Translation

When teaching ordinary people, people who know the way of health preservation in ancient times always talked about the pathogenic factors such as the wind of false evil thieves, which should be avoided in time, and the mood should be calm and relaxed, eliminating distracting thoughts and delusions, so that the true qi can be smooth, and the spirit is kept inside, so that the disease cannot occur. People can be at ease, have few desires, be emotionally stable without anxiety, work physically without getting tired, and their true qi will be tempered, and individuals can fulfill their desires as they wish. People feel sweet no matter what they eat, feel comfortable wearing whatever they want, everyone loves the customs of society, and people do not admire each other regardless of their social status, so these people can be called unpretentious. Therefore, no improper lust will attract their attention, and no adulterous and evil thing can confuse their minds. Whether stupid, smart, capable or small, they are not moved and anxious due to changes in external things, so they are in line with the way of health. The reason why they are able to age more than 100 years without appearing old is precisely because they have comprehended and mastered the method of self-cultivation and cultivation, and their bodies are not harmed by internal and external evil qi. People are becoming more natural and simple. Therefore, excessive hobbies will not interfere with his hearing and hearing, and adulterous heresies will not disturb his mind. Whether it is stupid people or smart people, people with strong ability or weak ability, do not pursue things outside the body such as wine, but are in line with the way of health. Therefore, they are all able to survive the age of 100 without aging, because their health regimen is complete and there is no lifeless crisis.

"Under the teachings of saints" - "saints" here refers to some people who know the way of health preservation, what do they teach when they popularize the way of health preservation to the common people?

From the perspective of the internal environment, the health and strength of the human body are the main factors, and it is a factor that can play an absolute role, so it is necessary to achieve "quiet nothingness" and "true qi from it".

The so-called "Tian Ji" is to temper desires, do not chase fame and fortune, understand life, be at ease with the bland, do not think about some unrealistic things, and do not have distractions.

"True Qi follows it" - people's energy, true qi, full and full, can do what they should do as they want. So "the spirit is guarded, and the illness is never safe." "An" means "He", good health and energy, how can the wind of the evil thief enter the body? Keep your heart pure and healthy, and resist even if there is a "false thief wind" to invade.

"Leisure and less desire"——, "Tianxiang" is "leisure", and "nothingness" is "less desire", so that "peace of mind and not fear", a comfortable and stable mood, there is nothing terrible and worrying. So "tired and tireless", no matter how heavy the workload is, I don't feel tired.

Many people in today's society will have the experience that as long as they work with peace of mind, are interested in the work they are engaged in, and the workload is large, even if they are physically tired, they will not feel tired mentally. The role of the spirit is very important, if a person's spirit is not supported, a little movement will feel fatigue.
