Talk about mutton and radish soup, and listen to tian teacher's talk about winter tonic.

Neijing is a classic of the theory of great compassion. No matter how much you know about astronomy and geography, you will eventually fall into "personnel" and hide in folk customs, people's diet and daily life, daily necessities. It is not a good Chinese medicine to study only those who don't ask for personnel.

A bowl of mutton and radish soup

Tian Yuan: Speaking of keeping in line with the four seasons, let's talk about mutton and radish soup at noon today.

Tian:

In fact, mutton radish soup, preferably carrots, because carrots are warm and have the effect of clearing heat. Isn't there a proverb "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer"? It means "the second solstice", that is, the solstice in winter and the solstice in summer.

Because in winter, it is cold outside and hot inside; In summer, on the contrary, the yang is outside and the stomach is cold. So in winter, radish is used to clear the internal heat of the human body; In summer, it is ginger that warms cola.

Why is it hot in winter and cold in summer? Look at the well water in summer. Is it cold? So we have a cold stomach and want to eat ginger. On the other hand, just like the solar terms in severe cold, if there is spring water in the mountain, it is the hottest. The changes in our human bodies are the same as those in nature.

Tian Yuan: There are many kinds of radishes. Why must it be carrots and white radishes?

Tian:

White radish mainly regulates qi, but it can't clear heat. All kinds of carrots can be used, and carrots can also be used, because it is cold.

Tian Yuan: Both white radish and carrot are good radishes with Chinese medicine thinking. Interview with Mr. Chen Min, talking about the cheerful state of liver qi, he said that I don't have to take Xiaoyao pills to be happy. Eat some chocolate or talk about love, and your mood will be cheerful and your liver will be cheerful. ...

Tian:

Many of the traditional Chinese medicines mentioned today are medicines other than Han nationality. Sun Simiao, isn't Buddhist culture also integrated into Chinese medicine? Therefore, you don't have to wear Tang suit or Hanfu, Hanfu is Chinese medicine. You must keep pace with the times. For another example, in this era, B-ultrasound and nuclear magnetic resonance are technologies that can be used by both western medicine and Chinese medicine. Why did you refuse?

Tian Yuan: I agree. The greatest wisdom of ancient Chinese medicine is tolerance.

Tian:

Anything that is conducive to the development of Chinese medicine can't be let go.

Tian Yuan: How do you understand the word "zhong" in Chinese medicine?

Tian:

People get sick because they are partial, so Chinese medicine is still the culture of China, the golden mean. Not many people understand it now, but Chinese medicine is the medicine of China. Traditional Chinese medicine is not just medicine, it includes the whole system of Chinese civilization from theory to technology.

There is also the problem of yin and yang, which is the basic thing of Chinese medicine. Now when it comes to yin and yang, it always rises to the height of philosophy, thus putting Chinese medicine on the shelf.

Yin and Yang in TCM are visible and tangible.

How did the Yin and Yang of TCM come from? From the movement of heaven and earth. The movement of the sun and the earth produces yin and yang.

Can you see the changes of the four seasons? Can you see the change of day and night? Everyone can see that this is yin and yang, and it is a real thing. It is not illusory. Whoever wants to say anything can say anything.

Tian Yuan: Say "what", this is the authentic Henan dialect.

Tian:

In other words, we can see the yin and yang of traditional culture.

Tian Yuan: No matter how profound the truth is, it should be "transformed" into life, because it comes from life.

Tian:

Yes, all of us must be visible and tangible. You raise it to the philosophical level. Do any of us know what philosophy is?

Where is the yang of human body?

Tian Yuan: I'm also talking about the solar terms of the Great Cold. The colder the weather on the ground, the higher the underground temperature, which is also the view of circular motion in ancient Chinese medicine. The law of the human body is the same as that of nature, that is, the colder it is outside, the hotter it is inside. But why is there a general voice that autumn and winter should be supplemented?

Tian:

This is a misunderstanding of people. Moreover, from this point, we know that there is neither pure cold nor pure heat in the physiological structure or pathological structure of the human body. People nowadays don't understand this at all.

