"Health Preservation Theory"

Ji Kangshi of the Jin Dynasty might have said: "Even immortals can learn it, and even those who do not die can exert their strength." Some say: A life of one hundred and twenty years is the same throughout history. If this continues, could it be that they are all demons and delusions? Both of these lose their true feelings. Please take a cursory look. Although immortals do not see it with their own eyes, the records in books and the accounts in ancient history, when compared, must be true. It seems that one has been specially exposed to an unusual energy, which is naturally innate and cannot be achieved through accumulated learning. As for proper guidance and nurturing, one should strive to the fullest extent of one's life. It's not uncommon for someone to live to be over a thousand years old or even a hundred years old. Since everyone in the world is not proficient, it is impossible to obtain it. Why do you say so? If one takes medicine to induce sweating, there may be no result. And in the episode of "Guilt", he was completely dispirited and wandering. Before having a meal at the end of the morning, one is eager to eat. Zengzi mourned for seven days without going hungry. Sitting at night makes one feel depressed and sleepy. If one is filled with deep worries, one will not sleep until dawn. With vigorous brushing of the temples and fine wine on the hair and face, only then can one achieve this. The rage of a warrior is strikingly remarkable, and hair transplantation aims for a crown. From this, it can be said that the spirit to the body is like a country having a ruler. The spirit is agitated within, while the form is lost externally. Just as a ruler is confused by his superiors, the state is in chaos by its subordinates. If a plant is planted in the Tang dynasty and only has the function of irrigating, although it will eventually rot at 燋, it will surely wither after irrigating. However, the benefits of irrigation cannot be falsely accused. It is often said in the world that a single anger is not enough to invade one's nature, and a single sorrow is not enough to harm one's body. To do it lightly and carelessly is like not recognizing the benefits of irrigation but hoping for a bountiful harvest on a drought-stricken seedling. Therefore, a gentleman knows the form and relies on the spirit to stand, and the spirit must have the form to survive. Understand the fragility of physiology and know the harm of a single principle to life. Therefore, cultivate one's nature to protect the spirit and calm the mind to nourish the entire body. Love and hate should not be confined to emotions; worries and joys should not be kept in mind. Indifferent and unmoved, yet the body's energy is peaceful. Breathing and exhaling, taking food to nourish the body; It means that the form and spirit are in harmony, and both the exterior and the interior are in harmony. If one mu of land is planted with ten hu, it is called good land. This is the general term for the whole world. I don't know where to grow it, but it can be over a hundred dendrobiums. The cultivation of fields is one thing, but the care of trees is different, so the success and failure are uncertain. It is said that in business there is no price ten times higher, and in agriculture there is no expectation of a hundred dendrobium. This is what remains constant and unchanging. Beans make one feel heavy, elms make one feel calm, alms dispel anger, and daylilies forget worries. It is well known to both the foolish and the wise. Spicy and pungent food harms the eyes. One should not raise fish or dolphins. This is a common understanding in the world. The head of a lice is black, while that of a musk deer is fragrant when it feeds on a cypress. The neck is perilous with galls, and the teeth turn yellow when they are located in Jin. From this perspective, all the qi one consumes and the nature of the steam that affects the body correspond accordingly. Not only should it be steamed to be heavy, but not light. Harm makes it dark, while inaction makes it bright. It turns yellow but does not make it hard. How could the fragrance be made fragrant but not long-lasting? Therefore, Shennong said: "The best medicine nourishes life, and traditional Chinese medicine nourishes nature. Those who truly understand the principles of life and nature should supplement and nourish to achieve smoothness." But the world does not notice; only the five grains are seen, and the sounds and colors are indulged. The eyes are confused with the dark yellow, and the ears are obsessed with lust. The taste decocts its Treasury, the fine wine 鬻 its stomach and intestines, the fragrance and aroma rot its marrow. Joy and anger go against one's righteous nature, overthinking depletes one's spirit, and sorrow and happiness undermine one's purity. With such a tiny body, those who attack will not be the same. When the body is exhausted, it is attacked from both inside and outside. If one's body is not made of wood or stone, how can it last long? If they consume it themselves, they will have an improper diet and thus suffer from all kinds of diseases. He is addicted to lust until he is exhausted. Caused by cold wind; Wounded by all poisons. When the middle Way fails in the face of all difficulties, the world knows to laugh and lament, which is called not being able to sustain life well. As for the loss of reason in oneself, it is lost in the minute, the accumulation of the minute leads to loss, the accumulation of loss leads to decline, from decline to whiteness, from whiteness to old age, from old age to the end, and it is as if there is no end to depression. Below the intermediate level of wisdom, it is called natural. Even if one is less aware and laments, hating the beginning of the encounter, one does not know to be cautious and take risks before they occur. It was because Duke Huan was on the verge of death that he was furious at Bian Que's foresight. The day when one feels pain is regarded as the beginning of illness. Harm starts from the smallest details, but is saved from the most serious ones. Therefore, there is the principle of governance without merit. By galloping within the realm of ordinary people, one can enjoy all kinds of longevity. Looking up or down, it's all the same. To prove oneself with much and to console oneself with mutual understanding is the principle of heaven and earth. That's all. Even if one has heard about cultivating one's nature, one would judge based on what one has seen that it is not the case. Secondly, although there is little doubt, it is almost impossible to know the cause. Secondly, taking medicine on one's own for half a year or a year, one works hard but fails to see the results. With a heart full of weariness, the middle way is abandoned again. Or add it to the fluff 浍 and drain it to the tail end; Those who wish to sit and see the manifestation of retribution. Some suppress their emotions and desires, abandon their wishes, and keep their hobbies before their eyes and ears, while their hopes lie decades later. Those who are afraid of losing both sides, hesitate within, fight with their hearts internally, are lured by external things, and engage in mutual credit and negotiation, and thus fail again. The most subtle things can be understood with reason but are hard to discern with the naked eye. For instance, in the chapter of hesitation, one can only become aware after seven years of life. Now, with a restless and competitive heart, I seek the realm of tranquility. Quick in thought but slow in action, looking near but responding to the distance. Therefore, we cannot end together. Those who are leisurely and unfulfilled do not seek, those who seek do not focus on their own work, those who rely on others do not achieve anything, and those who pursue others indulge themselves in small paths. If it is like this, then no one who desires it will ever succeed. Those who are good at health preservation are not like that. Clear, empty, calm and peaceful, with few selfish desires. Fame and position harm one's virtue, so one sometimes fails to act. It is a forced prohibition without desire. Recognizing the harmful nature of rich flavors, one thus disregards them. It is not that greed leads to suppression. External things tire the heart away, while the spirit remains pure and white alone. Be carefree and free from worries; be silent and free from thoughts. And keep it consistent and maintain harmony. Harmony and daily assistance are the same as great smoothness. Then steam it with Ganoderma lucidum, moisten it with sweet spring water, dry it with the rising sun, and smooth it with the five strings. Without action, one gains self-satisfaction; the body is profound and the mind is mysterious. Forget joy and then be content; leave behind life and then remain alive. If this continues, I'm afraid I can compete with Xianmen in terms of longevity and with Wang Qiao in terms of years. Why is it that it doesn't exist?
