Guo Zhengguo perked up after hearing this and couldn't hold back his excitement, "Teacher Zhuo, you are actually good at the 'prey' method?"

"Master has taught me." After Zhuo Jun finished speaking, he suddenly realized, "Oh, I forgot, I heard that Secretary Guo is also a master who likes to study food and health."

"No, no, I just think about it on weekdays. How dare I call myself a master in front of Teacher Zhuo!"

Guo Zhengguo has been involved in food and health care for 20 years, and he prides himself on being quite accomplished. He always likes to show off his skills when meeting old friends, and he is not well-known in the circle. However, after seeing Zhuo Jun, he was so amazing.

How could he dare to boast about his technical skills at this moment? He behaved very modestly and low-key.

"Okay, Lao Guo, stop hiding it." When Fang Zhengyuan first met him, he often heard him show off, so he smiled and added: "My dear nephew, you don't know, Secretary Guo

I love this so much that I am crazy about it. He has almost torn through all the ancient books on this subject in the library. When I talk about this, there is no end to it. But one thing I admire about him is that he is very good at learning and applying it.

Well, he has volunteered to help formulate the canteen recipes for nearly twenty schools in Yinshui District and Huanhe District of Zhongzhou City, and he still changes them once a week. It is not easy at such an old age...

…”

Oh? Zhuo Jun's eyes lit up, and his impression of Guo Zhengguo became a little better. He deliberately gave him some advice and asked with a smile: "What does Secretary Guo think about health preservation?"

Zhuo Jun said this, which implies some guidance for school entrance exams. If it were any other young man, Guo Zhengguo would probably turn his back directly, but facing Zhuo Jun, facing this person who just at a moment felt like...

Not only did Guo Zhengguo not take it seriously, but he also felt vaguely expectant and excited about the fairy-like figure on land. He felt like a straggler who had been fighting against the enemy alone for ten or twenty years and suddenly encountered a glorious and great organization. He considered his words and said:

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey. Let me talk about some of my humble opinions first. I hope Teacher Zhuo will correct me later. First of all, health preservation, the so-called sheng, means life, survival, and growth; the so-called nourishment means maintenance, recuperation, and nourishment.

Meaning. In fact, it is an activity that maintains life, enhances physical fitness, and prevents diseases through various methods, so as to achieve longevity."

Zhuo Jun nodded, "Continue."

"The theory of health preservation should first come from "Zhuangzi: The Master of Health Preservation". There is a saying that "the way to maintain the body and health is to maintain health." There is also a saying of "the way of life and health" in "Lu Shi Chun Qiu". Since 610 AD

, the imperial physician ordered Chao Yuanfang to list the health-preserving prescriptions in the book "Treatise on the Causes and Symptoms of Various Diseases", starting with 231 Daoyin methods. Countless health-preserving works have appeared throughout the dynasties, such as "Yinshan Zhengyao", "Yinshan Zhengyao"

"The Method of Taking Qi to Live Longevity and Fasting Grain", "Collection on Dietary Drinking", etc., mainly discuss the ways of keeping healthy from the relationship between the nature and taste of food, the effect of nourishing the kidneys and the state of the human body, the weather, climate, geographical area, etc., including dieting, fasting, etc.

content……"

Zhuo Jun was confused by what he heard. As expected of an academic teacher, he had been talking for a long time and it was all nonsense without any substantive content. He couldn't help but interrupt and said: "...Uh, Secretary Guo, yourself

What’s your understanding?”

"The Nei Jing says, 'The foundation of life is based on yin and yang', and it also says, 'The secret of yin and yang is that the spirit governs'..."

Probably seeing Fang Zhengyuan's yawn and Zhuo Jun's eyes rolling, Guo Zhengguo's face turned red and he couldn't show off anymore. He coughed and said concisely: "Based on my rough understanding over the years, health care should include the coordination of yin and yang, and the circulation of qi and blood.

, the five basic principles and key points of cultivating essence and qi, abstaining from sex and preserving essence, and harmonizing the five flavors. The various methods extended from this mainly include five methods: regulating the mind, breathing in, guiding, eating food, and preserving essence!

"

"Then what does Secretary Guo think about food and health care? Well, try to explain it as concisely as possible..." Zhuo Jun pondered for a moment and asked.

"First of all, I think that food regimen appeared very early, and the predecessors attached great importance to it. It is no worse than regulating the mind, breathing, guiding and preserving essence. It is said in "Essential Prescriptions for Emergency Preparedness",'

Food can expel evil spirits, soothe the internal organs, rejuvenate emotions and refresh the mind, and nourish qi and blood. This shows that the ancients attached great importance to diet and health."

"Secondly, when eating food to maintain health, two major principles need to be followed: First, to identify the appropriate and taboos of food. "The Synopsis of the Golden Chamber" once pointed out: 'Any food that tastes good is to nourish life, and if it is not eaten properly, it will cause harm...

If it is good for the body, if it is harmful, it will cause illness, which will cause danger.' It shows that there is a dialectical relationship between diet and human health, which is appropriate and taboo, benefit and harm. Therefore, distinguishing the appropriate and taboo of diet is one of the principles of food nutrition. Generally speaking,

Come on, those with a hot body constitution should eat cool food and avoid warm food; those with a cold body constitution should eat warm food and avoid cold food; people with a flat body should eat a balanced diet and avoid eating cold food. The second is a balanced diet, as the ancients said, it is the foundation of a healthy life.

