Benevolent people live long. This sentence comes from the Analects of Confucius, and similar expressions include "long life to the benevolent" and "long life to the great man", all of which mean that good people with moral cultivation live long? A few years. There is a passage in Wang Qishi's "Chinese and Foreign Health Care Essentials" in the Ming Dynasty, which can be used as an explanation of "benevolence leads to longevity": "Those who always observe the world, those who are gentle in spirit, those who are good in quality, those who live long, those who have a large amount, those who speak briefly, and those who live long. Gai Mo-si is also a benevolent, so the benevolent lives.

Benevolent people are kind to others, take pleasure in helping others, and are also cared for by others, and their mood is often in a state of relief and peace; It is difficult for people with malice to calm themselves down, and their emotions are often in doubt and fear, coupled with the tension with others. As The Analects of Confucius said, "an upright man is open and poised, villains are in the same boat. Because of the psychological effect on physiology, a good mood of liberation and peace is undoubtedly beneficial to health, while a bad mood of suspicion and fear is undoubtedly harmful to health.

As for the folk proverb "good people don't live long, bad people live for a thousand years", it is only an individual phenomenon; Because people are often profound about the phenomenon of going against their own wishes and common sense, coupled with the injustice of this phenomenon, there will be such angry words. There is an old saying: "You must cultivate yourself first." We often warn the society that the "morality" of being a man is included in the category of healthy life, and remind people who want to be healthy to pay attention to their moral cultivation.
