Now, let Shang Xiao introduce some people who were particularly good at keeping in good health in ancient times ~ ~ Su Dongpo-the moral cultivation of edifying. In most people's impression, Su Shi is a generalist. In addition to remarkable achievements in the fields of poetry and calligraphy, he has also made outstanding achievements in other fields. For example, food, Dongpo meat or classic food.
In addition, he has also done a lot of research on TCM health care, and created many health care articles and calligraphy, among which On Health Care is one of them. China wrote: "The husband may take medicine to find sweat, or he may be lucky. But the sense of shame is an episode, and the sense of loss is a sense of displacement ... "This means that taking medicine and sweating sometimes can't achieve the effect, but guilt will make people sweat a lot. If you don't eat breakfast, you will be hungry. However, in the Spring and Autumn Period, due to bereavement, Ceng Zi did not feel hungry after seven days without eating. From this perspective, the human spirit dominates the body, just as the monarch dominates the country.
Then, he went on to say, "People often say that anger is not aggressive enough, and sadness does no harm to the body, but is light and generous ..." This means that people often don't know that anger and sadness will harm the body. In fact, excessive anger will damage the healthy qi of the human body, and excessive thinking will consume people's spirit and even hurt the liver and spleen. Therefore, if a person wants to be healthy and stay away from illness, he must first cultivate his own morality and nature, so that his mind and spirit will be calm and will not be troubled by love, hate, sadness and anger.
The goal of health and longevity can only be achieved if a person is indifferent, quiet, childlike, and has little desire and is not dragged down by fame and fortune. (2) In addition to cultivation, he actually has a habit of keeping in good health, that is, combing his hair. Feather worm saw the moon that fought with me, and also awakened Xu's cold bones and muscles. Wind and dew entered the roots of the frost. In the bright moonlight, in the empty pavilion, his long hair was scattered. He often combs it. At first, it was just a routine hair beauty and health care project, but he called it picturesque.
Lu You, as a great writer in the Song Dynasty, also has his own health care research. Lu Youshiyang (1) foot bath is a popular health preserving method. In fact, people have believed this for thousands of years. Lu You is also one of the representatives. The old man is no longer a farmer. He hasn't forgotten to count chickens and dolphins. Washing feet and sleeping too fast, the young sun gradually washed away the soup. This poem is from Nanbo Manuscript.
It can be seen that Lu You often washes his feet with hot water before going to bed. Foot massage can promote the blood circulation of all related organs, accelerate the blood circulation of the whole body, and play a role in strengthening the body and prolonging life. Besides soaking feet, Lu You also likes to eat and raise. His diet concept is very light, especially porridge. He thinks that a rich diet will increase the burden on the stomach, so it is best to eat rough tea and light rice. Porridge is a kind of liquid food, which is delicious, fragrant and glutinous, rich in nutrition and easy to be digested and absorbed by human body. If you add corresponding foods or foods to porridge, such as plums, coix seed, peanuts, mutton, American ginseng, carrots, etc. Porridge can prevent and cure diseases and prolong life. Regarding health care, it can be roughly divided into two points: First, nourishing the heart.
According to statistics, the medicated porridge included in Compendium of Materia Medica can be divided into nearly 17 categories, such as invigorating qi, enriching blood, invigorating stomach, clearing heat and relieving exterior syndrome. For example, many people have eaten glutinous rice porridge, sweet potato porridge, rice porridge, millet porridge and so on. In his view, they all have the function of regulating and maintaining the body. He once said: "The first thing in the world to supplement human beings is porridge. He thinks Mimi and Millie urinate to relieve polydipsia and strengthen the stomach. Treating diarrhea and vomiting caused by deficiency and cold of spleen and stomach with glutinous rice and millet. For example, in hot summer, he suggested that "big bowl of porridge" is the best diet in summer. Such as mung beans, lotus seeds, lotus leaves, reed roots, lentils and so on. You can add rice to cook porridge and eat it after cooling, which can strengthen the stomach and relieve summer heat. In addition, Li Shizhen specially encourages the elderly to eat porridge. He believes that the elderly have more teeth damage and weak spleen and stomach function, and porridge is the best way to nourish. " Eat a big bowl of porridge on an empty stomach and an empty stomach every day. You can eat at the same time.
I can't do it very well. It's soft and greasy. It is compatible with your stomach and is the best diet formula. "In addition, people think that the best raw material for porridge is polished rice, because polished rice is sweet and smooth, and it is a good medicine for strengthening the spleen and stomach and strengthening the body. Compared with Su Shi's cultivation, Ouyang Xiu also has a unique research on the cultivation of mind and nature. Ouyang Xiu-"Five Friends" Keeping in Good Health Before Ouyang Xiu became a literary leader, he felt depressed from time to time. Over time, he became depressed and suffered from "anxiety". He sought treatment in many ways, but he did not get better. He is in great pain and there is no other way.
In order to alleviate his anxiety, he cultivated five friends of "Qinqi Calligraphy and Painting". Once he devotes himself wholeheartedly to his role, he will feel relaxed and unconsciously recover from his illness. He wrote in the preface to seeing Yang off: "In order to cure a disease, it often leads to deep worries, and there is no way to cure it. Let's retire and learn the piano again. In order to enjoy it for a long time, I don't know the disease inside. " Therefore, he often urges people to keep "five friends" as companions to prevent diseases and keep healthy.
