Until today, many parents still attach great importance to knowledge learning in their children's education, and do not put physical exercise in the corresponding position.
Zeng Guofan, who is also a parent, did not do so, which also reflected his cleverness from one side.
Zeng Guofan wrote a letter to his younger brothers, specifically proposing the education for the younger generation, emphasizing health preservation and learning together, and giving specific measures, namely, six things for health preservation and four things for learning.
Learning four things is about how to read new books, how to review old books, how to practice Chinese characters and how to write compositions. This is Zeng Guofan's summary of his life experience.
Six things to keep healthy are the experiences he got from the old people. After repeated practice, there is no disadvantage. I hope all the children at home will follow suit. These six things are:
One is to walk a thousand steps after a meal. Needless to say, our old man also told us that we should walk a hundred paces after dinner and live to be ninety-nine. This is handed down from generation to generation.
The second is to sleep and wash feet. This is also a good habit. We all know that people get old first, and their feet are at the end of human circulation. Washing feet before going to bed is conducive to promoting blood circulation and promoting sleep.
Third, there is no gas in the chest. Just don't pretend to be angry. Emotion has a great influence on health. There is a phrase "Don't get angry" that is widely circulated. One sentence is "I am not angry when others are angry, and no one can replace me when I am sick."
Fourth, sit still frequently. That is, regular meditation. It is also a good way to nourish the heart and preserve health. Many people sit still for a while before going to bed in the morning and at night.
Fifth, there is a habit of frequent shooting. Is to keep exercising. We don't need to practice shooting now, we can keep running and playing ball.
Sixth, eat a bowl of rice at dawn, and don't touch the order.
This is a bit confusing. Nowadays, many people keep healthy by eating more vegetables and less carbohydrates such as rice and flour.
Maybe it's the traditional wisdom of China? Huangdi Neijing said: Five grains are the supplement, five fruits are the help, five animals are the benefit, and five dishes are the supplement.
Grains rank first, because they are all seeds of plants, which contain exuberant vitality and are the most nourishing to the body. Nowadays, the vegetables and fruits that many people like to eat have fallen behind.
Zeng Guofan's six ways of keeping in good health, such as diet, sleep, exercise and spiritual cultivation, can be said to cover all aspects of keeping in good health, which is of reference significance to us now, both adults and children.
Zeng Guofan said that keeping in good health and learning go hand in hand, so Zhiqiang is not weak, which is a symbol of family rejuvenation.
We want our children to succeed, so we might as well do physical exercise and maintenance while studying.
