It is impossible to prove how old Li Qingyun lived, but according to informed sources, he did live 170.
There are many legends about Li Qingyun. For example, it is said that he was Chen Yuanchang, a general under Shi Dakai of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. After the Dadu River War, Shi Dakai was completely annihilated. Chen Yuanchang changed his name to Li Qingyun, disguised as a herbalist, and fled to Chenjiachang, Kaixian County for refuge. But in any case, there is no doubt that Li Qingyun knows martial arts. Not only that, Li is also a famous scholar of traditional Chinese medicine. According to the ancient theory of health care for the elderly, he concluded that health care must be based on kindness, thrift, harmony and tranquility. These four words are also a reference for modern health care.
The so-called kindness is kindness and love. Li Qingyun went to the countryside to treat diseases all the year round and made a living by selling herbs. He charged the rich a high fee for medicine to support the whole family. In my spare time, I often go to Gao Qiao to invite people to play cards, and I lose about 120 each time. The purpose is to make the players win enough money for the day. Li Qingyun believes that this kind, loving and happy mood is enough to resist all kinds of disasters and make people live a long and healthy life. Modern medical research also reveals that caring people can keep good contact with colleagues and neighbors, which is of great benefit to their psychological balance and even their health.
The so-called frugality means economy or moderation. Li Qingyun's "frugality" is multifaceted. He said in his "Longevity General Formula": A simple person means nothing too much. For example, the delicacies in the food, the splendid clothes in the finery, the fame in the body and the golden jade in the wealth are all exceptionally beautiful, which is enough to disturb my mind, and I should stay away from them. Simple purpose, this is what he believes in frugal diet to nourish the spleen and stomach; If you are frugal with lust, you will gather your spirit; Words are frugal to raise interest, friends are frugal to choose too many friends, and wine and color are frugal to abstain from sex. Thrift in thinking can avoid troubles and troubles. If you save one point in everything, you will gain one point. Its meaning can be described as precise.
The so-called harmony is harmony. Li Qingyun believes that harmony between monarch and minister leads to the prosperity of the country, harmony between father and son leads to family happiness, harmony between brothers leads to the support of brothers and sisters, harmony between husband and wife leads to quiet boudoir, and harmony between friends protects each other. The ancients believed that in order to keep the essence in the body full forever, it is necessary to remain peaceful and ruthless. Li Qingyun's "harmony" has something in common with the views of health experts in past dynasties. Li himself is very kind. He is never angry, so his neighbors are more willing to get along with him. Because once an old man who claimed to be his brother came to visit him in Chenjiachang from Shanghai, all his acquaintances called him Mr. Li Er.
The so-called quiet means quiet, calm and peaceful. That is to say, the body is tired and the heart is unmoved. Li Qingyun believes that God's harm is not only physical harm. "God's disobedience is unhealthy." In his spare time, Li Qingyun put his hands on his knees, held his head high, closed his eyes and sat motionless for hours. He is usually quiet and never talks about irrelevant things. He wrote in "The Secret of Immortality": The husband closed his eyes, so he rested. Therefore, people who are persistent in their hearts are persistent in delusions. You should sit cross-legged, close your eyes and look straight into your heart, so that all other thoughts will be extinguished and the gv 10 will be bright and bright. In fact, Li Qingyun's "meditation" is also a kind of Qigong.
