道家養生文化是中國古代養生文化的主流和主體,不僅功法眾多,而且理論全面系統。同時道家養生術門類眾多,內容豐富齊全,無所不包。“養生”一詞最早見于《莊子》內篇中,養即保養、調養、補養之意,生是生命、生存、生長之意。養生就是保養生命,使生命健康長壽的意思。道家養生是基于這樣的理念通過守一、服食、內丹、起(qi)居等(deng)種種具體手段,使人的身(shen)心達(da)到一種內外協(xie)調的狀態,從而延長人的壽命,使人在下盡享(xiang)身(shen)心平和的狀態天年。
一、 道家養生之“道”
道家(jia)養生(sheng)之(zhi)“道”是道家(jia)養生(sheng)理論之(zhi)源,內在的哲學依據。從宇宙觀(天人(ren)合一、道生(sheng)萬物)、生(sheng)命觀(重人(ren)貴生(sheng)、性命雙(shuang)修)、認識(shi)論(陰陽協(xie)調(diao)、返本歸根(gen))三方面來說明。

道家養生(sheng)之“術(shu)”是道家養生(sheng)的(de)(de)(de)具體(ti)操作和實(shi)施手段,通常講究內(nei)養和外修(xiu),內(nei)養就是修(xiu)心(xin)、修(xiu)德,注(zhu)重精(jing)神層次的(de)(de)(de)涵養,常見的(de)(de)(de)有(you)守一、存思(si)、內(nei)丹,外修(xiu)側重鍛煉身體(ti),強健體(ti)魄,常見的(de)(de)(de)有(you)導引、胎息、服食、外丹,同時也有(you)內(nei)外兼修(xiu),形神共養的(de)(de)(de),常見的(de)(de)(de)有(you)吐納服氣、房中、起居。
“守(shou)一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)”是指在(zai)修煉(lian)時將身(shen)心控制在(zai)安靜(jing)的(de)狀態下,并把自(zi)己的(de)意念集中于對“一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)”或“道(dao)”的(de)養(yang)生功法。這里的(de)“一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)”相當于道(dao),《道(dao)德(de)經》稱“天得(de)一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)以(yi)清,地(di)得(de)一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)以(yi)寧,神(shen)(shen)得(de)一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)以(yi)靈,谷得(de)一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)以(yi)盈,萬物(wu)得(de)一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)以(yi)生,侯(hou)王得(de)一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)以(yi)為(wei)(wei)天下正(zheng)。”用一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)指代道(dao),說明道(dao)是構成(cheng)一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)切天地(di)萬物(wu)的(de)元素。“守(shou)一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)”一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)方(fang)面是“守(shou)真(zhen)一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)”,指守(shou)身(shen)內的(de)氣(qi)液(ye),《道(dao)樞》有“煉(lian)氣(qi)液(ye)以(yi)生龍虎,合龍虎以(yi)成(cheng)變化,使九還七返(fan),混(hun)一