As the saying goes: "Bare feet are not afraid to wear shoes." Some people think this is a saying that the poor are not afraid of the rich. In fact, the true meaning of this sentence is that people who love barefoot tend to have better bodies, which is what we often say should be "grounded."
1. "Be grounded" is the nature of the animal
Children don’t like to wear shoes, so they love to play on the muddy ground. Girls always carry their shoes and put their feet in the stream, which is beautiful; people go to the beach, You must take off your shoes and stroll on the beach, not to mention how comfortable it is. Conversely, if you put shoes on your pet, it will be willing to live and die. This is the nature of animals, this is groundedness.
2. From the "down-to-earth" view of children's life, we often see this situation. When raising children, many young parents are always afraid that their children will be infected with bacteria. They drink milk once and sterilize them once, and they can’t wait to change their clothes ten times a day. Three or four people take care of a child. They take care of a child very carefully, often not as good as ordinary rural children. .
There is a writer in Taiwan named Wu Danru. She once wrote an article about feeding her daughter. It is roughly like this. Her daughter, Xiong Xiong, is a premature baby. She stayed in an incubator for two months before she came out. She was in very bad physique. She often fell ill and was hospitalized. Both the doctor and the doctor are careful to protect the child.
Wu Danru felt that this was not enough, and despite the objections of the doctor and his family, he helped his daughter to discharge from the hospital, and then took her to get in touch with nature. The two-year-old bear "eaten sand, feeds sheep, brushes horses", in her words "raise children like pheasants", after a period of time, the cubs miraculously gradually become stronger.
Therefore, some elderly people often say that children should be more grounded before they can be brought. This is very reasonable. Just like when we were young, there were no early education institutions of various kinds, and there were not so many children's amusement facilities. We played wildly in the wild every day, but our physique was much better than today's children.
3. What kind of atmosphere is "earth Qi"?
"Book of Changes": "The topography is great, the gentleman carries things with virtue", this is about the "earthness" of our earth mothers with virtues. When we grab a handful of soil, it smells a unique smell of soil, mixed with the smell of vegetation. It is not as hot as fire or as soft as water. It gives people a sense of solidity, weight, and carrying everything. Although the sense of existence is not strong, it is the support of everything.
The spleen and stomach of human beings are the earth in the five elements. The spleen and stomach are the source of qi and blood biochemistry, and they carry and support all the functions of the body in a quiet manner. Therefore, the nature of the spleen and stomach is the same as the nature of soil. With more contact with the earth, the spleen and stomach can be nourished and supplemented with energy. Especially for children with "spleen deficiency", it is more important to be more grounded and honest.
Fourth, "Dog days", the most prosperous time of "earth" in a year
In the five elements thinking, our four seasons belong to different five elements, spring is wood, summer is fire, autumn is gold, and winter is water. . Wood produces fire, fire produces soil, earth produces gold, and gold produces water. Only in this way can the energy transformation of the four seasons be completed, and the world can flourish. Sanfu assumes the function of earth and completes the entire energy cycle.
Fifth, light up the mother’s life wisdom
Since "dog days" is the most prosperous time of the year, it is naturally the best time for our spleen and stomach. So, mothers, take advantage of this time to take the children out for a walk and take a walk after dinner. The rural people can walk barefoot in the fields, and the urban ones can go to the park for activities.
In terms of food, eat more food that is more "soil", and what kind of food is more "soil"? Of course it grows in the soil, such as potatoes and peanuts.
