let’s talk about an interesting phenomenon first. People all over the world, rich or poor, have a common image when they are born and die, that is, they come with their fists clenched and let go. We all know that there is one in front of and behind Di Zi Mao.
the greater the “fist power”, the longer the service life?
the word “Zi” is the big head image of a child at birth, with a big head above and a small body below. After the birth of a child, people observed a common image of a child’s hand at birth, that is, holding the big fingers in the four fingers, which is the ancient pictograph of the word “ugly”. In Taoism, the holding method of holding the thumb between the four fingers is called holding solid method.
so why do children clench their fists like this when they are born《 In the correspondence between the five zang organs and the five gods in the Yellow Emperor’s Internal Classic, the God corresponding to the liver is the soul. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that if the liver Qi is particularly sufficient, the human soul is particularly sufficient. Just like an oil lamp, if the oil is particularly sufficient, the light will be particularly bright. This light is a God. When a child is born, the fontanel (xn) on his head is not closed, and the fontanel is considered to be the place where the soul comes in and out, so the holding method when a child is born is to hold the soul. Taoism believes that the root of the ring finger is the wind orifice of the liver, so the holding method is to pinch the thumb at the root of the ring finger. When a child is just born, he holds it very tightly. This is because people are born with sufficient liver qi and strengthen the soul at the same time.
when people die, they also have a common image, that is, to give up and go. This elephant hint gives us an important truth. At the moment of death, the liver and soul scatter, and the two hands can no longer be fixed. Once you give up, the grip strength and liver Qi go with the soul.
in this way, human birth and death are closely related to the mechanism of liver qi. Liver belongs to the nature of Jueyin in traditional Chinese medicine. It has the ability to produce hair and reach the nature of strip. At the same time, this hair must be able to converge. Therefore, when describing the wooden nature of the liver, traditional Chinese medicine takes the word “Qu Zhi”, which is its convergence, and “Zhi” is its strip expression. Therefore, the way Chinese traditional culture treats things is very dialectical.
the hand is like a miniature version of the body. Each finger corresponds to different body organs. Often observe the half moon mark and pain state of each finger, and you can know where the red light is on. Look, smell, ask, cut. Dry, peeling and sore fingers are not just skin problems.
1. Peeling around the finger edge
there are always barbs around the finger edge. Does the dead skin come again? This is the end of the poor blood circulation performance! Many microvessels gather at the root of the nail. When the blood in the body becomes thicker, it is difficult to pass through these small microvessels, which will lead to peeling or warping of the skin at the root of the nail due to poor blood circulation.
II. There are transverse or longitudinal lines on the nail surface
. The normal nail surface should be smooth without obvious longitudinal or transverse lines. The nail surface is not smooth enough, and vertical lines appear one after another. Generally, it will appear after overwork and excessive use of the brain; These vertical lines appear clearly when you lack sleep. If the vertical striation always exists, it may be a precursor of poor heart operation; If horizontal lines appear, it indicates insufficient HP.
III. number of half months of finger root
nail half month mark is the boundary of yin and yang meridians and the representative of human essence and Qi, so it is also called health circle. Ten fingers add up to 8 – 10, accounting for one fifth of the nail area. Milky white is the best. The whiter it is, the stronger its energy is. If 10 fingernails have no or only a little half moon mark, it means that the foundation is cold, and the body’s hands and feet are particularly afraid of cold.
IV. brittle and easily broken nails indicate malnutrition
stratification of normal nails is often related to endocrine disorders caused by malnutrition and disordered living habits. In severe cases, it is also accompanied by visceral lesions. It is suggested to correct living habits and do a comprehensive physical examination at the same time.
look at health from the color of your nails: what color are your nails?
healthy nails:
is pink without spots and lines.
if the nail is pale and bloodless, it indicates a loss of life and blood.
if the nail is purple, it is a precursor of arteriosclerosis, high blood lipids, or heart stagnation.
if the nail is blue, it is severe cold and blood stasis.
if the nails turn yellow, there may be something wrong with the liver and gallbladder, or poor blood glucose metabolism.
if the nails are blue, it indicates obstruction of the lungs, such as asthma or emphysema.
the index finger is
longer than the ring finger. Women have higher fertility, modesty, sensitivity, relatively easy to develop breast cancer, and do not like to take risks. Men have weak fertility, strong oral expression ability, weak aggression and poor sense of direction.
the ring finger is
longer than the index finger. The female is relatively weak, overconfident, relatively uneasy to develop breast cancer and is very risk taking. Men have strong fertility, weak oral expression ability, strong aggression, are better at mathematics, and are more likely to suffer from autism.
if we want to live a long life, we should often exercise the grip strength of our hands. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, fingers and meridians are interlinked. From thumb to little thumb, they correspond to human lung, large intestine, pericardium, triple energizer, heart and small intestine, and other important acupoints are also concentrated. Omnidirectional finger movement can not only dredge the meridians, but also effectively develop brain cells. Among them, making fingers “walk” on the table quickly is a good choice. There are rich and interesting finger “walking” methods at home and abroad.
finger movement method
“finger skateboarding” has been popular abroad since 3 years ago, which was invented by a skateboarding enthusiast in the United States. In order to practice his favorite skateboard in rainy days, he can press his fingers instead of his feet on a miniature skateboard about the size of his index finger. Beginners usually practice simple forward and backward on the table. When their fingers can easily control the fingerboard skateboard, they can try to fly over a pen, a ruler, a mouse, or even skip a book or a paper cup without letting the fingerboard skateboard fall off. This imaginative idea quickly spread and became a popular fingertip movement.
our domestic finger movement is also very rich. The methods of finger walking are flexible and diverse. You can not only walk the word “one” horizontally like a crab, but also walk the word “meter” and “8”, as well as the five pointed star and S-shaped route. Around 8 o’clock every morning and evening is the time when we have the clearest mind and the best memory, and it is also the best time to practice finger exercises. Each time you practice for 15-20 minutes, you can increase the blood flow of the brain, activate some brain cells in sleep, and train the coordination function of the brain. Therefore, finger walking is a good brain exercise. In addition, due to the increase of cerebral blood flow, human immunity will also rise.
walnut kneading
in daily life, we should move our fingers more when we are free. In the past, the old people had a good exercise method – kneading walnuts, that is, putting two walnuts in the palm of the hand and kneading them. This method can move well to each finger, and the walnuts just formed an image of Tai Chi in the palm of the hand, so it is also called Tai Chi ball.
ten finger percussion
ten finger percussion is a good exercise method, that is, let the ten fingers of our hands relative to each other. This method exercises the well points on the fingers. It not only exercises the flexibility of the hands, but also exercises the liver qi. It is also very good for the health preservation of our brain. A girl with cold hands and feet must often knock with her fingers, so that her blood can reach the ends of her limbs.
for white-collar workers who often sit in front of the computer for a long time, when their fingers are stiff and their wrists are sore, they might as well let their fingers “walk” on the table. After walking, kneading their finger belly and clenching their fists can reduce the risk of “carpal tunnel syndrome”. From 3-year-old children to the elderly, you can practice simple and beneficial finger exercises.
