In many ancient medical books in China, keeping in good health and harmony is a very important topic. Historically, people have tried to combine medicine with harmony, such as alchemy, which is the product of people's blind pursuit of longevity.
Common saying
Of course, for ordinary people, alchemy is the most extravagant art of longevity. Even if there are enough conditions to support their own alchemy, they may not live long. For example, Jiajing, a famous alchemist in the Ming Dynasty, lived only 60 years, but people still believe that there must be a long life.
There is an old saying in ancient times: people live to be 100 years old after 62 hurdles, with 73.84 hurdles. So in ancient times, the average life expectancy was relatively low compared with now. The ancients called sixty years old sixty years old and seventy years old seventy years old.
long-lived
In ancient times, people lived to 60 years old, which was a relatively normal life span. There are relatively few people who live to 70 years old, but there is no standard for how long they live. Everyone wants to live a long life.
Therefore, ancient people were full of expectations for their lives after passing the 60-year-old mark. After observing and summarizing from generation to generation, they think that there are still two hurdles after 60 years old, namely, 73 years old and 84 years old. If they can pass through it smoothly, they can continue to live happily for the rest of their lives until they live to be 100 years old.
Ancient people
In fact, we have also said similar things in previous programs. For example, there is a saying, "Don't say it at 36, don't say it at 73 and don't say it at 84". It is also mentioned that the 73rd and 84th birthdays should be spent quietly as usual.
It can be seen that the ancients were really secretive about seventy-three and eighty-four It can be said that the age of seventy-three and eighty-four is a psychological shadow for the ancients, and the chief culprit of this shadow is Confucius and Mencius, two ancient sages.
Ancient people
For thousands of years, the ancients of our country advocated Confucius and Mencius and regarded Confucius and Mencius as eternal teachers. Confucius and Mencius were not only masters of learning and personality, but also envied by the ancients. Confucius lived to be 73 years old and Mencius lived to be 84 years old, which is almost the ceiling of the life span of his contemporaries.
Therefore, ordinary people regard seventy-three and eighty-four as two hurdles in life, because most people feel that they are definitely not as good as Confucius and Mencius, or even can't pass seventy-three and eighty-four. If anyone can cross these two years, the desire to live to be 100 years old will be within reach.
Confucius
But how do we overcome these two obstacles? As an old saying goes, when you have white hair on your head, you can't worry about everything, always smile, and you will be safe for a hundred years. In addition to a healthy diet and moderate exercise, a good attitude is actually the secret of longevity. If a person lives happily, regardless of the length of his life, he will feel satisfied, but if he lives in pain and sorrow, even if he is over 100 years old, it will only be like a year, which is meaningless.
Therefore, people must be happy and cheerful if they want to cross the two hurdles over 60 years old. Happiness is the real secret to cross these two hurdles.
The above is related to which year you are 60 and which year you are 70. It's about Confucius' sharing. After reading the names of people aged 60 to 70, I hope this will help everyone!
