Confucius was the founder of Confucianism in China, was later revered as saints. His life was cold, after the catastrophe. But he has long life, lived to 73 years. So, how he may enjoy in the face of adversity seventies age? Let us look.

Confucius great emphasis on mental health, he said: “The gentleman has three ring: less time, blood gas yet, quit in color; and strong too, the young blood, quit in the struggle; and old also, both the bad blood gas, quit in too. “here is very clear that people should be in different periods of physical features to health, that is the age difference, physiological and psychological characteristics are not the same approach to health should differ: Green youth, because the body is immature, careful not to early marriage, not too frequent sex life; the prime of life, the body strong peak, with plenty of power, temper big fight less with people, to avoid harming themselves; to old age, physical has been weak, it should see light of some fame and fortune, not to painstaking pursuit of anything.

Confucius say, and it is doing so. In particular, he appreciated the kind of ascetic and spiritual state, as he was Yen Hui's “one basket for cooked rice food, poured drinks, in the alley, people stand it and worry, did not allow his music,” said the praise: “Yin-zai, back too! “Confucius most opposed to hesitate, complaining spirits, promote big heart, strong and resolute. There are three things he considered most harmful to health: arrogant, wandering goers, eating dissolute. And put forward three kinds of healthy things: regulate action, leaders of good, pay friends.

Confucius good at using music to emotions, feelings. He has a deep research on the music, personally tried out a “music by”, but unfortunately has been lost. He also often masters of music was music theory. In Qi heard “Shao” music, actually, “I do not know in March meat”, with the help cultivate the spirit of music. Chen must pay to the occasion, he is music not be extinguished, being hungry, but also worry about Chu. Every time I hear someone singing quiet songs, he certainly asked people to sing again, follow their own learning. As its disciples said: “Son of Oscillation, application application, such as also, like every day also.” Confucius is such music to relax by the spirit of the purpose of health sickness.

in many people's minds, Confucius is a frail man, the look pedantic old scholar. In fact, Confucius love sports, good health, according to research what he stands with 1.83 meters. Confucius, like fishing and archery, and still place great rider. But his favorite sport is mountain climbing and swimming. The so-called “benevolent Leshan, music wise water”, late spring season, he often go hand in hand with more than 10 students to Yishui swimming, will stop to have fun party, and then praying for rain sets go for a blow to the dance, singing folk songs all the way home. Because Confucius long-standing physical exercise, so even though his life many times in trouble, but hang around.

in the diet, Confucius pushed frugality, while great attention to health. He has put forward the “eight do not eat”, that is: ① rancid rice grain mold, rotten fish, bad meat, do not eat; ② color bad, do not eat; ③ smelly, do not eat; ④ cooked rice and cooked properly, not food; ⑤ improper seasoning, do not eat; ⑥ unseasonably, not food; ⑦ Rouqiedebu Founder and do not eat; ⑧ Shangwang buy wine and cooked meat, food or water.

Confucius, not only follows that this knowledge through his disciples to teach us to avoid the diseases caused by improper diet. It is usually a wide range of training and shaping the Confucius strong physique, so he's in that war, has the power to realize their ideas away for the hard work, and eventually become the world's cultural history of a great man.
