TCM Knowledge | What Practical Tools Are in the Six Arts of TCM?
The Six Major Technical Systems of Traditional Chinese Medicine are recorded in the Suwen: On the Appropriateness of Different Methods, which include Acupuncture, Moxibustion, Bloodletting, Herbal Medicine, Tuina, and Daoyin. Among these, Acupuncture, Moxibustion, Bloodletting, Herbal Medicine, and Tuina are external methods that work from the outside in; Daoyin is an internal method that works from the inside out. Daoyin harmonizes with other methods, mobilizing the body’s vital energy to achieve maximum results with minimal effort. Historically, Daoyin has been widely used at various stages of life for preserving life, health maintenance, disease prevention, and rehabilitation, and has been emphasized by renowned physicians such as Hua Tuo, Ge Hong, Sun Simiao, and Chao Yuanfang.
Daoyin as an Intangible Cultural Heritage
“Ancient Yi Jin Jing Twelve Movements” is a classic of TCM Daoyin. Based on the philosophy of the I Ching and guided by the theories of TCM meridians and Qi and blood, it achieves the effects of strengthening muscles and bones, consolidating vital energy, nourishing the organs, and cultivating the mind through stretching and relaxing the muscles and bones, expelling the old and taking in the new, and maintaining harmony.
Each movement targets a specific meridian, nourishing the corresponding meridians and organs. Additionally, the practice is not limited by time or space, and its effects are significant, allowing for the timely elimination of physical and mental fatigue, making it very suitable for modern individuals. Young people practicing Yi Jin Daoyin can strengthen their muscles and bones and promote physical development. Adults practicing Yi Jin Daoyin can help relieve physical and mental fatigue, prevent disease occurrence, and avoid chronic fatigue syndrome.
Preparation and Warm-Up Before Daoyin
Before practicing the Twelve Movements of Yi Jin Jing, first empty the bowels and bladder, wear loose and breathable clothing, and tie a belt around the waist. There is a meridian at the waist called the Dai Mai, which runs horizontally around the waist, regulating the body’s meridians and Yin-Yang, allowing clear Qi to rise and turbid Qi to descend. When the clear and turbid are separated, the complexion improves, and energy becomes abundant. It is important to note that the belt should not be an elastic band, as it will change with the contraction and expansion of the abdomen, while a regular belt constrains the expansion, effectively preventing abdominal stagnation and also providing protection to the lumbar muscles and vertebrae.Each movement of the Twelve Movements of Yi Jin Jing begins with the requirement of clenching the teeth, tongue against the palate, eyes looking straight ahead, and regulating the nasal breath.
“Clenching the teeth” is the beginning of practicing the muscles and bones. TCM believes that the kidneys govern the bones, and the teeth are the extensions of the bones. “Clenching the teeth and tapping the teeth” can strengthen the teeth and bones. Clenching the teeth, also known as “tapping the teeth” or “pecking the teeth,” is mentioned in the sixteen principles of health preservation: “Teeth should be tapped regularly.” This can be done whether sitting, lying, standing, or walking. I remember a student once asked if it was necessary to clench the teeth when they had a full set of dentures. The answer is yes; clenching the dentures can stimulate the gums to prevent atrophy. “Tongue against the palate,” according to TCM, the tongue is the sprout of the heart. When the tip of the tongue touches the palate, it generates saliva. The sixteen principles of health preservation state: “The tongue should be held against the palate regularly.” This forms a circulation between the Ren Mai and Du Mai, known in Daoism as the Small Heavenly Circuit.
“Eyes looking straight ahead” means that the Twelve Movements of Yi Jin Jing require the eyes to be open during practice. TCM believes that the eyes are the residence of the spirit. Opening the eyes has the effect of training the spirit. If the practitioner feels weak and unconsciously closes their eyes during practice, they should take a short break and resume practice after regaining their spirit.“Regulating the nasal breath,” beginners can inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth, and once the breathing is regulated, switch to inhaling and exhaling through the nose. The sixteen principles of health preservation state: “Nasal breathing should be regulated.” Beginners should consciously practice regulating their breath until it becomes a habit. Note: Older practitioners, especially men, should trim their nasal hair if it is long, as one of the functions of hair is to help with contraction, and excessively long nasal hair can affect airflow. The above are the preparatory tasks for practicing the Ancient Yi Jin Jing Twelve Movements.If you wish to study further, please refer to the Da Mo Yi Jin Jing published by Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House and the Ancient Twelve Movements of Daoyin (Scientific Popularization Edition) published by the People’s Military Medical Publishing House.
