This man sells medicine and practices medicine for a living, knows martial arts, calls himself Li, and is famous for Qingyun. He is over one hundred and fifty years old.
Chen Jiachang, big and small, covers his mouth with laughter when he talks nonsense.
Li Qingyun saw people's hearts, and he didn't know how to defend himself. After all, he is used to this situation.
Li Qingyun's medical skill is very good. His treatment of the wounds of his fellow villagers has come true. Therefore, it was welcomed by Chen Jiachang people and gradually settled down in Chen Jiachang.
In Chenjiachang, Li Qingyun also married an old lady. Although they are married, they don't live together, and only let the old woman wash and cook for them.
Because she often goes out to practice medicine, Li Qingyun hired a boy of 14 years old from Chenjiachang to choose medicines for herself.
Li Qingyun's medical practice smacks of robbing the rich and helping the poor. He charges a lot of money to the rich and little or no money to the poor.
Li Qingyun has a unique lifestyle. He doesn't drink, drink tea, smoke, eat regularly and quantitatively, go to bed early and get up early. Every time I have leisure, I close my eyes, put my hands on my knees, hold my head high and stay motionless for hours. He has long nails on his left hand, and often covers the nails on his fingers with a small bamboo tube, which is six or seven inches long.
After a long meditation, I walked around. Or go to a heart-piercing shop near Gao Qiao and invite people to play cards. Every time you play cards, you will lose about 120 words, so that your friends can win enough to make a living.
Li Qingyun is taciturn, quiet and never angry, so people are happy to get along with him.
People recall what he once said about his One Happy and Fifth era in Nonsense, and think that he is honest and honest, so he is curious and earnestly verifies it. Li Qingyun didn't want to explain more, but simply said that he had been to Kaixian a hundred years ago and talked about the people and things that appeared near Chenjiachang in Kan Kan a hundred years ago.
Amazing!
Ask him when and where he was born. He still smiled and stopped talking.
As the days passed, the time came unconsciously 19 12.
This year, something happened: when I was young, the burden of choosing medicine was given to this Yang.
Xiang Zhiyang was born in 1806. By this year, he is 93 years old, and he is a rare old man with a long life in the world.
Surprisingly, however, Li Qingyun is still alive! Not only alive, but also 50 or 60 years old in appearance!
That is to say, even by the most conservative calculation, Li Qingyun will be at least 140 years old by 19 12.
Thus, the story of Li Qingyun, a long-lived old man, reached the ears of Sichuan warlord Yang Sen at 1927.
Surprised, Yang Sen respectfully invited Li Qingyun to Wanxian, Sichuan, where he was stationed, to teach him how to keep healthy.
In Wanxian, Yang Sen specially made a new dress for Li Qingyun, and according to Li Qingyun, he was born in the 16th year of Kangxi (1677), so he asked the photo studio to take a full-length photo and display it in the window, indicating that "Li Qingyun, a native of Kaixian, was 250 years old and was taken in Wanzhou in the spring and March of the 16th year of the Republic of China".
The incident was a sensation, and newspapers in the province competed to report it as an anecdote.
It's a pity that Li Qingyun couldn't tell the mystery of fitness, but only emphasized one point: quietism, let nature take its course.
"Quiet", Yang Senxue can't.
(The picture above was taken by a man named Yang Sen, so please watch it carefully. Does it look like a 250-year-old? )
Yang Sen is lewd and has more than forty wives and concubines in his family. He is the idol of another lecherous warlord, Zhang Zongchang. How is it possible to ask Yang Sen to be "quiet"? (However, Yang Sen later became a long-lived old man. At the age of 93, he successfully got 19-year-old concubine pregnant, setting a record for the oldest child. )
Yang Sen invited Li Qingyun to attend the inauguration ceremony of Wanxian "Wei Sen Bridge" and escorted him home.
In the 20th year of the Republic of China (193 1), in order to please Chiang Kai-shek, who just made Nanjing his capital, Yang Sen gave Chiang Kai-shek a generous gift with the theme of "Immortality" and a photo of the birthday girl as proof.
