Essence, also known as essence, is the most basic substance that constitutes the human body, promotes human growth and development, and maintains human life activities, and is the source of life. The golden chamber said, "the essence of a husband is the foundation of life." As far as the source of essence is concerned, there are congenital and acquired points: congenital essence comes from the reproductive essence of parents and is the genetic material of life inherited from parents. It is born and hidden in the kidney. Before birth, it is an important substance to form life (embryo) and the origin of life; After birth, it is the material basis for human growth and reproduction. For example, "Lingshu itself" said: "Life is called essence." "Soul Pivot Exhales" said: "The two gods fought and merged. They are often born first, which is called essence. " The essence of the day after tomorrow comes from the essence of Shui Gu, which is the metaplasia of the spleen and stomach. Kidney governs storing essence.
It means that the kidney has the function of storing and sealing sperm, which is the most important physiological function of the kidney. Its physiological function is not lost for no reason, but depends on the coordination of sealing and stimulating kidney qi. "Su Wen. The theory of dirty images says in section six that "the kidney governs the sting, seals the root and hides the essence." "

Such as "Lingshu". The God said, "Life is the essence." Soul fulcrum "Decisive Qi" said: "Er Shen fought and merged. They are often born first, which is called essence. " The essence of the day after tomorrow comes from the essence of Shui Gu, which is the metaplasia of the spleen and stomach. After birth, the nutrients absorbed by the body from the diet through the transportation of the spleen and stomach are called "acquired essence". The function of acquired essence transmitted through temper is to "fill all directions", which is the essence of viscera. The essence of each viscera becomes the qi of each viscera, thus promoting and regulating the physiological function of the viscera. After the essence of each viscera supports its physiological function, the rest are transported and stored in the kidney to supplement the innate essence, such as Su Wen. The ancient theory of innocence said: "Kidney governs water and hides in the essence of five internal organs." Therefore, the composition of kidney essence is mainly congenital essence, supplemented by some acquired essence. Congenital essence is the main component of kidney essence, and acquired essence only plays a nourishing role, so the kidney qi transformed by kidney essence also belongs to congenital qi, that is, vitality.
The essence of Grade One and Grade Two helps and serves each other, belonging to the kidney. After birth, the "acquired essence" depends on the energy support of the "innate essence", that is, it depends on the promotion and support of kidney qi, kidney yin and kidney yang, so as to reconcile spleen yin and spleen yang and make them constantly transform, so as to nourish the whole body, viscera and their body organs; The innate essence also depends on the continuous cultivation and nourishment of the essence transformed from the acquired spleen and stomach, so that it can be filled up day by day and give full play to its physiological function. In addition, when the body develops to a certain stage and the reproductive function is mature, the kidney essence can be converted into reproductive essence. If kidney-qi deficiency and sperm storage function decline, it can lead to sperm loss for no reason and pathological changes such as nocturnal emission and premature ejaculation, which is called kidney failure and sperm storage. However, if the stimulating effect of kidney qi decreases, or the function of liver qi is abnormal, reproductive essence can not be transformed and excreted.
"Su Wen. The theory of innocence in ancient times described the evolution of kidney qi from never filling to gradually filling, from filling to gradual decline and then to failure: "The woman is seven years old, full of kidney qi and has long teeth. On the 27 th, the pulse passed, the pulse was too strong, the moon was in the present, and there was a son. Sanqi, kidney qi is general, so real teeth are born and grow. 47. Strong bones and muscles, extremely long hair and strong body. On May 7th, Yangming's pulse failed, his face began to burn and his hair began to fall off. Sixty-seven, the upper part of Sanyang pulse declines, the face is burnt, and the hair begins to turn white. On July 7, the pulse was weak, the pulse was too weak, the sky was exhausted, and the tunnel was impassable, so the shape difference was childless. My husband is eight years old, full of kidney qi, with long hair and long teeth. Twenty-eight, the kidney is full of qi, the sky is full, the essence overflows, and the yin and yang are harmonious, so you can have children. 38, the kidney is general, the bones and muscles are strong, so the real teeth are born and long. Forty-eight, strong bones and muscles, strong body. 58, kidney qi failure, tooth loss. Sixty-eight-year-old, yang failure in the upper body, burning face, white hair. Seventy-eight, liver qi failure, muscle immobility, exhaustion of the sky, lack of sperm, kidney failure, excellent health. Eight or eight, and then the teeth were sent. "
