天地之间,人最为珍贵。头部象征天,足部象征地,父母给予的身体应当珍视,《尚书·洪范》中提到的五福里,长寿是最为重要的。养生必须知晓三条戒律:大怒、大欲和大醉。这三者中只要占有一项,就必须防止损失真元气(人体最根本的气)。想要追求长生必须戒除暴怒,怒火不发则心境自然安定,就像木材能去火而不成灰烬一样,人能戒除暴躁性情就能延长寿命。贪求欲望无穷会忘却精气,用心过度会丧失元神,形体劳损会散失中和之气,还凭借什么来保全这个身体呢?心若过于耗费就会枯竭,形体若过于劳累就会怯弱,神志若过于损伤就会虚弱,气若过于损耗就会断绝。世人如果想要认识养生的道理,就要做到喜乐有常、嗔怒少发,心意诚恳端正、思虑消除,顺应理法修身以去除烦恼。春季宜“嘘”字功以明目,夏季宜“呵”字功以养心,秋季和冬季宜“吹”字功以使肺肾安宁,四季常做“呼”字功以助脾运化食物,三焦宜“嘻”字功以排出热气使热难停留。头发宜多梳,气宜修炼,牙齿宜多叩,津液宜吞咽。想要不死就要修炼“昆仑”(指头部),经常用双手摩擦面部。春季月份少吃酸味多吃甘味,冬季月份宜吃苦味不宜吃咸味;夏季增加辛味减少苦味,秋季减少辛味略微增加酸味,每季末的十八天少吃咸味、甘味略加节制,这样自然五脏能保持平安。如果能完全做到饮食调节,身体就会康健,滋味调和就没有生病的困难。春寒时节不要穿太薄的棉衣,夏季出汗多时适宜更换衣物,秋冬感觉冷就添加衣服,不要等到生病才服药。只有夏季最难调理,体内潜伏阴气,忌讳冰水,瓜果桃子和生冷食物宜少吃,以免到秋天形成疟疾或痢疾。心火旺而肾水衰时宜避色欲,保养肾脏固摄精气应当节制,常常让肾充实不虚空,自然强健没有忧虑。吃得过饱伤脾,饥饿伤胃,极度口渴伤血,过多饮水伤气,饥餐渴饮不要太过,以免导致胀满伤害心肺。醉酒后强行饮酒,吃饱后强行进食,没有这样的身体不生疾病的。人依靠饮食来养生,去掉那些过度的习惯自然安适。饭后慢慢行走百步以上,轻轻按摩脐腹帮助消化。半夜时分灵根灌入清水(指唾液),丹田的浊气务必通过呼气排出。饮酒可以陶冶性情,但过量饮酒会预防各种疾病失败(即引发百病)。肺作为华盖(覆盖其他脏腑的器官)如果受伤,咳嗽劳神会损害生命。千万不要用盐来点茶,这分明是引贼进入人家。下焦虚冷使人消瘦,伤肾伤脾使疾病增加。坐卧时要防备风从脑后吹来,脑后受风人不长寿,再加上醉饱之后卧于风中,风邪进入五脏六腑成为灾祸。雁有秩序,狗讲义气,黑鲤鱼朝北游动知晓臣子之礼,人如果没有礼义反而食用这些动物,天地神明最终不会喜欢。保养身体应当节制五种辛味食物(葱、蒜、韭、薤、兴渠),五种辛味如果不节制反而伤身,不要让它们引动虚阳发散,否则精竭血枯疾病逐渐侵袭。不管在家还是在外,如果遇到迅雷大风大雨,应当立即端正严肃,敬畏天威,静坐澄心必须谨慎戒备。恩爱牵缠让人不自由,名利羁绊何时才能休止,放宽一些留下余福,以免导致中年早生白发。顶天立地做人不容易,吃饱穿暖难道不感到愧疚吗?思量难以报答父母深重恩情,早晚焚香频繁祷告忏悔。身体安康长寿福气如何?在于心胸平坦平和、积善行德多。爱惜生命、爱惜身体兼且爱惜真气,请你仔细研读《卫生歌》。
Among all things between Heaven and Earth, human beings are the most precious. The head corresponds to Heaven, and the feet correspond to Earth. One should cherish the body inherited from parents; among the Five Blessings (Wufu) described in the *Book of Documents* (*Hongfan*), longevity is the supreme one. To maintain health, one must know three prohibitions: extreme anger, excessive desires, and heavy intoxication. If even one of these three exists, one must guard against the loss of Zhen Yuan Qi (True Primal Qi). To seek longevity, one must restrain anger; when fire does not flare up, the mind naturally settles. Just as wood can extinguish fire without turning to ash, a person who restrains their temperament can extend their life. Greed for desires is endless and causes one to forget Jing (Essence); excessive mental effort leads to the loss of Shen Yuan (Primordial Spirit); physical exhaustion scatters the Zhonghe Qi (Harmonious Qi). By what means can this body be preserved? If the heart/mind is over-consumed, it will be exhausted; if the form/body is over-laboring, it will become weak; if the spirit is over-damaged, it will become deficient; if Qi is over-dissipated, it will be severed. Those who wish to understand the Way of Health Preservation should have regular joy and pleasure, and little anger or resentment; with sincere and upright hearts, eliminating distracting thoughts, they should cultivate themselves according to principles to remove worries. In spring, the "Xu" sound brightens the eyes; in summer, the "He" sound nourishes the Heart; in autumn and winter, the "Chui" sound calms the Lungs and Kidneys; throughout the four seasons, the "Hu" sound aids the Spleen in transforming food; the "Xi" sound clears the Sanjiao (Triple Burner), making heat difficult to retain. Hair should be combed often, Qi should be cultivated, teeth should be tapped frequently, and saliva should be swallowed. To achieve immortality, one must cultivate the "Kunlun" (referring to the head), frequently rubbing the face with both hands. In spring months, eat less sour and more sweet; in winter months, eat bitter and avoid salty. In summer, increase pungent flavors and decrease bitter ones; in