Chinese culture is vast and profound, in the 5,000-year-old vast culture, our ancestors summed up a lot of wisdom, and the sayings in it are even more concise and meaningful, which are still prosperous after thousands of years, and are worth learning from.
In daily life, we look at whether a person's body is healthy, usually described by spirit, such as the body is very healthy, it will be said that the spirit is full, on the contrary, if you are sick, you will use the spirit to describe it.
There are also some related sayings circulating among the people, such as the saying "old do not drain the residual essence, less do not eat strong fire", which is very reasonable, and it also has certain reference significance now.
It is understood that "old do not leak residual essence, less do not eat strong fire" is actually evolved from a sentence in the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Canon", which is very rich in connotation.
The text says: Twenty people, one leak in four days; Thirty, eight days and one leak; Forty, one leak on sixteen days; Those who are fifty years old, one leak on the twenty-first day; In the age of sixty, one leak in January.
The "jing" and "fire" mentioned here belong to the Taoist terms, which refer to the essence and yang qi respectively, and together they are called "essence qi god", which constitute the basis of the human body's life consciousness, and these three are very closely related and often complement each other.
Old does not leak residual sperm. It means that when people are old, the residual essence should not be easily discharged or consumed, and the "essence" here refers to the essence blood, extending to the male thing, which is not difficult to understand for adults with some experience.
People are older, not as energetic as when they were young, it is necessary to restrain their impulses and control their desires, so as not to overindulge and overdraw the body.
Especially after fifty years, the less "essence" in the body, must attract attention, must not consume the little essence they have left, this will only cause bitter fruit, regret.
Therefore, after entering old age, all organs of the body have aged, should do what they can, don't always disobey the old, everything is fierce, recuperate, retain the spirit is the king, the so-called "old does not discharge residual essence" contains this truth.
Don't eat fire. It means that young people are already alive, strong and strong, and the yang energy on their bodies is very sufficient, even if they work hard for a day, as long as they rest and sleep, their vitality can be quickly restored.
However, in order to supplement the body, some people eat a large number of supplements, nutrition has exceeded the load of the body, but will play the opposite role, not only the energy is not raised, but also may dissipate the body's righteousness, and then prone to disease.
The so-called "full water is overflowing, full moon is loss", young people are already strong and strong, liver fire, at this time, if the big supplement special supplement, seems to be good for the body, more vigorous, in fact, it is equivalent to overdrawing the body in advance, and the future troubles are endless.
The emperors of the ancient dynasties, in order to prolong life and prosper incense, did not think about how to strengthen their bodies when they were at the height of their youth, but pursued those "yang fire" things, and eventually suffered from them and devoured the evil fruits.
In general, after the above interpretation, I believe that everyone has a better understanding of the saying "old do not leak the residual essence, less do not eat strong fire".
Health is the lifeblood of success, is the capital of life, without health, everything is a floating cloud, but also tells us that no matter what we do, we must tailor, everything must have a degree, after this degree, it will be too late, towards the opposite side.
Writing is a practice, and crossing others is also crossing oneself.
