Exploring the Marrow Cleansing Sutra: The health-preserving code in ancient wisdom. In the long history of Chinese health-preserving culture, the Marrow Cleansing Sutra is like a bright pearl, exuding a mysterious and unique light. What kind of secrets does this scripture, which has been endowed with many magical colors by martial arts novels, hide? According to legend, during the Taihe period of Emperor Li Ming of the Later Wei Dynasty, Bodhidharma from India came to China to preach and stayed in the Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Henan for 9 years. Later, when the Shaolin Temple monks were repairing the wall where Bodhidharma faced, they came across an iron box containing two sutras, "Marrow Washing" and "Yi Jin". The "Marrow Washing Sutra" came to the world. However, there is still debate in the academic circles about its real author. Some people think that it was written in the name of Bodhidharma, while others firmly believe that it is closely related to Bodhidharma. From the content point of view, "The Marrow Cleansing Sutra" is not only a simple martial arts secret book, but also a complete health care system. It regulates the body and mind through unique breathing, body movements and meditation methods to achieve the effects of strengthening the body and extending life. Its core is to promote blood circulation throughout the body, strengthen the metabolism of human tissue cells, and improve and regulate the physiological functions of all parts of the body through the exercise of key parts such as the spine. There are a total of eighteen movements in the complete set of Marrow Cleansing Meridian, most of which involve vibration, rotation, flexion and extension of the lumbar spine. According to the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the middle spine of the lumbar spine is where the Governor Vessel passes and is the path for the essence to rise and fall. The kidneys are the "innate foundation and the source of the essence", storing essence, controlling bones, generating marrow, and connecting to the brain. Regular exercise of the lumbar spine can make the Ren and Du meridians flow, strengthen the body and consolidate the essence, and make the bones, marrow, and brain strong and strong, with strong vitality. When practicing the Marrow Cleansing Meridian, it is very important to calm your mind and relax your whole body. You must use your mind to move the qi, sink the qi to the Dantian, and then lower it to the Yongquan point. For example, in the "Split Legs and Kneads" movement, the arm swings need to be relaxed and natural, and the legs should be flexed and extended to drive the waist to tremble. The swing range of the arms should not be too large, and the breathing should be natural; during the "Searching for the Moon in the Sea", turn the palms to hold the spine upright, stretch the legs and waist, straighten the arms, hold the arms up to inhale, hook the hands down to exhale, and take deep, long and thin breaths. In modern fast-paced life, people are faced with various pressures, and their physical and mental states are prone to problems. This ancient health-preserving method, the Marrow Cleansing Sutra, provides us with a way to return to nature and recuperate our body and mind. It helps us find inner peace and physical health in the noisy world, and feel the unique charm of traditional health-preserving wisdom.
