Maintenance of fertility
Kidney Qi is the key to maintaining fertility, and fertility is stronger when Kidney Qi is full.
As we age, kidney qi gradually declines, and fertility declines.
Special case
There are a very small number of people who are able to maintain their fertility even when they are older.
Through cultivation, Taoist practitioners can delay aging and maintain youth, so they can have children even at an advanced age.
Comprehension Summary:
Through the description of the physiological changes of the body of men and women at different ages, the Yellow Emperor's Neijing reveals the close relationship between fertility and the prosperity and decline of kidney qi. From a physiological point of view, kidney qi filling is a key factor in maintaining fertility. As we age, kidney qi gradually declines, and fertility declines as well. However, there are some exceptions, such as excessive longevity or Taoist practitioners, who are able to keep their kidneys full of qi through special cultivation methods so that they can still be fertile at an older age.
This knowledge point not only allows us to understand the physiological basis of fertility, but also reminds us to pay attention to maintaining the body and keeping the kidney qi full, so as to delay aging and improve the quality of fertility. At the same time, for those who wish to maintain their fertility, this knowledge point also provides some useful references and enlightenment.
Original text: The emperor said: People who are old and childless, are exhausted of their strength? Will the number of days also? Qi Bo said: The woman is seven years old, her kidneys are vigorous, and her teeth are longer. Twenty-seven and the day is to, Ren pulse is through, Taichong pulse is prosperous, and the moon is in the present, so there is a son. Sanqi, the kidney qi is average, so the true teeth are born and grow poles. Forty-seven, strong muscles and bones, extremely long hair, strong body, five-seven, Yangming pulse decline, face begins to scorch, hair begins to fall. Six or seven, the three yang veins are declining on the top, the face is scorched, and the hair is white. Qiqi, Ren pulse is weak, Taichong pulse is weak, the sky is exhausted, the tunnel is not passable, so the shape is bad and childless. The husband is eight years old, with strong kidneys and long teeth. Twenty-eight, the kidney is vigorous, the sky is full, the essence is overflowing, yin and yang are harmonious, so there can be children. Thirty-eight, the kidney qi is average, the muscles and bones are strong, so the true teeth are born and grow poles. Forty-eight, the muscles and bones are strong, and the muscles are strong. Five-eight, kidney qi failure, and falling teeth. Sixty-eight, the yang energy is exhausted, the face is scorched, and the sideburns are white. Seven or eight, liver qi failure, tendons can not move, heaven is exhausted, sperm is scarce, kidney failure, and the body is extreme. Eighty-eight, then the teeth are gone. The main water of the kidneys is hidden by the essence of the five internal organs, so the five internal organs are full of water, and it can be diarrhead. Today, the five organs are declining, the muscles and bones are dissolved, and the sky is gone. Therefore, the hair is white, the body is heavy, the walk is not right, and there are no ears. The emperor said: Who is old and has children? Qi Bo said: This is his natural longevity, his qi and veins are always open, and his kidney qi is more than enough. Although there are sons, the men are not more than eighty or eight, and the women are not seven or seven, and the essence of heaven and earth is exhausted. The emperor said: The husband and the Taoist are all hundreds of years, can they have children? Qi Bo said: The husband can be old and full-horned, although he is long, he can give birth to children.
This ancient text is from the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", which mainly tells about the physiological changes of the bodies of men and women at different ages, especially the changes in fertility. The content of the ancient text is somewhat esoteric, and we can explain it in a more popular and humorous way.
Imagine that the Yellow Emperor asked Qi Bo, "Why can't some people have children when they are old?" Is their 'part' broken, or is it a natural law? Qi Bo smiled and began to explain.
"Ladies," said Qi Bo, "when you were seven years old, your kidney qi began to flourish, your teeth fell out and grew, and your hair grew longer. By the age of 14, the body is almost developed and you can start giving birth to babies. At the age of 21, his body has reached its peak, his muscles and bones are strong, and his beauty is bubbling up. But by the age of 35, my face began to dry out a little and my hair fell out a lot. By the age of 42, the hair on the top of his head began to turn gray. At the age of 49, the 'baby energy' in the body is used up, and it is difficult to have another baby. ”
Then Qi Bo said about the men: "Men, when you are 8 years old, your kidneys are also strong, and your hair and teeth are growing well. By the age of 16, the body is almost developed and can start planting. But by the age of 40, my hair began to fall out and my teeth became loose. At the age of 48, his face began to become vicissitudes. At the age of 56, the body begins to decline, and it is difficult to have vigorous 'sowing energy'. ”
But Qi Bo also said: "However, some people live very long because they are in very good health, and their kidney qi is still very sufficient, so even if they are old, they can still have babies." After hearing this, the Yellow Emperor nodded, and thought to himself: "It turns out that giving birth to a baby is also a science!" ”