In the coldest time, there is heat in the human body; At the hottest time, it's cold inside. Therefore, the basic physiological structure of human beings is the mixture of cold and heat; The emergence of a disease is also a mixture of excess and deficiency, cold and heat.

Tian Yuan: Simply put, when the weather is coldest, the "heat dissipation function" of the human body will be very weak. At this time, the more heat enters standby, the more serious the internal heat will be. So many young people can't wear clothes in winter, and they also like to eat ice cream and watermelon. Because he is young, the summer heat in winter is more serious.

Tian:

This is a proverb of China, "Yang is hidden".

Tian Yuan: This is the law of motion of celestial bodies and yin and yang. When it's cold outside, the heat will come back. When it was hot outside, the cold came back. This is heaven.

Tian:

That's right.

Tian Yuan: Your life is very simple now.

Tian:

It's very simple. Simple tea and light rice will do. It is best to drink porridge at night.

Tian Yuan: What is the diet like in winter?

Tian:

Under normal circumstances, I need to regulate my cold and heat. For example, use some medlar and longan meat. I want to make it up, but I must cook it with pears. The weather is hot and cold. It must be like this.

Tian Yuan: One way to stay healthy in winter is to keep your body from getting too hot.

Tian:

That's right. Why are cardiovascular diseases and cor pulmonale the most common before and after the Great Cold? Just made it up. In the first half of the year, I have always stressed that everyone can pay attention this winter, especially the elderly.

Tian:

Too many! I call cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases seasonal diseases, which are most likely to occur at this time. So the north sometimes makes food. The south is different from our north. In the south, first of all, the heat in their bodies is not as high as that in the north, because winter is lighter and the heat in their bodies is lighter.

This involves the problem of "compensation" of people now.

How should people make up for it?

Tian:

Another one is, where do you supplement the essence from the human body? The general understanding is to tonify kidney.

These problems are all in that sentence, "Heaven eats five gases, earth eats five flavors, and God is born".

The burnt place of human body is called "Huang Ting" by Taoism. In Neijing, it is clearly stated that "the method of storing qi is timely" and "the smell is consistent with it to supplement the essence." "Where did the essence come from?

Tian Yuan: This is still a question of combining acquired and innate.

Tian:

That's right. Qi is "heaven eats people and five qi"; It means "Heaven eats people with five flavors". After the combination of the two, it can supplement the poor gas. What about these words? Teachers who write textbooks may not understand them and may throw them away.

Tian Yuan: Neijing is like a centenarian. He told us a central idea again and again. No matter which chapter or section, this sentence appears repeatedly, earnestly trying to wake us up and let us understand this truth.

Tian:

Yes, this is the core idea of Neijing, and Zhang Zhongjing also followed the idea of Neijing, so there is Jianzhong Decoction.

Tian Yuan: Your navel rubbing method is actually under construction.

Tian:

That's right. So I wrote the article "Blood Deficiency" in Synopsis of the Golden Chamber. After people lose sperm, physical weakness and blood deficiency are treated with Jianzhong decoction. Like men's nocturnal emission, they are all replenished from the middle energizer, not from the kidney.

Tian Yuan: The "essence" of human beings still needs to be supplemented by "Huang Ting". In this way, many potbellied people may be blocked by moderate coke. Therefore, the longevity of the elderly must first be unobstructed.

Tian:

That's right. This involves the question of where the human yang is, whether it is in the kidney or not. Neijing says well, "The so-called yang is also the yang of the stomach." 」

Tian Yuan: This sentence is very crucial. This Yang must be here. But why the upper abdomen?

Tian:

This involves the theoretical core of what I call "three parts and six meridians", because shaoyang is in the epigastric cavity.

Tian Yuan: It is equivalent to the "boiler" here.

Tian:

Alas, the "boiler" is here, so Yang is the yang of the stomach, and there is another saying that the limbs are the foundation of Yang. Because the spleen governs the limbs. So this time we know where Yang is, in the spleen and stomach.

Tian Yuan: This is also the core of Li Dongyuan's spleen and stomach theory. Or the day after tomorrow.

