春季养护肝脏,用芍药川芎汤送服;夏季养护心脏,用白茯苓汤送服;秋季养护肺脏,用茯苓桔梗汤送服;冬季养护肾脏,用肉苁蓉乌头汤送服。其余各种杂症,根据症状调整引经药后服用,此处不再详细记录。
按《内经》记载:古代医生治疗未发生的疾病,而不治疗已发生的疾病,所以被称为上工(高明的医生)。饮食和男女之事,是人的两大欲望,尤其应当顺应时节进行摄养,不要使其过度,这样才不会生病。然而很多人对此不明白,现在简要陈述我所听到的见解如下:所谓饮食方面,就是《内经》所说的“阴气产生的根源在于五味,但五脏的损伤也源于五味”。如果口腹之欲强烈而进食,不要使其过度,过度就会伤害正气。谨慎调和五味,骨骼端正,筋脉柔和,气血流通,腠理致密,骨气精坚,遵循养生之道,就能长久享有天命。这是李东垣推崇的枳术丸之法。所谓男女方面,就是《内经》所说的“没有阳则阴无法生成,没有阴则阳无法化生”,这是天地自然的奥妙,也是人道的大本原则。但这涉及爱河欲海,只有智慧之士面对美景时能懈怠情欲,在交合时使精气不摇动,虽然气息有所感应但神志保持不动,以逸待劳,以静制动,视色为空,以无为有,夺得至宝从而增加寿命之源。世道下降以来,百姓大多沉溺其中,乐于享乐,放纵情欲无边无际,这难以成就却容易亏损的阴精,如何能够供给呢?这就是朱丹溪创立补阴丸的原因。又据冠氏说:人如果没有听闻大道,就会放纵心意,沉迷于生活的快乐,用精神去追逐智巧,用忧虑畏惧去追逐得失,用劳苦去追逐礼节,用身体生命去追逐财利。这四种追逐不能去除,心就会产生疾病。极力劳累形体,燥热暴怒导致气逆,当风饮酒,嗜好辛辣咸味,肝脏就会生病。饮食生冷、温凉失度,久卧、过饱或过饥,脾脏就会生病。久坐湿地,强力入水,纵欲房劳,导致三田漏溢,肾脏就会生病。(大声呼叫、经常辩论争执、加倍应答、冒犯寒暑变化、恣意食用咸苦食物)肺部就会生病。五种疾病既然产生,所以人未老先瘦,未瘦先病,病来了就层层叠加,重了必然死亡。唉!这都是因为不思考而妄自行动,自己招致的祸患。讲究卫生的君子如果能谨慎这五点,再领悟饮食和男女两方面的理论,就可以终身无病了。经文说:治疗未发生的疾病,而不是治疗已发生的疾病,说的就是这个道理。
In spring, to nourish the Liver, take it with Shaoyao Chuanxiong Tang (Peony and Ligusticum Decoction); in summer, to nourish the Heart, take it with Bai Fuling Tang (White Poria Decoction); in autumn, to nourish the Lungs, take it with Fuling Jiegeng Tang (Poria and Platycodon Decoction); in winter, to nourish the Kidneys, take it with Rousongrong Wutou Tang (Cistanche and Aconite Decoction). For other miscellaneous diseases, adjust the guiding herbs according to symptoms before administration; these are not recorded in detail here.
According to the *Neijing* (Classic of Internal Medicine): Ancient physicians treated diseases before they occurred, rather than after they had developed, thus earning the title of "Shang Gong" (Superior Physicians). Diet and sexual activity are two major human desires; one must especially adhere to seasonal regulation and avoid excess to prevent illness. However, many people fail to understand this. Herein, I briefly recount what I have heard: Regarding diet, as stated in the *Neijing*, "Yin is generated from the Five Flavors, yet the Five Zang Organs are injured by the Five Flavors." If one indulges in taste preferences through eating and drinking, one must not exceed moderation; excess will damage the upright Qi. By carefully harmonizing the Five Flavors, the bones remain straight, tendons flexible, Qi and Blood flow freely, interstices (Cou Li) become dense, and bone Qi becomes refined. Following such methods allows one to long enjoy their heavenly mandate. This is the principle advocated by Li Dongyuan regarding Zhizhu Wan (Immature Bitter Orange and Atractylodes Macrocephala Pill). Regarding sexual activity, as stated in the *Neijing*, "Without Yang, Yin cannot be generated; without Yin, Yang cannot be transformed." This is the profound mystery of nature and the fundamental principle of human conduct. However, this pertains to the river of love and sea of desire; only those of wisdom can restrain their emotions when facing beautiful scenes. During intercourse, essence should not be shaken; although Qi may be stimulated, Shen (Spirit) remains still. One should wait for fatigue with ease, await noise with tranquility, view form as emptiness, and treat non-being as being, thereby seizing the supreme treasure and extending the source of longevity. Since the decline of the world, the people have mostly drowned in pleasure, indulging in endless lust. How can such easily depleted but hard-to-accumulate Yin Essence suffice? This is why Zhu Danxi established Buyin Wan (Nourish Yin Pill). Furthermore, Guan Shi stated: Those who have not heard the Great Dao indulge their minds, becoming lost in worldly pleasures, chasing intellect with spirit, chasing gains and losses with worry and fear, chasing etiquette with labor and hardship, and chasing wealth with body and life. If these four pursuits are not abandoned, the Heart suffers disease. Exerting oneself physically, causing dryness and rage leading to rebellious Qi, drinking while exposed to wind, and craving pungent and salty flavors cause the Liver to suffer disease. Consuming raw or cold foods, immoderate temperatures, prolonged lying down, overeating, or excessive hunger cause the Spleen to suffer disease. Sitting long on damp ground, forcing entry into water, indulging in sexual activity, and causing leakage of the Three Fields cause the Kidney to suffer disease. (Loud calling, frequent arguments, excessive responding, exposure to cold and heat changes, and indiscriminate consumption of salty and bitter foods) cause the Lungs to suffer disease. Once these five diseases arise, one becomes emaciated before old age, and ill before emaciation. When illness strikes, it layers upon itself; if severe, death is inevitable. Alas! These are self-inflicted consequences due to thoughtless and reckless actions. Gentlepersons concerned with health preservation can avoid illness throughout their lives by guarding against these five aspects and comprehending the theories of diet and sexual conduct. The Classic states: "Treat disease before it occurs, not after it has occurred." This is precisely what is meant.
