Li Qingyuan believes that people's life span is long and short, which is determined by vitality. Vitality, also called vitality, is born. He vividly compares caring and not caring about vitality to the place where candles are stored.

The same is true of keeping in good health.

He appreciated a sentence from Laozi: "Don't work hard, don't shake its essence, and don't worry about it."

"He said that the essence of this is often ignored by mediocre people who are not good at keeping in good health.

According to Pu Weng, an old man who was good at keeping in good health in ancient times, he particularly emphasized that people who are good at keeping in good health must be based on kindness, thrift, harmony and tranquility.

The so-called kindness means kindness and love, kindness, no harm to things or people, and a kind heart. This kind, loving and happy mood is enough to resist all kinds of disasters and naturally make people healthy and live longer.
