Or, among the five internal organs, the most important ones are the heart and kidneys? It seems that usually, there is nothing wrong with the liver, spleen and lungs.
But this is not right. Since the teacher said "most", he probably meant one rather than two. Based on Xu Guangling's instinctive judgment, when two things are indistinguishable, it is likely that neither of them is the answer.
The answer is probably something else!
After thinking for a long time, Xu Guangling shook his head.
As the saying goes, if you know something, you know it, and if you don't know it, you don't know it. Showing ignorance in front of the teacher is not a shame.
The knowledge he had come across in the past was not related to this aspect, and the knowledge he had learned from the teacher in the past month or so was not related to this aspect either.
Zhang Lao smiled and did not tell him the answer directly, but told him a short story.
"Once upon a time, there was a man, a man in his forties, who accidentally fell into the river while driving. It was night and winter, and a thin layer of cold had formed on the surface of the river, making it stingingly freezing. The man could not change his mind.
Chaos, although anxious, but after a struggle, he finally escaped death."
"That day, after returning home, the man happily took a hot bath and drank some ginger soup to ward off the cold."
"The next day, when he woke up, the man felt fine and didn't find anything wrong. He then put the matter behind him."
"Then, when the winter of this year passed and spring came, the man caught a cold. At first, the man didn't care. It was very common to have a cold. He just went to the pharmacy and bought some cold medicine.
, after two or three days, the cold got better."
"The man stopped taking his medication."
"But two or three days later, instead of getting better, the body that was supposed to be improving didn't get better. On the contrary, the cold got worse again."
"The man has no choice but to take medicine honestly this time until his cold is completely gone!"
Having said this, Mr. Zhang paused.
Xu Guangling then asked: "Teacher, what happened next?"
It must have happened later!
This is obvious.
"Half a month later, the man caught a cold again!"
"Actually, it wasn't a cold at first, but a cough. The man thought it was because he had eaten too much salty food recently, so he drank more boiled water in the morning and evening. After two or three days, the cough not only didn't get better, but got worse."
"This time the man went to the hospital simply."
"After doing some relevant examinations in the hospital, nothing was found. Then I followed the normal respiratory tract infection and received some fluids."
"It worked very well. After returning home, the man stopped coughing."
"This matter seems to have passed again."
"However, more than half a month later, when he woke up one night, the man suddenly felt that his heartbeat was inexplicably accelerated, and he felt a little short of breath. The man had always been healthy and had no hidden diseases, but this time
The symptoms are very obvious and abnormal, and they are definitely not symptoms that a normal person should have."
"So the man re-entered the hospital decisively this time and underwent a comprehensive physical examination."
"The test result is myocarditis."
"The man was a little confused. He brought a lot of medicine back. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, or maybe he was unwilling to accept it. This time, he used his connections to find a reputable old Chinese medicine practitioner from the Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for examination."
Having said this, Mr. Zhang paused again, and then asked Xu Guangling: "Immodestly, can you make a preliminary judgment or guess where the man's fundamental problem lies?"
Of the five internal organs, which one is the most important?
Where is the fundamental problem?
These two seemingly unrelated questions, at this moment, were like guiding lights, pointing out the direction for Xu Guangling. Such an obvious reminder, if he didn't know the answer yet, then the old man's troubles he had suffered for more than a month would
Teaching can be regarded as learning in vain.
"Teacher, is it the lungs?" Xu Guangling said.
This sentence not only answers this question, but also answers the previous question.
Mr. Zhang smiled, and Mr. Chen also smiled.
The next moment, Mr. Zhang lost his smile and said calmly: "So, I'd like to ask, can you analyze where the problem comes from?"
In fact, when he just answered, Xu Guangling had already thought about it comprehensively, so at this time, he directly answered: "Everything started when the man fell into the water that night."
"When he accidentally fell into the water, the man must have been struggling in panic. Internal heat rushed out, and external cold came in. The pores in his body first opened and then closed, so that the cold and heat gathered in the lungs. In addition, the man must have been breathing rapidly at that time, and a large amount of cold air entered from the throat.
Lungs, overall, this man must have suffered non-physical damage to his lungs."
"After that, whether the man took a hot bath or drank ginger soup, the former had no effect on the lungs, while the latter only had a superficial effect. On the contrary, under the hot water soaking, it took away the deep-rooted lungs.
The cold air pushed in further, laying the root of the disease."
"The subsequent colds and coughs all came from this."
"The latest heart problems should also be transmitted from lung problems."
After listening to Xu Guangling's ambiguous and guessing so-called "analysis", Mr. Zhang smiled, without commenting, and then said: "The most distinctive feature of life, whether it is animals or plants, is that it calls out.
Breathe. When we describe a person's death, the first statement is that the heart stopped beating, and the second statement is that the person died."
"If a person suffocates, he will die soon. This is something many of us know."
"A person is not suffocated, but if the oxygen content in the air he breathes is low, for example, when a person comes to a higher altitude, he will have a series of symptoms such as shortness of breath, shortness of breath, chest tightness, dizziness, etc.
This is the so-called altitude sickness, and in fact all symptoms come from the lungs."
"A person is not suffocated, and the oxygen content in the air he breathes is normal. However, if there are other things in the air, such as modern air pollutants such as fine dust and car exhaust, many of these small pollutants will directly pass through the air without any hindrance.
They enter the lungs and are deposited in the lungs, but these pollutants cannot be metabolized by the body through normal metabolism."
"The lungs are the only part of the body's five internal organs that are directly connected to the outside world."
"Whether it is cold, heat, or pollution, it will directly affect its operation and cause it to become abnormal. This abnormality will be directly transmitted to the other four organs, causing abnormalities in the entire body."
"Therefore, whether it is strengthening the heart, nourishing the kidneys, nourishing the liver, or nourishing the spleen, one prerequisite is that the lungs are functioning normally and stably."
"So, a thousand remedies are not as good as Ichigo."
"Paying attention to your lungs means paying attention to your health. If you take good care of your lungs, other organs will be in good health."
"The lungs are the source of the circulation of qi and blood throughout the human body."
“Talking about health care without first conditioning the lungs is like waving a cattail leaf fan in the hot summer and talking about coolness. It’s just a joke. No matter how much nourishing and conditioning is done, it will be half the result with twice the result, or even completely in vain.”
