Entering the dog days of summer, the health preservation method of "sun drying the back" has become popular again. On park lawns, community open spaces, and seaside beaches, many young people either lie down or sit, bathing in the sunshine in various postures. On various social media platforms, many netizens have shared their experiences and insights on sun drying, such as "feeling refreshed after sun drying" and "sun drying can dispel dampness and nourish yang". They believe that this is a "free 'heavenly moxibustion'" and "free nature tonic", which has attracted more netizens to follow suit. In fact, it's not just about sunbathing. In recent years, many young people have already plunged into the wave of "new Chinese style health preservation": waking up early to comb their hair with meridians, and then adding an eight section brocade; Brew a pot of health tea in the morning, and use a mugwort hammer to beat the Eight Voids during work or study breaks; Chinese nourishing snacks such as black sesame and Bazhen cake are preferred for adding meals; In my spare time, I met with my friends in the "acupuncture and moxibustion Massage Health Preservation Bureau". Half an hour before going to bed, herbal skin care plus hot water soaking feet... No wonder some people teased me. From questioning health preservation to understanding health preservation to loving health preservation, young people "awakened the blood of health preservation". The so-called "New Chinese Health Preservation" refers to a health preservation method that combines traditional Chinese health preservation with modern lifestyle habits, and has quickly gained the love of contemporary young people. Nowadays, many young people praise others by saying, "You look beautiful with abundant qi and blood. The typical traditional Chinese medicine term 'qi and blood' has become the new standard for young people to define 'beauty'. Why is' New Chinese Health Preservation 'so popular among young people? A netizen's words, 'When I was young, I was afraid of looking at my transcript, and when I grew up, I was afraid of looking at my medical examination form,' express the feelings of many young people. Staying up late, sitting for long periods of time, lack of exercise, irregular diet... In the fast-paced modern life, sub-health problems among young people are becoming increasingly common. More and more people are starting to examine their own lives and make adjustments. How to prevent and regulate the body has become the key, and traditional Chinese medicine, which has always been known for "preventing diseases before they occur", precisely meets this demand. Therefore, it is more accurate to say that young people have awakened their health awareness rather than their "health preserving bloodline awakening". The gradual winning of young people's hearts towards "new Chinese style health preservation" also relies on the keeping up with the times of traditional Chinese medicine itself. The new Chinese style health preservation not only retains the professionalism of traditional Chinese medicine, but also strives to meet the needs of modern young people who pursue convenience, simple operation, and efficacy. For example, the recently popular "Traditional Chinese Medicine Colorful Ear Patch" has added decorations like rhinestone earrings on the basis of traditional Chinese medicine ear point seed implantation treatment, which not only enhances the beauty of the ear patch, but also helps to increase the stimulation intensity and effect of ear point pressing. It has received a lot of praise since its launch; For example, instead of sticking to "good medicine tastes bitter", some time-honored brands of traditional Chinese medicine have introduced new health tea drinks and traditional Chinese medicine cakes, and some Chinese medicine hospitals have actively recommended Tonic Diet recipes, which has attracted many people to clock in... When Chinese medicine health care caters to young people's lives in a more diversified way, it is also reasonable to be favored by young people. Behind the popularity of "New Chinese Health Preservation" is the profound and extensive culture of traditional Chinese medicine. In fact, the core principle of traditional Chinese medicine health preservation is "following the four seasons for health preservation". According to the different seasons, methods such as spring birth, summer growth, autumn birth, winter storage, as well as spring and summer yang nourishment and autumn and winter yin nourishment are adopted to nourish the natural body in the way of nature. Following this philosophy often leads to twice the result with half the effort in health management: when one's own abilities are insufficient, one should learn to borrow external forces from nature and follow the natural trend to cultivate a good physique. Sunbathing on the back during the dog days is like this. Taking advantage of the abundant Yang energy in nature, sunbathing until the body slightly sweats can replenish Yang energy and help eliminate chronic illnesses. However, back drying is not suitable for everyone. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the principle of "three factors for adaptation", which means that people should adapt to local conditions according to the time and situation. Whether it is back drying or other health preservation methods, they should be chosen according to their own constitution, and blind obedience should be avoided. Of course, "New Chinese style health preservation" is not limited to forms such as soaking feet, eight section brocade, or sun drying the back. Slowing down the pace of life and choosing a relaxed and natural lifestyle can all be called "New Chinese Health Preservation". Recently, the "20 minute park theory" has quietly become popular among young people. After a day of high-intensity work, they spend 20 minutes walking around the park, watching flowers, insects, and fish, and feeling the rhythm of the gentle breeze blowing by their ears. Who wouldn't be cured by such natural forces? From this perspective, traditional Chinese medicine health preservation is actually about loving ourselves better - not indulging in short-term happiness, carefully observing our own health needs, pursuing a comprehensive healthy lifestyle, and making us a better version of ourselves.
