November 18 of this year's lunar calendar is the winter solstice, the winter solstice is a festival and a festival, is the extreme of the sun's southward travel, but also the beginning of the beginning of the yang, as the saying goes: "the winter solstice is a yang birth, the summer solstice is a yin life", so the winter solstice is also called "a yang festival", what is "a yang"? As the old saying goes: "Winter solstice on the pool water, race through a thousand gold squares", what is "upper pool water"?
What is "one yang"?
When the sun travels to 270 degrees of ecliptic longitude, it is the southernmost point of the sun's direct point, which is the time of the winter solstice. After that, the sun's direct sunlight gradually increased, and the day began to grow. Winter is too yin, and the yin qi in winter begins to increase from the beginning of winter until the winter solstice rises to the peak and begins to weaken.
With the weakening of the yin qi, the yang qi begins to appear, the yang that has just appeared is "one yang", among the numbers, nine is the largest yang number, so people start from the winter solstice to "count nine", the so-called "number nine" is also the number of yang qi, 1929 is also one yang and two yang, counting to nine nine eighty-one days, it is also warm in the spring.
Therefore, from the beginning of the winter solstice, the initial yang qi is the yang qi, and after nine days, when it enters the second nine, it also enters the two yang qi, and with the strengthening of the yang qi, the yin qi is also weakening. Therefore, "the winter solstice is born of one yang", the heavens are born of water, the earth is 60%, and the water is born of the qi of one yang, so the water of the winter solstice is "the water of the first sun".
As the saying goes, "There is rain on the winter solstice for nine days", because the yang qi is nine days. Before the winter solstice, the ground does not rise, the weather does not fall, and the up and down are not passed, so it is called occlusion into winter. After the winter solstice, the sun returns to the north, and the earth's gas gradually has a temperature and begins to rise, so the winter solstice is the dividing line of winter, the dividing line between the yin and the yang, and the beginning of the communication between heaven and earth.
What is "Upper Pond Water"?
The winter solstice is born in a yang, that is, the first movement of a yang, and the movement of all things in the yang, Shuyun: "The first move of the hand is in the first yang, and the first movement of the yang is xuanhuang; the innate one is obtained from it, and the refining of JinDan is the medicine king." This "炁" is homophonous with "qi", which means that the kung fu of starting lies in yiyang, and the qi of yiyang is "one yang" after being collected into meditation, regulating the body and mind, so that the body and body produce new vitality.
For example, the yang in "earthquake for thunder" represents the qi of the first movement of the yang, and the qi of the yang runs in the body for a week, which is called "one wait". "One wait" is also the climate used for the intersection of the sun and the moon, for example, in the "Mixed Yuan Zhenjing", it is said: "Waiting, the heavens and the earth, the sun and the moon are combined with the climate." The whole body was full of qi, but from the Yuan Palace, the tide was under the tongue, and the mouth was full of Tsu, which was also a waiting. This cover edge is first hidden from the spleen, born with a hundred flavors of five spices of jin, turning to a number of days in the week, out of the nose, from the kan palace to the tongue under the two tricks, raw jin liquid full of mouth, the number is known as a wait. ”
It means that the winter solstice yang qi is born, this initial yang qi is the purest, after entering the body, running for a week, that is, walking all over the body, and then the tongue holds the upper part of the mouth, so that the mouth produces saliva, and this saliva is the "water of the upper pool", the water born of the yang qi, the benefits are many.
What is the use of "upper pool water"?
The water of the upper pond is also the saliva in the mouth, and it is recorded in the "Records of History": "Chang Sangjun also knew that Bian Que was very human, but he gave bian que his medicine: "Drinking is the water of the above pool, and it should be known for thirty days." The "Warring States Policy" also says: "Chang Sangjun drinks the water of the pool above bian que and can see the internal organs." Bian Que became a generation of famous doctors with this.
There are roughly two theories about the so-called "Shangchi Water", one is the "Half-Day River", that is, the water that falls from the sky, which is the water without roots. Another theory is that the saliva in the mouth, that is, the top of the tongue on the pool, the mouth of the jin, for the water of the upper pool, is a kind of "water" produced by man himself, born of the qi of one yang.
After the winter solstice is born in a yang, the yang qi born enters the body, runs around the body, so that the mouth is born of jin, this "water" is "shangchi water", and it is the shangchi water born of the yang qi, which is the best. As the saying goes, "water is the source of life", Li Shizhen even divided the water of various solar terms and different environments into more than fifty kinds, and its use is different.
Winter solstice on the pool water, race over a thousand gold square
The winter solstice is the time when the yang qi is first born, and the water in the upper pond at this time is also the initial yang qi, so that the mouth is born with jin, and the jin liquid that is born is the best "water". Of course, this belongs to a method left by the ancients, which means that after the winter solstice, more jin liquid is produced in the mouth and swallowed, and you can be strong and strong, and you are not afraid of cold, humid and dry winds.
