Qi Bo said to him, "Those who know the Dharma in ancient times are based on Yin and Yang, and they are based on several tricks. They eat and drink regularly, live regularly and don't work rashly, so they can live in harmony with God, and they live to 100 years old. " .
The ancient theory of innocence began in Su Wen, and its main content was that the Yellow Emperor asked Qi Bo for advice. The above is the first question asked by the Yellow Emperor.
The Yellow Emperor asked Qi Bo, "Why did people in ancient times live to be a hundred years old, but they were still flexible and not corrupt?" . Why are people in their fifties now? "
Qi Bo replied: Because the ancient people who knew the Dharma were based on Yin and Yang, harmonious by counting, frugal in diet, regular in daily life, and got something for nothing, they could live to be 100 years old and die.
The method here is based on yin and yang, harmonious strokes, proper diet, regular living and no unnecessary work, which is the fundamental secret of health and longevity.
The meaning of this passage is: people should obey the laws of nature, combine the changes of heaven and earth, eat moderately, work and rest regularly, don't overwork and overthink, and don't have excessive sex life. Only in this way can we preserve our body and mind and live to the natural life of talent.
