We can often see the word "Pigu" in fantasy novel or TV series, and I believe most friends will not understand its meaning when they see this word. After all, this word does not belong to our common words, so today I will introduce the meaning of this word to you!
The earliest record of 0 1 Bigu originated from "A Happy Tour in Zhuangzi": "There are immortals and people living in the mountains. If the skin is ice and snow, it is like a virgin, not eating grains, sucking wind and drinking dew, traveling around the world by flying dragons ... "As a way to prolong life, it is also recorded in many ancient books.
The main way to avoid eating food and gas is to use long and soft breathing. This method comes from bionic breathing, so it is also called turtle breath. Taoism believes that the tortoise lives long because it "eats gas". Qi circulates in the human body and is indispensable. The movement of Qi contains the deepest secrets of the human body. The ancient book says that "the meat eater is brave, the grain eater is clever, the gas eater lives by God, and the non-eater lives by God". Practicing "convincing" before crossing the valley can not only resist the hunger and weakness caused by fasting, but also make people energetic and prolong life.
According to Yi Jian, a famous qigong master in the Three Kingdoms period, "I hunted when I was young and starved in an empty grave. I saw a chinemys reevesii in the grave, counted it, turned around, took a breath with my mouth open, or leaned back. " Thrift is also known as the tortoise can guide, but I try to do what the tortoise does, so I am no longer hungry. More than a hundred days, quite bitter. Later generations occasionally peep at the grave and come out frugally. After that, I can die. "In the course of thousands of years, there are many schools of divination, which have formed complex methods of eating gas, such as taking gas from Yin Zhenren, Taiwei Yi, Wu Tai, Maoshan, Taiqing Wang's oral intake, and really taking gas from the inside, Lingbao and so on. They have different functions and methods, but their basic core is still gentle and slender breathing and breathing.
