As far as health preservation is concerned, leisure is not a passive rest, but a positive enterprising. Leisure is a gas station on the road of life, which can bring vitality to life; Leisure can rest, free and sublimate the tired body and mind who are busy chasing things outside in the dust. Leisure is beneficial to physical and mental health, and it is particularly necessary to maintain a leisurely lifestyle and mood for the elderly and infirm after retirement.
Gao Lian, a great scholar and health care scientist in Ming Dynasty, put forward the meaning of leisure. In his book Eight Chapters of Respect for Life, he said: (translated into vernacular) There is no anxiety in the heart, no overwork in the body, avoiding the name of the secular and conforming to current events, which is what the world calls "leisure". However, leisure does not mean walking around idly, nor does it mean gambling with dice. Leisure and self-cultivation, in order to make people feel comfortable, make people feel happy and live longer, this is the real "leisure". I love leisure, and I have always liked the ancient times. I have studied ancient knowledge and Yao Shun's admonition ... Sometimes I have printed posts under pine windows and painted in my study. At this time, the incense fills the air in front of the window, and the shadow shakes between the railings. Even on an empty stomach, I will be so happy that I forget the hunger and thirst all day. The study is pure and clean, and the dirty air and dirt on the earth are washed away at once. What can be more pleasant than being simple and ambitious? !
It can be said that learning real leisure is a gift of life; Learning leisure is luck in the journey of life; Learning leisure can free people from the pressure of fame and fortune, and make people have leisure to do interesting and beneficial things they like and enjoy the truth of life. Imagine, if you don't have a leisurely mood, how can you have the heart to listen to music, practice qigong, practice calligraphy, fish and grow flowers? Therefore, learning and leisure is most conducive to physical and mental relaxation and physical and mental health.
