is not angry.
Anyone who knows Mr. Cheng Xinnong knows that Mr. Cheng is very angry. I met some patients who were "not getting enough" and often banged the table with others, but they were not really angry. They just yelled and that was it.
Afterwards, he also conducted self-examination and believed that it was not good to blow his beard and glare, but his sincerity to the patients will never change.
He said, although I look angry, in fact I will never move. Anger is like a violent storm, it comes and goes quickly, and after that there is nothing.
Philosophical master Kant said that to be angry is to punish yourself for the mistakes of others.
Mr. Cheng Xinnong believes that the first reason for anger is low level; the second reason is small-mindedness; and the third reason is that one cannot think clearly.
He often advises patients and friends to maintain a happy mood and a sunny attitude, which is the best care for their health.

loves simplicity.
In terms of life, Mr. Cheng Xinnong has very low and few requirements. "Simplicity" is his unchanging principle.
He made this summary: One bed, one table, one TV; two chairs, two windows, two calligraphy and paintings, three walls of books, three needles, this is all I have.
He pointed out that if you are simpler, your life will have more space; if you are simpler, your life will be more orderly.
This is true regardless of food, clothing, housing, transportation, or the seven emotions and six desires.
You will feel full after eating to avoid feeling stagnant in your stomach; cotton clothes are more close-fitting and comfortable; the room is simple and clean, making you happier.
Nowadays, people praise " and abandon ". In the final analysis, it is "simple". Understand that less is more, and life will become more complete.
Smart people always complicate things, and end up being trapped by pain and entangled in troubles; wise people always simplify everything, so they are always content and happy.

is about balance.
"The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic·Su Wen" says, "Five grains are for nourishment, five fruits are for help, five animals are for benefit, and five vegetables are for supplement. The smell is combined and taken to replenish the essence and energy."
Mr. Cheng Xinnong pointed out that , spleen and stomach are acquired, and raising them well is the foundation of health and longevity.
He believes that the daily diet should not be too single or too biased. It is best to eat a variety of foods mixed.
In this way, nutrition can be balanced, lean energy can be replenished, and sufficient energy sources can be provided for the spleen and stomach.
Vegetables on the daily table are colorful and come in many varieties.
He said humorously, "No matter vegetarian or meat, I will accept everyone who comes and accept them all. This is also in line with the principle of "combining the five flavors" in the diet of traditional Chinese medicine, that is, eating should not be partial, and eat a mixture.
He also said that from a balanced diet, it can be deduced that emotions, labor, leisure, etc., must be "balanced" in many aspects. This is the correct way to develop health.

Normal mind.
Regarding emotional care, Mr. Cheng Xinnong believes that the best state is to have a "normal mind."
He does not take fame, fortune and fame too seriously. His consistent style is to be pure-hearted and indifferent to fame and fortune.
He advocated that you should not have too many desires, and do not take setbacks too seriously. As the saying goes, "the moon appears in the clear water of the heart, and the sky is cloudless when the mind is clear." If you cultivate your heart well, everything will be in order and harmonious.
In life, eat warm food and drink hot tea, and feel content.
Being kind to yourself is in the details of life. Look at the world with a normal heart, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
In addition to engaging in acupuncture research and treatment, Mr. Cheng Xinnong also constantly sums up his experience, works hard, and writes books.
