Chapter 299: Theory of Health Preservation, Ji Kang Plays Guangling Powder
Ji Kang, who was sitting in the back seat in the middle, said earnestly: "Uncle Ping, you still have to pay attention to your health and don't take the homemade Five Stone Powder. After all, those who act on their own and act excessively, without restraint in their diet, will
It will cause all kinds of diseases; lustful and tireless, it will lead to the depletion of essence and blood, and the body will get worse and worse."
Cao Shuang nodded and said: "Uncle Ping, what Uncle Ye said makes some sense. You should take less Wu Shi Powder in the future. Of course, it would be better if you don't."
He Yan poured another full cup of wine disdainfully and drank it all: "It's really nice. The wine in Uncle Zhao's house is good. Uncle Ye would be more concerned about it, but you also have to take care of yourself.
The inner elixir is not a good thing, be careful and you will die that day. The First Emperor and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty both took this stuff, but unfortunately it was of no use and it was poisonous."
Ji Kang respected Laozi and Zhuangzhuang, emphasized the way of maintaining health and food, and advocated a lifestyle of "going beyond the famous and taught and letting nature take its course".
He often cultivates and nourishes his mind, takes inner elixirs, plays the piano and recites poems, and is satisfied with himself. He praises the deeds of the ancient hermit masters and longs for a transcendent life.
Ji Kang once traveled to the mountains and swamps to collect medicinal herbs. When he was so proud, he forgot to go home in a daze.
At that time, people who cut wood saw him and thought he was a god.
When he met the hermit Sun Deng in Jijun Mountain, Ji Kang traveled with him.
Sun Deng kept silent and said nothing. When Ji Kanglin left, Sun Deng said, "You are strong-willed and talented, how can you avoid disaster?"
Ji Kang met the hermit Wang Lie again, and they went into the mountains together. Wang Lie had obtained the essence of the stone, the candy, and ate half of it himself. The remaining half was given to Ji Kang, and it was all condensed into stones.
He also saw a book written on white silk in the stone chamber, and immediately called Ji Kang to get it, but the book disappeared again. Wang Lie then sighed: "Ji Kang had unusual interests but always failed to find talents. This is fate.
!" But this is only in his opinion,
Ji Kang is still living a good life in Luoyang now. He has married Cao Cao's granddaughter and is considered the consort of the Cao Wei clan. Of course, if Sima Yi had succeeded, he would not have been treated so well.
Ji Kang didn't get angry, but responded calmly: "I take Neidan for health, and I do it in moderation. Unlike you who take Wushi Powder for temporary stimulation and pleasure, you often take too much, which will only cause damage in the end."
own body."
He Yan said: "Uncle Ye, you, you are so sophistical, even I can't speak to you."
Cao Shuang smiled and said: "Uncle Ping, although you are also a famous scholar who wrote the Honghu Chapter (Analects of Confucius), don't forget that Uncle Ye is the one who wrote "The Theory of Health Preservation"!"
There is a saying in the theory of health preservation: "There may be people in the world who say that gods can learn it, and immortality can be achieved by exerting one's strength; or that the life span of a hundred and twenty is the same in ancient and modern times. In the past, it was not a monster. All of these are lost, please
Let’s discuss it roughly.
Although the gods cannot be seen with eyes, it is recorded in the records and passed down by previous history. Comparatively speaking, it is necessary. It seems that they are specially endowed with strange auras and are naturally gifted, which cannot be caused by accumulated knowledge.
As for the guidance and education, in order to live out one's life, one can live for more than a thousand years, and one can live for hundreds of years, and one can have ears. But people in this world are not smart, so they can't get it. How can you say this? If you take medicine to seek perspiration, you may not be able to achieve it.
Gained; but feeling guilty for one episode, wandering away.
If you haven't eaten in the whole morning, you will be eager to eat; Zengzi mourned and was not hungry for seven days. If you sit down at night, you will be depressed and sleepy; if you have worries in your heart, you will not sleep until the end of the day...