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)歸真(zhen)”;“守(shou)一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)”另一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)方(fang)面是“守(shou)玄一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)”,指守(shou)出(chu)現(xian)的(de)一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)種幻覺,《抱樸子(zi)》有“守(shou)玄一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi),并思其(qi)身(shen),分為(wei)(wei)三(san)人(ren),三(san)人(ren)已(yi)見,又(you)轉益之,可至數(shu)十人(ren),皆如已(yi)身(shen)”;“守(shou)一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)”還一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)方(fang)面是“守(shou)三(san)一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)”,指“天地(di)人(ren)”三(san)才(cai)和人(ren)身(shen)“精氣(qi)神(shen)(shen)”混(hun)三(san)為(wei)(wei)一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi),一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)共(gong)守(shou)之,《太(tai)平經》有“三(san)氣(qi)共(gong)一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi),為(wei)(wei)神(shen)(shen)根(gen)也(ye)。一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)為(wei)(wei)精,一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)為(wei)(wei)神(shen)(shen),一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)為(wei)(wei)氣(qi)。此(ci)三(san)者,共(gong)一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)位也(ye),本(ben)天地(di)人(ren)之氣(qi)”。

“存(cun)(cun)思”是(shi)指(zhi)在高度(du)入(ru)靜(jing)的(de)(de)情況下,將(jiang)意念存(cun)(cun)放(fang)在體內(nei)或(huo)體外的(de)(de)某處,以求得長生(sheng)的(de)(de)養(yang)生(sheng)功法。存(cun)(cun)思首要是(shi)思想高度(du)入(ru)靜(jing),忘掉自身的(de)(de)存(cun)(cun)在,達(da)到坐忘的(de)(de)境界,《大宗師》有“墮肢體,黜聰(cong)明,離形去知,同于大通(tong)”,入(ru)靜(jing)后感覺(jue)不(bu)到自身和(he)世(shi)界;然后存(cun)(cun)神(shen),即將(jiang)意念長時間(jian)放(fang)在體內(nei)或(huo)體外的(de)(de)某處,《云笈七(qi)簽(qian)》有“修身濟物,要在存(cun)(cun)思”;常見的(de)(de)存(cun)(cun)思是(shi)一種內(nei)視(shi)法,即以意念內(nei)視(shi)自己的(de)(de)臟(zang)腑,《千金要方》有“常當習(xi)皇帝內(nei)視(shi)法,存(cun)(cun)想思念,令(ling)見五(wu)臟(zang)如懸磬,五(wu)色了了分明,勿輟(chuo)也。”
