The sun never sets plan
In "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", the dialogue between the Yellow Emperor and Qi Bo involves the difference between ancient and modern methods. The Yellow Emperor asked why in ancient times it was only necessary to use methods such as transferring essence and changing qi, wishing for you, etc., but now it requires complex methods such as poisons and needles, and sometimes the effect is not ideal. Qi Bo explained the reasons behind this phenomenon in detail.

The Yellow Emperor asked: I heard that in ancient times, the treatment of diseases only required by adjusting the spirit, changing the temperament, and using methods such as wishing for the technique. But now to cure diseases, we have to use poison to cure internal diseases, and use needles and stones to cure external diseases, sometimes they can be cured, sometimes they can't, why is this? Qi Bo replied: In ancient times, people lived among birds and beasts, and chose a bright place to escape the heat through activities, without too much concern and attachment in their hearts, and there was no excessive fatigue and officialdom strife on the outside. At that time, the people were in a simple state of mind, so external evil could not invade them deeply. Therefore, poison cannot be used for them to be an internal disease, and needles and stones cannot be used for external diseases, and they can only be cured by adjusting their spirits and using methods such as Zhu Youshu. However, people are living in a different era now. Their hearts are full of sorrows, their bodies are tired and damaged, and they do not conform to the changes of the weather at the four seasons, and they go against the clock, which leads to the frequent invasion of thieves and the companionship of vanity and evil. These external evils can penetrate deep into the bone marrow of the five internal organs, damaging the skin and the void. As a result, people nowadays are prone to serious illnesses that can lead to death from even minor illnesses. Therefore, it is not possible to ** the disease by relying on Zhuyushu alone.
Combing and summarizing knowledge points
The difference between ancient and modern methods: In ancient times, it was mainly through the adjustment of the spirit and the use of methods such as Zhu Youshu to cure diseases, while in modern times, complex means such as poisons and needles and stones are used.
In ancient times, people's state of mind was simple, and it was difficult for external evils to invade deeply; However, due to factors such as inner troubles, physical fatigue and failure to adapt to climate change, external evils penetrate deep into the bone marrow of the five internal organs, damaging the skin and empty holes.
Zhu Youshu can effectively cure diseases in ancient times, but in modern times, due to the increase in the severity and complexity of the disease, it is no longer possible to rely on Zhu Youshu alone.
