Everyone who studies Chinese medicine cannot do without the book Huangdi Neijing. Why is this book written more than 2000 years ago regarded as a classic? Why is this ancient book still regarded as a standard in the era of rapid technological progress? In fact, there is a certain scientific truth. For ordinary people, the ancient prose of Huangdi Neijing may appear abstruse and obscure. I tried to translate a passage for you in humorous and popular language. After reading it, you will naturally understand where its advanced nature lies.
Huangdi asked: I heard that a long time ago, people could live to be over 100 and still scamper. Now people over 50 are too weak. Is this young man not good?
Qi Bo replied: A long time ago, people were healthy dogs. They live according to the natural rhythm. When they have nothing to do, they keep healthy. They eat on time, eat seven or eight minutes full, don't sleep late, and don't have much sex, so they live long. But now young people, alas! Drinking wine as a drink, overeating, eating without a meal, staying up late has become a daily routine, drunk and incoherent, and loves to watch island action movies. I don't know how to control myself. I always do things that are detrimental to my nature, and I will be exhausted one day. Is 50 years old worth it?
The Yellow Emperor said: You are right, I can't refute it.
At first glance, Qi Bo seems to be a well-meaning parent in your WeChat, constantly sending you health knowledge in the family group. Let you take care of yourself.
Young people may not understand, but people over the age of 30 may deeply understand the harm that bad living habits bring to life. It is very meaningful to read this passage in Huangdi Neijing.
First of all, in the first paragraph, did there really exist an era when everyone was 100 years old? It seems unreal. But now science has proved that there is a biological enzyme called telomere in human DNA, which will decrease after each division. The existence of telomeres means that the human body will eventually age. Combined with the division cycle and times of human cells, it can be inferred that the life expectancy of human beings is about 120 years old. I can't help but let us think about it.
The Nobel Prize in Biology was awarded in 20 17. "Discovery explains how plants, animals and humans can synchronize with the earth's rotation by adjusting their biological rhythms." Scientist. They found that the biological clock regulates important functions of the human body. When our lifestyle is always against the biological clock, the risk of various diseases will increase.
Gastropathy, pancreatitis, diabetes, hypertension and tumors caused by overeating have long been proved by modern medicine and are well known to the public.
As for too much sex, old drivers know it.
Go back and read this excerpt from Huangdi Neijing again. Are you impressed by the wisdom of the ancients and still think that Chinese medicine is unscientific?
The original text is attached as follows:
It is said that ancient people are 100 years old in the Spring and Autumn Period, but their mobility is not diminished; People now, half a century later, have failed in sports, which is different from the times? Will people miss it?
Qi Bo said to him, "Those who know the Dharma in ancient times are based on Yin and Yang, and they are based on several tricks. They eat and drink regularly, live regularly and don't work rashly, so they can live in harmony with God, and they live to 100 years old. " . Today's people, on the other hand, take wine as their pulp, act recklessly, get drunk at home, exhaust their essence, dissipate their truth, don't know how to hold their full, always keep their gods, speed up their hearts, go against the joy of life, and be unrestrained, so they will fail at half a hundred.
