Longevity is a good wish of people all over the world. With the improvement of living standards and the development of science and technology, people's desire for longevity is stronger. How to live a long and healthy life, the ancients have accumulated rich experience, the most important of which is to pay attention to spiritual and moral cultivation. In short, it is necessary to cultivate "spirit", that is, "medicine tonic is not as good as food tonic, and food tonic is not as good as god tonic", and nourishing the spirit is the top priority of health care.
The ancients attached great importance to spiritual self-preservation. First, we should be calm, second, we should live a happy life, fourth, we should avoid lust and lust, and achieve moral perfection and longevity. The ancients paid great attention to quietness and emptiness, and hid their spirits in it, which was also the highest state of spiritual cultivation. How do modern people do it? I summed up eight points.
First, indifferent to fame and fortune, dilute personal gains and losses. Winners and losers are things outside of themselves. I can't let it hurt my skin. I must be complacent and indifferent, depressed and calm. Fame and fortune are the root of all evil. The pursuit of fame and fortune will inevitably lead to seven emotions disorder, which is a taboo for health care. Indifferent to fame and fortune, lasting righteousness can lead to longevity.
The second is to be content with the status quo. The words of ancient thinker Mozi can be used for reference. "No peace of mind, no peace of mind; Not without money, not unintentionally. " You must learn to be willing to do more than you can do, and you will feel comfortable.
The third is to put an end to delusion. In the Qing Dynasty, Lu Leshan pointed out in "Health Mirror": Diseases start from troubles, and troubles are born from delusions. There are three opportunities for delusion: "or recalling decades of honor and disgrace, grievances, emotions, joys and sorrows, and all kinds of leisure, are all delusions of the past." Or now, I can adapt but I am still timid, hesitant and hesitant. Now this is an illusion. Or look forward to long-term prosperity, everything that cannot be achieved or won is a delusion in the future. "
The fourth is to be good at facing adversity. Lu You, a famous poet, left many well-known poems, such as "Why ask more questions when one denigrates the reputation of others?" Don't be tired of laughing when we meet "and" The wind blew the house last night, and now the rain is hitting the wall. Although you know how to cook, don't waste wild songs "... in the face of honor, slander and the hardships of life, you should be optimistic and open-minded.
Fifth, we must be childlike in order to remain optimistic. Childishness is straightforward and carefree. Lu You wrote: "Eighty poor people are still childlike, and I don't know if I look at the mountains and the water." "Laugh at my childlike innocence before flowers, accompanied by a group of bamboo horses." "The short hat (zān, children's" Hairpin Phoenix ") dances on the roadside and is still crazy at the age of 80." So why is a childlike innocence afraid of aging? Although Lu You's life was difficult and bumpy, he was repeatedly excluded, his career was not smooth, his life was tight, and his marriage was also very painful. But he died at the age of 85, far exceeding the average life expectancy at that time, because his view of life and death was ancient.
Sixth, be broad-minded. When climbing Mount Emei, I remembered a couplet that said, "Open your mouth and laugh, laugh at the past and laugh at the present, and laugh at everything; A big belly can hold you, the sky and the ground. "Things change, and unpleasant things often happen. Everything should be considered from the overall situation. If your heart is wider than heaven and earth, you won't haggle over every ounce and you won't be upset. Tolerance is natural and happy. Lu You also said, "It's not that I can get sick when I'm old, but that Taoist people are broad-minded. "
Seventh, sex is slow. Chronic refers to calm and gentle personality, not impatient, and rarely confused. Old-fashioned, natural longevity. According to legend, there was an old man in ancient times. At the age of 80, he is alert and bright, and he is still strong. When people asked about the art of keeping in good health, the old man smiled and pointed to the banner on the wall and said, "Old people are slow because of sex, and they are broad-minded without illness." It is difficult for red apricots to ban rain, and Song Qing resists the cold of the year. " Explanatory slowness is the way to live a long life.
Eight is to be obedient. Everything goes with the flow, whether it's the rain or the wind, singing and laughing, crying, and having different opinions. What people say in their ears, like an ancient well without waves, is affordable and can be put down. Confucius said, "You know your destiny at fifty, but you obey at sixty." It is important to be optimistic and live a long life and keep a good mood. Marx also pointed out: "A good mood can relieve the fatigue and pain of the body more than ten drugs."
Health preservation focuses on nourishing the heart, which is not only beneficial to people's health and longevity, but also beneficial to people's moral cultivation and the construction of a harmonious society. From the perspective of Scientific Outlook on Development, health care should also be an important task of health work, the best measure to save health resources, and an important measure to do a good job in national health care. ▲
