Wu Zetian's first regimen:
Meditation brings inner peace.
According to records, on May 26th, 23rd year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong wrote to Li Shimin, ordering Wu Cairen to become a monk and become a wild temple. In March of the 5th year of Yonghui, Tang Gaozong and Wu Cairen returned to the palace with a letter. On this basis, Wu Zetian worked as a nun in Ganye Temple for five years. During these five years, she meditated all day, cultivated herself and learned the "sitting method" of Buddhist Qigong, which became one of the important reasons for her longevity.
Nowadays, white-collar girls in some cities spontaneously organize a day of "meditation" in local temples. On the one hand, you can relieve your mental stress, on the other hand, you can make friends in "meditation" activities. Secretary-General Wang Chengsheng of the Health Rehabilitation Professional Committee of Nanjing Natural Medical Association has taught many white-collar workers and Zen students. Secretary-General Wang said that the process of "meditation" is actually a natural therapy to calm the nerves. This method has two main functions in medical practice: one is to enhance the body's resistance, prevent diseases and protect health; The second is to enhance disease resistance and eliminate diseases. Chinese medicine believes that "quietness is hidden deep, and urgency is absolutely". If a person's mind keeps quiet, he will suffer from fewer diseases and live a long and healthy life. Even if you are sick, it is easy to treat and recover. This is because God collects it. On the contrary, irritability is easy to get sick, and illness is not easy to cure.
Wu Zetian's second regimen:
Emotion, health and mind
Wu Zetian abandoned her parents and called herself the emperor. At that time, someone slandered her and suggested severe punishment, but Wu Zetian laughed it off and did not pursue it. According to the Secret History of Wu Zetian, Luo, a talented scholar in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a famous history book and scolded Wu Zetian to pieces. Wu Zetian read this short article, which was quite critical, and said, "The Prime Minister won or lost in this person!" Later, after the death of King Robin, Wu Zetian asked someone to search for his works and found ten volumes, which were widely circulated in the world. Shangguan Waner is the granddaughter of Shangguan Yi, the originator of Li Tang's five-character poem "Shangguan Style". /kloc-at the age of 0/4, she was executed for taking part in the rebellion adventure. Wu Zetian made an exception and accepted her as a confidential secretary because of her talent. Through her own practical actions and personality charm, she finally eliminated Shangguan Waner's jealousy and misunderstanding of herself and made her her her confidant! Wu Zetian has both a ruthless side and a generous side. Instead of executing her enemies, she used them again. This open mind is not only an upper-level strategy to tolerate others, but also a superb realm of self-cultivation!
Wu Zetian's third way of keeping in good health;
Calligraphy is like a health guide.
Tang Yulin, the handwriting of Wu Zetian, is the earliest female calligraphy inscription in China. Teacher Ni Wendong, a famous modern calligrapher, commented on Wu Tao's calligraphy and said, "Look at the traces of her calligraphy. She has a solid foundation and is brave as a gentleman. She is really a heroine among women. " This monument is still preserved in the Henan Provincial Museum.
Ancient and modern calligraphers come forth in large numbers, such as Yan, Liu and the mainland. , are all famous. Three of them are ancient and rare. Yan Zhenqing lived to be 76 years old, Liu Gongquan lived to be 87 and 84 years old, Ming calligrapher lived to be 89 years old, Qing calligrapher Liang lived to be 92 years old, modern calligrapher Sun Mofo lived to be 100 years old, Shu Tong lived to be 93 years old and100 years old, and lived to be 94 years old. Calligraphy embodies the unity of form and spirit. To practice calligraphy, you should have solid fingers, weak palms and flat wrists. The middle finger joint and the upper finger joint when writing
Many female friends like to make facial masks. In fact, Wu Zetian is a master of mask maintenance! Wu Zetian not only lived a long life, but even at the age of 80, she still maintained a youthful appearance and did not show her old age. Said she was "good at painting herself, although she didn't realize her decline." Wu Zetian has two famous beauty recipes: one is the beauty recipe of Leonurus japonicus, which was included in the Monument to the Sage Prince edited by Su Jing, and later included in the Monument to the Sage Prince by Wang Dao. Later, it was also included in medical books and renamed as "Xianyu Girl Powder". When Li Shizhen was in the Ming Dynasty, The Book Year of the New Tang Dynasty was included again. Motherwort is a good medicine for gynecology, which can be taken orally or used externally. External application to the face has the effect of treating dull complexion and eliminating facial spots and wrinkles. Regular use can make the skin moist and shiny. Wang Dao said in his notes: At first, washing your face with this medicine will make your hands smooth and your face shiny. Later, you will gradually become rosy. If used for many years, women in their forties and fifties look as young as women in their fifties. Wu Zetian can still maintain a beautiful face at the age of 80, which seems to be related to her frequent use of this beauty secret recipe. Another beauty prescription was prescribed by Zhang Wenzhong, a physician, to Wu Zetian, called secret tissue paper, which was included in Wang Daoxin's revised Materia Medica.
