Nowadays, with the improvement of people's living standards, the crotch pants worn by children have gradually been replaced by diapers, but do you know what kind of parenting wisdom is contained in open crotch pants?
About crotch pants, a large number of articles slammed on the Internet, almost can not find a praise for it, all verbal criticism, criticized body skinless: unhygienic, unsafe urinary tract infections, long pinworms, trauma, perverted harassment ... The existence of open crotch pants is entirely because there were no diapers in the past, in order to facilitate the of, in order to save the trouble of washing diapers... Times are progressing, and crotch pants are a backward thing...
Is this really the case?
If there are so many disadvantages, why did Chinese wear crotch pants for thousands of years?
After understanding the thinking of Chinese medicine, you will know that for some practices that have been passed down for thousands of years, modern people's hearts need some reverence.
In the parenting secret of the Ming Dynasty physician Saint Wan Mi Zhai, it is said: "The head should be cool and the back should be warm, and the lower body should be exposed to cultivate true yin." ”
We are talking about children who are one year old or less than one and a half years old.
02
Why "expose its lower body to cultivate true yin"?
Wan Mi Zhai said, "Before the age of sixteen, qi and blood are abundant, such as the sun rising, such as the moon will be round, but the yin is often insufficient", and the children's physique has the characteristics of "yang is often more than enough, yin is often insufficient".
Where is the yin deficiency manifested? Yin deficiency and fire, five upset and hot, are all manifestations of yin deficiency.
So what are the countermeasures in dressing? Very importantly, it is open crotch pants.
Wan Mi Zhai said, "Boy, don't you wear a robe." "What do you mean?" Clothing, the clothes of the lower body; the drapery, softer than the cloth; the fur, the leather coat, the softer than the drapery. That is to say, the lower body should be worn thinly, and you should not wrap it with thick cotton wool underneath, let alone wear a leather coat underneath. Winter is cold, many parents wear autumn pants and jeans for their children, wrapped in layers, and children can't run. This is actually ruining the child's body.
Wan Mi Zhai also said: "The lower body is the main yin, and if it is cold, it is easy to grow yin, and if it is warm, it is dark." "The child's changes in less than a week are very large, from the head can stand, to be able to turn over, to sit, can climb, can walk, the development is very fast, this is the role of yang."
But in the eyes of the ancients, yin and yang are relative, yang grows fast, and yin is insufficient. If the lower body is too tight, the yin will disappear, and this elimination will cause the yang to grow too fast, and it will lead to the lack of his yang in the future - don't look at the fast growth now, it may not grow well in the future.
So whether it is a boy or a girl, if you want to grow and develop well, in infancy, you must not wear much underneath.
This is the study of bare buttocks, really not as simple as the convenience of the map, but the parenting wisdom that has a profound impact on the child's life.
In the face of major problems affecting the growth and development of children throughout their lives, the problems that are attacked by open crotch pants are no longer big problems. From birth to toddler, but it is only a year or two, more effort to help the child do a good job of hygiene, more attention to protect his safety, in exchange for the health of his growth and development, this hard work is worth it.
This is not what our modern doctors say, it is what everyone told you about TCM pediatrics two or three hundred years ago. We have a saying in Chinese medicine, "Doctors are not good doctors in the third life" - that is, doctors, only to say that three generations have been practicing medicine, to you you are an accomplished person.
Wan Mi Zhai did this, so in him, a lot of his pediatric views, I believe, are the knowledge accumulated by the ancestors.

This matter should also make us reflect on how much excellent traditional culture we have missed due to our pride.
The answer to what wisdom is hidden in traditional customs may not be understood by many of us now, but it is unfair to deny them in this regard.
I think we should at least leave a pair of eyes for these traditional cultural practices, a pair of eyes to listen, to explore why it exists, and not to let the wisdom behind these disappear in vain.
How many people are destroying the health of their children in the name of "love"?
For example, excessive diet has become the number one factor in the pathogenesis of young children. Young children have a weak spleen and stomach, excessive diet, greasy meat, spleen and stomach weakness, and are affected by it. If the spleen and stomach are weak, the righteous qi will be weak, and all kinds of diseases will arise.
Many parents usually do not give their children much staple food, but give their children a lot of meat. Have you ever wondered why staple foods are called staple foods? As the name suggests, it is the most basic need of our people, the spleen and stomach belong to the soil, and all the grains are yellow, and the land is a color, which is exactly the so-called grain shengjin, which is exactly the truth.
Now many parents have great misunderstandings about their own eating and living habits. They think that there is no nutrition in rice, and meat is nutritious, and meat contains mainly fat and protein, and they think that protein is nutrition.
In fact, a person's daily need for protein is very limited, nutritionists have said that an egg is enough to supply the body's demand for protein for a day. Excess protein becomes a toxin when eaten – the body cannot accept what needs to be excreted, and in a broad sense it is a toxin.
At this time, the child does not want so much protein, but also needs to spend energy and qi and blood to excrete it. In addition, the current meat contains too many bad things such as hormones and chemical residues, which is also very harmful to the child's physical function.
I have been exposed to many cases of tics, hernias, and stubborn eczema in children, and their common feature is that parents will give them a lot of meat, chicken legs two at a time. Such a child's spleen and stomach will definitely be damaged.
Why is it bad? In addition to the meat mentioned earlier, which does not provide the basic nutrition of the human body, there is also the problem of energy field.
The spleen belongs to the soil, what is the soil? From the perspective of the energy of the five elements, it needs the energy of the earth to replenish, and the five grains are the most complete of the earthy qi. If you don't give him a staple food, just give him meat, and his spleen and stomach can get the earthy qi?