“導(dao)引(yin)”是(shi)指伸(shen)屈、俯仰、行(xing)(xing)臥(wo)、倚立等各(ge)種(zhong)人的(de)(de)(de)(de)肢體運動(dong)的(de)(de)(de)(de)養(yang)生(sheng)(sheng)功法,通過(guo)伸(shen)展肢體達到宣導(dao)氣(qi)血的(de)(de)(de)(de)功效。《呂氏春秋(qiu)》認為(wei)(wei)“形不動(dong)則(ze)(ze)精不流(liu),精不流(liu)則(ze)(ze)氣(qi)郁(yu)”,主(zhu)張進行(xing)(xing)呼吸(xi)導(dao)引(yin)的(de)(de)(de)(de)鍛(duan)煉(lian)。導(dao)引(yin)大致可分為(wei)(wei)兩類(lei),一類(lei)是(shi)仿(fang)生(sheng)(sheng)導(dao)引(yin),即以(yi)(yi)模(mo)仿(fang)各(ge)種(zhong)動(dong)物動(dong)作進行(xing)(xing)鍛(duan)煉(lian),以(yi)(yi)華佗(tuo)的(de)(de)(de)(de)“五(wu)禽戲”最(zui)為(wei)(wei)著名(ming),此(ci)外還(huan)有鶴翔功、大雁功等;另一類(lei)是(shi)生(sheng)(sheng)理(li)導(dao)引(yin),即根(gen)據對人體生(sheng)(sheng)理(li)結(jie)構(gou)及醫學原理(li)的(de)(de)(de)(de)認識,針對防治各(ge)種(zhong)病癥而創編的(de)(de)(de)(de)成套(tao)鍛(duan)煉(lian)動(dong)作,其中較有影響力的(de)(de)(de)(de)有八段(duan)錦(jin)、易筋(jin)經(jing),武術中的(de)(de)(de)(de)太極(ji)拳。與導(dao)引(yin)相關的(de)(de)(de)(de)“按摩”則(ze)(ze)更偏重于按捏身體有關部位。
“吐(tu)納服(fu)(fu)氣(qi)(qi)”是(shi)指(zhi)在呼吸(xi)調節(jie)中,吐(tu)出胸中的濁氣(qi)(qi),吸(xi)進新鮮的空氣(qi)(qi),以(yi)求(qiu)長生延年的養生功(gong)法,服(fu)(fu)氣(qi)(qi)分為(wei)服(fu)(fu)外(wai)氣(qi)(qi)和服(fu)(fu)內(nei)氣(qi)(qi)。服(fu)(fu)氣(qi)(qi)要旨在于神氣(qi)(qi)具(ju)存,《存神煉氣(qi)(qi)銘(ming)》有(you)(you)“夫(fu)身為(wei)神氣(qi)(qi)之窟穴,神氣(qi)(qi)若存,身康力健。神氣(qi)(qi)若散,身乃死焉”;服(fu)(fu)外(wai)氣(qi)(qi)就(jiu)是(shi)吸(xi)入外(wai)氣(qi)(qi),《云笈(ji)七(qi)簽》有(you)(you)“凡服(fu)(fu)氣(qi)(qi)皆取天景明澄之時為(wei)好(hao),若恒(heng)風(feng)雨晦霧(wu)之時,皆不可引吸(xi)外(wai)氣(qi)(qi)”;服(fu)(fu)內(nei)氣(qi)(qi)一(yi)般指(zhi)服(fu)(fu)內(nei)元氣(qi)(qi),《云笈(ji)七(qi)簽》有(you)(you)“服(fu)(fu)元氣(qi)(qi)于氣(qi)(qi)海。氣(qi)(qi)海者,是(shi)受氣(qi)(qi)之初,傳形之始,當臍(qi)下三寸是(shi)也。”
“胎息(xi)(xi)”是指呼吸調節達(da)到(dao)一定程度(du)時(shi),神氣(qi)(qi)相結(jie),鼻(bi)息(xi)(xi)若有似(si)(si)無(wu)(wu),呼吸似(si)(si)在臍部(bu)進行,如(ru)同胎兒在母腹中(zhong)一樣的養生功(gong)法。《抱(bao)樸(pu)子》稱“得胎息(xi)(xi)者,能(neng)不以(yi)鼻(bi)口噓吸,如(ru)在胞胎之中(zhong),則道(dao)成矣。”胎息(xi)(xi)特別強調鼻(bi)息(xi)(xi)微微,似(si)(si)有還無(wu)(wu),閉息(xi)(xi)越長(chang)越好,練功(gong)是講(jiang)究(jiu)神氣(qi)(qi)相注,如(ru)《胎息(xi)(xi)經》稱“胎從(cong)(cong)服氣(qi)(qi)中(zhong)結(jie),氣(qi)(qi)從(cong)(cong)有胎中(zhong)息(xi)(xi)。氣(qi)(qi)入身來(lai)為之生,神去離形(xing)謂之死。知神氣(qi)(qi)可以(yi)長(chang)生,固守虛(xu)無(wu)(wu),以(yi)養神氣(qi)(qi)。”
