To live a long life, practice calligraphy. In the past, I only had a perceptual understanding of practicing calligraphy and longevity, but I was very shocked to see Su Shishu, the former chairman of the Chinese Book Association, talk about the relationship between calligraphy and longevity. Su Shishu said:
According to statistics, the average age of the emperors is 39.1 years old, the average age of the monks and masters is 66 years old, and only the average age of the calligraphers of the past is 79.7 years old. The average age of calligraphers throughout the ages is 40.6 years higher than that of the emperor.

So why do calligraphers generally live longer? In fact, to put it bluntly, it is that practicing calligraphy is beneficial to the body and mind. Not only does Su Shishu advocate writing fitness, but Mr. Yang Zaichun, one of the founders of the China Book Association, has also told his own personal experience. He said that I have been practicing words for more than 60 years since I was a child, and I am in my seventies this year, close to 80 years old. It should be said that calligraphy has always been with me and has become an indispensable part of my life and life.
Yang Zaichun said that no matter when I am happy, I need calligraphy; when I am in pain, I need calligraphy even more. A few years ago, I was seriously ill, and the process of hualiao was very painful and very uncomfortable, at this time, once I picked up a brush and wrote, I could forget everything, Buddhism is called the four great voids. Therefore, this writing is actually inextricably linked to the mood and body and mind.
In fact, today's young people are running in order to buy a house and a car, running there, the work intensity is very high, and the pressure is greater. If you squeeze out a little time to practice calligraphy, do not require daily practice, two or three times a week, dozens of minutes each time, write a word, a pro-ancient post, do not require you to write well, do not require you to become famous and become a family - it is not important to become a calligrapher - taste the taste of calligraphy, you will forget all things (especially some unhappy things), and will make your heart quiet, become very stable, not impetuous.
Some netizens left a message saying that calligraphy does have the effect of self-cultivation and transfer of pain, and that dedicated writing will concentrate on generating yang qi. A netizen talked about personal feelings, last October had an accident at home, suddenly had a mental breakdown, felt lost everything ......... After every day after that, I was practicing calligraphy, putting all my thoughts on calligraphy, only when I wrote did I feel that everything around me did not exist, thank you calligraphy for letting me out of the shadows.
Of course, not only young people can use good calligraphy to reduce stress, but also middle-aged and elderly friends - middle-aged and elderly friends have more time, and calligraphy is a very good aerobic exercise. Whether young or middle-aged or old, writing contributes to physical and mental health, and I agree. Because of this, Yang Zaichun and Su Shishu have actively advocated that a healthy life begins with writing, and there is nothing to practice calligraphy!
