As a child, I was frail. Fortunately, I met a kind teacher and learned internal martial arts amid the morning mists of the mountains, identifying the properties of herbs by the veins in their leaves. The old man never spoke of the “Way.” He only asked why pines and cypresses did not wither in winter, and why streams wound around rocks.
Later, when I went to study in the city, a second teacher gave me a yellowed copy of Treatise on Cold Damage. Only then did I realize that my childhood days spent crouching by the medicine stove, watching the fire, had already etched the ways of Chinese medicine into my bones and blood: all things nurture one another, the seasons turn, and a person is but one ingredient in the universe.
Then I met a third teacher. He spoke neither of prescriptions nor pulse diagnosis, only saying that clouds are in the blue sky and water in the bottle. The order of Confucianism and the compassion of Buddhism suddenly blended into moonlight between the three fingers I used to take a pulse.
Now that I have written this, my medical skills are complete, and the road ahead remains unwritten. May the way of medicine never fade, and may its light be passed from one generation to the next.
It's great. I am a lover of Chinese medicine and the Book of Changes. According to my knowledge, many of the things mentioned in the book are correct. I once wanted to become a disciple, but later I read a lot of books and found that you can learn slowly by yourself. The mind must be calm, the person must be stable, and the goal must be firm. From Wang Yangming's point of view 😏, whatever you learn, you are cultivating yourself. Inner sage and outer king (ง•̀_•́)ง Everyone, cheers (ง•̀_•́)ง
The sentence "Why do pines and cypresses not wither in the winter, why do streams flow around stones?" Turns the abstract Taoist philosophy into concrete natural objects, making it easy to lift the weight. His sentences are short and steady, and they penetrate people's hearts inch by inch like diagnosing the pulse. In the current noisy Internet literature ecology, this restrained poetry and non-pandering attitude constitute a rare literary character.
There are so many good teachers, fathers and masters in life. . . I am slowly taught and guided on the road of life. At least I will not go too far. I cannot let down my teacher. I must correct myself and make three mistakes a day. . Envious. . .
I am grateful to the senior for being very pertinent and easy to understand. It is also a traditional Chinese medicine book about correct knowledge and mindfulness. The content is not boring and covers a lot of content. It is really a book about getting started with traditional Chinese medicine or improving your practice. My sincere thanks to the author. . Record this knowledge in such easy-to-understand language and pass it on to the world 👍👍
Rarely good article! It is most important to first establish a traditional Chinese medicine thinking, and no matter what the situation is, relaxation is the soul. Unexpectedly, the content was not rated highly. Follow the author. I am a doctor of folk heritage. I have the opportunity to communicate 🙂
The author is young but has a deep understanding. Reading this book made me re-examine what I have learned before. It made me look at traditional Chinese medicine and the entire Chinese culture from the perspective of traditional Chinese culture. They are not isolated, but a system that is jointly verified. After reading this book, I feel that I should read the Analects of Confucius again and read the Huangdi Neijing. My perceptions will be very different. Thank you to the author for opening a window for me to re-understand traditional culture. Thank you.
I like this book. This process of thinking in traditional Chinese medicine is not metaphysics, but the rules by which ancient people viewed the world. We must respect the laws, master the laws, and learn to apply the laws.
The author writes very well 👍 👍 👍 The content is easy to understand, lively and interesting, and you can learn a lot.
Still worth seeing
This cultivation of the mind is so difficult! The strange winter swimming pigeon also travels very far on this road.
