Eat without satiety, live without anxiety.
Confucius believes that the philosophy of life lies not in wealth, but in practicing the morality of "benevolence" and cultivating yourself into a "benevolent man." He advocated: "A gentleman doesn't want to eat enough, and he doesn't want peace. He is sensitive to things and speaks carefully. " He demanded: "It is not enough for a scholar to be ambitious in the road. He should be ashamed of his clothes and tired of eating." He thought, "it's hard to eat all day without intention!" "
Don't eat good rice or chopped meat-you are very picky about food.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were not only rich varieties of food, but also very particular about diet. Confucius' diet view is very representative. In the preface to Guitao Collection by Zhang Dai in Ming Dynasty, he wrote: "In the Middle Ages, only Confucius knew the taste, and he was tireless in eating and meticulous, with the characteristics of diet. When it comes to cooked food, it is almost inedible; If you eat vegetables, you will never eat them. Four words, eating classics, that is, health theory. "
Confucius later made a fortune, became an official and general manager of Lu. His salary was "60 thousand tons of millet", and he was already rich at that time. However, at that time, Confucius did not live a luxurious life because of his rich life. He is very particular about diet, and advocates "fine food is not greasy, fine food is not greasy", "fine" and "fine". Carefully cut the fish and meat, and repeatedly use the word "never tired" to show attention.
Pay attention to food hygiene
In terms of food hygiene, Confucius also has "eight don't eat", that is, "eating buttons erodes, fish are hungry and meat is ruined, there is no food, the color is not good, and there is no food." Smelly, do not eat. No food, no food. From time to time, there is no food. Don't eat it if it's not cut properly. No sauce, no food. Wine market security, do not eat. "The superficial meaning is only the requirement of food quality, and the deeper meaning is that Confucius lamented the collapse of rites and pursued a more ideal social order.
There is no limit to wine, and it is not chaotic.
Confucius is a drinker, who can drink a lot, but he can control himself and drink in moderation. As we all know, drinking less is beneficial and drinking more is harmful, which is proved by ancient and modern medicine and a large number of facts.
Eat silently, lie silent.
Confucius not only paid great attention to diet, but also paid attention to food etiquette. For example, "eat without talking, sleep without talking" is a good dietary hygiene habit, because every time you swallow food, your breathing will temporarily stop.
If you talk and laugh while eating, then breathing and swallowing food must be carried out at the same time. It is easy for food to enter the trachea or nasal cavity by mistake, so there will be choking cough, sneezing, tears and so on. If things like fishbones, broken bones and beans are caught in the trachea by mistake, the consequences will be even worse.
