The following is a sample essay that I share with you on the guiding significance of the Huangdi Neijing to the mental health education of college students.
Abstract: This paper explores the guiding significance of the "Treatment before Disease" thinking and educational methods in the "Huangdi Neijing" on the mental health education of college students.
Keywords: "Huangdi Neijing"; college students; mental health education
Psychological problems and mental illnesses are something that no individual is willing to bear, and that any society is committed to Reduced, but psychological problems and mental illness are unavoidable. College students are in adolescence, faced with the choice of study and love, and are in the transition from school people to social people. In addition, the employment situation has become more and more severe in recent years, so a series of changes will occur both physically and psychologically; now Most college students are already born in the 1990s. Studies have shown that because college students have to face various physical and psychological difficulties, they are prone to depression, anxiety, anger and other negative emotions, coupled with pressure from family and society. Therefore, the mental health status of college students is worrying [1], and they are prone to psychological problems such as depression and anxiety, as well as feelings of alienation [2]. Therefore, it is necessary to provide mental health education to college students so that they can adjust their mentality, have reasonable cognition, adapt to their roles, and live a healthy life.
At this stage, the mental health education for college students is basically conducted under the guidance of modern Western psychological thinking, and has achieved certain results. Some people have proposed that China’s excellent traditional culture should play a role in the mental health education of college students [3]. The author also believes that ideas that are beneficial to the mental health education of college students can be discovered from traditional culture, especially the culture of traditional Chinese medicine, so as to be more in line with China’s national conditions and more relevant. Psychological characteristics of the Chinese people.
The "Huangdi Neijing" is the earliest existing traditional Chinese medicine classic in my country. It lays the foundation of the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine and is the source of all disciplines of traditional Chinese medicine. The theories and methods proposed in the Huangdi Neijing have certain guiding significance for carrying out mental health education for college students.
1. The guiding significance of the idea of ??"preventing disease" in "Huangdi Neijing" to college students' mental health education
"Huangdi Neijing" is the earliest traditional Chinese medicine classic that proposed the idea of ??"treating disease before it occurs" . It is mentioned in "Su Wen's Great Treatise on the Four Qi to Regulate the Spirit": "Therefore, the sage does not cure the disease before he is ill; he does not cure the disorder but treats it before it is disorder... He will treat the disease after it has become a disease; he will treat it after the disorder has become established. This is the same as Isn't it too late to dig a well when you are thirsty, or to cast a cone when you are fighting?" It points out that when the disease is "already established", no matter how good the medical treatment is, it is just to make up for the situation, just like digging a well or fighting a war when a person is already very thirsty. If you don't make weapons until you've already started, I'm afraid damage is inevitable.
So, it is better to take precautions in advance. This is consistent with the basic spirit of “prevention first” advocated by modern times. "Treat before disease occurs" is a basic medical principle put forward by traditional Chinese medicine that must be strictly followed. Its spiritual essence includes two aspects: first, "prevent disease before it occurs", which means taking various measures to actively prevent disease before it becomes ill, thereby preventing The second is to "prevent the disease from developing", which means to use various effective means to prevent the development and spread of the disease after getting sick, nip the disease in the bud, and prevent minor illnesses from turning into serious diseases.
The concept of prevention before getting sick belongs to the category of traditional Chinese medicine health preservation. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that pathogenic factors act on the human body. If it can cause disease in the human body, it may be because the body's resistance is too weak, or it may be because the pathogenic factors are too strong. In order to prevent the occurrence of diseases, on the one hand, we must strengthen people's physique to improve disease resistance, that is, "the righteousness remains within, and evil cannot be affected" ("Su Wen Acupuncture Theory"); on the other hand, we must actively avoid or reduce the causes of disease. The harm caused by disease factors is that "deficiency and evil invade wind, and there is a time to avoid them" ("Su Wen Ancient Innocence Theory").
Specific to the mental health of college students, on the one hand, the physical and psychological qualities of college students should be improved, and on the other hand, negative emotional stimulation should be reduced or even avoided. The main content of the "Huangdi Neijing" in this aspect is:
(1) "Harmony with the four seasons, adjusted with yin and yang" The "Huangdi Neijing" believes that human beings live in nature and are not an independent organism. We are always affected by the natural environment, so people must comply with changes in natural laws and adjust their lives according to seasonal changes to maintain the balance of yin and yang inside and outside the human body, so that the five internal organs that correspond to the seasons can adapt to the growth, growth, transformation, and absorption of nature. The changes in the body and mind make the seven emotions and five wills smooth and harmonious, so as to achieve the purpose of health.
As stated in "Su Wen's Great Treatise on the Four Qi Adjusting the Spirit": "In the third month of spring,... you lie down at night and get up early,... to make your ambitions arise; in the third month of summer,... you lie down at night and get up early, without any If you are tired of the sun, your will will not be angry; in the third month of autumn, you will go to bed early and get up early, so that your will will be peaceful; in the third month of winter, you will go to bed early and get up late, so that you must wait for the sun, so that your will will be hidden..." It points out the living style that people should adopt in different seasons and its impact on human emotions.
