This book, 人體使用手冊 ([ren2 ti3 shi3 yong4 shou3 ce4], meaning "Human Body - User's Guide" in English, author: 吳清忠-Alex Wu), describes the human body system from a traditional Chinese medical view. The system fuctioning in a human body is, like a computer system, formed by hardware, software, and networking:
- hardware: 五臟六腑, [wu zang liu fu]
- software: 6 functional systems
- networking: 4 networking systems, including 經絡 ([jing luo], meridian), 血管 ([xuei guan], blood vessels), 神經 ([sheng jing], nervs), and 淋巴 ([lin ba], lymph)
The best way to stay healthy is suggested to
1. 敲膽經 ([qiao dan jing], hit the gall bladder channel)
2. 早睡早起 ([zao shei zao qi], go to bed early and get up early)
3. 按摩心包經 ([ann muo xin bao jing], massage the pericardium channel)
Item 1 and 3 may be easier for me. As for going to bed early... huh...may need more time working on this...
