In the Traditional Chinese Medicine understanding of the origins of life

First, the Qi people to world health, four seasons of the law into.

The so-called people of “aerial heaven and earth,” is that air of heaven and earth to provide the human body depends on the material conditions for survival; the so-called “Four Seasons of the law as” is that people have to adapt to changes of yin and yang, four o’clock, to development growth. As the Ming Dynasty physician Jingyue said: “Spring should be the liver and health, heart care should be a long summer, long summer and the nutrient should be the spleen, lungs and support should be closed in autumn and winter should keep possession of the kidney”, which means the body’s physiological activities of internal organs , yin and yang, must adapt to changes in seasons to maintain a harmonious balance with the external environment. This generation of modern life that matter and energy between heaven and earth is the result of the interaction view, is basically the same.

Specifically, the “aerial people to heaven and earth,” is that the origin of human life, from the sun and the moon world, mainly from the sun and the earth, especially in the sun and the earth fire water. All things grow by the sun, all living things, in the final analysis, depends on the sun’s light and heat. Light and heat energy of life on Earth, if the lack of adequate light and heat, life and existence can not occur. Engels once said: “Our Earth itself is only due to solar heat was able to survive … … If there is no solar radiation to the exclusion of our movement here on Earth will stop all movements.” Eat our daily food , directly or indirectly from the plant, also comes from plants using the fuel, derived from the photosynthesis, the energy comes from the sun. So there is no sun, no life on Earth. Not only that, all things grow also depends on the Earth, because it is the biological activity of the base. Earth must heat cooling, the formation of crust; must be of sufficient quality to attract air; must form a large amount of water vapor, reduced rainfall, have occurred in the conditions of life may result. Organism to be metabolized with the surrounding environment, and constitute the elements of an organism, or plasma, both accounting for ninety percent of several of the four common elements, namely carbon (C), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), or the total percentage of a few of the many elements are drawn from nature, mainly from the Earth.

Chinese medicine also considers that “heaven and earth gas exchange, of all things Chinese real.” This means that even if the Sun Yang, Yin Earth, but they do not intersect into any phenomenon of life is impossible. In this regard, the “Yellow Emperor” in a highly condensed summary said: “The days of the German in me will also, to the person in my gas can, Germany is also the living flow of thin air.” Flow of gas here, the German thin, that is, heaven and earth gas exchange. Only then, things have a biological possibility. This will clear why there is no life on other planetary phenomena. The survival of the original living organisms, at least three conditions: First, there must be proper temperature, the temperature is too high or too low, they can not have biological existence. Too close to the planet from the sun is too hot, too far is too cold, and Chinese medicine, “Yang wins the heat, yin win the cold.” Second, water is necessary, because the organism most of the protein is present in aqueous solution, if the water will stop the biological function or death. Third, there must be an appropriate atmosphere composition. Oxygen and carbon dioxide, the gas necessary for life activity, and planets, not large enough to attract the air, no water from the large chemical and biological weapons. Only the Earth and the Sun is the dynamic relationship now, most of relatively modest and uniform surface to receive solar energy, create a “Negative and wrong”, “World Gas to pay” situation, so in the appropriate light and heat, water vapor, air and other conditions, which changed the life to come to be.

Thus, Chinese medicine theory of the origins of life, from the fundamental point of view, is simple and spontaneous materialist dialectics. This is because it believes that heaven and earth fire and water is the source of life and the development of the material, human and other animals, although the highest, but also just a “matter of a” divided out from all things Qunsheng, all from the “Heaven and gas.” Since ancient times, the nature and origin of life issue, there is the struggle between materialism and idealism. Chinese medicine has not “creationism”, “mandate of heaven”, and it is standing on materialistic aspects, in the struggle with the disease, the fight against superstition and witchcraft God, and the “mandate of heaven” for the struggle to develop.

