"Yu Jian" 24 Solar Terms • Xiaoxue丨Listen to "Electronic Chinese Medicine" and Enjoy "Cyber ​​Life"

“No injections, no medicine, the whole health maintenance depends on listening to folk songs.” Following the recent popularity of the Chinese herbal sour plum soup, “electronic Chinese medicine” has recently attracted the attention of young people. The main point is to keep pace with the times.

On November 21, the reporter interviewed Hou Junlin, a doctor of medicine, associate professor and master's supervisor at Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, to learn about the five-element health playlist that is more suitable for the physique of young Chinese people, and to listen to "electronic Chinese medicine" and enjoy "cyber life" together.

With the arrival of the Minor Snow solar term, the weather is getting colder. With the decrease in sunshine time and people's outdoor activities, depression, sadness, loneliness, melancholy and other emotions are likely to follow. "According to traditional health theory, sadness and joy in mood will affect physical health to a certain extent. Therefore, during the Minor Snow season, we should pay attention to regulating our emotions and keep our mood optimistic and cheerful," said Hou Junlin.

“Electronic Chinese medicine” is popular

What exactly is "electronic Chinese medicine"? Hou Junlin explained that, in a popular sense, the "electronic Chinese medicine" currently popular on the Internet refers to the five-element music used to prevent and treat diseases under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory.

As a natural and healthy way of keeping in good health, it has attracted more and more attention and love from young people. Speaking of the reason why "electronic Chinese medicine" has become a hardcore health method for the post-00s, Hou Junlin told reporters that the "electronic prescription" that sounds more "sci-fi" is actually scientific. "Electronic Chinese medicine" is based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, emphasizing the correspondence between the five tones and the five internal organs, and regulating the functions of the corresponding internal organs through music of different modes, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing and curing diseases.

"Because 'electronic Chinese medicine' is convenient and fashionable, it is easy to obtain and is more in line with the modern young people's pursuit of new things. Moreover, by listening to this music, young people can indeed relax their minds and bodies in their busy work and life, regulate their emotions, and thus improve their own health level." Hou Junlin said.

"Listening to music to cure diseases" is not a science fiction legend

"When a song ends, the disease goes away and the person is at peace." What people now call "electronic Chinese medicine" for health preservation and disease prevention is the five-element music therapy. In ancient my country, the recognition of the efficacy of music therapy can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. "The Book of Music in the Records of the Grand Historian" records that "music is used to stir the blood, circulate the spirit and harmonize the heart." "Baihutong·Ritual Music" also records that "harmony of the five sounds nourishes all things." Based on the theory of the five elements, the Chinese medical classic "Huangdi Neijing" organically combines the five sounds, the five internal organs and the five emotions, and gives a detailed description of music therapy, constructing the basic framework of the theory of traditional Chinese music therapy, which has a profound impact on the development and application of the theory of five-tone therapy.

"Ancient Chinese medicine believes that just like the combination of prescriptions, the five-tone therapy of Chinese medicine regulates emotions through the combination of musical instruments and the change of tones, resonates with the qi of the internal organs, and achieves the effect of unblocking meridians and invigorating the spirit." Hou Junlin introduced that music was originally used as a means of soothing the mood, and gradually developed into disease prevention and treatment. Five-element music therapy is a method of using music with one of the five tones as the main tune to treat diseases under the guidance of Chinese medicine theory and following the law of the five elements' generation, restraint and transformation.

Modern medical theory holds that when musical vibrations match the physiological vibrations in the human body, such as heart rate, heart rhythm, breathing, blood pressure, etc., physiological resonance will occur, thereby regulating the human body.

