Why virtue is the "root of health"
In the history of our country, many great thinkers put the cultivation of virtue in the important position of health preservation, and even regarded it as the "foundation of health preservation"

Confucius put forward some viewpoints, such as "moral cultivation", "virtue leads to longevity", "benevolence leads to longevity" and "benevolence leads to cultivation". Life span has two meanings: first, it refers to the actual life span of people; The second is "to die without dying, to live a long life". In other words, some people's actual life span may not be very long, but their achievements and wisdom have spread far, and their life span can be said to exceed that of ordinary people.

Laozi advocates "less selfish thoughts and greed" and believes that "the disaster is greater than dissatisfaction, and the blame is greater than desire". In other words, a person who is insatiable for material things will inevitably have long dreams and fantasies, and even harm the interests of others and public and private interests, and will be distracted all day long because of the heavy psychological burden, which will damage his health.

Mencius put forward the positive health-preserving concept of "loving life but not valuing life", emphasizing benevolence and righteousness over life, and thought that if necessary, we should "sacrifice life for righteousness".

Health experts of all ages have attached great importance to the value of moral health care. In daily life, cultivate your virtues of kindness, valuing righteousness over profit, and being charitable. To be a truly respected person is bound to live a long life.
