As far as Zhuang zi is concerned, health preservation is "a kind of wisdom and practical activity to settle, manage and adjust life reasonably, which can be divided into spiritual significance and practical experience significance" Both of them complement each other with life, which constitutes the content of Laozi and Zhuangzi's health care thought.
The idea of health preservation is an important part of Laozi and Zhuangzi's theory and a concrete embodiment of Laozi and Zhuangzi's philosophy of life, covering many aspects. The regeneration of the body is the premise of Laozi and Zhuangzi's health care thought.
The cultivation of "body" and "life" lies in respecting life, enjoying life and paying attention to hygiene. We should attach importance to health as a major disaster, and your life should be aware of the importance. Then, life can always support life.
Cherishing one thing and softening one thing is the basis of Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi's health care thought. The way to maintain "one" and "softness" is to return to nature and know how to keep men and women, so that life can be persistent and soft.
Virtual quietness is the focus of Laozi and Zhuangzi's health care thought. The way of "quietness" and "time" lies in inaction, advancing with the times and nourishing knowledge with peace. Therefore, life can lead to emptiness and smoothness.
Abstinence is the main point of Laozi and Zhuangzi's health care thought. The long-term cultivation of "mind" and "desire" lies in being satisfied with Zhi Zhi, indifferent to the unknown, fasting and nourishing the heart, and being simple and without desire, so that life can last for a long time.
Having both form and spirit is the key to Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi's health-preserving thought. The unity of form and spirit lies in nourishing qi and loving essence, and combining motion and static. Only when the two complement each other can life be complete in form and essence.
Modesty is the principle of Lao zi and Zhuang zi's health care thought. "Modesty" and "indisputable" ways of keeping in good health lie in staying behind, hiding and being humble. If the water is good, the women are weak, and the wise are brave, life can be immortal.
Both Lao Zi and Zhuangzi cherish life and attach importance to it. From Laozi's "health preserving" to Zhuangzi's "health preserving classics", they have formed a rich philosophy of health preserving.
The main idea of Laozi and Zhuangzi's health preserving thought is that your body should be reborn "without being cheap".
There are a lot of propositions about life care in Laozi and Zhuangzi, which reveal Laozi and Zhuangzi's sense of rebirth and attitude of cherishing life everywhere.
Among them, the words "Guisheng", "Shousheng", "Changsheng", "Quansheng" and "Sheng Da" are the presentation of Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi's idea of rebirth and health preservation. In Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi's view, paying attention to oneself and life is the first stage of life care. Caring for the body and keeping in good health is the second stage of life care; Lifelong life is the third stage of life care.
In other words, it is the initial stage of life support of Laozi and Zhuangzi, the development stage of life support of Laozi and Zhuangzi, and the final stage of life support of Laozi and Zhuangzi.
Laozi and Zhuangzi have made a unique exposition on the principle of health preservation of Guisheng from different angles, but the essential connotation of their thoughts is basically the same.
It is the embodiment of Laozi's thought of cherishing his body and being reborn for health preservation. On the basis of Laozi's thought, Zhuangzi put forward the method of ignoring the benefits of regeneration and health.
Surviving a disaster is Lao Tzu's attitude towards life.
"Chapter 13 of Laozi" says: "Shame is shocking, and disaster is great."
Laozi contains rich thoughts of attaching importance to the body, and the reflection on the body reflects Laozi's concept of health preservation and life consciousness. "Han Feizi Relieving Labor" contains: "Those who love their children are kind to them, those who are reborn are kind to them, and those who make meritorious deeds are kind to them."
This sentence is a good interpretation of Laozi's thought of attaching importance to himself and being born again.
In Lao Tzu's view, your body should pay attention to great disasters, not change your situation because of foreign things, and not harm yourself with honor or disgrace.
In this way, life can be long.
From the perspective of health preservation, Laozi advocates self-cultivation and mutual support of body and country, and thinks that paying attention to body is not only the premise of longevity, but also the cornerstone of governing the country.
"Chapter 13 of Laozi" said: "If it is the world, it can be made in the world; Love is the world, if it can support it. "
The monarch who governs the world must first pay attention to his life and cherish his body. Only in this way can the world rest on him. On the other hand, if the monarch despises the body and life, he loses the foundation of governing the country.
In a word, rulers should not be above themselves, should not pretend to be the king of the world, but should govern the world on the basis of respecting and loving themselves.
