The ancients called moral cultivation cultivation, also called moral cultivation. Since Yao Shun, people all over the world have associated virtue with longevity. Confucius first put forward the view that "benevolent people live long" and "virtuous people live long". Xunzi put forward that "where qi and blood are deficient, courtesy is the way to pass;" If you don't keep the ceremony, it will be chaotic. The appetite clothes live in the moving place, and the ceremony is known; If you don't obey the ceremony, you will get into trouble ... a gentleman can overcome selfish desires with justice. Confucius and Xun thought that Yao, Shun and Yu lived long because of their noble morality. Yao is the ideal king in the eyes of ancient people, and he regards the world as the public. Mencius put forward the specific content of moral cultivation: "wealth can't be lewd, poverty can't be moved, and power can't be bent." "I suggested that getting rid of selfishness, greed and contentment is often enough. When analyzing the secret of ancient centenarians' longevity, Neijing pointed out: "... so those who can live for a hundred years without losing exercise are not in danger because of their morality." "Sun Simiao put forward ... moral integrity, joy without praying for life, self-extension without survival, which is also the purpose of health preservation. Ming Lu's letters said, "The first thing to do is to improve morality and health." Ji Kang said: "There are five difficulties in health care: fame and fortune are hard to avoid; Emotion and anger are not two difficulties; It is three difficulties not to sound; Four difficulties are endless; Distraction is five difficulties. "

It is said in "Taishang Laojun's Health-keeping Skills and Health-keeping True Skills": "Those who are good at health-keeping must first get rid of six evils, and then they can save their lives for a hundred years. What is this? First, fame and fortune are thin, second, it is forbidden, third, wealth and goods are cheap, fourth, poor taste, fifth, awkward, and sixth, jealousy. " If the six evils are not eliminated and everything is entangled in the heart, can God be quiet? This shows the importance of moral cultivation. Good moral cultivation, that is, good at self-cultivation, with noble moral sentiments, can integrate the method of health preservation, know its principles, follow its course, and maintain physical and mental health. "High morality leads to long life", good moral cultivation, balance of body yin and yang, and safe and unified internal environment can lead to long life.
