The second is to pay attention to the maintenance and adjustment of the spirit. The latter is particularly important. "Su Tong. "On the Ancient Naivety" says: "Being quiet and empty, following the true qi and keeping the spirit inside, is content with illness." However, in real life, it is not easy to really become a person who has no desire, no desire, stable mood, no greed but both form and spirit. This requires a long period of character cultivation, so that the adjustment of healthy qi can be smooth and the pathogenic factors can not be ignored.
