Taoist people believe that after a certain amount of cultivation, people can return to their roots and reach the realm of immortality. /Kloc-When he was 0/9 years old, Qiu Chuji abandoned his family to seek Taoism and went to Xiayan Cave in Kunlun Mountain to practice alone. A year later, he studied with Wang Zhongyang, the founder of Quanzhen, and lived in seclusion in Bian Xi, southwest of Baoji, and Longmen Mountain in Longzhou 13. After his achievement, he became famous. Among the seven disciples of Wang Zhongyang, the founder of Quanzhen School, Qiu Chuji had the greatest influence.
Qiu Chuji is not only a Taoist priest, but also a health care scientist. His main works include Da Dan Zhi Zhi and On Health Information. 12 19, Yuan Taizu Genghis Khan ordered Liu Zhonglu, a trusted minister, to hire Qiu Chuji. The following year, he took 18 disciples to the north, which lasted for 4 years and met Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan asked about the way to live a long life, but told him to have no distractions, no desires and no desires, and talked about the health preservation technique of "respecting heaven and loving the country, being kind and self-cultivation", which was quite appreciated by Genghis Khan and was named "immortal".
Qiu Chuji has a lot of experience in keeping in good health. His theory of health preservation takes abstinence and four seasons as the gist, and holds that physiological and pathological changes and the occurrence of diseases are influenced by natural environment, seasonal climate and other factors. To adapt to the changes in the natural environment, we must coordinate with the outside world in life style, thought and action, physical exercise and so on, so as to achieve the balance between the internal and external environment and play a role in keeping fit and prolonging life. He stressed the need to master the principle of "regulating the four seasons, preserving health and treating diseases", and expounded the four seasons' recuperation, mental recuperation and diet recuperation.
As far as the recuperation of the four seasons is concerned, for example, in spring, "the sun rises in spring ... the weather is cold and warm, so you can't go to cotton-padded clothes", while in summer, you can't enjoy the cool by living under the eaves, passing through corridors, alleys and broken windows; Autumn "autumn is very dry ... no cold drinks and wet underwear"; In winter, "live in a secret room, … don't run into the cold wind".
In addition, he also has some research on the health care of the elderly, and thinks that "people are old and have more chronic diseases"; "When a person is 60 years old, his heart is weak, he can't remember too many words and his eyes are too dim." The elderly should "learn Yin and Yang, and learn several tricks", "avoid the wind like an arrow, avoid color like chaos, add and subtract clothes, and eat less after meals (3 pm to 5 pm)".