Why is that “four seasons of the law as” it? This is because the spring, summer, autumn and winter four o’clock natural climate change, and human life activities are also opposing the two sides, the body must adapt to the four o’clock to survive climate change activities. Otherwise, the human circadian rhythm will be disturbed, disease resistance and adaptability will be reduced, that is, or do not feel the evils due to the disease, can lead to visceral dysfunction and lesions occur, the “Yellow Emperor” clearly states:”Yin and Yang Fu seasons, beginning and end of all things also,” “not against the spring air is Shaoyang Health, in liver; inverse gas is the sun of summer is not long, the heart inside the cave air; against the autumn air the moon do not accept, lung coke full; against the winter air is not hidden Shao, kidney alone Shen. ” The sentence means that the rise and fall seasons change yin and yang movement, all things essential for life, if not pay attention to health, the wrong side of the spring and students of the gas, the gas can not germinal Shaoyang, we must occur within the depression of liver disease; the wrong side of a long summer of the gas, the gas can not grow if the sun occurs cardiac disease; the wrong side of the harvest of the gas, the gas is not the lunar convergence, we must break the lesions occurred fullness Hyperactivity; defy the winter provisions of the gas, the gas can not be closed Tibet Shao, exhausted going to happen insufficient kidney deficiency disease. Visible, due to damaged internal organs to adapt to four o’clock the normal law of alternation of yin and yang, will inevitably lead to imbalance in the body and external environment and lesions occur, and even life-threatening. So learn to adapt pm TCM Yin and Yang of all creatures to survive as an important condition. The so-called “survival of the fittest” is still the biological insurmountable objective laws. As with the nature of human life activities closely related to movement, then, to grasp the objective laws of the universe movement can in the natural kingdom free. In other words, only the understanding of human nature, can better adapt to and transform the nature and become masters of nature.

Second, the yin and yang is the source of life.

The so-called yin and yang, it is the interrelated nature of certain things and phenomena of the opposing general, it is an abstract concept rather than specific things. As the “Yellow Emperor”, said: “Ju Fu Yin and Yang, the famous and the invisible, so the numbers could be ten, a hundred from the can, the can loose thousands, pushing the can million, what is called too.” Yin and yang is precisely because broad opposing sides of things, so it can represent things inherent in the unity of two opposing attributes, but also within the same thing on behalf of the two conflicting aspects. Therefore, any thing not only has the yin and yang, two opposing sides, and in which any party has its yin and yang are two opposite aspects.

Yin and yang of things competing properties, is by its nature, location, trends, etc. of the decision. Generally speaking, any activity, rising, clear, progressive, hyperactivity, or is a functional area, are considered positive; with its opposite side, where the quiet, falling, veiled, degenerative , the function of attenuation, or belonging to control quality aspects, are all negative. Properties from the point of view of things, “Heaven is yang to yin,” and clear it in the last days is positive, to the next and the cloud it is yin; “Water is yin, yang fire,” it is a water laid down Haner Yin, Yan fire is hot and so is positive. Then the movement of things change from the point of view, static is a yin and a yang action, while in the quiet state of things when it is cloudy, in the agitation state will be positive.

“Yellow Emperor”, said: “Cardiff has always been sky-persons, students of the country, the yin and yang.” The point is that, since ancient times, the body’s yang is forged with the natural world, so the origin of life, the heaven and earth the changes of yin and yang.The reason is that the source of life, yin and yang, is due to the world all things are in constant motion and change, newborn and dying; and the development of sports has been able to change things, rooted in the existence of the thing itself between two aspects of yin and yang opposites . As the “Yellow Emperor” in the said: “Yin and Yang, Heaven and Earth also, discipline of all things, change the parents, life and death of the beginning, the gods of the House also.” A very clear answer here, whether natural or people, must be the fundamental yin and yang. Because yin and yang is the fundamental law of nature, the development of sports, million types of biological changes in the general program generated, change the source of all life, life and death into the essence and power, but also the human spirit, understanding of the local activities. Shows the source of yin and yang of life, whether it is all things in nature or just the body Ye Hao, must conform to the laws of nature, growth and decline of yin and yang.

