Huangdi said: the rise and fall of Qi, and even its death, can be heard? Qibo said: life is ten years old, five Tibet, the blood gas has been through, its gas under, so easy to go (1). At the age of 20, blood begins to flourish and muscles grow square, so it's a good trend. Thirty years old, five Zang Dading, strong muscles, full of blood vessels, so easy to walk (1) forty years old, five Zang six Fu organs, twelve meridians, all of them are great to calm, the reason is sparse, the glory is decadent, the hair is quite white (2), even Sheng does not shake, so good to sit. At the age of fifty, the liver Qi began to decline, the liver leaves began to thin, the bile began to die (3), and the eyes began to be unknown. Sixty years old, the heart began to decline, bitter sorrow, blood lazy, it is good to lie. Seventy years old, with a weak temper and dry skin. At the age of eighty, the lung is weak and the soul is separated. So the saying is "good" (4). Ninety years old, kidney qi Jiao, four ZANG (5) channels empty. At the age of one hundred, the five treasures are empty, the spirits are gone, and the human body lives alone.
The Yellow Emperor said: what if the dead can't end their life? Qibo said: the five Zang's are not firm, the Tao is not long, the air is full of Zhang (6), the breath is violent, the base wall is low, the thin pulse is short of blood, the flesh is not stone (7), the wind is cold in the number, the blood is weak, the pulse is blocked, the true and evil attack each other, and the chaos leads to each other (8), so the middle life is exhausted.

(1) Walking, tending, and walking: in the title of "explanation of the name", Xu Xing said walking, speeding up day by day, speeding up day by day.
(2) The hair is quite white: "too plain" for "hair white sideburns.". That is, black and white hair, commonly known as gray.
(3) Mie: "Taisu" and "acupuncture and moxibustion A and B" are all "reduced", which is "yes". It's because of its proximity.
(4) Wait: same mistake.
(5) Four Zang: refers to liver, heart, spleen and lung.
(6) Open out: the nostrils are opened out.
(7) Its flesh is not stone: muscle flabby not firm. "Shi" in "Taisu" is "real", which is the right.
(8) Chaos and mutual guidance: the real Qi is decayed and the function is disordered. It is not only unable to drive out evil spirits, but also to recruit evil spirits.
[introduction]
In this section, taking 10-year-old as a stage, the author discusses the life rule of human growth, describes the external performance and characteristics of each stage corresponding to the changes of viscera essence, Qi and spirit, and explains the reasons for the middle life span. It is also pointed out that in the process of aging, the functions of the Zang Fu organs decline in turn according to the order of five elements, indicating that the decline of the functions of the Zang Fu organs is early or late, and its significance needs further study.
The changes of human body in different stages are based on the ups and downs of essence, Qi and spirit. Human life originates from the innate essence, which is the basis of life activities. The three are interdependent and influence each other. Later generations will summarize them as "three treasures" of human body. Although essence, Qi and spirit come from the nature, they must be nurtured by the postnatal nourishment, so that they can be continuously transformed, continuously enriched and maintain life activities. Therefore, regulating essence, Qi and spirit has become an important part of health care.
In Neijing, there are three sections about the law of life based on age; in Suwen, the theory of ancient innocence, seven women and eight men are regarded as degrees, and the theory is based on the rise and fall of kidney qi, focusing on the expression and mechanism of the rise and fall of human reproductive function; in this section, men and women recognize the complete life process of growing strong and old, regardless of the stage of 10 years old and the rise and fall of five zang organs; in Suwen, the theory of yin and Yang responding to the elephant starts from 40 years old In the 60's, the key to premature aging is to warn people not to know "seven evils and eight benefits", not to adjust Yin and Yang, and to keep hardness and softness. All three are based on innate essence, so they can invent each other.