(2) Nourish the spirit and adjust the emotions. "Huangdi Neijing" believes that human physiology and psychology are integrated and influence each other.
The five internal organs are the basis for human spiritual activities, and mental activities in turn affect the physiological activities of the five internal organs. As stated in the "Lingshu Benzang" chapter: "If the will and intention are harmonious, the spirit will be straight, the soul will not be scattered, regrets and anger will not be allowed, and the five internal organs will not be evil." The "Su Wen Yin and Yang Ying Xiang Da Lun" also points out: "Anger hurts the liver", "Happiness hurts the heart", "Thoughts hurt the spleen", "Sadness hurts the lungs", "Fear hurts the kidneys", it is believed that mental disorder can make the human body sick. Therefore, people should recuperate their spirits, regulate their emotions, and adapt to changes in the environment to ensure good health. The discussion in the "Huangdi Neijing" points out the importance of mental health education and also elaborates on the specific educational content, which has an important guiding role in our mental health education for college students.
2. The guiding significance of the discussion of educational methods in the "Huangdi Neijing" to the mental health education of college students
First of all, the "Huangdi Neijing" was written in the Qin and Han Dynasties, but it was named after the Yellow Emperor. The style of the book mostly adopts the form of questions and answers between Huangdi and Qibo, Lei Gong, Guiyu District and others. This not only increases the authority of the book, but also makes the form lively and easy for people to accept. Moreover, the book also uses a variety of forms to record , such as "Writing on Bamboo and Silk" and "Writing on Jade Edition", using various carriers when paper had not been invented at that time; or "getting it from the person and passing it on", selecting appropriate objects to teach by words and deeds, all of which strengthened medical knowledge spread.
Regarding the mental health education of college students, the publicity of mental health knowledge should also be strengthened. The school’s full-time and part-time psychological counseling teachers or professional psychological workers from the society can be invited to teach college students how to promote mental health. Methods, using various methods at the same time, such as the traditional compilation of mental health knowledge pamphlets, clear sheets, or psychological sitcoms compiled and performed by teachers and students themselves, as well as modern WeChat, flipped classroom, etc., to popularize psychology to college students in a format that they like. Health knowledge, let them realize the importance of mental health knowledge and learn to use psychological methods to improve their own mental health. Students who are interested in psychology and have strong receptive abilities can also be selected for professional training among college students, and they can carry out mental health education for other college students after receiving professional training.
Due to the special nature of their identities, they have stronger affinity among their classmates, and their experiences are closer to their classmates, which makes them easier to be accepted. They can get twice the result with half the effort, and their own mental health conditions are also improved. You will also get great improvements in the process of helping others. Secondly, the "Huangdi Neijing" also points out that the content of education should be concise and easy to understand. As stated in the chapter "Lingshu Nine Needles and Twelve Origins": "The order can be passed on to future generations, and the method of doing it must be clearly understood. The order will not be extinguished in the end, will last for a long time, is easy to use and unforgettable, and will be used as a broker." Pointed out that medicine The truth should be clear, unforgettable, and easy to grasp, so that it can be widely disseminated and lasted for a long time. College students have a certain level of education and can receive information more easily.
However, college students are not willing to accept boring preaching, especially now in the Internet age. All kinds of information are pouring in. The vivid and interesting content and flexible forms are dizzying, which also allows college students to improve their "taste". Therefore, when providing mental health education to college students, it should not be too written. Professional psychological workers should transform mental health knowledge into a language that is easy for college students to accept and master and convey it to them. Third, the "Huangdi Neijing" also clearly explains the implementation principles of education.
As stated in "The Biography of Master Lingshu": "Human emotions are all about hating death and rejoicing in life, telling them to lose, telling them to be good, and guiding them to do what is convenient for them. It’s because of the suffering. Although there are unscrupulous people, are there those who won’t listen to evil?” It pointed out that in the process of implementing mental health education, we should have a deep understanding of human nature and meet people’s psychological needs. For example, college students with psychological problems hope to get out of the shadows and live a happy life. This is their inner requirement and driving force for receiving mental health education. Therefore, mental health education came into being and works in compliance with people's psychology.
Point out that the harm of a bad emotional state is "telling them to fail", explaining the benefits of maintaining a good attitude is "telling them good", and providing certain auxiliary measures such as relaxation techniques is "guiding them" It goes without saying that mental health education can achieve good results if these can be achieved and help eliminate depression and anxiety. In addition to this, supplemented by physical exercise, employment and entrepreneurship skills training, and social support promotion, it can help college students restore their mental health as soon as possible and find the sunshine of life. To sum up, although the "Huangdi Neijing" is not a special book on mental health education, the ideas and educational methods of "treating the disease before it occurs" have certain guiding significance for the development of mental health education for college students and are worthy of study and promotion.

