Zhuangzi, whose real name is Zhou, whose real name is Zi Xiu, was later called "South China Reality". He was a famous thinker, philosopher and writer in ancient China, a representative of Taoist school, the successor and developer of Laozi's philosophical thought, and the founder of Zhuangzi school in pre-Qin period. His theory covered all aspects of social life at that time, but the fundamental spirit still converted to Laozi's philosophy, so later generations called him and Laozi "Laozi".

Zhuangzi's main idea is "Heaven does nothing", and he advocates conforming to "Heaven" and giving up all "excesses". In Zhuangzi? In the book "The Lord of Health Preservation", he put this idea through the whole text and pointed out the essentials of health preservation for us.

Zhuangzi pointed out that the most important thing for health preservation is to "know the classics by reason", that is, to adhere to the imaginary way in things and conform to the changes and development of nature. Deliberately pursuing immortality is the destruction of life. He used the famous allusion of "an expert in solving cattle" to illustrate that life and life should be "based on nature" and "based on heaven", and only by taking the "China's empty space" can they be "comfortable", thus avoiding the entanglement of right and wrong and contradictions. In addition, Zhuangzi also expressed his attitude towards life, which is resigned to nature and "keeping pace with the times".

Zhuangzi, so to speak? The Lord of keeping in good health not only embodies Zhuangzi's philosophy of life, but also embodies Zhuangzi's wisdom of keeping in good health. In today's era of rapid development, the taste is worth savoring.

"Sit and forget" to cultivate one's health and heart

"Forget", the language "Zhuangzi? The Master was written by Zhuangzi through Yan Hui. The posture of "sitting" and the state of "forgetting myself" should be a real life state proved by body and mind, not a narcissism or anesthesia. He who sits and forgets gets what he wants and forgets what he wants. Walking in the street, you can't see its movements, "your heart doesn't move", so you "lose your shape". "

Here, "sitting" should be a way from form to substance, just like a raft crossing a river. When you reach the other shore, you won't miss it, and "forgetting" is a state of mind that goes beyond the rules of the secular real world without hindrance. Therefore, the real "forgetting" is complete silence.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, meditation and nourishing the heart can dredge the meridians of the human body, make the qi and blood smooth, balance the yin and yang, and fill the true qi. Therefore, it is said that "the quiet can nourish the heart", because the heart is the first of the five internal organs, and the heart governs the blood and the mind. Those with normal heart and no disease have healthy internal organs. If the heart is weak, the blood will fail, which will lead to systemic diseases.

Therefore, what can be achieved by the method of "sitting and forgetting" is a kind of static state of human beings. In this special static state, human beings can restore their physiological functions, achieve the best balance of physical and mental health, and even develop their potential. There are also many explanations and applications in modern psychology and modern therapeutics.

Zhuangzi's three methods lead to longevity.

Zhuangzi died at the age of 83, when the average life expectancy was only in his thirties. This is really a miracle of longevity. After careful study, the following three methods have played an important role in longevity:

One day, I want nothing. Zhuangzi believes that desire is endless and cannot be vertical. Knowing his honor, keeping his shame, keeping his life safe and pursuing his ambition will lead to physical and mental health and a peaceful life.

Second, meditation. Zhuangzi believes that if a person can't stop thinking all day, he will get sick. Only when you are calm, steady and steady, and have strong self-control ability, can you be free from external interference and keep a calm mind and healthy body.

The third is detachment. Zhuangzi's attitude towards life is detached, and everything goes with the flow. When his wife died, Keiko went to offer her condolences. Zhuangzi didn't cry, but knocked on the clay pot and sang beside his wife's body. In the face of Keiko's accusation, Zhuangzi frankly believes that people are born of nature, and the gas gathers and dies. Now that people's bodies are dead, they will return to nature, which is undoubtedly not a pleasure. Although this theory is not acceptable to everyone, Zhuangzi's open-minded attitude towards life is worth promoting.

From Zhuangzi's remarks, we can see that if we want to live a long life, we must be emotionally stable, carefree, comfortable, and follow the laws of nature. As the saying goes, "people's health should be the same. Swimming in an open environment follows the principles of nature."
