The classic of traditional Chinese medicine, "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", profoundly expounds the concept of health preservation with qi, believing that the key to achieving health and longevity lies in the cultivation of vitality. The book points out that vitality is the foundation of life, and people should actively pursue life goals, but they must know the principle of moderation and avoid excessive extravagance, because "having more than enough ambition and not enough strength" can easily lead to the obstruction of the flow of qi and blood and damage the body. Following the concept of the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon", people should be discerning what they want, grasp it in a certain way, and abandon the idea of non-separation, so as to be at ease, so as to effectively cultivate and maintain vitality.
According to the teachings of the Yellow Emperor's Neijing on meditation and recuperation, if you can sit and meditate for half an hour to an hour every day, the brain can be calm, which can not only fully mobilize the potential of brain cells, regulate the balance between physiological functions and mood fluctuations, but also reduce unnecessary heat loss. In this way, the body and mind are comfortable, and the qi and blood are unimpeded, and you can reach the high state of "calm and tranquil, longevity and immortality" advocated by the "Neijing".
The Yellow Emperor's Neijing also emphasizes the importance of emotional regulation for the function of the viscera, pointing out that excessive anger will hurt the lungs, excessive joy will cause qi and blood to be separated, and too much thinking will weaken the spleen and stomach. Therefore, it is very important to maintain a calm state of mind, which helps to harmonize yin and yang, harmonize the six pulses, and ultimately achieve the purpose of dispelling illness and prolonging life.
In addition, although the Neijing does not directly discuss the method of soothing qi with a long howl, in the practice of traditional Chinese medicine, widening the stomach and nourishing qi is also a part that cannot be ignored. The human body relies on the stomach and intestines to digest and absorb nutrients, and if the diet is irregular, excessive smoking and alcohol, it will deplete stomach qi, and then cause qi and blood deficiency. At the same time, learn from the wisdom of the ancients, such as strolling in the garden in the leisure time after dinner, or chanting poems and songs, leisurely, not only can soothe the mood, dispel distracting thoughts, but also through soft singing or long howling to the nose, throat, chest and abdomen and other parts of the massage effect, so that people gradually enter the good state of health and forgetfulness, which is also a way to practice the health concept of "Yellow Emperor Neijing".
