Li Jiren Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine (1931.1.6-2021.3.11)
The first Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine Li Jiren is one of the founders of the " Xin'an Medicine" research in my country. Xin'an famous doctor Zhang Yitie 14th The descendants (inheritors of national intangible cultural heritage) have made outstanding contributions to the teaching and research of Chinese medicine. The main ways of longevity are as follows:
The number of onmyojis should follow
Li Jiren believes that the way of keeping good health is "say one thousand things and ten thousand", all in the diet, daily life, exercise and spirit. In this respect, it is necessary to do it according to "The law is based on yin and yang, and on number". Specifically, it is manifested in four aspects:
eating and drinking with restraint
means that there must be a certain degree of restraint and regularity in the diet. Li Jiren usually pays great attention to the recuperation of his diet. In addition to the regular ration of each meal, the diet is mainly based on coarseness, meat and vegetables are based on vegetarian, and acid and alkali are based on alkali. It can be summarized into five words: "less, miscellaneous, light, warm, and slow".
Daily life
Daily life is not only about getting up and going to bed, but also about daily activities. There must be routines in daily life. In addition to maintaining the habit of going to bed and getting up early, Li Jiren also insists on doing a set of self-made exercise gymnastics every day.
Do not work arbitrarily
That is, work and exercise should not be excessive. Li Jiren usually pays more attention to rest. Even labor and exercise are not too much, but it is not too late.
The shape and spirit are all
The body and the spirit are interdependent.Form is the backing of God, and God is the dominant form. Li Jiren usually pays great attention to mental recuperation. When he encounters setbacks in life, Li Jiren often chants " Mencius·Gaozixia": "Then the heavens descend to the people of Sri Lanka. He is hungry for his skin, emptied of his body, and disturbed by his behavior, so he is tempted to endure, and gains peace of mind.
attaches great importance to the safety of the five internal organs
The human body is an organic whole, and this whole is centered on the five internal organs. Therefore, Li Jiren emphasizes health preservation.
Nourish the mind first.
Because the heart is the master of the spirit, so you should always be as calm as possible when encountering things, but happy, but not worried, and keep your mind in a quiet state. " Yellow Emperor Neijing" says: "Void evil and thief wind, avoid it for a while, calm and void, follow it with true energy, keep the spirit inward, and be safe from illness", emphasizing that health preservation must adapt to the changes in the external climate and maintain the inner spiritual sentiment. The stability of the will. Only when the functions of the heart-ruling gods are normal can they be refreshed and quick-thinking.
In addition, maintaining a normal sleep is also the best guarantee for nourishing the heart. Every night before going to bed, often massage the Laogong acupoint on the hands and Yongquan acupoint on the feet, which can play the role of heart-kidney interaction to improve sleep. We should also pay attention to the noon rest, because the most active time of heart activity is at noon, which is also the time when yin and yang meet, so noon rest can keep the heart.
Nourishing the liver should be comfortable.
The liver governs the drainage and is an official of the general. Precisely because the liver regulates venting, the first priority in nourishing the liver is to maintain emotional stability and comfort, and avoid getting angry and sulking. Only when the liver's function of dredging and draining is normal, can a person's qi machine be unblocked, the qi and blood can be maintained, the meridian can be improved, and the functional activities of various organs can also be regulated normally. In addition, blood is stored in the liver, and the blood is returned to the liver when a person lies down. Maintaining a good quality of sleep can also nourish the liver.So be sure to go to bed and rest on time at night. In addition, the "Huangdi Nei Jing" says: "The liver is the foundation of the extreme", and excessive fatigue will stop the muscles. Therefore, the liver should also be used as far as possible to neither work nor exercise.
Nourish the lungs to ensure unobstructed breathing
The lungs govern the breathing of the Qi. The lung has the function of presiding and regulating the qi of the whole body, and it is also a place for gas exchange inside and outside the body. Through the lungs, the old and new are absorbed, thus ensuring the normal operation of the body's metabolism. Therefore, nourishing the lungs must first ensure the patency of the respiratory tract. To vomit the old and learn the new, the specific method is to open the window every morning after getting up. If the weather is good, you can go to an open place outdoors to take slow and even deep breaths, breathing and inhaling as much as possible for 6.4 seconds. Frequently doing this kind of deep breathing can play a role in nourishing the lungs. There is also a breath-holding method, which also helps to strengthen lung function, that is, first inhale and then close, stop after closing, and try to stop until you can't bear it before exhaling. Repeat this 18 times. In addition, it is also necessary to treat things with a positive and optimistic attitude to avoid emotional factors that hurt the lungs.
Nourishing the spleen and stomach focuses on diet
The spleen and stomach are the acquired foundation and the source of qi and blood biochemistry, so strengthening the spleen and stomach should be combined with nourishing the stomach. The spleen governs transportation and transformation. Therefore, the maintenance of the spleen and stomach focuses on diet. The diet should be regular and quantitative, and should be moderate. Eat only seven to eight percent full at each meal, and pay attention to dietary hygiene. Don't over-prefer a certain diet. A diversified diet can ensure a balanced nutrition. In addition, it is necessary to do some exercises and massages to help the temper activity and enhance its transportation and chemical functions.
Nourish the kidney without excessive consumption of sperm
Kidney stores essence , metaplasia True Qi, the main bone produces marrow, and the main reproduction. The first thing to do to invigorate the kidney is not to consume excessively, and not to "enter the room while drunk." "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" says: "The kidney is the master of the sting, and the foundation of the seal." Therefore, if you want to relax and have less desire, you can also cooperate with massage. In addition, frequent percussion , and frequent swallowing of mouth fluid, which is known as "Qiong Jade Liquid", also has the effect of invigorating the kidney.
