“生长化收藏”浅说及其在睡眠、血压方面的应用

A brief analysis of birth-growth-transformation-collection-storage and its influences on sleep and blood pressure

“生长化收藏”是根据万事万物周期性改变规律而总结出的5个阶段,与近现代的生物节律概念有异曲同工之妙。生物节律又称“生物钟”,是包括人在内的所有生物的一种按照各自时间顺序周而复始变化的节律。人体睡眠-觉醒周期、血压、心率、体温、激素分泌、神经兴奋与抑制都存在明显的昼夜节律,如血压、睡眠常因夜间“收”“藏”功能异常而出现病理性改变。以“生长化收藏”视角能很好地解读《黄帝内经》中的部分章节,理解古人对人体生理、病理、养生及疾病防治的建设及认识。“人生于地,悬命于天”。通过对“生”“长”“化”“收”“藏”各个阶段进行学习、感悟,切身感受古人对天地的敬畏,更好地理解古人的思考方式,对慢性疾病如高血压病、睡眠障碍等产生更清晰的认识。

Birth-growth-transformation-collection-storage are five stages summarized according to the periodic change laws of all things,which are similar to the modern concept of biological rhythm.The biological rhythm,also known as the biological clock,is a rhythm that changes repeatedly according to the respective time order of all living things,including people.Studies have shown that the sleep-wake cycle,blood pressure,heart rate,body temperature,hormone secretion,nerve excitation and inhibition in human body all have obvious circadian rhythms.For example,blood pressure and sleep often show pathological changes due to the abnormal functions of collection and storage at night.From the perspective of birth-growth-transformation-collection-storage,some chapters in Huangdi Neijing(《黄帝内经》)can be well interpreted,and the ancient people’s construction and understanding on human physiology,pathology,health preservation and disease prevention and treatment can be understood.The human body cannot be separated from the external environment.Through the study and perception on the various stages of birth-growth-transformation-collection-storage,we can personally feel the ancient people’s awe of nature,better understand the ancient people’s ways of thinking,and have a clearer understanding of chronic diseases such as hypertension and sleep disorders.
