Among the famous and old Chinese medicine practitioners, most of them advocate and practice their own methods. In terms of psychological adjustment, most people advocate peace and nature, indifferent to tranquility, and take this as their own health preservation principle. Su Wen Yan Gu Naive said: "Nothing is indifferent, and the true qi follows, and the spirit is hidden inside, and it is safe." More than half of the famous old Chinese medicine practitioners recommend "meditation" as the specific method of "indifferent to nothingness and keeping the spirit inside", and about 1/3 of the famous old Chinese medicine practitioners take meditation and "thinking" as their spiritual cultivation methods. Sit-in is a cultivation method advocated by Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. It is generally believed that meditation can keep the spirit inside, regulate the mood and the whole body's qi and blood function, and promote the recovery of the disease. "Existentialism" is a method of using ideas and imagination to eliminate distractions in a quiet state. Both of them are simple and easy ways to regulate the qi and blood of the mind and the whole body through breathing and thinking.

Bad personality can easily lead to emotional changes, which will lead to the disorder of qi and blood function of human organs and endanger our health. However, there are fewer famous old Chinese medicine practitioners who advocate "anger control, forbearance and impetuousness". It can be seen that famous old Chinese medicine practitioners pay attention to the cultivation of character accomplishment and do not advocate the method of deliberate restraint. About half of the famous old Chinese medicine practitioners advise people to write calligraphy and travel, and most of them have this hobby.

It can be seen that in the health care concept of the above-mentioned famous old Chinese medicine practitioners, the most important thing is to recuperate the mind. From the viewpoint of indifference and nothingness in Su Wen's The Theory of Ancient Naivety, to the concept of keeping in good health advocated by Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, and to what modern people call "calmness", they all pay attention to the rational cultivation of people's desires and emotions.

Professor Yu Shenchu of Fujian believes that the eight words in Zhang Bin's book "Taking the Essentials of Health" in Song Dynasty: regulating interest rate, taking the initiative, slowing down the shape and abstinence should be regarded as the principles of health. In terms of nourishing the heart, he highly praised Zhuge Liang's motto, "You can't be clear without indifference, and you can't be far without quietness."

Chen Xingzhi, the chief physician in Shanghai, has a good understanding of the three elements, namely, the indifference of life, the sustenance of career and the pleasure of spirit. Of course, a healthy diet is not excluded, but for the elderly, these three elements are more important.

Professor Ling Yaoxing of Shanghai pointed out that sound brain function is the main foundation of health, so she attaches great importance to brain health. She believes that thinking more and strengthening the brain, the human brain also conforms to the law of use; Optimism and brain health, people should be ready to help others, forget their troubles and enjoy themselves; Eat healthily, pay attention to the diversification of food types, arrange food intake reasonably and drink plenty of water; Exercise strengthens the brain.

Professor Wan Shuyuan appreciates Zhuangzi's view of life and death, that is, "Give me shape, make me live, make me old and make me die." Looking at death from the point of view of rest means that you are not afraid of troubles and worries, and you are open-minded and naturally live long. Chen Zhicai, the chief physician in Shanghai, advocates "calm down and move your body". Anhui native Zhu Xiheng's health motto is "Quiet to nourish the heart, dynamic to cultivate the shape".

Professor Shang Zhijun of Anhui believes that if the "three links" can be maintained, people can live a long and healthy life. Heart-to-heart means feeling comfortable; Clearing the stomach means not being too full. It is believed that the elderly, in particular, should follow the old adage "Eat if you are hungry, and eat if you are not satisfied". Second, it is easy to pass. In addition to developing good defecation habits, we should eat more foods with high cellulose content. He also pointed out that paying attention to consolidating kidney qi and controlling sexual intercourse at ordinary times is also conducive to smooth defecation.

The above is the concept of health preservation advocated by an old Chinese doctor. Have you learned?