“服食(shi)(shi)”是(shi)(shi)指通(tong)過服用特定的食(shi)(shi)物(wu)或者(zhe)(zhe)藥(yao)(yao)(yao)物(wu)來求得長生(sheng)成(cheng)仙(xian)的養生(sheng)功法。服食(shi)(shi)數(shu)量繁多,大(da)略有兩(liang)類,一(yi)是(shi)(shi)草木藥(yao)(yao)(yao),以植物(wu)和菌類為主,二是(shi)(shi)金(jin)石(shi)藥(yao)(yao)(yao),以某(mou)些金(jin)屬(shu)如汞、鉛、金(jin)、銀為原料的單(dan)味或合(he)成(cheng)的藥(yao)(yao)(yao)。服食(shi)(shi)功效(xiao)(xiao)(xiao)顯(xian)著(zhu),《抱樸(pu)子》稱“若(ruo)夫仙(xian)人,以藥(yao)(yao)(yao)物(wu)養身(shen),以術數(shu)延命,使(shi)內(nei)疾不(bu)生(sheng),外患不(bu)入,雖久視不(bu)死,而舊身(shen)不(bu)改(gai),茍有其道,無(wu)以為難也(ye)。”就是(shi)(shi)藥(yao)(yao)(yao)物(wu)養身(shen)的奇效(xiao)(xiao)(xiao)。《養性(xing)延命錄(lu)》稱“食(shi)(shi)谷者(zhe)(zhe),智慧聰明。食(shi)(shi)石(shi)者(zhe)(zhe),肥澤不(bu)老。食(shi)(shi)芝者(zhe)(zhe),延年不(bu)死。食(shi)(shi)元氣者(zhe)(zhe),地不(bu)能埋(mai),天(tian)不(bu)能殺(sha)。是(shi)(shi)故食(shi)(shi)藥(yao)(yao)(yao)者(zhe)(zhe),與天(tian)相(xiang)畢,日月并列(lie)。”食(shi)(shi)用種類不(bu)一(yi)樣,效(xiao)(xiao)(xiao)果也(ye)不(bu)一(yi)樣。
“外丹”是指用(yong)爐鼎燒煉(lian)鉛、汞等礦石,煉(lian)制(zhi)不(bu)(bu)死丹藥,以求長(chang)生的(de)養生功(gong)法。修煉(lian)者(zhe)認(ren)為服(fu)食(shi)金(jin)丹可(ke)以長(chang)生不(bu)(bu)老(lao),成仙上天。《抱樸子》稱“長(chang)生之道(dao),不(bu)(bu)在祭祀(si)鬼(gui)神也(ye),不(bu)(bu)在道(dao)引(yin)與(yu)屈伸也(ye),升仙之要,在神丹也(ye)。”同時認(ren)為服(fu)食(shi)金(jin)丹可(ke)以達到同金(jin)丹一(yi)樣(yang)不(bu)(bu)老(lao)不(bu)(bu)死的(de)性質,“夫五谷猶能(neng)活人(ren),人(ren)得(de)之則(ze)生,絕之則(ze)死,又(you)況于上品(pin)之神藥,其益人(ren)豈不(bu)(bu)萬倍于五谷耶?夫金(jin)丹之為物(wu),燒之愈久,變(bian)化愈妙。黃金(jin)人(ren)火,百煉(lian)不(bu)(bu)消,埋(mai)之,畢天不(bu)(bu)朽。服(fu)此二物(wu),煉(lian)人(ren)身體,故能(neng)令人(ren)不(bu)(bu)老(lao)不(bu)(bu)死。此蓋假求于外物(wu)以自堅固”(同上)。

“內丹”是指用人體作為爐鼎,以人的精氣神作為對象,運用意念,經過一定步驟,使精氣神在體內凝聚成丹,以求長生的養生功法。內丹修煉基本程序一般分為: 筑基煉已、煉精化氣、煉氣化神、煉神還虛、煉虛合道五個階段。筑基實為修復身體,益補精氣神的方法,《龍門丹訣》有“煉精,調炁,養精,達到三全才可以進入百日關”;煉精化氣,是將自身元精化為陽氣,通過任督二脈,而采入丹田,使神氣合一;煉氣化神,是人身之氣與天地之氣進一步相合,神氣合煉而歸于純陽之神;煉神還虛,由之前的肉體修煉而轉入精神修煉,進一步溫養自己的陽神,使陽神最終出竅;煉虛合道為丹道修煉的最(zui)上一乘,即無(wu)心于虛(xu)空(kong),做到本(ben)體(ti)虛(xu)空(kong),并安本(ben)體(ti)于虛(xu)空(kong)中,得(de)先(xian)天(tian)虛(xu)無(wu)之陽神。《性(xing)命圭旨》稱“大道乃虛(xu)空(kong)之父(fu)母(mu),虛(xu)空(kong)乃天(tian)地之父(fu)母(mu),天(tian)地乃人(ren)物之父(fu)母(mu)。”所以(yi)逆(ni)修須經(jing)歷虛(xu)空(kong)才能契(qi)合大道,最(zui)后形神俱妙(miao)、陽神出(chu)竅。