Expansion: The value influence of "Huangdi Neijing"
"Hanshu·Yiwenzhi·Fangjilue" contains four traditional Chinese medicine classics: Medical Classics, Jingfang, Shenxian and Fangzhong. Except for the Huangdi Neijing, all other medical classics have been lost. Therefore, the "Huangdi Neijing" has become the earliest existing classic of traditional Chinese medicine.
As a classic of traditional Chinese culture, "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" is not only a classic masterpiece of traditional Chinese medicine, but also a profound and profound cultural masterpiece.

1. Traditional Chinese Medicine Yuansou
The "Huangdi Neijing" comprehensively summarizes the medical achievements before the Qin and Han Dynasties. Its completion marks a new stage of Chinese medicine rising from empirical medicine to theoretical medicine. .

Most of the innovations and achievements of famous doctors in the past dynasties in theory and practice are closely related to the "Huangdi Neijing".
The "Huangdi Neijing" has a high status in Chinese medicine. Successful doctors in later generations all attach great importance to this book.
"The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" is the first health-preserving manual. "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" talks about how to cure diseases, but more importantly, it talks about how to avoid diseases and how to stay healthy and live a long life without taking medicine. "Huangdi Neijing" has a very important idea: "Treat the disease before it's too late". The "Huangdi Neijing" says: "If you don't treat the disease, you can cure the disease; if you don't treat it, you can treat the disorder but it is not disordered."

The core of Chinese studies is actually the philosophy of life, and the "Huangdi Neijing" is a Chinese classic with great influence named after the Yellow Emperor.
3. Philosophical science
The "Huangdi Neijing" also contains a lot of philosophical science, such as inspiration for talent management. The "Huangdi Neijing" advocates that medical ethics and medical ethics can fully demonstrate humane character.
Morality, as an important category of ancient Chinese view of nature, its extension has finally been transformed into the objective laws that form the movement of all things in the world and natural phenomena, and talents externalize their inner "virtue" into talents and learning. "Carrying things" is also a kind of internal and external unity that conforms to the harmony of nature. The publication of the Huangdi Neijing gave the earliest written expression and explanation of the medical ethics of traditional Chinese medicine. The "Nei Jing" summarized and summarized the understanding of medical ethics by doctors at that time, formed a relatively complete medical ethics thought, and announced the birth of the theory of TCM medical ethics.
The medical ethics thoughts in the "Nei Jing" have rich connotations and wide extensions, and can be divided into four aspects: medical health ethics, medical prevention ethics, medical treatment ethics and medical nursing ethics. Human body, mind and behavior together constitute life, and only the integration of the three can enable people to develop harmoniously. "Morality" governs the heart. If the body and mind are not in harmony, there is no way to "strengthen the body and eliminate the evil." The selection and appointment of talents should also follow the principle of having both ability and political integrity, putting morality first, advancing with the times, and developing harmoniously. This is also the selection of talents in modern society. Criteria for appointment.
4. Documentary value

These ancient documents are of great historical significance for understanding the development of traditional Chinese medicine in the pre-Qin period. ;
