The two primary theories of traditional Chinese medicine are yin and yang and the five elements. For example, heat is yang, cold is yin; the body surface is yang, and the body is yin; , the six internal organs are yang, the five internal organs are yin, and so on. If Yin and Yang are harmonized, you will be healthy. If Yin and Yang are impaired, you will become sick. You must use decoction or acupuncture to harmonize Yin and Yang. The ancients put the five elements in their bodies, such as the five internal organs, liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, which are divided into wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, and the five elements are mutually generated and restrained. For example, some people have liver deficiency . According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, they need to regulate the liver and nourish the kidneys, because " aquatic wood ". Traditional Chinese medicine combines the five elements of human beings with the five elements of climate and seasons to achieve the unity of man and nature.
In the 2nd century AD, a miracle doctor like Hua Tuo appeared in China. It is really the pride of China. Unfortunately, he was killed by Cao Cao . The " Qingnang Jing " he wrote has not been passed down, and the world's earliest anesthetic, Ma Fei San, he invented, has not been passed down either. According to " Three Kingdoms ", Hua Tuo gave a book he wrote to the prison guards, but the prison guards did not dare to accept it, so Hua Tuo burned it in prison.
Western medicine takes cold medicine when you have a cold, and takes antipyretic medicine when you have a fever, but Chinese medicine is not like this. Here I tell you two short stories about the miracle doctor Hua Tuo to express the connotation of traditional Chinese medicine.
Once Hua Tuo came to a small county town, and both officials had headaches and fever, so they came to see the doctor together. After Hua Tuo looked at the two of them and asked questions and touched each other, he prescribed laxatives for one of them and sweating drugs for the other. The two of them were puzzled, why did the same symptoms take different medications? Hua Tuo said that the first person had a spleen and stomach disease, while the second person had wind and cold, so the medication was of course different. The two of them were half-believing and half-doubted. After all, they were miraculous doctors, so they were embarrassed to ask more questions. They took the medicine according to the prescription and drank a few doses when they returned home, and they were all cured.
There is a large family in Dongyang County who has diarrhea. It is very serious. He has hired all the famous local doctors but it has not been cured. I heard that Hua Tuo was here, so this large family hurried to invite Hua Tuo to see the child. Seeing that the child was only one year old, Hua Tuo asked if he was still taking milk. After receiving a positive answer, Hua Tuo stopped treating the child, but instead prescribed ten doses of medicine for the child's mother. Sure enough, the child’s mother fed the child after taking the medicine, and the child never had diarrhea again.
In addition to Yin and Yang and Five Elements, traditional Chinese medicine also has Zangxiang , essence, veins and other theories, including prescriptions, acupuncture, massage and other diagnosis and treatment methods. Friends who are interested can read books that specifically introduce traditional Chinese medicine.
Although the ancient Chinese did not have as many scientific instruments as they are now, they have long discovered a major mystery of nature - the law of transformation between invisible energy and tangible matter, which was briefly summarized by the ancients as "yang produces yin and grows, and yang kills yin and hides".
The generation of plants is generated by absorbing the heat energy of sunlight. Without the sun's light energy, or heat energy, there would be no plants on the earth. Without plants, of course there are no animals.
A pine seed as big as a mung bean falls on the stone walls of the mountains, and its roots can drill into the cracks of the rocks. As time goes by, it actually grows into a towering tree. According to modern scientific research, the photosynthesis of plants is carried out by absorbing sunlight and moisture under the action of chlorophyll. Photosynthesis produces nutrient-related carbon water compounds. Therefore, after the plants are burned, charcoal can be produced. Where does the charcoal contained in trees come from? It must have come from the sun, right? Otherwise, if a pine tree grows on a tall stone wall, where can it absorb so much charcoal? It can also be speculated that sunlight contains multiple elemental substances at the same time?
Sunlight is invisible and intangible. With the participation of pure water, towering trees rich in various energy substances can be produced. Cut off the tree and let it burn, and it can generate huge heat energy. This is the invisible energy, which can produce tangible things, and produce invisible energy, such an invisible-tangible-invisible cycle. Also, this is the magical thing that invisible yang energy can produce tangible things, right?
There is sunshine, and then there is water.If there is no sun, the earth is just an ice hockey. Therefore, the Luoshu says, "Heaven produces water, and the earth completes it." The so-called "Tianyi" refers to the sunshine and heat energy in the sky, which produces water on the earth. The sun is weak in winter and the water forms ice. The air is dry, the wood boards are cracked, the skin of hands and feet is cracked, and the yang is weak and cannot produce water.
There is sunshine and moisture, then there are plants, then there are animals. With plant animals, human life is found.
Western medicine treats patients and only stares at the test of tangible substances. The energy, yang energy, which plays a decisive factor in life function, is ignored and knows nothing. Therefore, Western medicine spent 10,000 yuan on examination, but it was of no use. For example, if there are fewer red blood cells, there are many white blood cells in and many more . But what is the reason? Why are there fewer red blood cells in ? Why are there many white blood cells? This cannot explain.
According to the principle of "yang produces and yin growth", there is insufficient body fluid, few semen, insufficient sperm motility, too few red blood cells, and too many white blood cells. All of them are caused by Yang deficiency and yin excess of . From clinical observation, if you meet the qualities, you will feel unhappy at all.
Therefore, the magic and greatness of traditional Chinese medicine lies in the fact that traditional Chinese medicine is good at observing the prosperity and decline of the human body's yang energy. Those with excessive yang nourish yin and suck yang; those with weak yang support yang and suppress yin. " Yang transforms into qi , Yin forms", all tumors and cancers are caused by water and dampness, eating more cold foods, which damages the yang energy.
