"The surplus and contraction period is not only in the sky; The blessing that nourishes grace can last forever. " This is what Cao Cao said in the poem "Although the tortoise is longevity". He believes that the so-called "long live" is naturally unreliable, but it can certainly prolong life through correct maintenance. So, how does Cao Cao keep in good health? How did those ancient celebrities who lived long keep in good health? (Note: Celebrities often have money, power, leisure, status and resources. They can enjoy valuable medicinal materials and nourishing things that ordinary people can't enjoy. In addition, qigong health care is too mysterious for ordinary people to contact, so this article does not involve qigong and medicine and food health care. What is the degree of tooth pecking in Yuquan over the years? The former is saliva, the latter is knocking. The ancients thought that swallowing saliva could preserve health; It is also good for your health to knock your upper and lower teeth 27 or 36 times a day. According to Zhang Hua's "Natural History", "(Fuck) the method of nourishing nature, but also the solution of prescriptions and drugs, and lead people to learn prescriptions and drugs. Zuo Ci in Lujiang, Huatuo in Qiaoxian, Shi Gan in Ganling and the slips in Yangcheng have all been completed. You can spit pueraria lobata by a foot, but you have to drink less and drink more. " He also actively learned the art of keeping in good health from the warlocks, saying, "If you do it occasionally, you have to take an exam." . One of the most concrete methods is the "Yuquan Tooth Picking Method" taught by Huang, Governor of Dunhuang. Cao Cao wrote to Huang Huanglong for advice, and Huang Huanglong wrote back: "If you want to prolong your life, serve Yuquan in the imperial court." "You should eat Yuquan in the court and peck your teeth ..... before going to court, you should rinse your mouth and swallow, and peck your teeth 27 times." Whether Cao Cao did it or not, Zhao Yan can't know. He only lived for 65 years, not a long life. But this method should be effective and has been used for reference by many people in later generations. For example, Su Dongpo said that saliva "has an immeasurable effect, which is one hundred times more effective than taking medicine"; Wang Cai, a famous doctor in the Ming Dynasty, also pointed out: "Every morning, you peck your teeth and rinse your mouth, and spit all over your throat", which can make people energetic and bright. Qianlong, the longevity emperor of the Qing Dynasty, was over eighty years old. One of his health preserving methods was that "teeth are often knocked and body fluids are often swallowed". This is the regimen of Liang Wudi in the Southern Dynasties. If Qianlong (89 years old) is the longevity champion among emperors, then Liang Wudi (85 years old) is the runner-up. According to the history books, at the age of 80, he can still ride and shoot a bow and horse, and he is as good as Lian Po, Huang Zhong and other ancient veterans. The so-called reading is "concentration", and the earliest medical book Neijing says that "concentration is a health care solution". Studies have proved that diligent reading can promote "brain movement", a bit like "Qigong", deliver enough oxygen and nutrients, promote blood circulation, maintain systemic coordination, delay aging and prevent dementia. Liang Wudi's reading, he can't let go, "six arts are idle, chess is in one product, yin and yang are waiting, divination is decisive, and it is good", reading is not only more, but also fine. Lu You once said, "A scroll is a good doctor when you are ill" and "You forget your old age when you study", which you probably learned from Liang Wudi. Interestingly, Lu You also lived to be 85 years old, just like Liang Wudi. Liang Wudi has another trick, which is to become less attractive. There are so many beautiful wives in his harem, but he gave his life to become a monk four times. Does he really believe in Buddhism? Not necessarily. I'm afraid I'm "old-fashioned", and my goal is to live longer. It is said that he stopped having sex just after he was 50 years old, which is in line with the principle of "nourishing the heart and not being good at pleasure". Sex, that is, sex life. Sexual health preservation is a major feature of health preservation in ancient China. Chinese medicine believes that "things in the room can give birth to people and kill people." For example, fire and water, people who know how to use them can keep healthy; If it doesn't work, you can make a corpse. "This reminds me of the joke of the Ming and Qing literati:" On the 28th, a beautiful woman looks like a crisp body, and her waist is covered with swords. ".Liang Wudi's rule of the country may be silly, but keeping in good health is by no means a" fool ". Li Longji (79 years old) and Yang Yuhuan, who often listen to music and practice calligraphy, are not only the creators of pop music, but also music-obsessed listeners. "Old Tang Shu" said that Xuanzong was good at temperament and was good at writing eight points. Zhao Yan introduced the health care function of practicing calligraphy in previous articles, so I won't go into details here. Some experts predict that if there were no "An Shi Rebellion", Tang would probably live over 90 years old, and his life would not be fixed at 38 years old. Music health preservation is an important part of TCM health preservation. Music is used to adjust people's spiritual life and improve people's mental state, thus playing a role in preventing and treating some psychological and emotional diseases, which has appeared in the early written records of our country. During the Warring States Period, Gongsunni wrote in "Le Ji": "Everything starts from people's hearts and things are natural. There is a saying in Zhang Jingyue's The Analects of Confucius with Wings in the Ming Dynasty: "The joy of being happy comes from people's feelings. "Listening to music and practicing calligraphy often has a certain flavor of petty bourgeoisie life, but don't forget that it is also related to health and cannot be taken lightly! There are many cases in which celebrities who know humor informally live longer. He, who was basically contemporary with Li Longji, died at the age of 84. His typical personality is broad-minded and unrestrained, and he also calls himself "Siming Zeke". Another poet, Gu Kuang, lived to be 88 years old and was particularly fond of humor. Bai Juyi was once retired by him and even became famous in one fell swoop. " "Advocating leisure" contains: Gu Kuang's "Book of History", Bai Juyi should take the initiative. When I first arrived in Beijing, I paid tribute to Gu Kuang with poems. When Bai Gong saw the name, he said, "Rice is expensive, and it is easy to be born. It's a scroll. The first one says, "Boundless grass is on the plain, and it comes and goes with each season. Wildfire never completely devoured them, and they grew taller again in the spring breeze. " However, he praised: "If you say a word, you will live well. "Because of its reputation, it has gained great fame. In the Qing Dynasty, Ji Xiaolan was called "Ji Da Yan Bao" in TV series, a typical funny version of the characters. This gentleman died at the age of 865,438+0, which is considered a high life. Lao Ji has many bad habits in his life, such as smoking, eating meat, being a good girl and so on. He also drinks in a big bowl and seldom eats vegetables and rice noodles. However, Ji Xiaolan also has a correct concept of keeping in good health. Many stories related to keeping in good health are recorded in Yuewei Caotang Notes. He believes that health preservation can't copy the methods in books, but must be applied dialectically according to different people. Being an open-minded and optimistic person is also beneficial to health. " Things can be satisfied, people can be complacent, not seeking quality. "The word" peace of mind "in his later years can be described as a profound understanding of the wonderful use of health care. Traditional Chinese medicine theory holds that people who are informal must be broad-minded and peaceful, and those who are good at humor must be in a smooth and happy mood. If you have happiness and live happily, how can you not live long? (Source: Network)
