After discussing the five internal organs, this paper puts forward the view that it is normal to have four seasons of yin and yang in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the disease begins with overuse. Its general meaning refers to the alternation of spring, summer, autumn and winter in nature. The change of Yin and Yang in the four seasons has its own regularity, and excessive use of body and mind will damage healthy qi, and then it will not adapt to this law and get sick.
From a broader perspective, this view is actually of universal significance, that is, regardless of internal injuries or exogenous diseases, their onset "starts from overuse", which is of great guiding significance for health preservation and disease prevention. Therefore, the author combs, analyzes and summarizes the phenomenon of "overuse" of human body. The specific contents are as follows, for reference and discussion only.
"second-hand" machine
The concept of pathogenesis in TCM particularly emphasizes the leading role of vital qi in the process of pathogenesis, such as "the vital qi exists in the interior, and the evil cannot be done" proposed in "Su Wen Acupuncture Theory in Huangdi Neijing" and "the combination of evil qi will lead to deficiency of qi" proposed in "Su Wen Fever Theory in Huangdi Neijing". This shows that healthy qi is the root of the disease, and evil is the basic pathogenesis of the disease.
The main reason for the deficiency of vital qi is "overuse", and then it occurs through injury or attenuation. The main forms are as follows:
Damage. Improper behavior in life can directly cause substantial damage to the human body, such as: lifting weights lightly, exercising excessively, directly damaging bones and muscles, directly damaging the spleen and stomach due to drunkenness and satiety, syncope or blood collateral damage due to anger, frostbite due to cold, heatstroke due to overheating, and poisoning due to drug overdose. Of course, due to different degrees, these improper behaviors will gradually damage the viscera.
Consumption. "Overuse" will consume the qi, blood, yin and yang that sustain life activities, resulting in "overdraft", and then lose balance and form diseases. For example, if you work too much, sweat too much, or excrete too much, you will consume gas and yin; Eating too much and catching cold, or dressing with less cold and catching cold, will disperse yang; If you think too much, you will consume the blood of sadness, leading to the loss of mind and temper, which will lead to the disorder of flowers.
All kinds of life activities that disturb the human body are dominated by the five internal organs, and they can also have an impact on the five internal organs. For example, the disorder of three meals and the impermanence of hunger often lead to the disorder of assimilation; When the morning and dusk are reversed, it is easy to cause yin-yang imbalance;
Inadvertent emotion or improper temperature and warmth can lead to qi disorder, that is, in Huangdi Neijing, Su Wen's theory of giving pain puts forward that "anger leads to qi stagnation, joy leads to qi stagnation, sadness leads to qi depression, fear leads to qi disorder, fatigue leads to qi consumption, and thinking leads to qi stagnation".
Stop. The qi and blood of the human body are in an endless state. Qi is handsome in blood, while qi circulation is blood circulation, and qi stagnation is blood stasis. Anger, thinking, sadness, etc. It will cause blood stasis, qi stagnation, blood stasis, and over time, it will be addictive.
The harm of "overuse"
Generally speaking, various functional activities of human life, although there are differences among individuals, will have a corresponding and approximate "degree". If the activity exceeds the limit, it will do harm to the human body.
Seven injuries (spleen injured by satiety, liver injured by anger, heavy lifting, kidney injured by sedentary wetland, lung injured by cold drink, worry and sadness, wind and rain, and great fear) are common examples of "overwork".
