Shi Yangshan, the master of traditional Chinese medicine, is the fourth generation successor of Shi's Traumatology, a famous orthopedic school of traditional Chinese medicine. He has experienced all kinds of hardships in the old society and the new China. At the age of 60 years old, he served as the president of Huangpu District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He has developed and expanded Shi's Traumatology. In addition to a cavity of blood, he also needs the support of a strong body. Born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine, Mr. Shi has a set of ways to maintain his health.
Shi Lao is 82 years old this year. Speaking of the truth of health preservation, he can be summarized into eight words: mentality, tolerance, interest and guidance.
Positive attitude
The first and most important factor is "mentality". Shilao once said: "All people in the world who live long, whether doctors or other professions, whether smoking or drinking, have one thing in common in their experience, that is, they are optimistic and cheerful, that is, they have a particularly good mentality."
Why is mentality so important? From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, emotional disorders can lead to disease. Although long-term bad mood will not cause disease immediately, its viscera and qi opportunities will gradually be out of balance, rise and fall erratically, and go in and out of disorder. For a long time, the circulation of qi and blood will not be smooth, the spleen and kidney will be damaged, and it can not promote the old to the new, and it can not prolong life. If it is serious, it will lead to a serious illness, which will result in a loss of life. So it is very important to cultivate an optimistic and optimistic attitude. If you are in a good mood, your qi will be unblocked. Even if there is external evil and internal poison, it is not easy to damage the human body. It can be smoothly discharged from the body and restore the normal operation of the body's function. As the "Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine" said, "The positive qi is in the body, and the evil cannot be done."
Everything has its limits
Shilao believed that traditional Chinese medicine health care stresses the balance of yin and yang. The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic said that "the balance of yin and yang is the secret, and the spirit is the cure". The key to grasp this balance is "the degree", that is, everything has a limit. Beyond this limit, yin and yang will become unbalanced, and the disease will take place for a long time.
For example, Shi Lao's three meals are not very particular about the proportion of nutrients. He also likes to eat and doesn't like to eat, but he doesn't overeat everything. He doesn't overeat what he likes to eat, and doesn't touch what he doesn't like, because the "Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine" says that "five grains are for food, five fruits are for help, five animals are for benefit, five vegetables are for filling, and the smell is combined to take it, so as to supplement essence and Qi", which explains that five grains, five fruits, five vegetables The viscera corresponding to the five vegetables and five animals should not be neglected for a long time. Shi Lao is also very fond of seasonal fruits and vegetables, and rarely ingests anti-season crops, especially the noisy genetically modified food. Shi Lao said: things that violate the laws of nature are bound to be harmful to people. Although some of them may not cause disasters immediately, they will inevitably have adverse effects over time. If you want to live a long life, you must follow the "Tao". What is the "Tao"? Tao follows nature, and nature is "Tao".
In addition, Shi's daily life is also very regular. Shilao usually goes to bed at 9 o'clock in the evening, because he believes that the metabolism of the elderly is slow, and the function of cleaning and detoxification is poor, and the evening is the time for visceral rest and cleaning and detoxification, so maintaining adequate rest is very beneficial to the body's own cleaning and detoxification. If you are still doing physical or mental work late, the blood cannot return to the viscera, and the cleaning work will inevitably be inefficient, and at the same time it will increase the burden of viscera. Nowadays, young people rely on their youth and strength. They often stay up all night and work overtime. After a long time, they will become dirty and angry, suffer from various diseases, and even die of overwork at a young age. Of course, "lying down for a long time hurts the breath". It is not good to sleep too much, so it is a good habit to go to bed early and get up early.
In addition, Mr. Shi also attaches great importance to the midday nap. He believes that the midday nap and the midday nap are the time of water and fire traffic, and the heart and kidney intersect, and the essence will slowly grow, which will be used endlessly. Therefore, even a few minutes of sleep at these two time points is also very beneficial, and people will feel more energetic. However, people who often stay up late or work on night shifts are not very energetic, which can be seen at a glance. In Shi Lao's view, all kinds of ways to maintain life are just a grasp of "degree". Therefore, only those who can control themselves can talk about health preservation, otherwise all methods are futile.
Cultivate interest
Hobbies are the spiritual support and sustenance of people. A good hobby can delight the body and mind, regulate qi and blood, and is very beneficial to health and health. Shilao also has a wide range of interests, and his favorite is music and opera, especially classical music, Huangmei Opera, Peking Opera, and so on. He occasionally hums two sentences. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the five tones can enter the five internal organs, and the five bodies belong to the five internal organs respectively. Good music can adjust the balance of qi and blood yin and yang in the five internal organs, play a role in calming qi, calming nerves, soothing liver and blood, and also play a role in regulating some chronic diseases such as insomnia and dizziness. Therefore, based on the principle of music, Mr. Shi and I researched and created a set of musical neck balance exercises, which perfectly combined music and guidance, and added a new treatment for the treatment of cervical spondylosis. If we can practice for a long time, it will be enough to delay the disease.
Diligent guidance
Guiding is also one of the ancient health preserving techniques. Hua Tuo's "Five Birds Play", Shaolin's "Muscle Changing Classic", and Baduan Brocade all have the effects of relaxing muscles and activating collaterals, regulating qi and blood. Guiding is also one of the origins of martial arts, and the most famous is Wudang's "Tai Chi Boxing". Shi's Department of Traumatology was first established by the Escort Agency. It has learned martial arts from generation to generation, and has a small reputation in the south of the Yangtze River. Since childhood, Old Shi has been practicing martial arts with his grandfather, and has laid a deep foundation in martial arts. For guidance, Old Shi has a lot of experience. Before suffering from chronic diseases, Shi Lao practiced a martial arts routine almost every day. Therefore, Shi's strength is still much stronger than that of his peers, which benefits from martial arts and guidance.
