[original]
If you have four seasons of yin and Yang, the essence of all things (1). Therefore, sages raise Yang in spring and summer, Yin in autumn and winter (2), so as to follow their roots (3), so they sink and float in the gate of growth with all things (4). If you go against its roots, you will cut down its roots and destroy its truth. Therefore, in the four seasons of yin and Yang, the beginning of all things, the root of death and life, and in the contrary, disaster and life, and from which severe illness can not be started, are called "Dedao" (5). The Tao is what the sage does, and the fool wears (6). From Yin and Yang, you will live, against which you will die, from which you will govern, against which you will be confused. It's called "internal case". Therefore, if the sage does not cure the disease, he will not cure the disorder. It's too late to make weapons when the war is coming,or eager to pierce the well with your arms.
[note]
(1) In the four seasons of yin and Yang, the root of all things is: the rise and fall of yin and Yang is the root of the growth and collection of all things in nature.
(2) Nourishing yang in spring and summer, nourishing Yin in autumn and winter: in spring and summer, human beings should conform to the laws of natural growth to regulate Yang Qi, and in autumn and winter, they should conform to the laws of natural collection to regulate Yin Qi. Yang means health preservation, Yin means adoption.
(3) To follow its root: to conform to the root of all living things.
(4) Floating in the gate of growth with all things: like all things, human beings are constantly moving in the process of growing and collecting life. Sink, disappear (Mo end), this refers to collection. Floating, as opposed to sinking, refers to growth. Door, path, road.
(5) Enlightenment: fully understand the theory of health preservation, and be able to correctly adopt health preservation methods.
(6) Pei: it's the same as the paradox. It's used in ancient times. To violate; violate.
(7) Internal: the internal physiological performance of human body does not coordinate with the changes of yin and Yang in the four seasons of nature. Wang Bing's note: "Ge, refuse also, that is to say, the inner character refuses the heaven.".
[introduction]
The scripture emphasizes that yin and yang are "the root of all things" in the four seasons, from which to govern, and against which to disorder. Thus, it puts forward the important principle of "nourishing yang in spring and summer, nourishing Yin in autumn and winter", which conforms to the four seasons' health preservation, and lists the hazards of violating the four seasons' changes.
"Yang in spring and summer, Yin in autumn and winter" as the principle of health preservation is the conclusion drawn from the previous article, which combines spring, summer, autumn and winter. Growth belongs to Yang, collection belongs to Yin; spring and summer belong to Yang, so health preservation and long-term maintenance; autumn and winter belong to Yin, so adoption and collection are adopted. For "nourishing yang in spring and summer, nourishing Yin in autumn and winter", doctors of later generations have played a lot. The main points are as follows: first, Mashi, Gao Shibi, etc. believe that the Qi of spring and summer is nourishing yang along with its growth, and that of autumn and winter is Nourishing Yin along with its collection. 2、 Wang Bing thinks that raising is making. In spring and summer, the Yang is abundant, so it is suitable to eat cold and cool food to control the hyperactivity of the Yang; in autumn and winter, the Yin is abundant, so it is suitable to eat warm and hot food to suppress the Yin. 3、 According to Zhang jiebin, Yang is the root of Yin, and Yang in spring and summer is for Yin in autumn and winter; Yin is for Yang, and Yin in autumn and winter is for Yang in spring and summer. 4、 Zhang Zhicong thought that in spring and summer, the Yang is abundant outside and empty inside, so we should raise the Yang of inner emptiness; in autumn and winter, the Yin is abundant outside and empty inside, so we should raise the Yin of inner emptiness. All of the above have explained the spirit of the original text from different perspectives, expanding the application scope of health preservation and disease prevention. According to this, modern people further put forward many new ideas, such as the theory of nourishing yang qi in spring and summer, nourishing Yin liquid in autumn and winter, the theory of regulating heart and liver in spring and summer, lung and kidney in autumn and winter, and the theory of treating winter diseases in summer, summer diseases in winter, etc. Later generations have talked about the specific methods of nourishing yang and Yin, and "nourishing yang in spring and summer, nourishing Yin in autumn and winter" is the principle of health preservation, which has a wide connotation. When it comes to clothing, food, housing, transportation, spiritual and emotional aspects, it is not allowed to stick to one method according to people, time and local conditions.
Finally, the paper emphasizes the principle of prevention and treatment. The "prevention of disease" in traditional Chinese medicine mainly includes two aspects: prevention before disease and prevention of change after disease. It reflects the medical thought of prevention in Neijing, which plays an important role in health care, disease prevention and treatment. It has been effectively guiding the practice of prevention and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years.