Chiang Kai-shek was very happy. He asked Yang Sen to try to escort Li Qingyun back to Beijing, "so that Chinese and foreign people can look forward to our country getting ahead and have a way to understand his cultivation."
However, that year, Li Qingyun has come to an end.
It is said that Li Qingyun told a friend before he died, "I have finished what I need to do, and I want to go home at once."
On September 15 of that year, Wanzhou Daily published a report saying, "Li Qingyun, a 256-year-old man from Kaixian County, died of illness and was buried in Li Jiawan, Yixue Village, Changsha Town, Kaixian County."
Hearing the news of Li Qingyun's death, Yang Sen felt very sad. He specially sent someone to investigate Li Qingyun's real age and background, and published a report entitled "The Real Record of a 250-year-old Longevity Man". The article describes Li Qingyun's appearance like this: "Li Qingyun has good eyesight and vigorous steps. He is seven feet tall, with long nails and a healthier complexion. "
Yang Sen's report aroused the interest of American news media, and many American journalists flocked to Sichuan to report.
Local residents said in an interview that they had known Li Qingyun since childhood, and Li Qingyun was not very old when he died. There are also many people who say that Li Qingyun was once a friend of their grandfather. People know almost nothing about Li Qingyun's early life, except that he said that when he was 10 years old, he went out to Gansu, Shaanxi, * * *, Annan, Siam and Manchuria to collect herbs.
Professor Hu Zhongqian, who was teaching at Chengda University at that time, provided Li Qingyun's "birth certificate": Qing * * * celebrated his birthday on 1827, so he should have been born on 1677.
Therefore,1On May 5, 933, Time published an article entitled "Turtle-Pigeon-Dog", which reported the story and history of Li Qingyun in detail, saying that he was 256 years old when he died, married 23 wives and raised 65,438+.
Americans summed up Li Qingyun's longevity as "keep a cool head, sit like a turtle, walk like a bird and sleep like a dog".
Although Time magazine reported this, the fact that Li Qingyun lived to be 256 years old is unbelievable.
This involves a serious topic: how long is the limit of human life?
Therefore, from last century to this century, the debate about Li Qingyun has always been a controversial topic.
Many people want to believe that Li Qingyun really lived to be 256 years old-because if it is true, it means that people's life expectancy can reach and exceed 256 years old, and everyone may approach and exceed this life expectancy. This is really a pleasant and exciting thing.
Hu, an 80-year-old man from Qingfu Town, Gaoxian County, Sichuan Province, showed his preserved photos at 1986, and provided written materials, telling the story of going up the mountain to collect medicines, killing tigers with knives, digging up Ganoderma lucidum, and the story of Yang Sen's birthday for him.
1975 From 2000 to 2000, Liu Bailing, a Taoist master who lived in Sao Paulo, Brazil, got a photo of Li Qingyun that no one in the western countries had ever known. From this photo, people can clearly see the appearance of Li Qingyun, and they can also see the old man's long curly nails.
Liu Bailing said that he had seen Li Qingyun with his own eyes in China and thought he was one of his masters.
Liu Bailing also said that he had asked Li Shishi what the most basic Taoist practice was, and Li Shishi replied: "The most basic Taoist practice is to learn to remain inaction."
Mr. Liu Chengxun, an 87-year-old man from Kaixian County who lives at No.24 Chengquan Lane, Changzhou City, also published an article in the sixth issue of Qigong magazine "Remembering the 256-year-old birthday girl Li Qingyuan (Li Qingyun)".
Dr. Jwing-Ming Yang said in his book "Qigong for changing tendons and washing marrow" that Li Qingyun was not only a Qigong master, but also an expert in Chinese herbal medicine. He spent almost all his life in the mountains.
Stuart. Alf? In 2002, Stuart Alve Olson wrote a book "The Teaching Method of Qigong by Immortal Taoists: Eight Basic Exercises of Master Li Qingyun" to explore Li Qingyun's way of keeping in good health.
In any case, Li Qingyun's real age is still a mystery. However, one thing is certain, there is no doubt that Li Qingyun appeared in Kaixian County from 1820 to 193 1 death11year. Dear friends, come on.
