The Way of Static and Motion

Whether life lies in movement or tranquility, the two should not be neglected. Exercise can revitalize, tranquility can purify the body and mind, and the way to health is to be in harmony with movement and tranquility. It is important to clarify that the way of movement and quietness is a guide for modern people to obtain health, and that the quality of life can be truly improved through moderate movement and quietness of mind and spirit. Keywords: health maintenance, exercise, tranquility, what role do exercise and tranquility play in health maintenance? If we only think unilaterally without examining this issue dialectically, we will fall into one-sided understanding and unnecessary arguments, and it will be difficult to explore the profound and correct essence of health maintenance. Zhuangzi Zhi Beiyou” cloud: “human life, the gathering of gas is also, gathered for life, scattered for death.” This points out that life activity is the most fundamental material in nature, “gas” gathering and dispersing the results of the movement of the clutch, life can not be separated from the material movement. And yin and yang is the root of life, everything is negative yin and hold the yang, “Su wen yin and yang should be like the great theory” cloud: “yin and yang, the way of heaven and earth, the program of all things, the parents of the change, life and death of the original, the House of God also.” Yin and yang mutual root and mutual use, life in the material and functional, static and movement in the endless deduction and development, so take care of life, dynamic and static nourishment should not be neglected. First, the movement of life, revitalization From ancient times to the present, there is no lack of “movement” based on the school of health, they advocate the movement can be nourished, adhere to the longevity, “flowing water does not rot, the household is not stupid” can be described as the theoretical abode of the school of dynamic nutrition. For example, “Lu Shi Chun Qiu – exhaustive number of articles” said: “flowing water does not rot, the door is not worm-eaten. Form and gas is also the same, the form does not move the essence does not flow. If the essence does not flow, the gas is depressed”, emphasizing the importance of exercise. Hua Tuo also said: “The human body wants to get labor, but do not make extreme body. Shake the grain to eliminate, blood circulation, the disease shall not be born, when, for example, like a household pivot, the end of immortality.” The French thinker Voltaire put forward “life is movement” maxim, but also a breakthrough movement for the importance of health. Metabolism is a basic feature of life, exercise can strongly promote the body’s metabolic process, so that life is revitalized. Metabolism, the need for adequate oxygen and nutrients, exercise so that the whistle function to enhance the cardiac muscle contraction, every minute from the heart to pump out more adequate blood, more oxygen transported to the body’s various organs and tissues; exercise to promote digestion and absorption, improve the activity of digestive enzymes, so that food nutrients are more fully digested and absorbed to the organs and tissues to provide more adequate nutrients to slow down the aging of the cells; exercise to make the bones, joints and muscles maintain good health. Bones, joints, muscles to maintain good function; exercise can also enhance the body’s immune function, to prevent a variety of diseases and even cancer have an important role. It can be seen that life lies in movement, and persistent movement makes the tree of life evergreen. Second, quiet life, health and longevity through quiet life is not a few. A lot of static-oriented professions, such as writers, calligraphers, painters and scientists, etc., living to eighty or ninety years of age, but there is no shortage of people, since ancient times, Zen masters, Taoist priests, most of the health of longevity, which is not unrelated to their regular meditation into the static. In the animal kingdom, is regarded as a symbol of longevity of the turtle and the crane, is also good quiet and do not like to move the animal. From this we can see that the relationship between tranquility and longevity is close. Taoism, represented by Laozhuang, advocates that the health of the spirit, and advocates the “quiet” as the main method of health care, that the quiet can nourish the spirit, can lead to longevity. Taoist health care focuses on natural tranquility, less selfish and desireless life, through spiritual cultivation, exclude the desire for profit, acceptance of the heart to practice quiet, to do everything and the heart is not stained, in order to fit in the health of the road. Zhuang Zi put forward the “calmness and emptiness”, “let nature take its course”, Lao Zi put forward the “purity and inaction”, “return to simplicity and return to reality Laozi’s concept of “purity and inaction” and “returning to simplicity and truth” is both a method of longevity and a realm of life. They advocated “guiding”, “spitting na”, “keeping quiet”, and “to the extreme of emptiness, keeping quiet” in the practice of health care. The spirit of internal guardianship, follow nature’s health care methods. Life lies in the stillness contains two meanings: one is stillness, refers to no physical activity, material stillness. Like Zhuangzi’s meditation, the requirement to sit quietly, adjust the breath into the quiet, temporarily close all the information channels, the whistle will be adjusted to the only sheer, spit the only fine, is to achieve their own quiet realm. The second is to nourish, rest and recuperate the nature of the mind, also refers to the psychological calm, not to things like, not to their own sadness, calm, calm. Stillness focuses on “nourishing the heart”, “Nei Jing” requires people to “be free and less desire, peace of mind and not afraid, the