There is also a kind of child's spleen and stomach function is not good, that is, children who eat under stressful situations.
You are chasing your child to feed him, and he is eating in a very depressed state.
The ancients "ate without speaking, sleeping without speaking", and the ancients did not advocate discipline of children when eating.
The child is forced to eat under a kind of pressure, crying and eating, which not only causes the child's spleen and stomach function to be poor, but also causes problems with his entire body. Adverse results include: hernia, intestinal basket, anemia, developmental delay, fatty liver, abnormal heartbeat and so on.
In the final analysis, these problems are all related to the weakness of the spleen and stomach, because the spleen is the foundation of the day after tomorrow. Remind parents again, do not think of strengthening nutrition as soon as you hear about spleen deficiency and qi and blood deficiency.
In "Dream of the Red Chamber", after Jia Baoyu had a serious illness, Jia Fu let him eat a long period of porridge and small dishes.
After the illness, they do not give supplements, do not give nutritious food, why is this? Aristocratic families like Jia Fu, they are well versed in the way of health, knowing that children are sick after giving birth, the body is still weak, and they cannot digest and absorb so much meat and greasy things.
Give him what he can absorb, let his spleen and stomach slowly regain function in a relaxed state. This is actually a way of thinking that is in line with life. What is our current way of thinking? All are the simplest and most brutal.
There is a folk saying: If you want children to be safe, three points of hunger and cold.
Children are prone to food accumulation, and once they eat accumulation, they are prone to colds. Some children are prone to heat and cold, in fact, they wear too much, many parents think that children are as fragile as the elderly, so they wear a lot of clothes for their children. There are also many elderly people with children who like to measure their own somatosensory temperature to measure children.
In fact, children are yang and strong, belonging to the body of pure yang, you see that children do not roast fire in winter, only adults need to roast fire. And the child is active by nature, and if he wears too much, he cannot dissipate heat.
At present, children drink sweet drinks as water, sweet things into the spleen, more sweet will cause hyperactivity and imbalance of the spleen, but also indirectly affect the function of the kidneys.
Now there is a saying that children drink too many sweet drinks are prone to leukemia, in addition to the drink has a lot of chemical synthesis of sugar, it is said that the root is still "spleen and kidney".
Children drink those sweet drinks as water, the function of the kidneys must be restrained, the main bone of the kidneys, and leukemia is an abnormality of the bone marrow, all of which are related. Therefore, the five flavors are invincible, how can you drink sweet drinks as water?

Today's children's intellectual development is too early, two or three years old began to send to early education, kindergarten to learn English literacy, learn this, learn that.
Thinking about the spleen hurts, and when a person thinks about the body, he will be depressed. When the child is giving birth, of course he will "bruise" when he thinks about it.
In addition to emotions, eating too much, long-term accumulation of food can also cause congestion. Congestion will affect the child's physical development, but also cause the child's psychological depression, resulting in unhealthy psychological development.
Generally speaking, congestion is only caused by adults, the concept of life has changed, and many diseases are in advance.
In fact, parents are out of "love" to cause these problems. Let the child eat more, wear more and move less, out of love; not to let the child lose at the starting line, to learn knowledge very early, but also out of love.
Whenever I hear people say that their children are so smart, they sing at the age of one and can read at the age of two, so they let the children learn a lot of things early.
People in ancient times thought differently from us. The ancients did not want others to say that their children were smart. The ancients also did not want their children to be precocious, because the ancients were all "Tao" thinking and hoped to go with the flow.
Everyone should calm down and take a closer look at this era, how many people are destroying the health of children in the name of "love"?
Sometimes I would advise some parents, especially the elders, to feed their children a little less and wear less. They often ask: Am I going to harm my own children?
If a person goes astray, the harder he goes, the farther he is wrong. Similarly, if this "love" for children has gone into a misunderstanding, then the more cut the love, the deeper the hurt.