Six Fu-organs The key to health preservation is to keep it smooth. "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" says: "The six-fu-organs pass on the material without hiding them, so they can't be full." Therefore, it is necessary to eat more crude fiber foods to stimulate bowel movements, and to develop the habit of regular bowel movements to maintain the smooth flow of the six fu-organs.
Massage acupoints to invigorate the spleen and kidney
The kidney is the congenital foundation, and the spleen is the acquired foundation, so it is very necessary to strengthen the health care of the spleen and kidney. For a long time, in order to maintain a healthy body and vigorous energy, Li Jiren has figured out and summed up a set of massage health care methods.
The specific method is as follows: With the palm of the right hand, the Shenque point facing the navel, then press 36 times clockwise around this, and then press 36 times in the opposite direction. Combine the key points with acupuncture points, such as Zhongwan acupoints , Tianshu acupoints, Guanyuan acupoints , Mingmen acupoints , and press vigorously.
The abdomen is "the palace city of the internal organs, the source of yin and yang, qi and blood". Li Jiren's regular rubbing can promote the circulation of Qi and blood in the abdomen and improve the function of the viscera located here. Especially the key points are very important. Zhongwan acupoint is the recruiting point of stomach meridian , and Tianshu acupoint is the recruiting point of large intestine meridian . It is often used to strengthen the effect of promoting clearing and reducing turbidity. There are also Guanyuan acupoints under the umbilicus and Mingmen acupoints behind the umbilicus, which have the effect of nourishing the kidney. Every time Li Jiren uses the index fingers of both hands to press dozens of these two acupoints at the same time.
Because Guan Yuan is Dantian point , it is the place where the four meridians of spleen meridian , liver meridian , kidney meridian and Ren meridian meet,The qi and blood in the lower abdomen of the human body are transferred to the kidney meridian through the Guanyuan point. Pressing Guanyuan can replenish kidney qi . Mingmen acupoint, the gate of life, opposite the navel, is located under the spinous process of the second lumbar spine on the back. It is the main point on the governor channel. The governor channel can govern the body's yang energy, and then enter the kidney through the Mingmen acupoint and press . can supplement kidney yang. Therefore, people who pay attention to health preservation in ancient times would moxibustion the Mingmen acupoint every winter.
In short, “health preservation and health care are not esoteric. You can inherit the exercises or create your own exercises. The key lies in persistence, and you must not ‘fishing for three days and drying the net for two days’” said Li Jiren.
A cup of medicinal tea to regulate Qi and blood
Chinese medicine believes that there is an important standard for human health, that is, the fullness and harmony of Qi and blood. Qi and blood are one of the basic substances that constitute and maintain the life activities of the human body. Among them, qi belongs to yang, which is invisible and active, and governs warmth; blood is yin, which is tangible and governs tranquility, and is governed by nourishment. Qi and blood have a relationship of yin and yang, interdependence, and mutual use. Once the two disagree, the main clinical manifestations are qi stagnation and blood stasis, lack of qi and blood ingestion, deficiency of both qi and blood , loss of qi and blood and .
How can we maintain the harmony of qi and blood? Li Jiren once introduced a medicinal tea on CCTV Channel 4 in July 2010: American ginseng, astragalus, wolfberry, Polygonatum . This tea can nourish qi and blood, regulate qi and blood, and dredge the meridians. Among them, Western participation Codonopsis and ginseng have basically similar functions, and they are all essential medicines for invigorating qi. However, American ginseng is cool in nature, and wolfberry is warm in nature, which can nourish the liver and kidney. The two are used together with cold and temperature, and both qi and blood are supplemented.
Astragalus has the reputation of "little ginseng" and is called "the strength of tonic" by Li Shizhen , which can nourish the vitality of the internal organs. Polygonatum has the function of replenishing blood, " Compendium of Materia Medica " believes that Polygonatum has "replenishing all deficiencies,"The effect of "filling the essence". The two flavors use qi and blood to adjust. At the same time, because astragalus is warm in nature, it is easy to get angry if you eat too much, and American ginseng is cool in nature, so the two work together to play a neutralizing effect. Four Chinese medicine , Small quantity and specialization, taking care of qi and blood. This medicine tea is not suitable for everyone, such as people who are suffering from a cold and those who often have cold hands and feet, and those who are prone to diarrhea.
Li Jiren also likes to collect calligraphy and painting. "Collecting calligraphy and painting is an elegant cultural activity, which can not only increase cultural knowledge, beautify life, but also cultivate one's emotions and prolong life. "Li Jiren has his own perception of collecting. From the real world of his hanging pot life, he transitions to a higher spiritual world through ink and wash paintings. Like watching plum blossoms in summer, he feels cold and comfortable, and in winter he feels warm and warm when he enjoys lotus flowers. .When you are in a low mood, you can see a picture of flowers and birds blooming in bloom, and a picture of the northern country in the snow and ice when you are upset. Wandering between the material world and the spiritual world, it is real and ethereal, refreshing, and happy, how can one live unhealthy and long?
Get close to nature and delight your body and mind
"Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles." Li Jiren is a wise man who is intensively researched and has a constant pen, and is close to nature and loves traveling. He is so fond of traveling, not only has he traveled all over the green hills of his hometown of Huangshan Green water, footprints all over the north and south of the river, inside and outside the Great Wall, and travel all over the world. Every time Li Jiren comes back from a trip, he is bound to be radiant and more energetic.
He did the test himself, the "three highs" before and after his trip. The indicators have all declined. Someone asks a mystery? Li Jiren smiled and replied, “As soon as I have time to travel, I will put all my brains down and enjoy the mountains and waters and natural scenery wholeheartedly, inspiring the love of the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. , The tense mood of daily work can also be relaxed, blood pressure will naturally drop, and blood lipids and blood sugar will also be virtually reduced. ”■
