People are alive. The so-called life can generally be understood as physical and psychological (that is, physical and mental) dependence. Both are indispensable. Without the body, the spirit cannot be pinned, and life does not exist; Only the body, no spirit, life is almost impossible to continue. Life practice has proved that calligraphy, as an art, does play a certain role in people's health and longevity. The age of famous calligraphers in past dynasties is a good example. "People live at the age of seventy, but many calligraphers of past dynasties lived at the age of seventy or eighty, or even eighty or ninety. For example, Liu Gongquan was 87 years old, Ou Yangxun was 84 years old and Yu Shinan was 80 years old. Seventy-nine, eighty-one, seventy-four, eighty-nine, eighty-five, Liang ninety-two, Weng Tonghe eighty-five, Bao eighty, He seventy-four, and so on. It can be seen that practicing calligraphy really contributes to people's health.

Calligraphy practice is an artistic pursuit. When practicing calligraphy, your mind is highly concentrated, and you can even reach the state of forgetting yourself. Blend your feelings and thoughts into the artistic beauty of words, turn a blind eye to unpleasant things that happen in front of you or around you, and thus enter a relaxed and comfortable state without delusions and troubles. Getting the enjoyment of beauty makes people happy physically and mentally. Cultivate temperament, enjoy spirit, benefit physical and mental health and preserve health. If we can persevere, we can achieve a state of concentration, openness and physical and mental pleasure.

This wonderful relationship between calligraphy and health preservation can also be explained from the perspective of "practice". In fact, the sitting posture when writing is what Qigong calls "sitting". If a person can persist in sitting for a while every day, he can achieve the purpose of guiding his mind, invigorating his spirit, keeping his mind in his abdomen, breathing smoothly and coordinating his body and mind, just like practicing Qigong. If you persist in this way, it will be good for your body and mind! Get sick less, be healthy and happy, and live longer.
