Chapter 7 What is Qi

I returned to the ward and saw that it was still early, and I was going to find something to see and pass the time. Fortunately, I was very lucky. I didn’t know who left it or the hospital. I found some old magazines in the cabinet at the bedside. I flipped through it casually, but I didn’t see anything good, and I didn’t even have this story.

Finally, I turned to a medical magazine. Others were introductions to health care and advertisements, but there was an article that attracted Ma Guocai's attention. The title was "On the relationship between Qi and the human body."

The beginning of the above reads: "Momentum constitutes the basic substance of the human body, and the movement and change of qi constitutes the life activities of human beings." In the ancient "Jingyue Complete Book" mentioned: "Man has life all depends on this qi", and in the "Medical Law", it also mentioned that "qi gathers and forms, and qi dissipates and forms the form dies." The song "The ancient great writer Wen Tianxiang's song of righteousness" begins: "The heaven and earth have positive energy, and they are mixed and manifold. The lower one is the river and the upper one is the sun and the upper one is the sun and the upper one is the sun and the upper one is the song of righteousness."

What exactly is Qi? There is also a passage in Taoist book "Baopuzi": "The lady is in Qi, and Qi is in people. From heaven and earth to all things, all need Qi to be born. Those who do Qi well should keep their health internally and eliminate evil externally. However, the people do not know how to use it every day."

People use it every day but don’t know that there are many phrases about qi in our lives, including air, weather, oxygen, fire, hot air, cold air, qi, temper, blood, bones, etc.... All of them are all qi!

It seems that there is still some truth, so Ma Guo became interested in this article. He has always heard people say that Qigong and Qigong are all spread to such a magical way. He has no idea what Qi is, and even has risen to the height of spiritual energy. Reiki, look at the myth!

Ma Guo couldn't help but start to savor this article!

In the human body, qi is explained by modern science. Human cells are tens of thousands of biological factories. If people want to move, they need to extract energy from it. We probably call this energy qi, which contains biological energy, heat energy, electrical energy, etc. It is transmitted and transported through the meridians of the human body. Without this energy, the cells will lack vitality.

In traditional Chinese medicine, there is a saying that "qi is the commander of blood, blood is the mother of qi, and qi flows when it flows", which also shows the importance of qi to the human body.

The formation of meridian theory may initially be based on blood vessels, guided by yin and yang and five elements, and then summarized in abstraction. Most meridians are related to certain acupoints, and acupoints can be said to be special parts of the meridian qi and blood that are spread to the body surface. From the clinical process of acupuncture, the point of action is acupoints. By stimulating the acupoints, they play a role in unblocking qi and blood, adjusting the functions of the internal organs, and producing phenomena such as sensation and transmission along the meridians.

Qi is the blood commander, which refers to the effect of Qi on blood, governing and transforming blood. Qi is Yang, which is the driving force, and blood is Yin, which is the basis. Qi also moves through blood, Qi is weak and blood is also weak, Qi is stagnant and blood is also stagnant. If the spleen qi is weak, blood will be lost and overflow. If the qi and fire are strong, blood will be forced to move and discharge.

Blood is the mother of Qi, which means that blood can carry qi and nourish qi. Blood is the carrier of qi. Qi exists in the blood and will not dissipate by relying on blood. It will be transported to the whole body with blood. Blood can also continuously provide nutrition for the circulation of qi and achieve the effect of nourishing qi.

After carefully reading this article, I felt aware of it. The word Qigong suddenly opened its mysterious veil without the illusory and incomprehensible taste that I had imagined before.

Ma Guo couldn't help but remember a scene I saw in a martial arts movie. Regarding the Star-Sucking Technique or similar evil skills, those who have been sucked with their skills or yang energy have become skin and bones, and their faces are pale. It turns out that this is really theoretical basis! If this person's blood and energy are gone, wouldn't it become like this?

Keep reading, here is about breathing and breathing!

In ancient times, people were compared to a small universe, believing that people were born from the energy of heaven and earth, and their teeth were chewed with grains and grains to nourish their bodies and establish their lives; the earth was born from the high mountains as their teeth, and they were eaten and absorbed by the energy of yin and yang. The ears and eyes are the sun and the moon; blood and qi are wind and rain. The sky has nine levels, and people have nine holes; the sky has twenty-four solar terms, and people have twenty-four ribs; the sky has four seasons, and people have four limbs; the four seasons have five elements, and people have five senses, five internal organs, five sounds, and five fingers... If you continue to list, this correspondence and comparison relationship can be said to be everywhere.

"Guanzi? Water Di" says: "Water is the blood and qi of the earth, just like the flow of tendons and veins." It means comparing water to the same tendons and veins as humans. In addition to comparing rivers to tendons and veins, other things in nature are also one-to-one corresponding to the human body - mountains are bones, soil is muscles, plants are hairs, oil is bone marrow, and the holes in mountains and rivers are the nine orifices of the human body. The nine orifices are two ears, two eyes, two noses, one mouth, one front yin, and one back yin. The holes in mountains and rivers are used to exchange earth qi and play a metabolic function, and the human body orifices also have this function.

