.

Let's look further back, why do we have to read the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine? Because the "Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine" is very deep, not only about the physical life sciences, but also about the 喜悦, anger, sadness and happiness in the world, people's inner feelings, the body's feelings, are very clearly described.(To be continued)
