The ancients used yin and yang, adjusted the number of techniques, had a regular diet, had a regular daily life, and did not work rashly, so they were able to combine body and spirit, calmly over a hundred years old, and did not think of longevity. ——"The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic"
People's pursuit of longevity has never stopped since ancient times. The ancient emperors wanted to live long, so they hoped for "the elixir". In the end, the more they ate, the shorter their lives, because these so-called elixir were all poison Chemical substances. In modern times, those who want to live longer rely on technology.
However, longevity that does not follow the laws of nature is impossible. If you want to live a long life while maintaining considerable health, you have to rely on your own practice. In Hunan, there is a 127-year-old long-lived man named Tian Longyu. The old man's life is extremely embarrassing, but she walked all the way strong.
Tian Longyu was born on June 9, 1893 in Xinmin Village, Guanzhuang Township, Fenghuang County, Hunan Province. When she was first born, Cixi was still listening to politics and the feudal society had not yet perished. After Tian Longyu became an adult, and during the period of the Republic of China and the war, Tian Longyu's family was relatively remote, so it was not affected much.
When Tian Longyu was 14 years old, he followed the arrangement of his parents and married a farmer in the same village. The main things he did every day were farming, herding cattle, cutting firewood, and cutting pig grass. He would occasionally be outside when he was busy. Be a helper for others. This life of
lasted for decades, until the death of his wife in 1973, at this time Tian Longyu had already cried out of tears, Tian Longyu had given birth to 13 children, but the eldest child did not live beyond 18.
Tian Longyu had to adopt a daughter outside. Fortunately, her daughter was still filial when she grew up. He took the elderly Tian Longyu to Qingshawan Alley in the ancient city of Phoenix to live with.
Before 2006, Tian Longyu had lived in the countryside for 113 years, so some people speculated that Tian Longyu's longevity might be related to her long-term living in the country with fresh air.
Regarding the secret of his longevity, Tian Longyu once revealed in an interview. First of all, in terms of diet, Tian Longyu eats relatively lightly, perhaps because he lived in the mountains in the past, because he rarely descended, so there are few seasonings. Buying is rarely used, so I have developed a light diet. In addition, the elderly prefer to eat vegetables and seldom eat meat. They especially like some coarse grains and often take some coarse grains such as peanuts and corn as snacks.
Tian Longyu was born with a cheerful and lively temperament, perhaps because he suffered too many blows when he was young. In short, Tian Longyu is very enthusiastic to the people around him, and often takes the initiative to chat with neighbors and relatives. I'm fine at ordinary times, and I will go to the ancient city of Phoenix to join in the fun.
Tian Longyu is more than a hundred years old, but still can’t take it easy. Although he can’t do physical work, he often uses a small kettle to pour small vegetables such as chili and shallots in the ground. He will raise a few in the yard when he is fine. Potted flowers, sit on the balcony in bad weather, life is slow and beautiful.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed in Fenghuang County. In 2008, Tian Longyu was named "National Top Ten Birthday Stars" and at the same time was named Hunan's first birthday star. Tian Long, now 127 years old, still lives happily with his adopted daughter. Tian Longyu's secret to longevity seems simple, but in a modern society where material desires and fast-paced flow, you still have to make a certain determination to realize it.
