Dinner is still a stew, or soup. Several other ingredients have occasionally changed these days, but ginseng, sweet potato and yam vermicelli are always the protagonist.
Like breakfast this morning, Xu Guangling also ate more for dinner, um, half as much as yesterday.
The two old men didn't ask in the morning. At this time, Mr. Chen said casually: "Boy, your appetite has increased again?"
Well, Mr. Chen’s title has changed again.
Xu Guangling was awarded the title of "boy".
Although it was Mr. Chen who asked, Mr. Zhang also turned his concerned eyes over at the same time, so at the dinner table, Xu Guangling nodded to the two old men, "Yes."
Xu Guangling didn't say much. In fact, he didn't have much to say.
The two old men didn't ask any more questions. Again, they had nothing to ask.
After the meal, they still started walking, with Mr. Chen taking the lead, followed by Mr. Zhang, and then Xu Guangling.
But to be honest, if we take this step now, for Xu Guangling, most of the effects will be on digestion.
After digestion, it’s time to go to class.
This is the absolute center of gravity.
In the study room, the three of them sat opposite each other as usual.
As soon as Zhang Lao opened his mouth, he went straight to the point without even a hint of nonsense. Of course, this is actually his habit these days.
"The human body is a self-consistent system and has strong self-healing capabilities. What it needs is normal operation and the material support required for normal operation. I would like to explain my words."
If Mr. Zhang had asked this yesterday, Xu Guangling would have thought about it for a while.
But after last night's summary, it was logical to answer this question. Xu Guangling smiled in his heart. The old man said he didn't check his homework, but in fact he checked it anyway, that is at this time.
"Eat well, sleep well, but don't overwork. Leave everything else to the body to manage on its own." Xu Guangling replied.
This is what Xu Guangling felt last night.
It seems simple, but in fact it is not simple at all, and there are not many people who can fully implement these three points.
Not much really.
It can even be said to be rare!
Let’s take the first point as an example. The most basic requirement for eating well is to eat neither too much nor too little.
Isn't it simple?
Simple.
However, the fact is that some people are greedy for the lust of words, and some are greedy for the feeling of fullness. They eat too much without knowing it. Meal after meal, today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, they unknowingly become the fattest among the little fatties.
Fat people, on the other hand, want to lose weight, but in the end they do not lose much fat, but the body's internal organs and the like are damaged due to lack of material supply. It can be said that the loss outweighs the gain.
This is just the "quantity" aspect.
In addition to quantity or quality, that is, in addition to the importance of how much to eat, there is also what to eat, even when to eat, and how many meals to eat.
Any one of these is actually a big topic, involving many aspects of knowledge, and it is by no means a simple conclusion.
The same goes for the other two items.
After hearing Xu Guangling's answer, the two old men smiled. Mr. Zhang nodded slightly and said seriously: "I would like to say, this is the basic purpose of traditional Chinese medicine. It has never changed for thousands of years.
To sum it up in one word, it’s ‘auxiliary’.”
"Assist in the normal functioning of the body."
"Its fundamental direction is not to cure diseases, but to prevent the body from getting sick, which is what most people call 'don't cure the disease, but treat the disease before it's there.'"
Xu Guangling nodded.
His thinking and summary last night gave him a basic understanding of this issue.
Children, because their bodies have not yet grown up, and the main development direction of their bodies is growth, so their resistance to the outside world is relatively weak and they are prone to illness. This is easy to understand, just like a small tree is easily blown down and broken by strong winds and heavy rains.
Same.
In the elderly, the body's energy and blood are weakening.
Children's bodies have abundant Qi and blood, but they are mainly used for growth. Elderly people do not have sufficient Qi and blood, so the two are actually in the same situation. Therefore, the elderly are as susceptible to illness as children.
Then there are those with inherent deficiencies.
In addition to these three, in general, in adulthood, theoretically, there is no reason to get sick and there is no reason to get sick.
Of course, theory is one thing, and facts are another.
The fact is, not too many adults get sick.
Xu Guangling also summarized the reason why theory and fact deviate and it is a huge deviation last night. Generally speaking, there are three reasons:
ignorance;
Knowledge and indulgence;
When you are alive in this world, you have no control over yourself.
"I beg your pardon, have you heard of the story of Dayu's flood control?" Mr. Zhang asked.
This is simply fishing.
If you live on this land and have received basic education, if you have never heard of this story, you can just drag it out and beat it to death. Therefore, in response to the teacher's question, Xu Guangling responded with a wry smile instead of nodding.
Both old men laughed.
"What are the basic principles of Dayu's flood control?" Zhang Lao asked again.
This time Xu Guangling was about to answer, and he answered honestly: "Sparse, sparse."
"Yes, Shu." Mr. Zhang nodded equally seriously, "The basic purpose of traditional Chinese medicine is 'auxiliary', and one of the basic principles of its behavior is 'sparing', which is what I told you before, 'the general principle is not
Pain, pain makes it impossible'."
The general rule is that it does not hurt. The pain here cannot only be defined as pain in a narrow sense, but rather means that it will not cause any disadvantages. In other words, it means that there will be no disease or illness.
I often use my eyes for a long time, which results in myopia.
Why?
It's because of "blockage" - the qi and blood in the eyes don't flow.
Therefore, ways to protect your eyes include massaging your eyes, turning your eyeballs, looking up and down, left and right, looking far and near. All of these methods allow the blood to circulate around the eyes.
Sitting for long periods of time often results in strained lumbar muscles.
Most people may still find it incredible, "When I sit down, my waist is clearly resting, but why am I straining my lumbar muscles? This makes no sense!"
Makes sense.
And the truth is still the same two words, "unreasonable".
If you sit for a long time, you can just stand up and twist your waist. Then you can do pull-ups and frog jumps. In short, the purpose or principle is just one, which is to let the blood flow in this place and become active.
.
As the saying goes, running water will not rot and door hinges will not be beetrooted. As long as the body can function normally and the body's Qi and blood can flow up and down, there will be no accumulation of disadvantages and no disease.
Xu Guangling nodded at Mr. Zhang's words.
In the past month, his "preschool class" was not in vain.
Zhang Laobian continued: "The basic principle is 'sparing', and the basic method of 'sparing' is 'needle', which is the needle of 'acupuncture'. Among them, the needle is the main body and moxibustion is the auxiliary."
Xu Guangling nodded again.
"Acupuncture is used to dredge Qi and blood, but some people's physical condition is too deficient and simple dredging will not help. At this time, 'replenishment', that is, medication, must be used."
"Acupuncture and medicine, these are the two major systems of traditional Chinese medicine."
"For thousands of years, all behaviors and research on traditional Chinese medicine have revolved around these two systems."
