葛洪养生学说简论

On Gehong's Theory of Preserving Health

葛洪的养生学说涵盖三方面内容:以“正心”“养性”为主要内容的积德济生论;“假求外物以自坚固”的假物论;以“形宅神主”为主要特征的神住形固论。葛洪的以德济生论是把养生活动道德化,而假物论重在移性固形,他的神住形固论意在神形皆保。三者分别从道德涵养、肉身永存、境界追求等层面互济互补,共铸一较为完备的养生学说,这对于现时代人们的养生实践也有一定的借鉴意义。

The main purpose of this paper is to discuss Gehong＇ s theory of preserving health in short. This theory involves such content as： promising longevity by virtues; borrowing the constitutional quality of other materials to strengthen oneself; securing life through fixing up both body and soul. The author of the paper considers that Ge＇ s theory of preserving oneself health covers three aspects, i.e. self - restraint of morality, pursing immaculacy in spirits and ever - lasting of body. This theory is meaningful to nowaday human beings for keeping themselves healthy in some degree.
