This book was written by Tao Hongjing in the Southern Dynasties. Tao Ziming and Huayang lived in seclusion at night. He was born in 456 AD and died in 536 AD at the age of 8 1. Tao's "Good Prescription for Health Preservation" collected and sorted out the health preservation works of previous dynasties before the Southern Dynasties, and compiled it into "A Record of Toning Heaven and Longevity". According to the records in the book, his health preserving thought belongs to the Taoist system. On the one hand, he advocates leisure and no desire to nourish the soul, on the other hand, he advocates breathing to guide self-cultivation. In addition, he also has a lot to say about mood, room and diet.

The real person said: although you often take medicine, you can't live forever without knowing the art of nourishing nature. The way to cultivate temperament is to lie down if you don't want to eat enough, and sit for a long time all day, which is harmful to your life. People want to work hard, but they are too tired and too strong to win. When people have finished eating, it is also quick to hesitate to do something. Therefore, running water does not rot, and family members do not die because of their labor. So don't eat at night. It's best to walk in the atrium after dinner. Lie down when you are full, you will get sick and don't need to accumulate. If you eat a small amount, it's hard to get rid of it. Often, hungry, hungry. Therefore, those who cultivate their nature are hungry first and then thirsty. Fear that hunger is food, and there will be more food; If you are thirsty, you drink, and if you drink, you must end it. When you finish eating, you should do it. After eating, you can rub your stomach with powder for hundreds of times, which has many benefits.

-"Food Commandments"

(Note)

This original text is an important document about diet and health preservation, which is of great significance so far. Its main spirit is to ask people to eat moderately, such as "eating less", "not eating at night", "lying down" and "taking a walk after meals".

(original)

Liezi said: be diligent when you are young, be strong when you are not competitive, be long and poor, be old and have no desire, and work hard at leisure (1), which is also the way to keep fit. Liezi said: The news of the whole body's surplus and deficiency should be conveyed to all kinds of people, which is harmonious from beginning to end, the mind should be calm and disillusioned, and the way of dealing with the world is also ... Life is born with long and short, which is unnatural, all because of physical indiscretion, improper diet, excessive prostitution, disobedience of Yin and Yang, spiritual failure of soul, life failure and the emergence of all diseases, so life will not end.

Taishi Gong Sima Tan said: God is the foundation of life; Form, born also. God's great use will exhaust him, and his great work will kill him. It is not unheard of that God is aging before he is old and wants to live with heaven and earth. The reason why an old friend is a living god is that the people entrusted by God are also shaped. Divine separation leads to death (2), the dead can't be resurrected, and those who leave can't return, so saints are preferred.

(Remarks)

(1) Laziness and exhaustion: laziness means indifference and nothingness; Physical exertion is a small labor, not a big one. Small labor leads to blood circulation, while large labor leads to physical fatigue. (2) Death due to God's parting: Neijing said: "Being both a form and a god, he will die at the age of 100 all his life." Therefore, if God is separated, he will die. Re-emphasize that health care should not only cultivate the spirit, but also cultivate the body.

(Note) The original text of this paragraph focuses on the relationship between form and spirit, pointing out that the principle of health preservation is to have both form and spirit, which is in line with the thought of "fear of form and fear of spirit" advocated in Huangdi Neijing.

(Original) The immortal scripture says: My life is in my absence, and fools don't know that this way is the key to life, so all diseases and evils are wanton, and they don't know how to cherish it, so they are born in vanity. Rot like wood; When it meets the wind, it collapses, and the shore collapses first. If you can't take medicine today, but know how to love and be honest, you will live for 120 years.

(Note)

This original text shouted out the slogan "My life is in my absence", thus emphasizing that the length of my life mainly depends on my own efforts, which is of great positive significance.

That's it, I hope it can be adopted.
