Zeng Guofan was weak when he was young. He got lung disease around the age of 30 and had a chance to die. Middle-aged people have skin diseases and kidney diseases; I got an eye disease in my later years, and I was almost blind. There are also familial cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and 6 1 year-old died of stroke.

In just 60 years, Zeng Guofan hardly had a healthy body, but almost one person did two or three things, and self-management was also in place. Known as "the three immortals of merit, being a teacher and being perfect". At that time, the average life expectancy of Qing people was in their thirties, and Zeng Guofan lived above 6 1, which was considered a long life.

Second, the method of keeping in good health (the aftercare of mind, body and mind)

Zeng Guofan was sick when he was young, and read a lot of poems and books, summing up that "strong body is like wealth, and it is rich because of abstinence; The weak, like the poor, are self-sufficient because of thrift. "

Zhi Chengdi: Five things to keep healthy. There are about five points to keep healthy:

One day, sleep and food remain the same; Second, punish anger; Third, abstinence; For four days, sleep and wash feet every night; Five days, three thousand steps each after two meals a day.

1, Health: The body is the material basis and carrier of life. Without a good body, making contributions is a luxury. In Qing Dynasty, Li Yu said that "sleep can replenish essence, nourish qi, strengthen spleen and stomach, and strengthen bones and muscles".

Zeng Guofan works at sunrise, rests at sunset, goes to bed early and gets up early.

Zeng Guofan's diet is very regular. He only eats eight points full, takes a walk after dinner and soaks his feet before going to bed.

2, nourishing the heart: the heart here does not refer to the heart, but the external performance of people's psychological emotions, but also a manifestation of intelligence. The heart is the human body's sensory system. After collecting information, it will converge to the central nervous system, giving people a comprehensive response and feeling.

Get rid of desire and anger, but don't lose stubbornness. Stubbornness represents perseverance and ambition. It is difficult for modern people to distinguish between greed and anger. Only by retaining stubbornness can we achieve the goal of making contributions. Zeng Guofan combined health and life perfectly.

My heart is uncertain and my body is like duckweed. If you don't have a bottom in your heart, even if you are in the Peach Blossom Garden, you still can't feel the fun.

3, nourishing the spirit: through meditation, meditation, nourishing the spirit, raising the spirit of awe. God is a kind of aura, energy. The instinctive expression of the subconscious is "God".

Zeng Guofan said, "Literati can tell the difference between clear and turbid when they talk about God." Seeing God and knowing people shows the clarity of "God". Inner stability, no desire is just.

Third, philosophy of life.

In his understanding of keeping in good health, Zeng Guofan gradually integrated body and mind with spirit, and wrote "Essentials of Keeping in Good Health", which means that people can only be stable mentally, spiritually and physically if they have inner stability.

"God is calm and harmonious, and his heart is harmonious and complete. He is impetuous, his heart swings and his heart hurts. " The viscera of the human body are tangible, but the emotions and spirits are intangible. It is this invisible emotion and spirit that harmonizes the tangible viscera.

Calligraphy, Go and Tai Ji Chuan are all good ways to keep fit.

Fourth, sentiment

When I was young, I didn't know how to take care of my body. Now when I am old, I feel overwhelmed and start to pay attention to maintenance. But it's too late, and it's better than nothing.

Try to go to bed early and get up early every day, don't think too much before going to bed, and don't get up early. Develop a biological clock and good habits that suit you. You can't take a walk even if you are full for 8 minutes.

Through learning, I know that a person's body should be controlled by emotions, manage their emotions well, be their own master, and settle down without being disturbed by foreign affairs, so as to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude and be relatively healthy.

Methods can be meditation, yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and always take care of your heart.