Tempering is a qi-refining technique in Qigong. Tempering means breathing, and breathing includes external breathing and internal breathing. External breathing refers to the gas exchange between external air and blood in the lungs, also known as lung breathing. The so-called internal breathing is the gas exchange between blood and tissue cells, also known as tissue breathing. Qigong breathing mainly adjusts lung breathing to achieve the uniform, delicate, slow, deep and long degree described by the ancients, "spitting is fine, and suspending is continuous". It will then have a good impact on internal breathing.

Ma Guo had just put down the magazine and worked on it for a long time. It turned out that this is the case with Qigong.

Finally, the article also introduced that in ancient times, qigong was divided into four major levels, practicing essence into qi (transmitting to small circumferences); refining qi into spirit (transmitting to large circumferences and producing yin spirit); refining spirit into emptiness (yang spirit); refining emptiness into Taoism (immortality).

After reading the full article, Ma Guo couldn't help but remembered the qigong books he had read before and had a deeper understanding. Many of your sisters are abridged versions! You think that qigong is a prohibited H book, and it is also abridged. How to practice the whole article, and how to practice it! No wonder modern people regard this thing as a deception.

Having said that, Ma Guo became interested in practicing Qigong again because he understood that Qigong is not fictional, it really exists. The human body itself has the existence of Qi and it runs naturally in the body. It is simple like blood and qi and oxygen! If you don’t understand what kind of existence Qi is and don’t believe in the existence of Qi, let alone Qigong.

Although it is not as extraordinary as described in the novel, regardless of the possibilities mentioned later, whether it is true or false, it is good to have a good body, and after the big and small cycles are cleared, it is also good to have a healthy body. However, it is said that it can also increase the endurance of a certain part!

Ma Guo had a new understanding of Qigong when he said that, and decided to pick up the sleeping exercises that had always been used as sleeping techniques! Lying on the bed, calming down his mood and breathing, several thoughts still emerged in his brain, but when he thought of some things that have happened recently, he also remembered what he saw and heard in the hospital just now, and when he thought of the newborn child, he had a deeper understanding of life deep in his heart! Human life is the foundation, Qi constitutes matter, and only by mastering Qi can he control his own life.

Gradually, my mind became firm, and all my thoughts gradually came out of my mind. My previous impetuousness slowly disappeared, my mentality began to calm down, and I only realized my breathing, and thought about guarding my ancestral orifices. I felt the expansion and contraction of my qi and blood during my breathing. I didn’t have to think about it and feel my own life.

At some point, he seemed to have entered a state, and he could still hear the sounds outside, but those sounds seemed to be unable to fluctuate his heartstrings anymore. Occasionally, there were still distracting thoughts, but they were like waves in the water. His heart was like a rock and could no longer shake his mind. His whole mind only stayed in the dantian, and his breathing became slow and long, as if it took him a long time to breathe.

I don’t know how long it took to be in the middle of this, and I felt like I was floating in the clouds. This feeling of comfort and beauty cannot be described in words. It’s like thousands of hands massaging your cells, or the whole body is completely relaxed and entering a sense of weightlessness, which is really addictive.

It took him a while to wake up from this state, and when he took the cell phone at the head of the bed, he was surprised to find that it was almost five o'clock the next morning.

He couldn't help but remember a sentence he mentioned in his sleeping exercises: "Silently hide the use, breathing is deep. Lying on the white clouds, there is no soul in the world." That is to say, the state of breathing just now, with deep and distant breathing, like lying on the white clouds, free and easy, as if all the troubles in the world have disappeared.

Getting up from the hospital bed made me feel very relaxed. The groggy feeling in my head was not so obvious. Uh! I also farted two times.

Although there was no qi sensation mentioned in the book, Ma Guo firmly believed that as long as he persisted in practicing, it would always appear. Because he firmly believed in the existence of qigong.

The first time I experienced the feeling of Qigong, he really felt relieved and a little excited! His whole life and the whole future seemed to be full of passion. The dreams of many years and the things he had been curious about for many years finally made a breakthrough today and a new and good start.

He is confident that in the future, he will definitely practice qi! He must understand what qigong looks like!

There is a vague goal in my heart. It is said that when Qigong reaches fetal breathing, he can rejuvenate. How bad it was at that time. Seeing that people who are about the same age as me are all wrinkled, their limbs are fat, and their figure is distorted. And my brother is still young. At that time, classmates will reunite, hahaha... he can say: "Brother, how old is your daughter? When will I introduce it to me!"

After finishing my heart, I couldn't help but feel a little contempt for my character. It's really a bad thing!

I was in a good mood, and I couldn't help but hum Li Lifen's song "The Smile Smile".
Chapter completed!