Food is essential. Our human body has many needs for nutrients. A diet containing a variety of rich nutrients can promote the growth and development of the body, delay the occurrence of aging, and reduce various diseases caused by aging.

, Therefore, the preparation of meals in food and health care must be as comprehensive, reasonable, and complementary as possible, that is, the principle of a balanced diet..."

"Finally, I think that dietary food has only played a supporting role in the entire health system since ancient times and has not occupied a dominant position. Especially in recent years, it has declined and has been gradually replaced by the rising craze of nourishing the mind, qigong, and yoga.

The Fangshu craze...has completely taken away development opportunities and space. Alas, it makes those of us who are passionate about the art of food very disappointed!"

After Guo Zhengguo finished speaking, he sighed sincerely. This time Zhuo Jun reminded me, but it was rare for him to be clear and concise.

When he came back to his senses, he immediately looked like a primary school student facing the final test, and asked Zhuo Jun anxiously and a little uneasily, "...What do you think, Teacher Zhuo, of what I just said?"

At this moment, even Fang Zhengyuan, who had been drowsy by Guo Zhengguo's eloquent quotations from ancient Yujin, suddenly became energetic. He sat up straight and pricked up his ears, wanting to hear what Zhuo Jun would say.

, and what kind of high-level arguments will be said.

"Regarding the origin of the inheritance of health preservation, Secretary Guo has learned everything from ancient times to modern times. I admire this very much."

Zhuo Jun smiled and said: "Since we are just sitting here talking, I won't say any more polite words. There are four main points I want to say: First, the health preservation mentioned by Secretary Guo can actually be simply summed up as using non-drug methods.

To achieve the knowledge of improving self-healing ability. In fact, this is only health preservation in a narrow sense. In fact, the entire theory of traditional Chinese medicine is health preservation in a broad sense. Of course, the traditional Chinese medicine mentioned here refers to original Chinese medicine, not "a wise king"

Kangxi's so-called 'modern Chinese medicine' has changed beyond recognition after castrating Chinese civilization..."

"Secondly, there are seven traditional health-preserving methods. In addition to the five methods of regulating the mind, vomiting, guiding, feeding, and preserving essence that Secretary Guo summarized, there are also Tianfeeding and fumigation. Tianfeeding is a method of maintaining health.

One of the seven methods is easily overlooked. This method emphasizes the 'correspondence between heaven and man' and the 'unity of form and spirit'. Humans and nature are interdependent, but they themselves are greatly affected by the nature of heaven and earth. A suitable place to live, in addition to being secluded

In addition, clean and sufficient water sources, fresh air, abundant sunshine, good vegetation, quiet and beautiful landscapes and other conditions are also needed. Fumigation treatment is to apply medicines, wear herbs, etc., to achieve the purpose of removing darkness and clearing away heat with fragrance.

It has the functions of detoxifying, sleeping soundly, preventing epidemics, purifying the air, improving sub-health, repelling mosquitoes and insects, beautifying and beautifying the skin, etc. It can be said to be a universal health formula for today’s urban life.”

"Third, the way of 'feeding', in my opinion, is actually the core path of health preservation. Because for most people in the world, they will never be able to come into contact with the real 'tune the mind', 'exhale', and 'guide'

' and 'preservation of essence', these are secrets that are not passed down by various sects, and there is no financial condition to pursue an excellent 'natural feeding' place, let alone one that is mysterious and extremely time-consuming and money-consuming.

Fumigation is the secret medicine. Food is the most important thing for people, and this is the most common and normal way to maintain health. Food includes food habits, food nutrition, diet therapy, food festivals, dietary taboos and medicinal nutrition, etc. Even Taoists have passed down from generation to generation.

The golden elixir avenue, that is, the art of external elixirs, all belong to the health-preserving medicine of food, also known as the 'fairy taking bait'... Therefore, Secretary Guo, you don't need to be depressed. What you have devoted yourself to research is health-preserving.

Among the seven methods, it is the core path that can truly popularize and benefit ordinary people around us!"

"Fourth, times have changed. Studying the works inherited by the ancients, being familiar with the characteristics of the established ingredients, proficient in the 'suits, taboos and balance', and being able to reasonably combine health-preserving recipes were okay in the past, but now they are somewhat outdated. In foreign countries,

The toxicity, nutrition, calories, sugar, protein...all the imaginable and unexpected things of the ingredients have been quantified through a lot of practice and experiments, and they are matched according to the "pros and cons, balance", which is more accurate and easy to master. Moreover,

Through these studies, symbols, formulas and numbers were used to intuitively and clearly show the basic principles and truth of "why should and should not be avoided, and why should the balance be balanced" between different ingredients and medicines. This gave rise to a new 'Tao'... Secretary Guo

You should really go abroad to read it when you have time. If these precious works passed down by our ancestors are Tao, and what is developing day by day outside is art, Tao generates art, and art serves the purpose of Tao. They complement each other and are indispensable.

…”

At the end of Zhuo Jun's words, his tone was already a little heavy, because he suddenly recalled the extremely rare desolate look on his face when his master said this that day:

"You must always remember: Tao is the spirit of art, and art is the body of Tao; use Taoism to unify art, and use art to gain the Tao. You must not be biased and neglected...I am not belittling myself when I tell you this, nor am I flattering foreigners. In fact, I am always

The things of our ancestors are profound and profound, and it is difficult to learn them in a lifetime, but when you see your shortcomings, you still have to change and improve them. I understand it too late, and I am old, and I can’t afford to discuss it with the younger generations, but I hope you can