autumn, decrease pungent and slightly increase sour. In the transitional months (last 18 days of each season), reduce salt and slightly adjust sweetness; thus, the Five Viscera (Zang-Fu) remain peaceful. If one can fully regulate diet, the body will be healthy, and balanced flavors will prevent illness. In spring cold, do not wear thin cotton clothes; in summer, when sweating heavily, change clothes appropriately; in autumn and winter, add clothing when feeling cold; do not wait until illness arises to take medicine. Summer is the most difficult season to regulate; Yin cold hides inside, so ice water is taboo. Melons, peaches, and raw/cold foods should be eaten sparingly to avoid malaria or dysentery in autumn. When Heart Fire is strong and Kidney Water is weak, sexual activity should be avoided. Nourishing the Kidneys and securing Essence requires moderation. Keeping the Kidneys full and not empty ensures natural strength and freedom from worry. Overeating damages the Spleen; hunger damages the Stomach; extreme thirst damages Blood; drinking too much damages Qi. Do not overindulge in eating and drinking to avoid bloating that harms the Lungs and Heart. Forcing alcohol after drunkenness or forcing food after fullness inevitably leads to disease. Humans rely on diet for nourishment; removing excess brings comfort. After meals, walk slowly for at least a hundred steps and gently massage the umbilical abdomen to aid digestion. At midnight, nourish the spiritual root with clear fluids (saliva), and firmly exhale turbid Qi from the Dantian. Drinking wine can temper character, but excessive drinking invites myriad diseases. If the Lung, acting as the Hua Gai (Canopy covering other organs), is injured, coughing and mental strain damage life. Never use salt to season tea; this is like inviting thieves into the house. Deficiency-cold in the Lower Jiao causes emaciation and damages the Kidneys and Spleen, increasing disease risk. Avoid wind when sitting or lying down, especially behind the neck; wind striking the back of the neck shortens life. Furthermore, lying in the wind while drunk or full allows Wind Evil to enter the Five Viscera, causing disaster. Geese follow order, dogs show righteousness, and black carp swim north knowing loyalty; if humans lack propriety and righteousness yet consume these animals, Heaven and Earth deities will ultimately disapprove. To nourish the body, one must restrain the Five Pungents (Cong, Garlic, Leek, Allium tuberosum, and Asafoetida); unrestrained pungents harm the body, stirring up Deficient Yang, leading to Essence depletion, Blood withering, and gradual disease invasion. Whether at home or abroad, upon encountering thunderstorms or heavy winds, one should immediately stand solemn, revere Heavenly Majesty, sit quietly, clarify the mind, and exercise caution. Entanglement in love and affection restricts freedom; bondage to profit and fame—when will it cease? Widen your perspective to leave room for fortune, avoiding premature white hair in middle age. Standing under Heaven and treading on Earth is not easy; being well-fed and warmly clothed, should one not feel gratitude? Reflecting on the inability to repay the boundless grace of parents, burn incense morning and evening to confess and repent. How to attain bodily peace, longevity, and blessings? By maintaining a calm and level mind and accumulating good deeds. Cherish life, cherish the body, and cherish Qi. Please carefully study the *Song of Health Preservation*.
