The qin, also known as the seven-stringed qin, is the first of the four arts of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. It is one of the oldest musical instruments of the Chinese nation. Guqin has a long history and profound cultural heritage. Its quiet and refined sound has long been integrated with the long-standing Chinese culture, especially with the unique Chinese philosophy, aesthetics, ethics and other humanistic thoughts.

The guqin is different from other musical instruments. It is an exclusive holy instrument used by literati to cultivate their temperament since ancient times. The literati used it to express their feelings and sustenance their ideals. , become a symbol of Chinese culture and ideal personality.

The traditional health preservation theory is also based on ancient Chinese philosophy. Its formation and development are closely related to thousands of years of glorious traditional culture, and more colorful health preservation methods have been passed down to this day. And "medicine is the first in the sea of art", the motherland medicine actually contains the characteristics of some skills. The theory of TCM health preservation starts from the overall concept of "correspondence between man and nature" and "unity of body and spirit", with special emphasis on the coordination between human beings and the natural environment and social environment, as well as the coordination and unity of psychology and physiology.

"Simple Questions: Shanggu Innocence" says: "In ancient times, those who knew, the law was yin and yang, and the number of techniques, eating and drinking, and daily life, and did not work rashly, so they were able to combine form with spirit, and To end his days, and to be a hundred years old, he will go." The "Dao" here is the way of health. Health care pays attention to harmony and moderation, follows the changing laws of nature and life process, pays attention to adjustment, "yin and yang are secret, and the spirit is in control", the body's yin and yang are balanced, and the balance of yin and yang can be maintained, and it can be healthy and longevity. In health preservation activities, spiritual health preservation is called "the first method of health preservation through the ages", and it is the core of all health preservation methods. "Su Wen·Ancient Innocent Theory" says: "Be calm and nothingness, follow the true qi, keep the spirit within, Illness is always safe", advocating tranquility, indifference, tranquility, peace and less desire.

The theory of qin theory and the concept of health preservation in traditional Chinese medicine can be said to be quite similar, and both originate from the highly inclusive ancient Chinese philosophy. For example, from the overall perspective of Taoism, nature, and the unity of man and nature, the appearance of the guqin contains various astronomical geography and social relations, and it is the epitome of the universe of heaven, earth, and the universe. and so on. Cai Yong's "Qin Cao" says: "The length of the qin is three feet, six inches and six centimeters, like three hundred and sixty days; the width is six inches, like the six-fold. Ping; the bottom is called Bin, Bin, Bin, and it is also called clothing. The front is wide and the back is narrow, like the honor and the inferior. The upper circle and the bottom are the law of heaven and earth. The Wuxian Palace is like the five elements. Harmony and encounter; small strings, ministers, honest and not chaotic. King Wen and Wu Wang add two strings, and the king and ministers are kind. The palace is the king, the business is the minister, the horns are the people, the levy is a matter, and the feather is a thing."

Nurturing the heart is the most important thing in nourishing the heart, and nourishing the heart is first and foremost in cultivating virtue. Ancient scholars have long put forward the theory of "benevolence and longevity". Confucius pointed out in "The Doctrine of the Mean" that "cultivating one's body is based on Tao, and practicing Tao is based on benevolence", and "great virtue will lead to longevity". ". "Zunsheng Bajian" also emphasizes: "A gentleman's heart is enlightened and deed, and then he can achieve both morality and health preservation."

Because people's health is closely related to moral conduct, "Sun Zhenzhen Health Song" said it well: "People in the world want to know the way of hygiene, they are happy and have less anger and less anger, they are sincere and thoughtful, and they are rational and self-cultivation to eliminate troubles." This is self-cultivation and self-cultivation. the truth. Sun Simiao also said: "Hundreds of actions are prepared every week, although there is no medicine and bait, it is enough to prolong life; if virtue is not sufficient, even taking jade liquid and golden elixir will not prolong life", pointing out the importance of cultivating virtue.

Prevention before getting sick, that is, disease prevention. As the saying goes, "three parts of a disease and seven parts of nourishment", recuperation means adjusting one's life and spirit, forming an internal and external environment conducive to the treatment of diseases, maintaining the best physical and mental state, so as to achieve the purpose of health preservation. Recuperating from disease is an important part of traditional health preservation, so I will not go into details here.

Pianist, love also. Qinneng nourishes one's illnesses firstly in the way that Qinneng can smooth people's emotions, express their emotions, relieve depression, make people feel peaceful, open-minded, optimistic and open-minded, which is very beneficial to the treatment of emotional diseases. In addition, the five tones in the qin correspond to the five internal organs of the human body. The "gong" is connected with the "spleen", which helps the spleen to be healthy; the "shang" is connected with the "lung", and the qi is stimulated; the "horn" is connected with the "liver", which relieves depression and suppresses anger; "Zheng" is connected with "heart" to regulate blood vessels; "feather" is connected with "kidney", soothes the mind and calms the mind.

Personally, I believe that music therapy is scientifically based. The melody of the guqin is soothing, the sound of the guqin is not unassuming, and the good guqin tone comes from the resonance of the wood used to make the guqin. Even in Jin Yong's novel "Swordsman", Ren Yingying taught him to play the Pure Heart Mantra to calm the muscles and state of mind when Linghu Chong's muscles were disordered. Therefore, music is the emotional condiment in people's life, and it is a brilliant art in the theory of Chinese medicine health preservation and psychology.
