[introduction]
This section mainly discusses the following issues:
1. The law of men and women growing strong and old
According to the spirit of the original text, the female is 7-14 years old and the male is 8-16 years old, which is a period of growth and development, mainly manifested as longer teeth and longer hair. The development of Tiangui is becoming more and more mature. Women's monthly events are changing at the same time, and the male begins to have the phenomenon of ejaculation and has the fertility. The age of 21-28 for women and 24-32 for men is the period of vigorous growth, which is mainly manifested by the generation of wisdom teeth, complete growth of teeth, strong muscles and bones, strong physique and long hair. The female is 35-49 years old and the male is 40-64 years old, which is an aging period. The main manifestations are that the Yang Ming pulse is gradually declining, the face is gradually haggard, the hair is dry and white and begins to fall off, the days and caprices are gradually exhausted, the body is aging, the essence and Qi are gradually lacking, and the reproductive ability is gradually lost. The changing process of men and women growing strong and old revealed in Neijing is the basic law of life activities and the result of long-term observation and summary of life and medical practice.
2. The relationship between kidney qi, growth and reproduction
In the period of growth and development, the kidney qi gradually becomes full; in the period of strong, the kidney qi has become a stable and balanced trend; in the period of aging, the kidney qi gradually declines. At a certain stage of kidney gas filling, anemone is directly related to reproduction and sexual function. It can be seen that the rise and fall of kidney essence is directly related to the process of human growth and aging, which directly affects human reproductive and sexual functions. As Yao Zhian said, "the strength of men and women starts from the prosperity of kidney qi, and then (when it is the word" weak ") also results from the decline of kidney qi. The rise and fall of man are all rooted in the kidney. " It can be seen that the maintenance of kidney qi is the first task for people to maintain health and delay aging. Modern research suggests that tonifying the kidney is helpful to improve the body's immunity and delay aging.
For the reason of old age and having children, according to the point of view of this article, the male is 64 years old and the female is 49 years old, the kidney qi is declining and the sky is decaying, that is to say, they lose their fertility, which is the general situation; however, those who live too long, have enough Qi and have more kidney qi can also have fertility, and those who have profound knowledge of health preservation can still have fertility even when they are 100 years old, This is a special case. It can be seen that health preservation is closely related to longevity and fertility.
3. There are two meanings in the original understanding of "the kidney is the master of water, which is hidden by the essence of five Zang and six Fu, so five Zang is abundant, which can be written"
The first is to explain the function of the kidney to store essence. The kidney not only stores the innate essence, but also receives the acquired essence from the five viscera. The second is that the kidney can release essence only when the five viscera essence is full of Qi. The internal organs of the human body are a whole, which are related to each other physiologically and influence each other pathologically. The rise and fall of essence in the kidney is closely related to the rise and fall of essence in the five Zang and six Fu organs. The former section emphasizes that the rise and fall of essence in the kidney is closely related to the growth, rejuvenation and reproductive function of the human body. This section suggests that the cultivation of essence in the five Zang and six Fu organs should not be ignored to protect the kidney qi
