In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there was a young man named Li Xiaobai, who lived in Chang'an City and lived an ordinary and fulfilling life. Li Xiaobai is open-minded and generous, and is deeply loved by his neighbors. However, he has a unique pursuit - to find the secret of longevity.
Since he was a child, Li Xiaobai has heard that there are many long-lived people in the world, who either live in the deep mountains and old forests, or hide in the market, enjoying the long years and quiet life. He was full of curiosity and longed to one day visit these long-lived people and ask them about the way to live a long life.
Finally one day, Li Xiaobai made up his mind and embarked on a journey to find a long-lived person. He passed through the bustling city of Chang'an, crossed the steep mountains and rivers, and went through many hardships to finally find the twelve legendary longevity.
The first long-lived man was a crane-haired Taoist priest who lived in the mountains, practiced Taoism, and had no quarrel with the world. Li Xiaobai asked him for advice on the way to longevity, and the Taoist priest smiled and said: "Immortality is not human." However, cultivating the mind and cultivating the nature can prolong life. I am quiet every morning and dusk, self-cultivation, no distractions, and naturally I can live a long life. ”
After Li Xiaobai heard this, he realized something and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. He said goodbye to the Taoist priest and continued on his way.
The second long-lived man was a centenarian who was in good spirits and walked vigorously. The old man told Li Xiaobai: "If you want to live a long life, eating modestly and living regularly is the key." I go to bed early and get up early every day, eat lightly, and never eat fat and sweet, so I can enjoy this high life. ”
After Li Xiaobai heard this, his heart suddenly brightened. He realizes that longevity is not out of reach, and that as long as you pay attention to the details of your daily life, you can move towards longevity.
In the following journey, Li Xiaobai visited the other ten longevity people one after another. Some of them are doctors with benevolent hearts, some are knights with strong martial arts, and some are Confucian scholars who read poetry and books...... Although they have different identities, they all have one thing in common - they all have an open-minded and optimistic heart, and they are both able to find their own joy and satisfaction in life.
In the communication with these long-lived people, Li Xiaobai gradually understood the true meaning of longevity. He understood that longevity is not only the accumulation of years, but also a manifestation of life attitude and state of mind. Only by maintaining a positive attitude and paying attention to physical and mental health can we leave our footprints in the long river of time.
After returning to Chang'an City, Li Xiaobai shared what he had seen and learned with his neighbors. He told everyone that longevity is not an unattainable dream, as long as we feel life with our hearts and embrace the world with love, we can leave good memories in the long river of years.
After listening to Li Xiaobai's story, the neighbors expressed that they wanted to learn from him, pay attention to physical and mental health, and pursue a higher quality of life. Li Xiaobai also gained more friendship and respect in the process.
As the years passed, Li Xiaobai also entered old age. However, he is still in good spirits and with a vigorous gait. His life was full of fun and fulfillment, and every day was full and meaningful.
One day, when Li Xiaobai was sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun, a young scholar came over. He asked Li Xiaobai for advice on the way to live a long life, hoping to live a wonderful life in the years to come.
Li Xiaobai looked at the young scholar with a smile, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knows that the journey he has gone through to find a long-lived person not only allows him to understand the true meaning of life, but also can point out the direction and transmit positive energy for future generations.
So, Li Xiaobai began to tell the story and shared his experience and understanding with this young scholar. He told the scholars that in order to live a long life, one must first cultivate one's mind and maintain a positive attitude, secondly, one should pay attention to physical and mental health, develop good living habits, and finally, learn to enjoy life and discover the beauty and fun in life.
After hearing this, the scholars were deeply inspired. He expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Li Xiaobai and said that he would bring these valuable experiences back into his own life.
Looking at the scholar's distant back, Li Xiaobai's heart was full of relief and satisfaction. He knows that his story and experiences will continue to be passed on, inspiring more people to pursue longevity and enjoy life.
In this story full of positive energy, we see Li Xiaobai's persistent pursuit and deep understanding of the way of longevity. He not only learned valuable lessons from the 12 long-lived people, but also practiced them in his own life and lived his life to the fullest. At the same time, through his stories and experiences, he conveys positive energy and a positive attitude towards life, influencing the people around him and future generations.
As Li Xiaobai said: "Longevity is not an unattainable dream, but a goal that each of us can pursue and achieve." As long as we feel life with our hearts and embrace the world with love, we will be able to leave our footprints in the long river of years. "Let's follow in the footsteps of Li Xiaobai, pursue longevity, enjoy life, and live your own wonderful life!