shape of labor and not tired”, apparently also advocates health care focus on nourishing the heart, “the spirit of the internal guard, the disease is safe from. ” The intention is also to emphasize the nourishment of the heart. Modern psychology in psychoneuroimmunology has recognized that a person who can often keep themselves quiet and peaceful state of mind, will be able to influence their own immune system, improve its function, thereby playing a role in the treatment of disease and fitness, and therefore actively cultivate this state of mind, you can make the body in a healthy state. Third, static and dynamic moderation, the Taoist method of nature Exercise and meditation is the way of health, we need to comprehensively examine, moderate balance, mastery of the law, make good use of, to prevent the drawbacks caused by the biased point of view. Static and dynamic should not be too much, the so-called things will be contrary, too long will be injured, too strong will be harmful. Labor and leisure, static and movement, must be moderate and in moderation. Sun Simiao said: “The way to nourish the nature often want to small labor, but not fatigue and can not handle the ear. And flowing water does not rot, the household center is not stupid, in order to its movement.” “The way to nourish sex, not long walk, long standing, long sitting, long lying, long vision, long listening. Covered with a long time to see hurt blood, long lying hurt gas, long standing hurt bone, long sitting hurt flesh, long walking hurt tendon also.” Can clearly see that he attaches importance to the degree of movement, pointing out that excessive labor action is harmful to the body. Similarly, the degree of quietness is also needed, if the practice of static, not with the appropriate combination of sports, will also cause the decline of the body’s functions, and even lead to muscle wasting atrophy and osteoporosis. Confucius also advocates the combination of static and static, the combination of work and rest of the health method, “Confucius family language – five Yi solution” cloud: “If the wise man, will be a section of the body, static and static to the righteousness, joy and anger to the time, no harm to its nature, although the life is not also can be?” The existence of everything in the universe is the unity of movement and stillness. Life lies in the movement, also lies in the stillness. The grasp of static should also follow the way of nature, such as the spring and summer seasons, the climate is mild, everything is alive and well, the most appropriate to stretch the body, to move Yang. Such as the “Su wen four gas tune God on the Great Theory” said: “spring March, this is called hair Chen, heaven and earth are born, everything to glory; night lying early, wide walk in the court, was hair slow shape, to make Zhisheng ……”. Autumn and winter seasons the climate began to get cold, everything began to wither, it should be calm and quiet body, to quiet and nourish the yin. Scripture said: “Winter March, this is closed. Water ice ground chaparral, do not disturb the sun, lying down early and getting up late, must wait for daylight, so that the Zhi if the ambush if hiding …… this winter gas should be, the way to raise Tibetan …… ” [1] Fourth, the significance of the times, both physical and mental nourishment Sports and quiet for different age stages There should be corresponding adjustment and orientation. Young people should be seven points of movement, three points of rest and recuperation, while the middle-aged and elderly should be three points of movement and seven points of rest and recuperation. Because the movement can promote growth and development, young people is the peak of growth and development, appropriate exercise to help improve the metabolic rate, promote their own growth, in line with the laws of physiology and nature; middle-aged and old people are not as good as young people, the function is gradually in the period of decline, the stillness can reduce the body’s metabolic rate to inhibit the aging of the body, and conducive to the old and middle-aged health. The way of health maintenance of moderate movement and static has special guiding significance for the modern people in the economic era. As modern people, we have to cope with all kinds of pressure, intense and busy work, fast-paced life, constantly updated knowledge and information, complicated and trivial interpersonal relationships are tightly bound people’s body and mind. Therefore, modern people are relatively more in need of meditation to resolve the body’s fatigue and the mind’s restlessness with the serenity of the temperament of the far-reaching. If you don’t know how to take care of yourself, you will dissipate the true vitality of your life. Ancient China’s average life expectancy of more than 400 emperors was only forty years old, an important reason for short life is too much love and desire, too much interference of all kinds, life has been in a state of agitation and material depletion, resulting in qi disorders, deficiency of essence and blood. On the contrary, the old Chinese medicine to adjust the pulse to whistle, calligraphy and painting to write and paint to concentrate, the spirit of the internal guard, in fact, is the specific embodiment of the quiet life. Therefore, the old Chinese medicine more than a long and healthy life, history has recorded more than four hundred Chinese medicine practitioners, the average life expectancy of more than eighty years old. In short, health care “static” and “movement” both opposing and unified, not to separate the two, the so-called “mind and spirit to static as appropriate, the body to move the main”. Moderate exercise and mental tranquility, these two for each other, only know how to harmonize the relationship between the two, the combination of static and dynamic, the body can be healthier, the quality of life can be more improved!
