Su Dongpo also attaches great importance to the hygiene of food, clothing, housing and transportation, advocates quantitative diet and opposes overeating. "If you are a little full, you don't have to do everything." "Feed porridge, feed rice, feed soup cakes, and there will be room in your stomach." Su Shi also likes to take a walk after dinner and change clothes at any time according to climate change. He also advocated eating more vegetables and less meat. He once told his friends that he ate and drank in the morning and evening, but only ate one piece of meat at a time. In this way, he can live and work in peace and contentment, nourish happiness, broaden his stomach and nourish his qi, and save money. These are all his experiences, and they are also his ways to cherish happiness and prolong life. In Su Dongpo's works, there are many poems about medicine. He once built a "Xi Xuan" here and wrote: "If there is nothing to sit still, one day is like two days. If you live 70 years old, it is 140 years old. " He once wrote a poem "To the Ophthalmologist Wang Ruo", describing his witnessing the operation of removing lily. Needle-needle obstacle removal is a valuable legacy of traditional Chinese medicine. It still brings light and joy to many patients. Su Dongpo vividly described Dr. Wang Yanruo's skill of removing obstacles with his vivid pen, such as "carrying a needle like a catty, removing it like tearing down a house" This poem is said to have been improvised by Su Dongpo after seeing the superb medical skills of Dr. Wang. "Colored glass is stored in a dense way, so it is light and brittle. During this period, my son often came and followed the stone. Laughter takes its toll, and the viewer shrinks his neck.
"What a vivid and detailed description! When Su Dongpo was the magistrate of Hangzhou, he devoted himself to health. He dredged lakes to build dikes, planted trees and improved environmental sanitation, leaving behind the "Sugong Dike" for future generations and becoming a scenic spot in Hangzhou. Plague occurred from time to time at that time. In order to practice medicine and save people from the suffering of diseases, Su Shi took out 520 yuan from his personal salary and built a sick workshop called Anle in the city, which treated nearly 100 patients in three years. His achievement was affirmed by the Northern Song Dynasty court, and he also sent monks to preside over the hospital. However, Su Dongpo's life is also bumpy. Although he was an official for a long time, he was twice demoted and exiled to the army for writing poems that offended the court. Faced with the impact of the vicious waves of life, he not only did not fall into pain and hesitation, but became stronger. In adversity, he didn't forget his work. He cultivated the land and picked wild vegetables by himself, which was very beneficial to his health. When he was demoted to Yazhou (now Hainan Island), he said optimistically: "I don't hate dying in the south, I want to swim to the end of my life." "When he lived in Huangzhou, the local plague was prevalent. I once got a secret recipe of "holiness" from Chaojun Valley in Meishan. When he was taught by the Bird's Nest, he made him swear by the river that he would never pass it on to others. However, Su Shi put people's livelihood first and forgot to swear first, giving it to the people and saving many people. Later, he also passed this recipe on to Pang Anshi, a famous doctor with whom he had a close relationship. "Dongpo Miscellaneous Notes" contains: Pang An is good at medicine and piano, talking with people and writing on paper before answering. Dongpo smiled and said, "You and I are different people. I use my hand as my mouth and your eyes as my ears. What if we are not different people? " Pang is good at Treatise on Febrile Diseases. At the end of his book Treatise on Febrile Diseases, he attached a book with Su Shi on it, and introduced the compilation gist of these six volumes in detail. A writer's mouth is his hand, and a doctor's eyes are his ears. It is a much-told story in Wen Yuan Medical Forest to write letters and learn medical poems.
Su Shi, who built a room in Dongpo, is known as the "Dongpo layman". He studied Chinese medicine seriously and took pleasure in collecting and making medicines. Atractylodes lancea, a traditional Chinese medicine, enters the spleen and stomach meridian, and has the functions of strengthening the spleen, eliminating dampness, removing filth and improving eyesight. The ancients believed that long-term use could prolong life. When Su Shi was in Huangzhou, he saw that people smoked mosquitoes with Atractylodes lancea, and said with regret, "This longevity medicine is so good that smoking mosquitoes is worthless. This can also be a great relief. " He also used Fructus Aurantii as a hangover relieving soup as a common drink. There is also a method of making poria powder in Dongpo Miscellaneous Notes: "It is better to smell it wet with honey and steam it and eat it." Poria cocos is sweet, light and flat, and has the functions of strengthening the spleen, regulating the stomach and calming the nerves. Steamed Poria cocos powder is a good recipe for dietotherapy in traditional Chinese medicine. Qigong is a treasure of ancient medicine in China, which has attracted more and more attention and interest from the world. Su Dongpo is also good at this. In the second year of Xining (1069), he studied Qigong with Taoist Li. Get up at dawn, face east and south, and sit on a clothed plate. Knock on your teeth 36 times first, then inhale and exhale, and then slowly come out when you are full. Rub the soles of your feet and the waist under your navel with your hands, then touch your eyes, face, ears and neck until you get hot. Finally, press your nose five or seven times and comb your hair more than one hundred times.
He once commented on this achievement in Zhang Shang Daoan Health Preservation Law: "This method is very effective. I didn't feel it at first, but it has accumulated for more than 100 days and its effect is immeasurable. It is more effective than taking medicine 100 times. " After his younger brother Su Zhe suffered from lung disease, Su Shi told him, "An inch of land can cure him for life. Who will persuade him to plow yellow glutinous rice?" . There's nothing I can do to find the real medicine. "For Su Zhe, it is quite beneficial to follow his brother's instructions to keep healthy.
