Health experts believe that there is indeed a relationship between occupation and life expectancy. Among them, calligraphers, painters and philosophers live longer. Of course, it is not absolute. The most important point here is that these occupations are conducive to balancing people's mentality. Balance means calmness, calmness means harmony, and harmony is conducive to the operation of life. When someone asked Zhu Qizhan what he had to do to preserve his health for such a long life, he said that he had no way to preserve his health, but only knew how to be a man and live with peace of mind. This is what he developed in his long-term practice of taking painting as his lifelong pursuit. Getting this mentality is the most important way to keep fit. Only in this way can we be childlike, happy-go-lucky, let nature take its course, indifferent to life and comfortable physically and mentally.
Life needs balance. Because Zhu Qizhan's life and painting are so closely linked, the other side of his life has been vented and displayed in time in his works. Anyone who knows him knows that Zhu Qizhan is a very gentle person with a feminine beauty. But his paintings are magnificent, majestic and bold, and there is a kind of masculinity. This is a harmonious and unified life movement.
It can be seen that although the choice of occupation is important for health preservation, it is more important to get a space to extend life from occupation.
