Traditional Chinese medicine winter way of nourishing Tibet

China medical journal December 07, 2016

Winter weather is cold, winter sun should be sealed. Therefore, su wen specifically mentions a question about Tibet. Winter march raises Tibet, autumn march raises to receive, it is autumn winter raises Yin mutual term actually. For example, "on the occasion of winter march, this issue was discussed:" in winter march, this is called closed hiding. Water and ice on the earth undisturbed by the sun. If you lie down early and wake up late, you will have to wait for the sun. The reverse of kidney injury, spring for impotence and convulsion, serve less.

This chapter of su wen talks about the "four qi to adjust god". The four qi refer to the spring, summer, autumn and winter qi, and refer to the life, growth, collection (killing) and the hidden qi. It's the human element. How do people adapt to this anger in spring and march, how do they adapt to this long qi in summer and march, how do they adapt to this collection (killing) qi in autumn and how do they adapt to this hidden qi in winter and march? This puts forward to want to keep healthy, raise grow, raise receive, raise Tibet. Now people only talk about a health, and raise long, raise close, raise Tibet to ignore, this is very one-sided.

How does winter march raise Tibet? The key point is not to disturb the sun.

Without disturbing the sun, refers to the winter in March Yang qi has been closed, do not disturb it. Just like when we stay in a hotel, we need to turn on a "do not disturb" button when we sleep. What does it feel like to fall asleep and be disturbed to wake up again? I believe we all have the experience. So, how to achieve this "no disturbance of the sun"? The above text talks about four aspects.

One, careful living. Winter march living should be "early lie up late, must be in the sun". Winter march should go to bed a little earlier, get up a little later, this is "inside classics" teach evidence.

Winter early lie up late is to adapt to raise Tibet. Sleep itself is a kind of very good Tibet state, winter march is strong recuperate Tibet, the time of morpheus is about to be lengthened appropriately of course. Winter march, the time of day is short, the time of night is long, it is the state that reflects a Tibet, the person wants to want to be corresponding with this Tibet, that must lie early rise late. Traditional Chinese medicine often says that heaven and man correspond, how to correspond? Winter raises Tibet to be corresponding, winter march "lie early rise late, must wait for sunshine" be corresponding. Time is important if you want to talk about correspondence. Heaven and earth at this time to collect, you also want to collect at this time; Heaven and earth will be released at this time, and you will be released at this time. When it comes to specific problems, sleeping is collecting and working is releasing. Now a lot of people are used to working at night and sleeping during the day, which is not corresponding, and the Yin and Yang are upside down, which is definitely bad for the body. It may not matter when you are young, but when you are old, you will feel it.

Second, adjust the mood. The sentiment of winter march should be "make the ambition if furtive if nihile, if have private intention, if already had". Here "zhi" has two meanings. One is to talk about the heart, is the heart of ambition, "kangxi dictionary" cloud: the heart of what is called ambition. The second is about emotions. In zuo zhuan, emotions, sorrows, joys and dislikes are called the six wills. So we call it sentiment. At this time the feelings should be "if the furor or nirvana", whether it is hidden or hidden, refers to the hidden. So, the sentiment of this time should collect a few, not so open, not so conspicuous. We usually advise people to be cheerful, but this time should tend to introversion. "If you have a private intention," what words, what plans do not tell others, just hide in the heart. "If you have it," this thing seems to have been, no longer need to go outside to seek, can quietly settle. In a word, this will, this emotion, should be hidden, should not make public, so as to be conducive to raising Tibet.

Third, suitable for cold temperature. Winter march to "go cold and warm." Cold is winter gas, cold is reservoir gas. In winter, especially in the north, people are wrapped in cotton-padded clothes, not only wearing gloves and hats, but also wearing scarves, closed tightly, this dress is a "hide", the whole body closed up, closed up. This is also the corresponding, and the corresponding winter Tibet, this is the Yang Tibet. Of course, there are other ways to keep warm.

Fourth, the movement of the section. Winter in March should be "no leakage of skin, strong desire to seize", leakage of the skin is the opening of the skin. You know, when does your skin leak? It's a time of intense activity, of course. Skin opened, natural sweat, sweat out more, will consume gas injury Yang strong desire to seize. Winter march is when Yang qi closes Tibet, this time the skin also should close Tibet accordingly, do not do too much open drain. This suggests that winter sports, winter activities have its particularity. The person that likes athletic exercise especially should notice this problem, winter exercise should avoid excessive ground to open discharge skin, should do static work more, just as such ability and winter are corresponding, be helpful for raise Tibet.