Chapter 29 of Laozi says: "The world is an artifact, and it cannot be done. Those who do suffer, and those who take suffer. "
In Laozi's ideological system, "the world" is not an ordinary thing, it is sacred and precious, and it cannot be forcibly occupied, otherwise it will be lost forever. Therefore, Lao Tzu believes that only by taking the attitude of "valuing your body" as the world can you rule the world, and the people can eat sweetly, dress beautifully, live comfortably and have pleasant customs. Although there are armored soldiers and boats, it is useless. People only know that there is a monarch, but they don't praise, fear or hate the ruler.
This is Lao Tzu's main idea of raising the country and keeping fit, that is, not only to raise the lives of individuals, but also to raise the lives of the people all over the world.
The rebirth of your body not only conveys Laozi's thought of self-cultivation and family harmony, but also presents Laozi's cognition and understanding of life itself.
The "body" of Laozi's "attaching importance to the body" is the truth of life and an understanding of the essence of life.
From the perspective of supporting life, Laozi also put forward the ideological proposition that "a husband is not born for himself, but virtue is better than his life".
In other words, life is the highest value of human beings.
For Laozi, valuing oneself is different from valuing oneself. People who think that they value themselves will not "love themselves" or "take care of themselves, their home, their hometown, their country and the world", nor will they love others. People who "value themselves" don't "know themselves", are sharp-edged and arrogant, and don't know how to collect them in time, which eventually hurts themselves and others.
Laozi believes that people who are good at keeping in good health should cherish their own lives, not care about their own health and endanger their own lives; People who are good at cherishing life know how to hide their sharpness, and they will lose their true colors if they don't take life lightly.
In addition, Laozi's thought of attaching importance to the body is the embodiment of his body view.
The concepts of essence, qi, spirit and softness in Laozi are also Laozi's body view thoughts.
From "having a body" to "not having a body", "attaching importance to the body", "loving the body" and "attaching importance to life" are the whole structure of Laozi's view of body and life.
Therefore, Lao Tzu advocates the idea of rebirth, moderation and contentment, thinking that doing so can reduce risks, suffer less losses and be the safest.
Not fighting is another embodiment of Laozi's idea of rebirth and health preservation, and it is also an important part of Laozi's outlook on life.
Chapter 31 of Laozi says: "Soldiers are ominous tools, not the tools of gentlemen."
Laozi thinks that "soldier" is an ominous symbol, which will destroy the life of all things in nature and disturb the normal social production order of the people.
This concept highlights Laozi's concept of health preservation, and also highlights Laozi's concern for all life, which is a reflection of Laozi's own times.
Because of Lao Tzu's era, wars are frequent, natural thorns are everywhere, and man-made world disputes are constant. People not only lightly use their own lives, but also lightly use the lives of others, resulting in all life can not be cultivated by heaven and earth; Therefore, I think war is a harmful act.
Therefore, Laozi lamented: "Where there are teachers, there are thorns. After the great army, it will be a tragic year, "he added. "People who kill people will cry because of sadness. If you win, I will give you a funeral. "
In the face of this harmful behavior, Lao Tzu's attitude is to treat it with a funeral ceremony.
In Laozi's view, war is a tragic thing. When war has to be waged, people should do it in a calm way.
Even if the war is won, people should treat it with sadness and greet it with funeral ceremonies.
This is because people don't cherish their own lives, don't care about others' lives, and have no sense of rebirth.
Here, Lao Tzu treats the war in a funeral way, aiming at calling on people to cherish life, respect life and protect health.
Laozi believes that the reason of war is that people don't know how to maintain their lives.
War is a portrayal of people's inner desires and dissatisfaction, which touches people's disputes over money, goods, fame and fortune, thus losing the way to maintain their lives for a long time.
"Lao Zi Gui Zhi" said: "The reason why people sacrifice their lives for justice and make great achievements is because they take advantage of narrow risks, touch heavy bans, go to the white border, take the risk of arrows, disregard their own health, gain rights, and live for the glory of fame and fortune."
Faced with these disputes, Lao Tzu couldn't help saying, "Who is closer, the name or the body? Which is more important, health or goods? Is it illness, death or illness? " On the river, Gong Zhu said, "If you become famous, you will retire. Too much money is harmful to your health. Benefits are good, and merits are sick. "
This sentence reflects Laozi's indifferent view of fame and wealth and health care.
Lao Tzu thinks that external fame and fortune, commodities, gains and losses are all tiny things compared with life, on the grounds that "the pursuit of profit in life is the element of death;" If you don't have a beneficial body, you will be the root of your life. "
Therefore, Lao Tzu advocates that people should change their attitudes towards war and pay more attention to life, so as to acquire a way of life.
