In ancient times, a day was divided into twelve hours, namely: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai. Each hour is equivalent to two hours in modern times, which is why there was a 12 hour health preservation method in ancient times.
The twelve hours are closely related to our five organs, six viscera, and meridians。 During these twelve hours, each hour has a meridian and one organ on duty。 Therefore, we need to maintain the relative organs for each different hour。
一\子时:夜里11点到次日凌晨1点,胆经当令,“当令” 就是当班的意思.
At the hour of Zi, it is best to sleep to protect the yang energy。
This time period should be the darkest time of the day, when yang energy begins to emerge。里有一句话叫做“凡十一藏皆取于胆”.这也就是中医里说的“子时,胆经当令”.The meaning is that the other eleven organs depend on the gallbladder and the generation of gallbladder qi。 If gallbladder qi can be generated, the human body will be in good condition。 Zishi is the time when the meridians in traditional Chinese medicine travel to the liver and gallbladder。 If you miss this time of sleep due to staying up late, your liver and gallbladder will not get enough rest, so people who often stay up late will have health problems such as rough skin, dark spots, and yellow complexion。
What were you doing after dinner at eight or nine o’clock? Many people will find that at 8 or 9 o’clock, if there is nothing to do, they will feel drowsy, but by 11 o’clock, they will be awake。 So, now there are also many people who are used to working after 11 o’clock。 This phenomenon is actually a reflection of the generation of yang energy during the Zi Dynasty。 However, because it is just beginning to generate yang energy and it is still very weak, we need to protect it。怎么保护呢?睡个“子午觉”.这里所说的“子午”,就是十二时辰里所说的子时和午时.说:“阳气尽则卧,阴气尽则寐”.所以,子时阳气最弱,宜大睡,而午时阴气衰弱,最宜小憩.
Midday and noon are two extremes。 One has the weakest yang energy, while the other has the strongest yang energy。After the birth, the yang energy rises, and in the afternoon, the yang energy drops。 From noon onwards, the yang energy drops, and it reaches its lowest point when it reaches the cathode。People with Qi deficiency are prone to overdrawn Yang energy at this time; People with poor kidney disease are prone to accidents at this time; People with poor heart health are prone to sudden death at this time; People with low blood sugar are prone to developing symptoms at this time。So, for those who have the above phenomenon, it is best to take medication in advance to ensure a safe time every day。
Second hour: From 1am to 3am, the liver meridian is in command。
When it’s ugly, nourishing the liver is the right time。
The liver is responsible for generating hair, and after passing through Zi Shi, the Yang energy of Chou Shi begins to emerge。 The liver needs to detoxify and produce blood at this time, so don’t indulge in alcohol or unfinished work in the middle of the night。 Our bodies are like machines that require regular rest and maintenance。 So, when it comes to nourishing the liver, everyone should go to bed on time and let the liver work normally。 If you don’t follow this natural law and don’t give your body a chance to breathe, you are certainly prone to getting sick。
According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, the main physiological functions of the liver are to store blood and regulate bowel movements。 The meaning of ‘main blood storage’ mainly includes two aspects: one is to regulate blood volume。 Another is to nourish the liver itself。The main function is to promote the release of liver qi. The liver’s drainage function plays a regulatory role in balancing the rise and fall of qi. If the liver’s drainage function is normal, it means that the balance of qi and blood, the circulation of meridians, and the function of internal organs are normal. If the liver’s drainage function is abnormal, your body will experience two pathological phenomena: one is a decrease in the liver’s drainage function. If liver qi stagnation is not smooth, there may be swelling, pain, and discomfort in certain areas such as the chest, ribs, breasts, or lower abdomen. If there is disharmony between the liver, stomach (spleen), it may explain why you often experience loss of appetite. In addition, for female friends, the occurrence of dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea and other phenomena may also be caused by poor liver qi circulation. The second pathological phenomenon is excessive rise in hair and insufficient decrease in qi, which can lead to liver qi inversion, resulting in symptoms such as swelling and pain in the head, redness in the face and eyes, irritability and irritability.
Modern people face great pressure in both work, study, and daily life, and staying up late is a common occurrence。 So, during the time of Zishi, if the courage and blood of the liver are not well nurtured, it will cause great harm to the body if this happens frequently。Especially when we are young, the dissipation of liver qi can have a significant impact on our health in old age, which is why traditional Chinese medicine does not advocate excessive energy dissipation in youth。
In addition, traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver opens its orifices to the eyes, and the eyes are an external reflection of the liver。 So, in the process of using our eyes, what we actually consume is liver qi。 Therefore, regularly closing one’s eyes to nourish the mind can timely nourish the liver。
San Yin Shi: From 3am to 5am, the lung meridian is in order。
When you wake up, it’s best to see a doctor as soon as possible。
Normally, 3 to 5 o’clock should be our time for deep sleep。 At this time, people usually sleep the most soundly。 People who often stay up late can find that they usually endure one or two o’clock, and the most difficult time is around three or four o’clock。 Why is three or four o’clock the most unbearable time? Because this is the stage where the Qi of Purification and Surrender is running, if we continue to endure, it will cause the greatest harm to the human body。 It is very dangerous to wake up between 3 and 5 o’clock。If you suddenly wake up or sweat profusely during this period, it is a sign of poor health and it is best to see a doctor as soon as possible。
Why is that? From 3 to 5 o’clock, the distribution of qi and blood in the human body begins to be redistributed。 The distribution of qi and blood is determined by the lung meridian, which determines how much the heart and kidneys need。 This redistribution process must be completed during deep sleep。 If you wake up at this time, it means that your Qi and blood are insufficient.寅时,我们身体各部位都开始由静转动,各部分对血\气的需求量都开始增加.这个时候,气血流注于肺经,而且它主肃降.一旦“宣发”\“肃降”失职,就会造成严重的后果.身体各部对气血需求量的增加,相应地就会加重心脏的负担,这就是许多心脏病患者死于凌晨三四点的原因.
Elderly people with poor heart function are not encouraged to exercise early。 People with heart disease must wake up later and slowly, and morning exercise is also not recommended。At night, it’s a gloomy atmosphere, you can liven up a bit。 And in the morning, when yang energy is generated, you should follow it to generate your hair。
