Chen Zhi, a health expert in the Song Dynasty, once wrote an article "Shu Qi Zhai Shi Le", taking stock of ten kinds of health preserving methods of the ancients, such as reading and writing, planting flowers and grass, cultivating self-cultivation, which all looked very comfortable.
1, read the righteousness book. The Song Dynasty emphasized Confucian classics and righteousness. What is exploring Li Ming's knowledge? The study of righteousness and reason? . In other words, when you read the book of wisdom, you will not be confused if you have the direction of progress in your heart.
2. study law posts. That is to say, when copying copybooks and practicing calligraphy, we should pay attention to the unity of spirit and attention, and all parts of the body should naturally cooperate and coordinate their efforts, and apply their strength to the pen tip in order to write a good hand. Doing this for a long time can make the blood flow smoothly. It is worth noting that the average life expectancy of famous calligraphers in ancient times is about 80 years old, and it is also long-lived today.
3. Sit still sincerely. As the saying goes? Peace of mind means peace of mind, and qi regulates blood? Meditation can make the mind clear, the body get enough rest and the spirit be adjusted.
4, friends talk. A thousand dollars is easy to get, but a bosom friend is hard to find. Talking with friends from time to time can not only increase your knowledge, but also help to dispel doubts and be beneficial to your physical and mental health.
5. Drink and smoke. Drinking some wine properly can relax muscles and promote blood circulation, dredge meridians and prevent diseases, but don't drink too much.
6. Water the flowers and plant bamboo. The ancients liked to keep company with flowers and plants and engage in gardening activities properly, which not only exercised their bodies, but also adjusted their emotions and cultivated their temperament.
7. Listen to the piano and play with cranes. In the words of modern people, it is the joy of health preservation. Foreign studies have confirmed that music can really preserve one's health and has the functions of relieving pain, lowering blood pressure and preventing brain aging. So it is good to listen to some self-cultivation music often.
8. burn incense and stir-fry tea. Smelling incense adds spice and drinking tea prolongs life. Different scents have different functions. Sandalwood can broaden the chest and regulate qi, agarwood can soothe the nerves, and flowers such as jasmine can stimulate appetite and strengthen the spleen. Drinking tea is more beneficial, it can help urinate, eliminate phlegm and clear heat, keep fit and be happy.
9. Climb the mountain. The ancients also liked sports. They often climb mountains to relax their muscles and broaden their horizons.
10, playing cards and chess. This can activate the brain, improve the reaction ability and enrich life. Of course, it is not good to indulge in it.