Tian:

That's right. Yang is not in the kidney at all. Now people are tonifying the kidney all day, with kidney yang deficiency and kidney yin deficiency, all day long.

Tian Yuan: In this case, if you want a tonic, you must consider the relationship between the five flavors, not that I ate Lycium barbarum today and Cordyceps tomorrow. This is called tonic.

Tian:

Be sure to consider the smell and taste. For example, the smell and taste in summer are different from those in autumn.

Tian Yuan: Four seasons health care needs four seasons principles and rules.

Tian:

Yes, that's why it's called "Four Seasons". Why not call it a season? So you have to read the classics. You see, I've been talking for a long time, but I haven't left Neijing and typhoid fever.

Tian Yuan: Your explanation of "luck" sounds brilliant. It is based on classics and easy to understand. Besides, what you are considering is how to apply the classics to your life, which directly affects the food, clothing, housing and transportation of ordinary people.

It's a cold season. In your opinion, what is the law of keeping in good health in the cold?

Tian:

Just like the severe cold, when the body is coldest and the internal heat is heaviest, when the body is healthy, there must be both warm things and heat-clearing things. But there are many things in Wenyang.

Because winter is cold, why are there so many cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases at this time? It is caused by a cold, and the cause and effect should be clarified.

Tian Yuan: Although it is very hot inside the body, it still needs to warm the yang, because "cold" is still a major contradiction. Wenyang is to resist the cold outside; But in the process of warming yang, add some coolness as a reconciliation, otherwise it will cause further fire, which is a big problem. This is a rule of keeping in good health in winter.

Tian:

Yes, if there is no cool harmony, the problem will be big. Therefore, we should pay attention to the proportion of warming yang and clearing heat. People's constitutions are different and cannot be generalized. So this involves another problem.

It is a natural law that physiological functions and kidneys should be cold in winter. If you make it hot, it will get sick. Moreover, at this time, the yang is hidden inside, so don't let it spread too much. Therefore, Neijing has been emphasizing that "you can't press stilts in winter". To put it bluntly, it is winter. Don't do anything to let the qi and blood spread out and let the sun be the spirit radiate. Be sure to hide it.

Tian Yuan: People have different physiques, so in winter, people often knock on their bodies. This problem is quite complicated, and I'm afraid Yang will be eliminated.

Tian:

Nowadays, pedicure shops and massage shops only press their feet when it is dark. For the night, just like winter, it is the time for the sun to hide. Do you think that will keep you healthy? Can never support life. This also belongs to the problem of "not walking on stilts in winter". Therefore, there is the saying of synopsis of the golden chamber. As long as you don't walk on stilts in winter, you won't get sick all year round. So now some doctors take hundreds of grams of dried ginger and aconite, most of which are irritating drugs. If they don't use them correctly, they can't solve their kidneys. How can spicy drugs settle them down?

Tian Yuan: It is a big principle not to move the kidneys easily when the body is relatively balanced. But there are too many patients now. For patients, should it be different from person to person, from illness to illness and from season to season?

Tian:

That's right. For patients, it is necessary to maintain the original "cool" nature of the kidney, but it should not be too cold. It is very important to maintain this scale, and it is absolutely impossible to completely radiate the hidden yang inside.

Tian Yuan: Returning to nature, northerners say "good weather, good weather and bright snow". The colder the snow falls, the better the harvest will be next year. It is because the cold hides the yang very well, and the quilt is thick enough to protect the underground temperature, which is enough to breed new life in the coming year.

Learning Chinese medicine is easy to learn but difficult to master.

In the vast ocean of learning, it seems that the door is empty, but in fact it is easy to fall into a pit without knowing it. Several years have passed and no real progress has been made.

How many Chinese medicine lovers, learning from each other, are always keeping in good health techniques or fragmented Chinese medicine theories, so they can't get a glimpse of the beauty of Chinese medicine philosophy, let alone master the essence of Chinese medicine clinic.

How many students in the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine can't learn the classic Chinese medicine such as Huangdi Neijing and Treatise on Febrile Diseases? When they graduate from clinical practice, they will only prescribe drugs according to textbooks. When I encounter incurable diseases, my eyes are wide open and I don't know where to start.
