Zhuangzi was a representative of Taoism in the Warring States Period, a famous philosopher, thinker and writer. In the pre-Qin era, when the average life expectancy was only 30 years old, he actually lived 83 years old, and he was already a very old man at that time.

Zhuangzi is full of philosophy, enjoys himself and is good at keeping in good health. His way of keeping in good health is mainly reflected in four aspects: less desire, less desire, meditation and detachment.

Zhuangzi thinks that private is the root of all evils and all diseases. If a person is full of selfishness, he is bound to haggle over every ounce, be swayed by considerations of gain and loss and worry day and night. This will inevitably lead to losses, and it will become a chronic illness. Only those who are ambitious and selfless can be open-minded, contented and live a long and healthy life.

Zhuangzi thinks that lust is Fukashi, but not longitudinal. Indulgence is bound to "cause trouble." A person with less lust will not bully men and women; If you are a materialist, you won't commit suicide; If you want a few officials, you will not speculate. Knowing his honor, keeping his shame, being at peace and pursuing his ambition will make him healthy and at peace.

Meditation Zhuangzi thinks that if a person is restless and restless all day, he is ill. Only when you are calm, "empty-headed, calm and steady" and have strong self-control ability can you be less disturbed by the outside world and maintain a calm mind and a healthy body.

The detached Zhuangzi looks at life with a very detached attitude, and everything goes with the flow. He leads a hard life and sometimes has to borrow rice from others to make ends meet. He is indifferent to these.