Activities of human life, not only to adapt to growth and decline of yin and yang of nature, but also to maintain the body’s yin and yang balance. Such as the “Yellow Emperor” says: “Yin Pingyang secret, is the spirit of governance; yin and yang from the decision, refined gas is no.” Level, and also, secret, secret too. Yin Pingyang secret, namely, peace and yin, yang solid density. Spirit of the rule is that the normal mental activities. From the decision, separate pull off, the coordination of yin and yang is damaged, pull off to the point of separation, the essence absolutely dried up, the end of life.The sentence means: only solid density of yin and yang of peace, the spirit to rule without being chaotic; pull off if the separation of yin and yang, the essence of people will never dried out. This shows that coordination of yin and yang, the maintenance of human health and prevent diseases of great significance. As Engels, “Dialectics of Nature” in his book: “The possibility of relatively static objects. The possibility of a temporary equilibrium, the main conditions of material differentiation, and therefore the main conditions of life.” Fact is that in life activities in the unity of opposites of yin and yang, growth and decline of life into the main form of exercise throughout the life course from beginning to the survival of life decisions. Yang , yin forming, Yin Yang eliminate long, Yin Xiao Yang, their conversion to the opposite side. The metabolism of life is such, the decline of old, new growth, health and biochemical technology does not stand still. Everything million world class, things are not immutable. It seems from the study TCM, the body itself is a unity of opposites of yin and yang, due to the interaction of yin and yang , and promote the movement and changes of life. But the yin and yang yang is led into, such as the “Yellow Emperor”, said: “Where to yin and yang, yang is the solid density.” In other words, human life led to yang; if yang Chong Sheng, the body full of vitality, or business withered, shortened by loss of years. Large physician Zhang Yue Yiyun: “days big treasure, only this one pill red; one of the great treasure, this is only a true positive rate.” “Yellow Emperor” and further clearly states: “chi, if they days and days, missing the but not been apparent that the life shortened. “It is obvious that aging is caused by the depletion of yang, while the emphasis on maintaining yang, you can delay aging. At the same time, the “Yellow Emperor” in later years also pointed out the close relationship with the sex fluid, such as “sex fluid by Bong their life,” “Forty years, and since the semi-chi also, personal bad carry on.” From point of view, aging is the result of diminishing yang. Visible, and yang Yin and Blood deficiency, both lead to the root causes of aging, but they can not completely separate the two, because the chemical and biological sex fluid helps save yang, keep sex fluid accumulation is also good for nursing yang .

Third, the core essence of life.

“Zhuangzi • know the North Tour”, said: “man is born, the poly gas can, poly was born dead … … Hence it was scattered through the world at a stretch ears”; Han philosopher Wang Yiyun: “Heaven and gas , everything from life “(” Lun Heng Chong • Distinction “), and also pointed out that the person is affected by the intrinsic strength of the microscopic part, that” essence “, also known as” strength. ” Accordingly made in medicine, gas is not only material, but with unlimited vitality. The reason why people have lives, but also because the human body constitutes a “gas” has the vitality of the performance. The strength of human vitality. Life Shouyao, Rise and Fall of survival lies in their strength; metabolic biochemical process called gasification physiology; life exists, from the movements of air-out; and so on, which all reflect the gas is not only constitute the basic material of the body, is the body’s life force.

Gas is not only the core of life, the life essence is the core, because the essence is innate, intrinsic by the innate, as the origin of life matter, the “Yellow Emperor”, said: “Therefore, to students of, that the spirit “and” God is said the two, together and forming, often the first body that life is fine. ” So that all chemical and biological weapons, will start from the fine. Consistency of fine men and women, they constitute one of stature. Therefore, this and future generations born to the fine, known as the “innate essence.”This essence is the foundation of life, the generation of people will start from the fine, the fine physique and then generate the five internal organs, veins and other skin bones. Not only that, people born after the sex fluid still depends on sufficient support, in order to maintain the life activities of human growth. As the “Yellow Emperor”, said: “The blood of people the spirit, it had instructions from the lives of those born weeks, also in the” visible, refined gas to maintain the essential function of human life, honesty is not a moment away from the person. If the sex fluid filling, the strong life activities, body and health with fewer health; if sex fluid decline is true, then the life activity loss, premature aging and sick. Therefore, TCM school that the true meaning is that health care essence, the essence of the role of life-sustaining functions mainly in the possession of both fine and . So, how can the essence built it?”Yellow Emperor”, said: “chi who is God, quiet possession, manic then die.” Chi, the internal organs of the possession of the essence, the key to containing the essence of “static”, pretend agitation is easily dissipated. Possession of fine should also conform to the natural, with particular emphasis on “Winter Yin.”Changes in seasons of yin and yang, cold and heat alternating reciprocating air dampness, this is often also , the body is also a necessary condition for the growth of the collection, but the body of the essence, we must keep the exchange with the outside world campaign continuous self-renewal, in order to ensure the normal operation of vital functions, which is full of gas to the body, running endless. As the “Yellow Emperor”, said: “The gas line may not have, such as water flow, such as the endless line of sun and the moon.” “Getting Started • Medical care”: the “vitality popular by longevity, vitality stagnation die prematurely.” That endless run of gas in the human body, thus maintaining the body’s life activities to promote health and longevity; if gas lines stagnation, the sick and premature death.

The above three points is the number of medical knowledge on the origin of life, although not as modern scientific understanding of the less specific, but the basic point is correct, is consistent with dialectical materialism.
