Within ten steps, kill one person, cross a thousand miles, leave no one behind. This is a famous sentence of the poet Li Bai, but as a poet, Li Bai not only has great talent and attainments in literature, but few people know that he is also a swordsman. Although the final cause of Li Bai's death is unknown, the martial arts skills laid for him by practicing sword have made him live to 6 1 year old.
Sixty-one years old may be nothing now, but in ancient times, especially for people like him who drank wine as water, it was very valuable. Li Bai, who gave up drinking, may be a fitness expert, but it may be difficult for us to see so many magnificent poems.
Just like the so-called Tang Poetry and Song Poetry, when we think of the Song Dynasty, we all think of the image of a weak scholar who is powerless to return to heaven. As a dynasty that emphasized literature and suppressed martial arts, Yue Fei is familiar to us as a military commander, but there are not many records about his training for himself and the army in historical materials. What we are familiar with is only the four characters loyal to the king on his back.
There is another person who is definitely unexpected, and he is Lu You. According to historical records, Lu You was born weak and sick. As a scholar, he was troubled by his weak body until middle age. But after he went to the military camp in middle age, he actually began to exercise. After years of exercise, he even pulled a bow that could move two stones and kill a tiger.
In my later years, because I was too old to ride a horse or carry a pike, my fitness mode changed to whistling. This whistle is not screaming. In ancient times, whistling was a very elegant thing. First of all, you should be able to relax completely, and then adjust according to the rhyme of some aphorisms. Besides, it is whistling. Generally speaking, one whistle is half a shovel, and two whistles complete a shovel.
In today's modern science, this kind of fitness helps to enhance people's cardiopulmonary function, cultivate people's sentiment, and make people always open-minded and maintain a very good mood.
Long whistling made Lu You get rid of his weak body and extended his creative career a lot. He wrote at least 20,000 poems in his life, which was unmatched in the Song Dynasty in terms of poetry output, giving full play to his talent.
It can be seen that fitness is beneficial to our body and mind from ancient times to the present, which can not only help us get a healthy body, but also be a cornerstone for people with lofty aspirations. Mao Zedong said that the body is the capital of revolution. Only with good health can we have a better life.