Now, many netizens have started to prepare "electronic prescriptions" for themselves. "Purple Bamboo Tune" nourishes the heart, "Eighteen Beats of the Hujia" nourishes the liver, and "Ten Sides of Ambush" nourishes the spleen and stomach... Can it really be done this way? Hou Junlin said that the five-tone therapy of ancient music is to influence emotions through the use of different scales and timbres, thereby acting on the five internal organs and improving health. The "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" believes that the five tones of Jiao, Zheng, Gong, Shang, and Yu correspond to the five emotions of anger, joy, thinking, sadness, and fear, as well as the five internal organs of liver, heart, spleen, lung, and kidney. Different emotions will affect the functions of the corresponding internal organs, and music of different modes can adjust the corresponding emotions, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the functions of the corresponding internal organs.

The horn sound enters the liver

Jiaoyin, Jiaoyin is smooth and peaceful, friendly and cheerful, with the characteristics of "wood", corresponding to the "liver" of the five internal organs, can relieve liver depression, regulate emotions, and treat liver and gallbladder diseases such as liver qi stagnation, irritability and irritability. Music dominated by Jiaoyin includes melodious and comfortable songs played by ancient flute, bamboo flute and wooden fish (with Jiaoyin: "Eighteen Beats of the Hujia" and "Jiangnan Hao").

The sound of the zhi sound enters the heart

The melody of the zhi tone is warm, bright, relaxed and lively, with the passion and unrestrainedness of "fire". It mainly enters the "heart" and can be used to treat the symptoms of insufficient heart qi and distracted mind caused by excessive heartbreak. Music dominated by the zhi tone is the crisp and pleasant music played by string instruments such as the guzheng (with zhi tone: "Zizhu Diao" and "Bubugao").

Uterine sound enters spleen

Gongyin, which is melodious, calm, dignified and generous like "earth", enters the "spleen", can strengthen the spleen and stomach, aid digestion, and treat spleen and stomach weakness and loss of appetite caused by excessive thinking. Music based on Gongyin mainly includes the deep and low music played by instruments such as Xun and Sheng (with Gongyin: "Good Night" and "A Beautiful Full Moon").

Shangyin enters the lungs

Shangyin, which is high-pitched, tragic, sonorous and powerful, is as solemn and bleak as "gold". It corresponds to the "lung" organ and can treat lung deficiency caused by excessive sadness and diseases caused by lung failure. Music dominated by Shangyin is mainly played by instruments made of metal and stone materials such as chimes and chimes, which are vigorous and majestic (with Shangyin: "General's Order" and "Yangguan Sandie").

Feather sound enters the kidney

The style of Yuyin is quiet, soft, sad and mournful, flowing like water. It corresponds to the "kidney" among the five internal organs, and can lead yang into yin to treat the symptoms caused by kidney deficiency and kidney failure caused by extreme fear. The music dominated by Yuyin is mainly sad and gentle, desolate and soft (with Yuyin: "Zhaojun Yuan" and "Spring River Moon Night").

There are some rules for using "prescriptions"

Generally speaking, there is no special time requirement for the use of "electronic Chinese medicine". However, according to the theory of time medicine in traditional Chinese medicine, the twelve hours of the day correspond to different internal organs, and listening to the corresponding music at the time dominated by the corresponding internal organs is more effective. For example, the Chen hour is from 7 to 9 o'clock, when the stomach meridian is in season, it is suitable to listen to some Gong-mode music that can stimulate the spleen and stomach function; the Wu hour is from 11 to 13 o'clock, when the heart meridian is in season, you can listen to some relaxing and lively Zheng-mode music; the You hour is from 17 to 19 o'clock, when the kidney meridian is in season, it is suitable to listen to some quiet and soft Yu-mode music.

"It should be noted that the five-tone therapy is mainly used to prevent and assist in the treatment of emotion-related diseases, and it is necessary to choose the appropriate music mode based on syndrome differentiation. However, if the condition is serious, it is recommended to seek professional treatment in a regular hospital." Hou Junlin said.

On average, each urban resident spends more than 1,000 yuan per year on health and wellness, and young consumers aged 18 to 35 account for as high as 83.7%.
