Confucian health care is a "heart-oriented" health care system. Confucian health preservation is to achieve spiritual sublimation through physical exercise, physical exercise and self-cultivation. Its ultimate goal is not only for health, but also for longevity and Taoism. Confucianism emphasizes the moral subject function of the heart, which is an organism of human form, qi and mind. The mind is the conscious layer, and the qi is the unconscious layer.
It can be seen that Confucian health preservation is to cultivate the ability of moral practice. Confucian health care takes self-cultivation as the main content, nourishing qi as the important task of fitness, taking "benevolence" as the theoretical guidance and "harmony between man and nature" as the philosophical basis, making "harmony" the highest realm. Confucian health-preserving thought unifies the value of life and the necessity of health-preserving in the belief of "self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world", and does not take simple health-preserving as an important task.
Instead, it pays attention to the existence of people's lives in society as a whole and cultivates the fearless spirit of keeping in good health that people do not take life seriously, which belongs to the category of moral keeping in good health. In the Confucian health preserving theory, Confucius first put forward the viewpoints of "Benevolence leads to longevity" and "The Analects of Confucius Yong Ye", and later put forward with great certainty that "virtue leads to longevity" and "golden mean" thought that only virtue can lead to longevity.
Good moral sentiment is indeed an important symbol of mental health, which is a necessary prerequisite for getting rid of diseases and prolonging life. Yan Hui asked Confucius what "Xin Zhai" was, and Confucius said, "First of all, you should relax wholeheartedly, calm down and get rid of other distractions, so that your thoughts and consciousness can gradually gather and concentrate on one thing. At the same time, we should adjust our breathing to make it slow from fast to deep, so we don't have to listen with our ears, but feel with our hearts.
Then I will deepen my practice and have no distractions. At this point, I have reached the point where my heart and interest depend on each other. At that time, I couldn't hear my heart. It's time to induce with gas. The function of the ear can only hear the sound, and the function of the heart can only feel the tangible things outside. Qi is empty and empty, but it is ubiquitous and can contain everything. When the practice enters the advanced stage, the brain thinking also enters a very quiet state.
Gradually enter the realm of chaos, qi is one, and the heart is silent. At this time, man and nature are integrated, and the truth comes out, as if entering an empty and bright world. At this time, "Tao" naturally coincides with you. This is emptiness, that is, Xin Zhai.
