Many factors can cause disease, but we have few ways to cure them. Modern people have all kinds of diseases. Partly caused by physiological, psychological, and even caused by environmental factors. No matter how skilled a doctor and how many diseases have been cured, he always seems to get a patient who suffered from a mysterious disease, a disease that can not be diagnosed as a doctor.
In such circumstances, a doctor will feel like being in a foggy mountain. If he is a doctor of Chinese medicine, meridians while repeatedly checking the patient, applying acupuncture, change recipes, and tried various methods, there is still a possibility the patient's health does not improve or even worsen after a few days and weeks.
Faced with such a patient, the doctor kept wondering, what else can he do. He felt helpless and expect another recipe that can be tried. Facing such a situation, doctors realized that the experience, knowledge, and all his lifetime to explore the infinite mysteries of nature and the origin of life eventually becomes a task that can not be completed.
"Only when someone has a problem, he realized it was too late to learn the Tao. Only when a person falls ill, she regretted not keeping good health. "These are two lines of poetry written by Lu You (1125 - 1210 AD), a famous poet of the Song Dynasty.
This poem reminds us of the different methods used in the ancient Chinese people maintain their health. According to ancient texts, there are 3600 categories of methods of maintaining health in the School of Tao, which each category contains more than 10 thousand special methods. That's why ancient Chinese society has a deep knowledge of how to maintain good health, while modern people do not know even when taking nutritional supplements or other means to balance the functions of their own organs.
Why doctors can not find a useful method for each patient at a fundamental level and allows each patient to obtain good health?
When advised to maintain good health, modern people immediately think about the consumption of nutritional supplements, herbal medicine, or exercise such as hiking, biking and so on. But what about those who can not afford to buy ginseng root or root of milkvetch, and do not have time to exercise? In addition, as human beings are not we will remain sick? Furthermore, if nutritional supplements are not consumed properly, they can not produce the expected results. Even in many cases, because the way they consume nutritional supplements, it does not get benefits, even also can shorten a person's age.
For example, let's assume the age of the oldest person is 100 years old. Even if someone is lucky enough to live until age 100 years, he spent nearly half of his life as a child or a parent. More than half the time left is spent sleeping at night or working hard to get a mouthful of rice on the table during the day.
After deducting the time suffering from pain, suffering due to emotional turmoil, struggling as they face natural disasters or disasters caused by humans, or through other various tribulations of life, the average person may have only a few dozen days in the entire adult life to feel really relaxed, happy and does not carry any burden or pain.
The days with no limit before someone is born and after she died. In between the time a person can live confined to a few years, and even then someone will die no more than a few dozen days when he was really happy. So what is the meaning of human life? What it takes to live like a person before he be happy?
Ancient times, people know if they are short-lived and impermanent. They try not to violate the basic laws of the universe. What are their basic principles to maintain good health? At high levels they harmonize the principles of heaven and earth, yin and yang. At the secondary level they obey the rules of society and human morality. At low levels they cherish all living beings. This is a basic principle to maintain their health.
If doctors only treat patients on a superficial level by treating the head when the patient said his head hurt and treat the foot when the patient said her feet hurt, they can not cure the disease from the root. If doctors do not tell the patient that sets high morality is the fundamental way to treat one disease, modern medicine will never be able to catch up when developing a new disease, and doctors will feel helpless when they can not do much.
There is an ancient Chinese proverb says, "Keeping one's morality is as important as maintaining one's health." This suggests that only when the person holding the high moral principles in his heart, he could be someone who really knows how to maintain good health. (Secret China / feb)
