(1) Rest and fitness
It is said that after defeating Emperor Yan and Chiyou, the Yellow Emperor went to seek truth and live in seclusion, hoping to gain a long-term vision. Kongtong mountain guangchengzi told him: "You can live forever without toiling and shaking your essence;" I can't see anything, I can't hear anything and I don't know anything. God will keep his shape and live forever. " This is a typical way of rest and fitness.
(2) Exercise and fitness
The idea of exercise and fitness began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Zi Huazi said, "When you are on a camping trip, you have nothing to lose, and your six internal organs melt into the valley, so your body fluids are widely distributed, so you can stay for a long time without embarrassment, and your running water will not rot, so you should swim." As a result, the concept of "running water does not rot, relatives do not bite" appeared.
Second, the balance of yin and yang.
Yin and Yang are the basic propositions of China's ancient philosophy, and they are also used to explain the phenomena of life and health. Traditional medicine believes that the human body must maintain the balance of yin and yang in order to make people healthy. The yin-yang state of the human body is influenced by the meteorological changes of the four seasons, so people can only keep the balance of yin and yang to cope with natural changes. Su Wen said: "People who are yin and yang in four seasons are the foundation of all things, so saints raise yang in spring and summer and yin in autumn and winter." "Born of Yin and Yang, opposition leads to death; If you make a living from this, it will be chaotic. " Pay attention to the importance of mental activity and nourishing, and the combination of static and dynamic is very important for human health.
Third, the unity of form and spirit
"Shape" refers to the human body; "God" refers to human spirit, consciousness and thinking activities. The unity of form and spirit refers to the combination of human body and spirit. On the contrary, it is harmful to human health, such as: "anger hurts the liver, likes sadness, grieves the lungs, and fears hurting the kidneys." Therefore, spiritual happiness contributes to physical health, and physical health can also promote spiritual happiness.
Fourth, conform to nature.
Adapting to nature comes from Taoist thought, but in fitness, it is not demanding, not excessive, and adapting to people's situation. Choose a fitness method according to your physical strength, age, gender, occupation and other differences. In the process of fitness, you can achieve the fitness goal in the most gentle way by step by step, persevering, not pursuing a certain result, conforming to nature and persisting for a long time.
