Mencius' thought of health preservation Mencius' thought is very rich and colorful, and the common ones are "taking justice" and "valuing the people but neglecting the monarch". In fact, summing up Mencius' philosophical thoughts, we can find that he attaches great importance to adapting to nature and is very concerned about people's hearts. Indeed, Mencius' concept of health care also pays great attention to nourishing the heart, and the way to nourish the heart pays great attention to "few desires." For example, he once said that "nourishing the heart is not good at wanting less", which is worth learning.
Learn Mencius. At present, all the work of our China government is still centered on economic construction. To put it bluntly, it is centered on making money. Similarly, perhaps influenced by such a political system, people are very enthusiastic about the pursuit of material things. Of course, it is ok to pursue a better life, but people often encounter all kinds of pressures in the process of pursuing material wealth, and even ignore their own health in the process, which is very unworthy.
People pursue too many things and can't pursue them at once, which will bring pressure to their hearts and make them fidget. People living in such a psychological environment for a long time are likely to cause some mental distortions and even mental illness.
Mencius' thought of "few desires" is to ask us not to care too much about things like money and wealth. For example, although China people are getting richer now, there are still more people who are not yet rich; People who are not yet rich need not worry. They should pursue a better life slowly and step by step, and don't put too much pressure on themselves, which is beneficial to their physical and mental health. Physical and mental health is the foundation of happiness, and we can better realize a better life.
