西部以“性”养生 的千年追问

Inquiries into Why Sex Helps Preserve Health

西部文化一直躁动着性崇拜的精神.表面看来,汉代以来的中国文化讳言性与生殖,耻言带下之事.而实际上,西部文化的精华,儒释道乃至宗法、伦理、社会习俗等,均曲折地反映出崇尚性的潜在萌动,受着性崇拜的深刻影响.

Western culture has always been fraught with the elements of sex worship. The Classics of Taoism written by Lao Zi, a great philosopher and founder of Taoism sets a high value on the female genitalia. The idea of preserving health based on a healthy sexual life reached its acme in the Tang Dynasty and even penetrated many aspects of Buddhism at that time. After the Song and Yuan dynasties, as the Confucian school of ideological philosophy thrived, sex culture was gradually going down to still and turning to be covert. Only in the on-going western development, can we be able to understand the deep connotation of sex culture in a scientific and healthy way.
