China's traditional Chinese medicine reported

        Ji kang's (224-263), at the end of the great poet of the wei, writer, quite has the theory of health unique insights. Ruan ji and ji kang's and mountain, to the show, RuanXian out, WangRong, LiuLing wit and other literature are very good friends, they often in bamboo forest and landscape between the harp and chanting, open about drink, so the later people usually call them "bamboo forest QiXian".

        Ji kang's life in in the wei, young father died, family circumstances very poor, but he was fond of reading. According to chapter ·'s biography of records, ji kang's is a typical handsome man, tall and clear, handsome, jade tree face breeze, I was looking wit. He is married to Sue mears legend cao long LeTing princess for his wife. After the obvious mistake, he only live more than 40 years old.

        Ji kang's Confucian thoughts from accept influence, and deep inside have a strong political ambition. But the situation in the turmoil of his ideal burst, so he began to focus on the quality of life of people, zhuangzi philosophy, bentham school of thought, and will these thoughts as their hopes to return to the spirit. His article "health theory" is a famous health articles and far-reaching influence. "The health of" main reflects the Taoist "doing nothing complacent, body wonderful heart, forget huan and then joy xuan foot, the expense of life and save after the" thought.

        Ji kang's design for a very effective way of longevity, wanted to be a rare person, but his unruly character, and although is too high, recruit people jealous, was eventually against death. Otherwise, for his health theory can provide a proof of the example. Good at his health is kept down long life experience. Ji kang's room is further research in essence.

        A stitch in time saves nine maintenance vigour

        Ji kang's although live in troubled times, but he advocated zhuangzi, have their own a unique set of preserve one's health of the ropes. Ji kang's think, why I can longevity is to pay attention at ordinary times, in not sick before, from the subtle maintain oneself. For as long as health sciences, guide a wisely, make life as far as possible the potential of the play, then who can live a long life to over years old, the life can be lived under hundreds of years. This can be achieved by hard work. Just the world not fine guide to support the art, so can achieve this kind of life. Don't usually pay attention, not a stitch in time saves nine, damage the physiological thing to do too much, will accumulate small damage as much damage, from function decline to hair turned white, and then to the seams, ZhongDao die of don't know why because and die.

        The "yellow emperor · four gas adjustment of god is great," said: "saints medicine has disease to is not ill, medicine has a cure disease has not disorderly... husband into and then drug, disorderly already into and then rule, judah and wear well has thirst, and cast a cone, not also late!"

        This passage mean: saint not cure the disease has been formed, but has not been formed disease treatment; Not governance has happened of confusion, but has not yet occurred over the chaos. The disease has been formed and medicine, mess has occurred and then to undertake administrative, as if feel thirsty began to cut the well, the battle has started just thought of casting weapon, is all not have late?

        That is, all things have accumulated by quantitative change to the process of gradual development practices, once produce a qualitative change is very hard to do again, or even impossible. It must be in subtle revelation people come, to nip in the bud.

        Ji kang's thought, the objective world all things are by the original is the most and of generation. Power is all things the substantial basis of the formation of, also is the life. Yuan for kidney gas reservoir. The sinews of kidney strong, the body is strong, the service life is long; The sinews of kidney weak, the body is weak, life is short. Innate endowment received from parents, we can't change, but the day after tomorrow to give the conservation of different body, life is not the same. So "do small and not for profit, not to is too small and to". Each of us should a stitch in time saves nine, early prevention, vigorously for longevity.

        Maintenance of the original method:

        Precious few words, within a breath;

        Both quit lust, raise essence;

        The three thin taste, raise the flesh;

        Four of the body fluid pharynx, raised the dirty breath;

        The five ring anger, keep diseases;

        The six little thought, a temper;

        Seven is seldom at ShiYu, keep it.

        Form and a concept from the form

        Spirit and form a human life is an integral part of the two aspects. People life activities of sum up can be divided into two categories: the physiological activities and mental activities. Among them, the spiritual activities in the whole activity up and coordinating functions of captain.

        Form is always the Taoist high and generally view is "god" over "form". Ji kang's argues that, however, resting with keep form should pay equal attention to. Ji kang's in the theory of keeping in good health, "said: form rely on spirit and foundation, with the physical and spiritual existence. Understand easily lose the chance of survival, know a fault can also damage the life, so to uniting the temperament to maintain through spirit, through the stability to sound mind body, cherish and odious don't with emotion inside, sorrow and joy and do not reside in the mind, without any desire from quiet, can a healthy body, the harmonic qi. Daily regimen is to make the body and spirit combine closely, list to coordinate each other between the state. Good health, the authority-in-charge shall form and to raise, axiomatization, must pay attention to the form and god is harmonious and unified, only in this way can we ensure ShouYu years.

        The body and spirit two aspects, the ancient traditional thought, god is the life upon which root, god destroy the form wu, health will heavy party.

        Ji kang's will also spirit and form the parable of the image: spirit relative to body is a country to have a monarch. Spirit in the body rashness disorderly, the external form does not exist also does not have what meaning, like high above the monarch of the fatuous incompetence, so his dominion country must also confusion and clinking. The metaphor of the image explained the spirit on the form master effect, we learned a spirit of preserve one's health at all.

        Ji kang's think, keeping in good health have five difficult: don't destroy fame and wealth, a difficult also; In addition to his, the ErNan also; Timbres, don't go the three difficulties in authorship; On the taste, the SiNan also; Trust god lifts, and the five difficult also.

        "Five difficult" look from content, involves the spirit, gentle disposition, food and so on, essentially refers to the five kinds of greed. How to drive to the five, ji kang's believe human longevity, the key is that don't make their own for six exogenous evils wounded by crackling, fame, wealth,, and so can fit to longevity. The world often think a angry enough to violations temperament, a sad enough to damage the body, so easily let this happen. This is like ShangShang king happened under drought period, if there are any of the fields HeMiao can get a more water irrigation, although the piece of land HeMiao will eventually die, but still can prolong its life. So, absolutely not despise this time the function of irrigation. Knowledge with the similar, "five" difficult except not, will damage the body, difficult to longevity and health.

        Obviously, ji kang's hate sorrow xi attributed to abandon indifferent to, the purpose of which is to control mood. This is a must for a healthy scientific reason.

        Today's people to maintain spirit health should do the following:

        1. Strengthen their self-cultivation to life and to the society have a correct attitude, correct observation analysis objective things, calm, safely dealing with various kinds of problems, with reason instead of feeling, let not realistic idea and requirements.

        2. Cultivate optimistic attitude towards life. Whatever difficulties and setbacks, should be optimistic and positive attitude to face, believe that there must be some way to solve the problem, and brave enough to face reality, is diligently enterprising, full of confidence and hope for the future, and never be disappointed. Take such optimism usually will produce positive emotions.

        3. Broad-minded, the manner is tolerant, friendly, do well the interpersonal relationship, the creation loose harmonious environment.

        4. Learn to control your temper, restrained or adjust their own anger, avoid ecstasy, rage, they will not emotional, want to be good at use reason to control his emotions, appropriate to vent bad mood. For instance, to the friend pours her troubles and sorrow, and so on, and this helps eliminate heart troubles, depressed, and thus to calm. The vent on the mental health is good.

        5. Actively participate in the social activities as, adjust the emotional, improve the friendship. To keep things appropriate tension and enthusiasm. Tension is a kind of mood, it can maintain and improve the learning, the work efficiency. If the exam is generated when tension, can make the brain function at the highest efficiency state; At ordinary times class or do something, and also need to keep proper nervous. Over allfunction completed will make life more rhythm and interest.
