He is Yuan Mu, a scholar, poet and essayist.
Yuan Mu was born in 17 16, and died in 1798. He lived for 82 years.
It is said that when Yuan Mei was 70 years old, he climbed Huangshan Mountain with a friend who was 20 years younger than him. As a result, he reached the top first. When Yuan Mei was nearly eighty years old, he still kept his expression, wit, agility, fluent writing style and high quality of life. At that time, there were very few people who lived long and were good at keeping in good health. How did he know he was eighty years old in more than eighty years?
Let's explore together.
? Love reading and use your head hard.
17 16, Yuan Mei was born in Qiantang, a declining family. The family is poor, and the family relies on her mother as an actress to make a living.
Thankfully, Yuan Mu loves studying very much. Reading is his greatest hobby. In order to read books, I often have the cheek to borrow them everywhere, being ridiculed and wronged.
In the years of obscurity, he developed the habit of loving reading and writing all his life through day and night efforts.
After retiring from the countryside, he studied and wrote nonstop and achieved fruitful results for decades. His works, such as Poem with Garden, Enough with Garden, Collected Works of Kokura Mountain Residence, which spread all over the world, were mostly completed in the garden with Kokura Mountain as its companion. "For example, there are still unfinished silkworms. Why not dump them and let the world know?" Poetry in his later years is full of fun.
Using his brain frequently makes his brain cells very active, and his thinking is still very agile when he enters old age.
The more the brain is used, the more flexible it is, and what height it can reach depends on the degree of exploration and utilization.
Only by diligent use of our brain can we further develop its potential and make our thinking more active.
? I have a wide range of interests and a good life.
Besides mental work, Yuan Mu also pays attention to cultivating his other hobbies.
He likes gardening. Among many flowers, orchids are his favorite. He once wrote in "Occasionally": "Orchids are smoked for three days, and they feel light."
Yuan Mu has a soft spot for orchids. The cultivation and appreciation of flowers have cultivated his temperament and endowed him with a firm and noble personality charm like orchids.
A wide range of hobbies make people open-minded and happy, and help people maintain their vitality.
Love sports and be healthy.
Yuan Mei likes sports, especially hiking.
He traveled all over the country's famous mountains and rivers all his life, leaving many excellent works, such as Huangshan Mountain, Lushan Mountain and Youxian Dufeng.
Hiking makes him healthy and happy. He wrote in his poem: "I am sixty-four years old and still strong this spring. It's never too high to go up the mountain, and it's never too long to stay overnight. Sometimes it is easy to escape, and jumping off a building is like being born. "
In addition to frequent hiking activities, he insisted on getting up every morning, walking and boxing in the mountains, and climbing mountains at night to watch the stars and enjoy the moon. Keep on exercising, and let Yuan Mei keep full of energy.
Exercise is the most rewarding thing with the least investment.
Exercise a little every day, you will be healthier and have more motivation in life.
? Have a good attitude and never know how old you are.
Yuan Mei was positive and optimistic all his life, and wrote in the poem Nostalgia: "Let's play together and sleep everything. Sleep is samsara, without joy or annoyance. What is the real me? It is a kind of wealth here. Then the dragon bell will ring again and people will laugh. How many young people are buried in Beishan! "
The poet's pride, self-sufficiency, free and easy, optimism, beyond words, admirable.
At the age of 64, Yuan Mei contracted malaria. After his recovery, his energy is not as good as before. He masturbated and warned his old friend, "I know I will try my best. I can't be a fan." Another example is the fallen leaves sighing with the wind! Send a message to the elderly, it is appropriate to prevent cold and heat. "("Work after Illness ") fully embodies his pattern of calmly facing death.
Mentality determines everything.
Only when people have a good attitude can they have a good mood, a good life and a good life. With a good attitude, you will have happiness.
Yuan Mu's life, in the long river of time, may be very small, but trying his best to live a full and happy life is probably the secret of his longevity.
I also wish you and me, in the long river of time, reading more and exercising more, having a good attitude, loving what you love, being yourself, living freely and comfortably every day is the best way to keep fit.