…”
Ji Kang slowly spoke: "People who are good at maintaining health are indifferent in their thoughts, quiet and calm in their actions, and continue to reduce selfishness and greed until they are eliminated.
Understand that fame, wealth and status can harm the spirit, so despising and not pursuing it does not mean that you hope to get it in your heart and then exercise restraint in your actions;
Understand that delicious food can harm life, so abandoning it without attachment does not mean that you are greedy in your heart and then forcefully suppress it in action.
External things such as fame, fortune, status, etc. will harm the mind, so they should not be kept in the heart. The spirit will be particularly full because of simplicity and indifference. The mind will be magnanimous without worries, and the mind will be peaceful without thinking."
Ji Kang paused briefly and continued: "Restrain yourself with the power of pure unity, and nourish yourself with the energy of harmony. The two will complement each other day by day, and they will be unified in a stable state.
Then fumigate the body with Ganoderma lucidum, moisten the organs with sweet springs, bathe the skin with the rising sun, calm the mind with music, let nature take its course, and feel comfortable, so that the body will be light and healthy, and the mind will be calm.
Forget about the so-called joy brought by material enjoyment, and then you will get real happiness and satisfaction, and get rid of the worries of life, and your body will gain longevity.
If you persist like this, you will almost be comparing your lifespan with Xianmen, and your age with Wang Ziqiao!"
Cao Shuang thought to himself that Uncle Ye was really promoting his theory of health care regardless of occasion or time.
Cao Shuang continued to watch the singing and dancing that did not stop and said with emotion: "What Shu Ye said makes sense, but people all have desires, and they have to find their own way in their positions. If not, there will be a disaster of confiscating the family and destroying the family.
!”
Yang Zong said with unfinished meaning: "What Uncle Ye said makes sense, this is how health care should be."
Ji Kang's good friend Ruan Ji said: "Uncle Ye, it's rare for us to gather at the prime minister's house for a banquet today. How about you play Guangling San for everyone to help the wine get better?"
Cao Shuang smiled and said: "Uncle Ye, I haven't heard much of your Guangling San. How about I play a song for everyone?"
Ji Kang cupped his fists and said, "Since you are all interested in listening, I dare not disobey my order!"
Cao Shuang clapped his hands and said, "Come here, take the Jiaowei from the treasury. This is the only one in my house that can match Shu Ye's Guangling San."
Cao Shuang then said to the dancers and musicians who were dancing: "Just go down and wait."
According to records, Guangling San was a gift from an ancient person when Ji Kang visited Luoxi.
There is also a legend about gods and ghosts in "Taiping Guangji", which talks about Ji Kang's love for the harp. Once, Ji Kang stayed at Yuehua Pavilion at night and could not sleep at night. He sat up and played the harp. The elegant sound of the harp moved a ghost, and the ghost passed away.
"Guangling San" was written by Ji Kang, and he even made an agreement with Ji Kang: this song cannot be taught to others.
"Guangling San" is also known as "Guangling Zhixi". It is a large-scale guqin piece in ancient China. It is a very famous guqin piece in the history of Chinese music and one of the top ten famous guqin pieces.
It is the ancient song "Nie Zheng Assassins the Korean Puppet". Ji Kang is famous for playing this song well.
Ruan Ji said happily: "I didn't expect that the Prime Minister's house actually has Jiaowei made by Cai Bojie himself. Today, I have two kinds of ear blessings."
The maid in the palace carefully lifted Jiao Wei to the table in front of Ji Kang. Ji Kang carefully cleaned his hands with the water brought by the maid, and carefully wiped the water on his hands with a towel.
Although the formal process still requires bathing and changing clothes, now we don’t have so much time, so we can only keep it simple.
Then he began to play with all his heart, and the next moment the melody was passionate and the generous sound of the piano rang in the hall...
