After "Dancing for a Thousand Years", Henan Satellite TV has expanded its moves again, and warmly launched the character drama "Medical Saint" with the theme of traditional Chinese medicine under the epidemic situation, which is full of praise.

Today, the author is not bringing everyone to review this drama. The Chinese culture is broad and profound, but there are more than Chinese herbal medicines that can cure diseases. Now, let's take a look at music therapy with a long history.

"Records of the Grand Historian" said: "That's why musicians are turbulent in their blood, so that they can flow their spirits and be in harmony with their hearts." Ruan Ji of the Jin Dynasty mentioned in "Music Theory": "There is no happiness in the world, but if you want to harmonize yin and yang, and disasters will not arise, it is already It’s hard. The music makes people’s spirits gentle, and the bad breath doesn’t get in.” and so on.

Music can maintain health and even cure diseases. In fact, it has been recognized by many Chinese and foreign scholars since ancient times, especially Chinese classical music. The tune is gentle, the timbre is gentle, and the melody is beautiful and pleasant. It can make people forget their troubles, thus broaden their minds and promote physical and mental health. 

According to legend, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the writer Ouyang Xiu suffered from depression. Later, he learned piano music from friends, and as time went on, his depression naturally improved.

Of course, the authenticity of ancient legends that have not been verified is subject to consideration.

So how do you prove that guqin music can have a healing effect?

The 2008 Sichuan earthquake killed 90,000 people and injured 370,000. After the earthquake, thousands of psychologists went to the disaster area to provide psychological help. Xie Dongxiao, vice president of Guangdong Guqin Research Association and teacher from Xinghai Conservatory of Music, improvised several Guqin works for the "2009 Wenchuan Music Therapy Project", bringing comfort to the people in the disaster area.

During the organization and preparation of this year's Winter Olympics, the Olympic Organizing Committee has carefully arranged a Chinese medicine experience hall for the athletes for everyone to relax. In the experience hall, the "Heaven and Human Unity" immersive experience area is a space full of music healing. The "Traditional Chinese Medicine Emotional Music Therapy" developed by the R&D team is guided by the theory of Chinese medicine psychology, draws on the "way of neutralization" in "Pentaphonic Therapy", integrates the theory of modern personality psychology and psychotherapy, and uses big data technology. , to achieve intelligent matching and personalized intervention between the experiencer and the music.

"Quanjing Sound Discrimination" once mentioned: "Music is good for treatment"; "Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine" also records the saying that "five sounds cure diseases"; "Historical Records" records in more detail: "The palace moves the spleen, Business moves the lungs, horns move the liver, Zheng moves the heart, and feathers move the kidneys”, which means that strong music stimulates the spirit and has different effects on various parts of the body.

"Pentaphonic therapy", through the five tones of horn, sign, palace, shang, and feathers corresponding to the five internal organs and five spirits, can achieve the effect of regulating the physical and mental state of the human body.

In the experience hall, the soundtrack of Chinese Medicine Daoyin Wuqinxi is composed of five main instruments, namely "Guzheng, Bamboo Flute, Guqin, Erhu and Xiao", which correspond to the "heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney" of the five internal organs of the human body and "the five elements of traditional Chinese medicine". Fire, Wood, Earth, Metal, Water", using the melody of "rising, unfolding, opening, closing, and falling", plays a role in regulating the body and mind of practitioners.

It is not difficult to see that whether it is Guqin music or other classical Chinese instrumental music, it can play a healing role in regulating and relaxing the body and mind.

In addition to the healing of body and mind sounds, in fact, classical music has also been used in medical treatment many times.

Professor Wu Shen is the founder of five-tone physiotherapy. At the end of the 20th century, Wu Shen published "The Joy of Life" and became a legendary figure in deciphering the culture of music first and medicine later. It not only realizes a unique course of combining life frequency vibration field energy and health science with music therapy, but also cures a large number of critically ill patients with music therapy.

Guqin and classical instrumental music can both bring us physical and mental pleasure and recuperation, and play a therapeutic role to a certain extent. In fact, about classical music therapy, we have begun to see the clues from the word "music".

The upper and left sides of the word "le" are synthesized with the word "silk", which corresponds to the "heart" of the human body. It belongs to the sound of "sign" and is the "fire" in the five elements. Silk string music can tug people's heartstrings, and the "heart" meridian of the human body can repair the function of the heart, relax the spirit, and naturally rejoice when people recover from illness, that is, joy.

Guqin is a musical instrument derived from the integration of "horn, sign, palace, business and feather". Just listening to its profound musical sound can make people feel irritable and calm... Many people are used to Guqin and like Chinese traditions. Musical instrument, but has not chosen to start because of being busy and afraid of not being able to stick to it.

But what you don't know is that it is an excellent choice whether it is economic cost or time cost, because it can make you have a healthy body and mind, reap the joy of life, and let your heart settle... a higher value expression.