“房(fang)中”是指男(nan)女性(xing)生(sheng)活(huo)的(de)(de)節(jie)制和(he)(he)諧,以(yi)還精補腦等房(fang)中方法(fa)(fa)(fa)以(yi)求長生(sheng)的(de)(de)養生(sheng)功法(fa)(fa)(fa)。認為夫(fu)妻生(sheng)活(huo)是順應天(tian)地陰(yin)陽(yang)(yang)自然之道的(de)(de)行(xing)(xing)為,《素女經》稱“天(tian)地有開闔,陰(yin)陽(yang)(yang)有施化。人法(fa)(fa)(fa)陰(yin)陽(yang)(yang),隨四時。今(jin)欲(yu)不交(jiao)接(jie),神氣(qi)不宣布。陰(yin)陽(yang)(yang)閉(bi)隔,何以(yi)自補?”如果不進行(xing)(xing)正常的(de)(de)房(fang)室(shi)生(sheng)活(huo),就會(hui)影響精神和(he)(he)肉體的(de)(de)健康(kang),《養生(sheng)延命(ming)錄》稱“凡(fan)男(nan)不可(ke)無女,女不可(ke)無男(nan)。若孤獨而(er)思交(jiao)接(jie)者,損(sun)大壽,生(sheng)百病。”同時房(fang)室(shi)生(sheng)活(huo)應該有所節(jie)制和(he)(he)遵守(shou)的(de)(de)禁忌。
“起(qi)居(ju)”是指人(ren)(ren)的(de)(de)生活(huo)方式和環境要(yao)取法自然,順乎天(tian)時地理的(de)(de)的(de)(de)養生功法。起(qi)居(ju)是對人(ren)(ren)們(men)日常生活(huo)的(de)(de)調(diao)攝涵養,講究食飲有節(jie),起(qi)居(ju)有常,《皇帝內經》稱(cheng)“上古之人(ren)(ren),其(qi)(qi)知(zhi)道者,法于陰陽(yang),和于術(shu)數,食飲有節(jie),起(qi)居(ju)有常,不妄(wang)作(zuo)勞,故(gu)能(neng)形與(yu)神俱,而(er)盡終(zhong)其(qi)(qi)天(tian)年,度百(bai)(bai)歲乃(nai)去。今時之人(ren)(ren)不然也(ye),以(yi)酒(jiu)為漿(jiang),以(yi)妄(wang)為常,醉以(yi)入房,以(yi)欲竭其(qi)(qi)精(jing),以(yi)耗散其(qi)(qi)真(zhen),不知(zhi)持滿,不時御神,務快其(qi)(qi)心,逆于生樂(le)(le),起(qi)居(ju)無節(jie),故(gu)半百(bai)(bai)而(er)衰也(ye)。”要(yao)求保(bao)持精(jing)神的(de)(de)樂(le)(le)觀,《卻病(bing)歌(ge)》稱(cheng)“人(ren)(ren)或(huo)生長氣血弱(ruo),不會快樂(le)(le)疾病(bing)作(zuo)。病(bing)一作(zuo),心要(yao)樂(le)(le)。心一樂(le)(le),病(bing)都卻。”就(jiu)是肯(ken)定積極的(de)(de)精(jing)神可(ke)以(yi)戰勝疾病(bing)。

最后,道(dao)家(jia)重視養(yang)生(sheng)實(shi)際上(shang)是對生(sheng)命的(de)渴望(wang)和(he)對于人生(sheng)價值自我(wo)實(shi)現(xian)的(de)呼喚,是對人生(sheng)命的(de)真正關懷。道(dao)家(jia)哲學(xue)是與肉體的(de)修煉(lian)緊密相關的(de),也就是與其道(dao)術(shu)是結合的(de)。論道(dao)是為(wei)了論術(shu),明術(shu)則為(wei)更(geng)好行(xing)道(dao)、得道(dao),這樣哲學(xue)本體論與其實(shi)踐(jian)便統(tong)一起來了。
